I was thinking exactly about this lately and the whole stuff does make
sense.
Mental disorders are complex, and I'm sorry for the cliché. So those trying
to reduce the whole controversy to a mere pill, as if chemicals were the
key, the saint Graal to all our problems related to the mind by just
reinforcing a couple of neurotransmitters couldn't be more wrong, as
couldn't those trying to neglect a physiologic substrate where emotions,
feelings and cogniscence are founded and pretensioulsy believing to be able
to manage, treat and recover all patients under all circumstances.
Dialectics is in our west-side culture for so long and astonishingly most
people still think as the old greek maniqueists, a 2500 years old
point-of-view.
Like in Eclesiastes, there's a moment for everything. And there's a moment
for medication as there is one for psychoterapy.
The human genoma (the total amount of genes) doesn't specify the whole brain
structure. There aren't sufficient genes to determine the whole brain
structure and the site of everything in the organism, and this is even more
difficult to happen in the brain, where billions of neurons do their
synaptic contacts. The imbalance isn't subtile: we have in the order of 100
thousand genes, but in the order of 10 trillion synapsis in the brain. So
there's a subjective programming, which comes from our individual
experiences along our growing. As an example, amother that stops giving her
brest to a child before the right time, is very possibly distorting many
structures under development. It saounds ridiculous to many people all the
psicologic theories because most people misunderstand psicologists supposing
them to be saying that the child was conscious about the drama; and if they
were saying that, they would actually be very stupid.
But they are saying that a structure in the brain didn't get the
correspondent stimulation at the exact moment as the predecessors' brains
did along the evolution. Same about vision: if brain isn't stimulated by the
optical nerve at its moment, the person won't ever see again, though the
structure is there, healthy, intact. Catched the point?
This child may have eating disorders, anxiety, and many other problems.
Due to different experiences causing different levels of synaptic power in
and outside many neural systems, the experience determines the design of the
circuit. Besides, the synaptic powers may vary along our lives to reflect
the different experiences of the organism, and as a result the design of the
circuits can continously alter. Other circuits won't alter ever.
The brain needs a balance between circuits resistant to modifications and
those which are synaptically as volatile as mercury. Mutiled patients still
feel their lost memebers cold, warm, feel pain, for a long while, but after
some time the brain "revisits" the organism and brings memory up to date.
Studies show that most failed marriages failed about 7 years after marriage,
and this is antropologically supposed to be related to the period needed for
the kids to become (evolutively, refering to primates) more independent.
Possibly.
Anyway, for Pytagoras, the greek Philosopher, 1 was the Reason, 2 the
Opinion, 3 the Male and Power, 4 the Justice... and 7 the secret of HEALTH!
Nature gives us shapeless shapes: clouds, waves and flames. The snakes
changes its skin periodically, the larva becomes a beuatifull butterfly,
love not always remains the same, Jesus rose from the deads.
But I'm just 24 years and I don't feel free exposing such ideas about life
to people who have by far more experience than myself; those who married,
had children, bought a new house, saw the children making new friends in a
new city, saw them leaving home and follow their lives alone, who divorced,
who discovered the value of a mature love, for example.
Though I lived my 24 years as intense as was possible (I always say that I
prefer 10 years 100 miles-hour than 100 years 10 miles-hour), they are just
24.
Anyway I prefer to believe that sooner or later, life is always giving us a
second chance; like U2's last hit Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of It
: "Iit's just a moment, this time will pass". Be it a semester, a decade,
whatever.
You are in the way, Linda!
Your soul (and the soul as said is also the body) is wanting to change and
is asking for hope, so give this wish your brest (got it?) .
I sincerely wish you all serenity and comfidence.

What an excellent analogy (even though I disagree with your viewpoint.)
Look, when you find chemicals that rapidly alter your experience of
dysphoria, you rapidly dismiss all of the psychobabble crap you associated
that dysphoria with previously and come to the inevitable conclusion that
you have some physiological illness.

No, I think what I wrote does make sense.
It's just that I am not that nihilist as you are, and you don't seem to make
any effort to progress as I do. You defend those sitting on a chair and
waiting for paradise to come, what won't ever.

Take care with the common sense Eric! Under all aspects.
As I said, Eric, there's time for everything. Inclusively to listen to what
others are saying and reflecting about it prior to rejecting it in a heart
beat.
Did you really read what I wrote? As I said, life always gives us a second
chance, so here it's yours: "(...)as couldn't those trying to neglect a
physiologic substrate where emotions, feelings and cogniscence are founded
and pretensioulsy believing to be able to manage, treat and recover all
patients under all circumstances(...)".
It's not the case of recovering an epiletic with behavioural-cognitive
therapy, it's the case of having the good sense - not your common sense - to
distinguish that both
fields aren't fighting - nor couldn't - once they are complementary and they
have very different functions and limitations.
> Talk therapy is just a cheap replacement for our society's lack of
> understanding of the brain, the central nervous system and how it
interacts
> with our endocrine system.
I dare say you are somehow obtuse, like are many health professionals - and
this is the real problem, not that this field is the last priority in
medicine.
Talk therapy isn't any cheap replacement for anything. There's no
replacement in any imstance.
There are thousands of mediocre pdocs around there, and when a pdoc puts you
in error on a certain med that's evident to be the worst choice for you,
and you know it, what do you do? You change pdoc, don't you? I hope you to
be intelligent enough to perceive when the right stones are being lifted or
not. There are also many stupid psicologists, as there are many
psychiatrists, so it's also the question of choosing somebody competent.
Second, there are different therapies with different approaches and
techniques. Psychoterapy is just one of them.
I'd also like to point out that I have talked to many people for whom it was
evident the need for additional therapy becasue the drugs couldn't build up
a new person, and a fine tuning was lacking. After an improvement and
stabilization with drugs, patients should be attended by a good therapist.
You are wrong Eric, we already know many things about the brain. The 80's
were called the brain's decade.
Unfortunatelly there are problems, mainly the conservativeness of the
medical class. All other professionals have to be up to date with technology
in an eternal feedback loop, doctors are by far inerter. There are many
doctors there prescribing old medications for subtype of disorders they
don't know to exist (supposing to be others), while in many symposiums
studies show that drug X is better. Who knew about rapid-cycling five years
ago?
They are afraid of prescribing specially controlled drugs, they prefer the
try-error method rather than really reflecting about the problem, spending
some minutes searching in a library.
But we already know much of the brain, once again you are just being
nihilist. Try reading some good books, specially "Descartes Error", from
António Damásio (IOWA), "How Mind Works" from Steven Pinker, etc.
You'll see how much we have already developed and how much we already know.
But this knowledge is limited to selected professionals, because of the
inertion of the medical class.

You are banalizing a profession, psicology.
And psicology is kind of a medical science, but deals with the problem with
a different model, more abstract.
But maybe your capability of abstaction is gone and you can't distinguish
things. Possibly.
Besides, I'm not slipping into psychosis.
I'm great, surrounded by my friends, my girlfriend, finishing my major
(electrical engineering), jobbing, having sex, going to the movie, reading,
possibly I get back modelling, talking and listening to people, bodybuilding
again. I know you worry about me, but I feel complete. So don't worry.

I do hate to bring this up, but I have to present an argument to that.
it's like interfering with the components in your tv because you don't like
what's happening in the soap you are watching?
so, from that, one could argue that "Treating cancer with drugs is
interfering with your body just because you don't like what it is doing?" or
"Treating a bacterial infection is interferring with your body just because
it is unable to fight of the infection itself?" or "Taking insulin is
interfering with your body just because your immune system has attacked and
killed all of your insulin producing cells?"
I disagree.
Same thing with the brain. Something is going wrong, and it has been proving
in some of the illnesses that blood flow is abnormal, or that there is a
chemical imbalance. there is proof of those things, and more. Yes, for some
people, therapy itself may be enough. That may allow the brain to correct,
or get around, the imbalance, the problems. but, for many, it is not enough,
and for some, it can make it worse.
Therapy is not the only answer, and for some it can be a problem
Drugs can help to create or maintain a balance, or at least enough balance,
to allow the person to function, to think, well. Some may want or need
therapy at that point. others don't.
Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words.
So some shrinks get rich off of talk. but they too prescribe drugs. facter
that in. and don't forget that there are those psychiatrists and
psychologists out there that give their services for free. (yes I know
someone is paying for it, but it's not the patient, so it's essentially
free, and no I'm not talking about government only either)
here, want prove of what I'm saying here? fine, I'll give it to you. I
cannot, I will not, contemplate suicide no matter how bad things can
possibly get. I'd rather waste away. Even when I'm depressed, my view on
that is the same. But, a time or 2, there have been thoughts along those
lines, for no reason whatsoever. Why? so if someone talks to me about it,
they'll go away? I think not. something, is causing that.
There will be a breakthrough soon, when they figure out the true causes of
cancers, the reasons that the body attacks itself, Mental illnesses, all of
them, everything. and I bet you it's not genes causing it, but possibly
genes increasing the chances of a person getting them.
They are already figuring out that viruses do cause certain types of cancer.
it's only a matter of time till most make the connection.
could mental illnesses be caused by some sort of pathogen? may be a
protein, Sheep Scrapee, Cow 'mad cow', and human 'cjb' (I think that's what
it is called, don't quote me') are all proteins, not viruses or bacteria.
the protein comes into contact with other protein in the brain, changing the
protein it comes into contact with. I don't know, and most scientists don't
know, but there are those out there that know the truth, whatever it may be,
and they will find it. it's only a matter of time, and until then, All of
those drugs can give many, many, many people more time. more time to enjoy
life, more time to live life, till the true cause is found, till the true
cure is found.
I'm sorry for getting off of the subject some, but I felt that I had to say
everything to explain my point, and to make more people aware of what has
been found in science, and some of the new theories, and some that are old,
but are just now being taken seriously.

As for anti-med..I am against routine drugging as a method of social

I am in favour of informed consent for long term drugging should people

I am against the psychiatric drugging of infants and children in all
circumstances except for severe trauma such as torture victims or
child-soldiers etc.
I dont think this is a particular extreme or unusual view.
Your position of supporting pseudo-scientific barbarisms is the extreme one.

This is the point Eric.The scientific status of your theory amounts to
precisely a claim that the patient is "possessed"
by"bi-polar disorder" and needs medications to exorcise them
The arrogance of the idea that a person is somehow intellectually superior
to previous generations because they rename and refine theoretical entities
is called the"whig fallacy " if you care to research it which I doubt.

Back to mindless personal abuse..sigh..
However much you drone on about chemical messengers and physiological
processes that correlate with thought it is not a causal explanation simply
a description. The medical model is only one of many.
The greatest advances are made by interdisciplinary approaches that do not
filter out uncomfortable facts and gaps in knowledge.
Your dogma only supports the involvement and huge financial gains of the
very people you say you disagree with and are incompetent!
The "science" of psychiatry was born precisely at the point where power was
handed to the medical elite from the theological courts.
It was found untenable to suggest that the King of England(George 111) was
possessed by the devil so to neutralise his reforming agenda the doctors
were called in.
You are also ethnocentric..not only "oldtimers" but "primitive" shamans knew
more than us about drug therapies..Many f these drugs are being lost forever
in the lust and greed that is destroying the rain forest and much of the
other natural resources of the planet.
Your very signature,FIDO seems to show what you think about such issues.
You have perhaps a library of knowledge but not enough wisdom to fit in a
shoebox.

This is true and is the nod of homage that clinical psychologists give to
their social masters the psychiatrists.
It is absurd to attempt psychoanalytical techniques with a client whose
brain has been chemically disabled.

And he was a guy that was heavy into medications as well...

Have you had bad experiences with them?
Ive always thought of them as a kind of sideshow but you seem to think they
are kind of central.Maybe its an american thing..
I can write computer viruses, although I have yet to make one, and no plans,
except maybe for my own personal experimentation, basically to prove that I
can do something, I can fix/replace hardware that screws up, I can tell you
when that computer is likely a paperweight. But, I encounter new problems
all the time, and have to guess on how to fix it, because I don't
necessarily know what's wrong. and there are many times when it is the
operating system, (windows) that is the problem.
here, we'll set up an analogy using a computer.
Bios is the basic functions.
hardware your body, processor your brain.
Windows is you, (whether you believe in a soul or not, it is still
essentially you)
you turn on power (wake up), bios checks and makes sure everything is there,
checks for anything new, initializes hardware, makes sure everything is
working, finds a bootable drive, loads windows(fully awaken), windows loads
everything it needs right now (remembering who you are, etc... remembering
previous things, especially the night before), but one of the programs
(thoughts, emotions, etc.) crash, leaving a faulty code in memory, which can
cause more problems later. another program crashes due to that error,
creating more errors, and locking up more memory not allowing other programs
to access that memory. it leads to a cascade (depression, for example) which
can trigger a program that looks for errors (there is something in the brain
for that, has to be) and stops other programs from executing.
may be hard to believe, but nothing was wrong with windows. a problem with
the processor, a simple transistor (neuron) positioned wrong, sending out
incorrect messages (chemicals), other transistors, circuits receive those
messages, and act on them, not knowing they are wrong, which eventually can
lead to serious problems with the program (maybe a thought, or feeling that
should not be), causing it to crash, and taking windows down with it. those
protection programs can catch those errors, and cease that programs
functioning, but if it isn't loaded (working properly) it can't catch
errors, allowing problems to run rampant (bringing you down if you have
depression, for example)
if there is a problem with a processor, you usually just replace it, can't
do that with the brain. you have to work on it, fixing that 'transistor' but
since we can't do that yet, have to correct the messages that it sends out.
A patch (drugs) to windows and/or the programs can compensate for that
error, allowing the programs to function without errors, or at least fewer
errors, and quite likely less severe errors. Yes there are side effects.
patch windows or a program, and it can cause other problems (side effects)
but unless those problems are bad, it is generally worth patching. but you
have to get the right patch (right drug) because one for a problem with a
different transistor (anxiety, for example) probably won't work for the
transistor out of place here (depression for example) but then again, it
might. maybe those 2 transistors are connected, so that it doesn't matter
which is messed up, the error is still sent out to the same place. so that
multiple patches(drugs), that react differently, still can affect the
problem.
I tried to make that make sense.

"correct" balance is a myth? perfect balance? there is no perfect
balance, there are many different ones, but if everyone that has
schizophrenia has the exact same areas with increased blood flow, and the
same other areas with less, and people who don't have it, have much much
closer to the average for those areas, then 'something' is odd. what is
triggering that blood flow, the blood flow, or what is causing it, could
very well be causing, or at least affecting the schizophrenia somehow.
people with depression generally have different levels of serotonin than the
average for everyone else.
Yes, each person's brain is going to be different
but each persons heart is almost always on the left side, right? almost
every person has 5 fingers on each hand, and 5 toes on each foot, right?
most have 2 feet, and 2 legs, and 2 eyes, 2 hands, 2 arms, 1 nose, 1 mouth,
2 ears, hair on top of the head,
that, and it's positions, are decided by genes. your eyes are not on the
back of your head, right? that's because genes dictate it should be on the
front, that you should have an ear on each side of your head, generally in
the same place for each person. Yes there are slightly different positions
for them to be in, but they are generally in the same place. Internal organs
are generally in the same place. your intestines are not in your leg,
right? nor your head? spinal cord goes down your back. if anything is
positioned differently, you couldn't function the same, if you could
function at all.
for a number of women, cells from the uterus attach themselves to other
parts of the body, and react the same way, causing cramps, pain, etc...
is talking going to fix any of those problems, or correct the positioning of
organs? No.
will drugs? for some things, yes, for others, they require surgery.

chemically disabled? increasing serotonin levels is disabling a brain? so
lowering would be too? so, according to what your saying, and what I am i
nferring here, your saying someone with depression has a brain chemically
disabled.....
so drugs would be needed to get the brain closer to a chemical balance. if
the brain is not chemically balanced, it is unable to function properly.
Yes, that balance can very well be different for different people, but there
HAS to be a balance. you can't have 5 times or 1/4 the serotonin levels than
most other people and not expect 'something' to be different.

odd, many poor have more morals than many of the rich. I know that isn't
exactly what you meant, but it's still a fact.
Here's something else. The artists, (music, painting, etc...) are able to
make tons of money, but at least some of that inspiration comes from mania,
depression, etc.. and they take drugs to ease it. Yes, they take illegal
drugs, many do overdose, at some point, but if they are getting 'moral
treatments' it obviously isn't working.
'physical treatments' do make many people feel better, and allow them to
function.
yes there are those that are given the wrong drugs, and/or misdiagnosed,
because their doctors are uninformed of newer drugs, newer findings, etc..
others are denied certain drugs because their insurance won't cover it, but
there are a few doctors who don't give a damn.
That cannot be helped, though. there are people like that everywhere.

maybe equal, maybe not. but NOT greater, it is possible that due to the
way I was treated in school, ignored most everyone, at least partially
aloof, (hey, a capricorn is supposed to be aloof) did not help, crying over
petty things when younger. about the only times that I don't remember
crying over little things was from 7th to 12th grades, but that also was the
time I was ignoring most everyone, determined to be aloof, so as not to give
them any ammunition. but it catches up, eventually. but what caused me to
react that way in the first place? what caused, and causes the feeling down,
crying over little or no real reason. a song says something, and can't help
but start crying.
usually, I can hide it when I'm around people, of course, then I've got my
mind focused on something, just like I do now. I have felt down since I got
off of the phone with my gf, and this is giving me something to do.
now that I think about it, there were things that did set me off during that
time. so I have dealt with it all this time. recently it is much worse,
though.

many of the things I've said are theories that have been around, just not
accepted before, and not heard of by many people, it was only chance that I
heard of it myself, and I do see how it is possible for viruses, bacteria,
prions (protein) to all cause diseases, that is currently thought to be
caused by the immune system suddenly attacking itself, or cancer, etc...
maybe a bacteria is disguising itself as an insulin cell, and immune system
suddenly realizes there are bacteria there, attacks the the bacteria in
insulin clothing.
and the true insulin cells

burning spread it apparently? hmmm, I would believe that the prion(protein
pathogens) would be destroyed by intense heat (although cooking does not)
or even if it did get into the air, and survive, would the lungs take it in,
spread it to the blood, and subsequently to the brain? I wouldn't really
think it likely that a person would get enough that way, since it takes a
high dose to cross the species barrier, even if the protein is absorbed by
the lungs, even if it is not damaged by the heat.
scrapee, 'mad cow', cjb and cjb caused by 'mad cow', are all proteins. they
cause 'holes' to form in the brain. it is possible that other proteins
can cause other types of diseases, possibly ones currently thought to be
caused by gene defects, or poor health, that just might make a person more
susceptible.
but besides that, it takes quite a bit of the prion to cross the species
barrier, although, to infect another cow, it takes less than a teaspoon of
infected cow brain to kill that cow. and prions remain virulent even when
buried for many years.

I am not currently on any meds. and i haven't. but I do believe I need
something. but I have to wait for the insurance to change, (new plan takes
affect july 1) because no doctors are nearby accepting the old plan. and I
have no way to get there.
besides, probably have more prove that I have depression by then, anyways.
if they are not prescribed the correct drugs for their condition, not warned
of side effects, not reporting side effects, not given the correct dosage.
they can have serious problems.

Back in the 1880s, before tuberculosis had a known cause, experts attributed
it to a combination of risk factors-things like depression, bad ventilation,
insufficient food and "family predisposition." One standard textbook noted
expansively that "the idea of infection being a cause... still prevails in
the South of Europe."
FAST-FORWARD TO the 1980s, and you hear similar accounts of peptic ulcers.
The highly touted risk factors were stress, smoking, alcohol and, of course,
"genetic predisposition." Never mind that an Australian researcher named
Barry Marshall was successfully giving himself ulcers by swilling beakers of
bacteria-and curing them with antibiotics. The textbooks didn't even mention
his work.
We now know that TB and ulcers are infectious conditions, caused by specific
microbes and treatable with antimicrobial drugs. Yet we're still laboring to
explain most of our leading scourges-cancer, heart disease, mental illness,
Alzheimer's-with long lists of risk factors. In a compelling new book titled
"Plague Time" (282 pages. Free Press. $25), Amherst College biologist Paul
Ewald argues that we're missing an obvious lesson here. Roughly translated:
It's the germs, stupid. Though genes and lifestyle are no doubt important,
Ewald says, the primary causes of today's "slow-burning plagues" are
parasites-viruses, bacteria and other infectious microbes-whose long-term
effects we have simply failed to recognize.
sound familiar? I could send you the rest, but I don't want to make this
any longer than it already is.
so someone who is bipolar should not be on medication???
someone who is bipolar is more likely to commit suicide. that change from
mania to depression is too much for most to handle.
if they shouldn't be on medication, what do they need? what is going to
stop them from committing suicide? it doesn't matter if they have someone
who truly loves them, it doesn't matter if they have people they can talk
to. it still happens. a shrink isn't going to help by getting them to talk.
depression hits, suicide is more likely than with someone who just has
depression. and I believe it is worse for a rapid cycler.
explain your point of view.

maybe that is true, but you seem to me to be arrogant in your point of view.
I am willing to change mine, I have. I will be the first to tell you I don't
know everything, and never will. no matter how much I want to know
everything.
It's rather dishonest to imply that the carcasses in question are linked
with the BSE problem when in fact they're as a result of the foot & mouth
outbreak. You know perfectly well that they're entirely separate things,
nothing to do with the BSE/CJD stuff mentioned in the bit you quoted.
Just thought I should point out the misleading nature of your post for
the benefit of our international readers.
Chris.
it is not in the bodies best interests (or minds) to want, or even consider
suicide, but yet when someone is depressed that is likely to occur
(considering it)
but it can be in the virus and bacteria's best interests to trigger those
types of things.
I think I have heard of Borna being linked with it, but I did not know of
lyme disease.... I need to be looking into that more, then. considering
where I live.
I HATE TICKS.
there was a story a while back on msn news (at least on the website, I saved
the article) titled "The Real Hot Zone"
and I recently saw again on one of the stations (think it was pbs) about
them finding a specific virus in Breast Cancer. before, they thought it was
relatively harmless, but they found it every time they checked. if it was
malignant, it had the virus within it.

I think you might find that many genetic deviations are supressed by doctors
and families.
I was thinking more of Lithium salts.
amphetamines and SSRIs flood parts of the brain with chemical messagers
and it could be argued enhance brain functions..The longterm effects are
unknown for SSRIs
which is why I simply argue informed consent is needed in adults and they
are totally innapropriate for infants and children.
Are you arguing that huge numbers of children are being born with a genetic
disorder that requires drugging for life?

Depression is disabling without a doubt and antidepressants can enable a
grieving person to function
but they cannot "cure" the loss of a loved one ,job,social role etc.
Given the crudity of diagnosis I dont see what level of confidence could be
given to the crucial distintion between reactive and endogenous depression.

It doesnt mean its not working becsause the client doesnt feel better. Many
people are totally misinformed as to the
goals of psychanalysis(unsuitable for major psychosis before Im jumped on!)
The goal according to Freud was to turn neurotic misery into common or
garden unhappiness.

Without a doubt..once they can function however they should leave the toxic
environment, if possible,that contributed to the
psychogical breakdown.
The historical origin is that rich patients were sent on world cruises or to
a spa town and the poor were chained to walls.

No the heat kills the foot and mouth virus but not the CJD apparently
I dont think the politicians even thought too hard about the number that may
have had mad cow disease in the panic and mass hysteria about the loss of
money the foot and mouth was causing.
Whole unreplaceable breeds of perfectly healthy animals are being wiped out
The bulk are heathy and there seems no viable arrangements to dispose of the

some are beginning to simply starve to death awaiting slaughter.
The feed suppliers are starting to be accused of spreading it.
IMHO We may well find that the effects of this "cure" will be far worse than
the disease.
I repeat..scandalous that it should come down to money.
Absolutely..Ive just finished a book called "the coming plague" which shows
that the dreadful conditions in poor countries are hitting the west..The

No..except when my mother spiked me with Attivan before my fathers funeral.

I went to great deal of trouble to explain all that when I arrived at this
group.
You can look it up in google if you wish. The last time I did here I was
mocked jeered at
told that the murder of my best friend was just "shit rolling down hill"
Iwas told I was Andrew, a supertroll that trained people to haunt mental
health groups and incite suicide..all kinds of crazy stuff..so you will have
to excuse me if I am a little reticent."scientologist" is tame in
comparison.
I studied the sociology of psychiatry and graduated in Sociology and
Advanced and Abnormal Clinical Psychology.
For my Masters I was doing participant observation but slipped my cultural
collar and worked actively for pychiatric reform
and better conditions and opportunities for psychiatric patients and attempt
ed to combat the negative stereotyping that so blights the career
opportunities and rehabillitation of ex patients.
For many years I worked at assisting patients to find jobs and accomodation
and helped organise self-help groups in the real world.
I dont think there is any kind of mental patient I have not had personal
relationships with ..even the ones where the "experts " say it is
impossible.And I mean every type.
I have found that if you treat people like human beings they get a chance to
behave like one.
Im afraid that will have to do for now.

Really sounds like a "mental" illness huh
of course but it must be hard to know where the illness stops and drug side
effects start if you have had so many.
What did they do at the research program?Apart from collecting data for
their thesis that is?
I read your posts about your hospital experience and it sounded ghastly.
Thats why I find it hard to understand you supporting such practices now.

Its up to you whether you respond genuinely,ignore it or carry on being
abusive.
Id be pretty hostile after such a trauma if I thought some
johnny-come-lately was wandering in preaching about something they know
nothing about.

The apparently unquestioning acceptance of the above details, tenuous though
they are, seems somewhat at odds with the past several weeks' worth of
berating people on this newsgroup who support the somewhat more compelling
evidence that depression is the primary symptom of a treatable medical
condition because it can't be conclusively proven at this stage. I don't
quite see the logic in giving your own beliefs the benefit of the doubt
but rubbishing everyone else's. Now I would ask that you give others the
same slack that you're expecting yourself before you lose all credibility.
Chris.

First off, I wish to truly thank both Bob & fpoole98 for the best
post I've read on usenet - exceedingly good! Whew!
This is some of the best support I've seen - ever!
Speaks fucking VOLUMES about more than the subject you were on.
Sharing like that is true goodness! It causes both your human
natures to shine right on through the crud the other pukes have been
heaving up chunks of. I appreciate it MUCH - thanks!
For one, it totally blows away the stupid shit posted by names in
the subject line, causing the biggest slam\flame I've seen in usenet
history, just by default of it's contrast. Way to go guys!!!
Bob, I will say you are one evil punk, but you do bow to
intelligence, so you're not all bad. You do, after all, have SOME
redeeming qualities. Evil you say? Yup. Why? Because you
seek to align yourself with the worst of the worst, & toss off the
truly suffering - THE REASON THE GROUP WAS CREATED.
You can play dumb all you want, but everyone knows you know better.
Get real, & quit skirting the bottom line - this is a support group
for bp'rs & immediate relatives - PERIOD.
Bob, I see you're still saying the quote "What doesn't kill me
makes me stronger". This simply isn't always true & is very
misleading - I wish you'd stop saying it. For example, if you were
forced to watch really terrible (unmentionable) things happening on a
monitor all day long, I ASSURE YOU, at the end of the day, you
wouldn't be stronger. Maybe the tiniest iota of your resolve would be
stronger, but all in all, your total for the day would be disastrous &
EXTREMELY debilitating.
The pukes in the subject line, however, do not possess redeeming
qualities - they are just evil trash - the lowest form too, & they
know it too - don't think they don't. Everyone has working gyroscopes.
It's black & white as black & white gets, oh yea of foolery.
Oafie, if netscum is an actual ISP, boy they sure named it
correctly. Netscum proly' means something else in your language,
something "proper" over there on your blonde sex perversion island.
Do you guys do anything over there besides screw kids & make canned
ham? You should really get out more. Just to piss you off for coming
here with your lil' pinched loaf-brain, I want you to know I've sent
your lil' "VOTE YES ON SCI.LANG.SCANDINAVIAN!!!" effort to as many
"areas" I can think of, extolling your essence, imploring *all* to
vote a big NO to your cause. :) I invite ALL to do the same - spread
it around in your work place, on other newsgroups, etc - make sure
it's a big NO. What was your infamous '96 date you were begging us to
ask you about? The first suicide you "accomplished by proxy? Probably,
you punk-ass scum. You are bad to the core. You have no idea, really,
but you will see when you meet your maker, then you'll realize what
your chances were, clear as a bell.
Rev - you're just too much of a pussy to comment on.
Boy, you named your pussy group right on target - meow.
Bunch of pussies, no doubt. Wimp punks in rl - no brain shit stains.
Nearbrainless - you are slime, pure & simple. I caught your lil'
cross posted message from your music group, imploring some
troll to stay away from your group, & the reasons, etc, so I KNOW
beyond any doubt you LIKE it to be nice in certain areas YOU wish
to enjoy hope in, therefore this makes you extra slimy & evil for
doing the same fucking thing here, in a mental illness support group.
God, what I wouldn't give to shower all your fellow employees & boss's
with the truth of your extreme cruelty by association & some of your
words. Btw, are you a nurses aide or an LPN? hee hee, see if you were
an RN, you wouldn't've said you were in nursing. LPN's & aides ALWAYS
like to boast they're "in nursing" (like professors demand to be
called Dr's) Think karma. Think eternal. Forever is a long time. Think
bad things. Think "what if he's right". Do you really, REALLY think
you know how to shudder? Truly? Think left hand. Think uh oh.
And punk boy who's too lame & stupid to live anywhere but the Y,
you are *exactly the opposite* of what you say everyone else is, as
you PROVE by the pics you post (among other things). Christ, you're a
moron - you best pray to the autonomic nervous sys god before you go
to sleep at night, lest you be smart enough to breathe air to keep you
alive, OBVIOUSLY. And to think you were a teacher once - good thing
they caught on. {|{|{shaking off entire body tremor}|}|} Andie, you
are the worst of the worst - the kind (like your bud nearbrainless)
that are by-product environmental issue victim types of those large
robot producing cities who inevitably slip through the cracks of
humanity by being big city factory seconds - mistakes. (it's not your
"bad" English, regardless of your excuses\reasonings).
If you weren't a child abuser YOURSELF, you would have your kid...duh.
You evil ones (see subj) should really take notes on this thread I
commented on, & allow it to sink in. Intelligence romps your ass's.
Your exceedingly STUPID words - Christ, get a life, grow a brain.
(to you that means more than two brain cells).
Bob & fpoole98 mercilessly SLAUGHTERED your shit drivel to pieces,
just by it's sheer intelligence - something you lil' I.T. twits know
nothing of (too busy getting your Billy Boy certs, huh). Btw, just WTF
is it with you morons carrying your lil' telephones (syndrome) around,
like they're guns on a holster, acting so "big" & important???
You do realize, I hope, as soon as you walk by, everyone quickly
reaches for their barf bags. I know, that's why you're here, you're
just seeking a place to vent from being so fucking worthless & having
no job satisfaction. Ya, it does suck being an IT dweeb, we know.
You are the least respected of the industry - everyone hates you.
Your arrogance is so sickening, but hey, you asked for it, you got it,
Toyota...Whatcha' gonna do when networks are self-sustaining, hmm?
Ooops...dum dum dum, another one bites the dust, da da dum dum dum.
I had a dream about "all of this" last night, which for one is weird
because I rarely ever remember any dreams, but I believe it was
because of the "scary" ending. Remembering dreams is a fleeting
affair, but I'll try to recount some of it. In my dream, somehow
I had the money & power to have all you turds rounded up
& caged into one area & there were cameras on your cage.
You were all sitting there, having been stripped & put into
big adult baby diapers, sucking on your big baby sucker rings.
(forgot what you call them - they're on the end of baby bottles).
You were all so pitiful looking sitting there, wondering why
you were placed there, & you kept crying like babies, but as I walked
into the room, you all immediately knew who I was & started acting
like you do here, saying the same shit. I got a real kick out of
walking up to your cage & taking turns bitch slapping each of you
back into your baby submission position, with your bottles instantly
materializing back into your mouths. Seems all it took was a lil'
bitch slapping to put you back into your places...hmm - never did know
what to make of dreams.
But it was a fun dream, until later. Later I looked through a window
& outside it was dark & we were in some scary looking yard, like
some old country cemetery (w\o any graves) surrounded by an ancient
looking wrought-iron fence of exquisite design. Very, very old
looking, even several centuries old. It must not' ve been in the US.
Just outside this fence was a totally scary, menacing wolf type
creature. I could barely make out it's form, but it was sitting there
like a statue, staring at the whole scene. I wouldn't even have
noticed it, had it not been for it's eyes. There was a triangle shaped
deep yellowish\dark red hue about it's face, encompassing it's
eyes,nose\mouth area, forming a triangle, emanating
this glow from it's face. I locked onto it's face & saw what it was.
Man, it sent shivers up my spine, it was so scary looking.
I could plainly see it was focusing on the cage & it's inhabitants,
I felt afraid for them, cos' I didn't have a key to let them out.
For some reason, I tried to shoo this creature away, but it didn't
work, rather, it got up & walked to the gate, pushing it open with an
invisible force, & just leapt right into the room we were in. I was
horrified & started running like hell, but right before leaving the
room I turned my head & saw that it wasn't after me at all, but rather
the victims in the cage. This "wolf" had just "floated" up into the
air to the top of the cage & it lifted open, allowing the wolf to drop
down inside with them. Then I started hearing the most horrible
sounds, so I shot out the door & slammed it shut - big steel bank
vault looking door.
Inside this new room I was in, was a huge monitor showing the
camera angle in the cage room. The sound was coming through
the speakers of the monitor too, & it was bad, bad, bad.
I heard the gnashing of teeth being ground together, & totally horrid
screams that were inhuman, ghostly like - totally shrilling, then
as I briefly looked at the monitor again, I saw the camera lens
being totally splattered with blood, like coming from a fire hose.
I jerked myself up in bed, physically waking up, totally shaken.
I then just got up & made some coffee & pondered this dream.
I thought gee, even though these insidious slimes spent all their
time coming to a mental illness newsgroup to taunt suffering
people, they certainly didn't deserve punishment of this type.
Then suddenly, I was back in some other room I'd never seen before,
in front of a wall of monitors, & I was sitting at this table with my
same cup of coffee. A ghostly figure that look like the Death guy with
the sickle, only he had the appearance of being a white mist shape
that I could see through, & he didn't have a sickle like the regular
dark black Death guy does.
He spoke like the guy in Starwars who Yoda was taught by.
He had a very calm & warm sounding voice, like he was God or
something.
The views on the monitors were changing rapidly & he was narrating
as he changed the views on the screens. He said these were the lives
of the people in the cages & for some reason I was privy to watch
as their lives unfolded before me. He said the pure evil they
committed by stalking\hunting mental illness patients on this
newsgroup had caused their karma to be unbelievably bad on both them &
their immediate families for the next 7 generations (I thought "Shit,
that's fucking BAD").
Then George Burns walks in, smoking his big cigar, KNOWING my thoughts
I just had, & he says, "It's just like in the movies kid, this is the
way it is. I want you to do something for me. I want you to go back
to your world & when you wake up I want you to get back on that
newsgroup where the atrocities are going on, & I want you to tell
them I have something very special & particular & quite eternal
waiting for them when they come to see me. Tell them this is their
last chance to turn their lives around & quit being the opposite of
what they were placed there to be. Tell them if they don't, there will
be no excuse - nadda." Those were his exact words too, verbatim.
The next thing I remember is sitting here, in RL typing this message.
So all there is left to do is click on send, then I'm back outta
here, back to my work at hand - argh, 12-14 hr days of solid work.
Whoa, this is really trippy, as I'm fully awake right now, but I just
got another flash from George. He just told me to tell you
"particulars" that if you do not believe any of this, to watch
your left hands over the next 30 days & by the next full moon, an
unmistakable white shape will appear - boink, poof, he left.
Hmm, wonder what shape he meant, or where on your hand - front
or back...Guess you'll just have to notice for yourselves, huh.
I'll check back in 30 days to see your reports - fuck, who knows,
I could be dreaming (still), or just psychotic, or maybe, just maybe
it happened. Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.
c ya in 30.
course' you could email me if it happens sooner.
Zero1
Ps: Whoops, you know how dreams are - just remembered another
piece. I had a long talk with George about homos. I told him the
reason I left the newsgroup in the first place was because of 2 or 3
queers (he stopped me right there & told me that queer means odd, &
that it's not "their" word, their word is homo or homosexual) were
in here recruiting, & being just generally faggy, ya know, like they
only they know how to "be".
He told me perversion is perversion, regardless. He said that
orgasms were records (most even screaming out his name as they happen,
"Oh God YES!!!") being imprinted on our souls that we ALL would answer
for when the time came & that ANY & ALL that occurred WITHOUT the
expressed purpose of making a child, were perverted & would be dealt
with accordingly.
I asked him why he gave us the ability to have an orgasm then,
& he replied that it was imprinted in us for survival of the species,
to evolve with, as we were way too stupid to even reproduce back when
we were first put here. He said by the time humans evolved enough
to know how to reproduce w\o them, we SHOULD'VE realized by then
that was their SOLE purpose - his gift to us to celebrate the life we
were creating - a sort of toast "as it happened."
He said to bicker about perversions between whose was worse was
sheer lunacy & a total waste of our precious time here, & to just make
the best of it & avoid them at ALL costs, when possible. He did say
that to want to create life, when we felt like we were near death
(especially emotional & mortal feeling) was "normal" though, & as so,
caused those particular influenced orgasms to be of good enough intent
to be OK with him & Ma. That's right, there's TWO of'm (didn't see her
though). I asked about that & he said, Well, duh...what do you think
"created in God's image means exactly, dipshit."
I asked him why fags existed & he scolded me & told me not to
call them fags (either), that THAT word also meant something else
& wasn't "theirs" either. He said homosexual or homo for short
was ALL they were to be called.
So then I kept on asking why they exist & he repeated, "It's just
like my "Oh God" movies you watched, kid". You can't have up w\o
down, in w\o out, over here w\o over there, good w\o bad, etc.
He said all this is eternal, & since eternity is forever, it
grows from a tiny thing to an endless thing, & along the way
we go through stages, or doors, until we succeed & earn the
passage to the next one.
He said to not treat the homos badly, cos they were his children
JUST LIKE everyone else is, but also adding that they were needed on
this plane of existence in order for everyone to learn. He added that
eventually,on other planes, there would be no more TAO structured
life, but much, MUCH different living. He said he & ma are the word
LOVE, & that where ever love was, they were, & that homos really
do realize this. He did say they were born to be homo, for his & ma's
reasons for this plane of existence.
I asked him to help me with my homophobia, since I truly believe
they're freaks of nature & totally unnatural pieces of poop. He asked
if I was afraid of homos, & I said, "Hell no", then he told me not to
call myself a homophobe, since that's what it means. He also said
he enjoys knowing they don't like being called homos. He said it
was a motivation thing for them.
He also said nothing was free - ever, & that's the price they "paid"
for being made (usually) so gifted with intelligence. He said we'd
understand more fully at some point.
He used the F word too (even). He said (as he was shooing me back
home), "Remember kid, if I wait until you die to judge you, who the
fuck do you think you (mankind) are to try & do my job BEFORE any of
you pass on, hmmm?"
I then asked, "But why God, but why?"
He just looked at me, scrunched up his for head, gave me a thump
(ouch) & walked away laughing, looking over his shoulder & said,
"Don't ask why kid, get a good joint to smoke & ask for a Bud Dry."
Brought to you by zeros & ones, & my dream factory.
Peace & proper balance to all.
Toodles.

====================
you are the true fucked up one. go smoke some more cannabis, sniff some more
cocaine, burn some more crack, shoot up some more heroine,
You fucked up dumbass
A normal person is "fucked up" for NOT LISTENING TO A DERANGED fucked in the
head MENTAL CASE? :)
What planet you from?
What mental hospital you escape? :)
============ besides your usual "psycho. drugs" - do the rest of the shit
you do, that you feel the need to mention below, MENTAL CASE, piece of shit!
2. there is no 'normal' person, but if there was, you sure as hell would not
be him.
your not denying, so you must be doing them. so, how does the cannabis
taste? another question is it marijuana, or something else? or maybe a
combination of many? does the crack smell good? heroine feel good?
which one, or is it all of them, that you are taking?

If you haven't been hospitalized yet... that is good!
What is the name of your psychiatrist?
Perhaps his/her staff might wish to see your postings.
The name/address please.
Also, please give me your name as well.
I do have <fpoo...@bellsouth.net> this is all I need actually, but it
would be faster if you gave me the information.
COMPLY!
I don't have a psych, but you sure as hell need one.
think that email is going to get you anywhere? LMAO
you do not read everything clearly. you read what you want to read. and
that's all.
you don't care about the truth. you don't care about what anyone tells you.
You only care about yourself. your thoughts, your opinions are all that
matter to you.
I hope they keep you nice and warm.
that would be the only warmth you'd have in that blackness that is your
heart.
I have a question for you.

Lots of people who have been persuaded or persuaded themselves that their
life is ruined and over
find it very empowering; rape victims, torture victims,secondary murder
victims etc.

I and many others have been forced to watch and experience real terror and

Effective depends on the goal but the long term effects are unknown and
SSRIs
had one of the shortest safety trials in pharmaceutical history.

a)from experience of the effects and personality changes engendered in

and others.I have seen heathy young people turned into invalids before their
time with all quality
of life gone in the name of an unspoken social control
b)Decades of study of the origins and treatment rationales.
they are not weird or particularly unusual as you know full well.
Have you ever heard of Emil Kraepelin?
And what exactly is "Largactil" Bob? I never heard of that before.
I think the call it Thorazine in the US
Young people are also given Haldol,Melleril,and even paraldehyde in some
cases
and it is barbaric and wrong(IMNSHO)

In their effects they seem just like a legal amphetamine which you have and
prescribe in the states.
To me, it is really bizarre that kids are asked to say no to speed in the
UK
but parents are forced to allow their children to have them in the States.
I am pretty sure there is a Prozac psychosis not unsimilar to the wellknown
amphetamine psychosis

Are you saying that some process has started to go on that would have

No I am not actively suicidal. Thanks for the concern if it is genuine
I went to ADSM originally whilst you were in hospital,I think.
As outrageous as you will find this Andrew was originally the only peron who
gave me support
rather than abuse and insane accusations.I realise now that there are other
supportive people there
but the only ones originally who cared if I lived or died were the socalled
"bad" people.

No I have intermittent touches of PTSD but ironically all the torture

HEY ERIC? DID YOU HAVE AN ESP. BIG HAIRY HOG YOU LIKED TO FUCK?
He probably would have if he went on SSRIs.....
do you think they cause the illness they are used to treat?
Not "what *I* think". that counts ... side effects, are "there".
ALWAYS it appears...
The drugs produce mental disturbances of their own, which cause other
"symptomologies", then drugs for that... on goes the "cycle".....
of treating the "treatment", etc..
Rather interesting to read of the "treatment" BEING THE DESEASE... Japan had
an interesting "epidemic"... rather famous... Later on the government agreed
to "release" the US drug company from any liability... Interesting...

No half-pint here, oh yea of extreme pussyness meow.
What is it you pussies do? Oh ya, spank spank...
Christ, you're such losers. Just sissyfied punks.
Here rev, have some BITCH slaps!
Wap, wap, WAP!!
That's it, on your knees crying like the fool pussy you are,

Ya, you sure are the imperial pussy - named yourself quite

Noticed you punks weren't around yesterday - hypocrites.
Oh, I just noticed your crebral subj line. How clever.
Spend a lot of time coming up with that one, amoeba boy?
Just humiliated the fuck outta me.....not.
but for others, there are no side effects.
same with any drug. just because a drug has many side effects doesn't mean
each and every person is going to get a certain side effect, or any side
effect at all.
It is only a possibility. IF, the drugs cause side effects, and the doctor
diagnoses that side effect as some other disorder, then that doctor is a
quack. you cannot say that just because one doctor does something stupid
like that, that all do that, you cannot say that just because one drug
causes something, that all cause it.
If they are carefully controlled, the chances of a problem is less likely.
here is something for you to consider. some people have very serious 'side
effects' (allergies) to peanuts. A few can't even touch peanut oil, not even
a drop of it, without a very serious reaction, possibly death, occurring. So
peanuts cause disease and should not be eaten by anyone?
Iron pills can cause upset stomach, and possibly intestinal damage. Because
of that, anyone who is anemic should not take them? they should die of iron
deficiency just because a few people have serious side effects to their use?

I havent said dealing with issues was a way out of major depression. Often
if not always severely depressed people need someone to take care of their
pressing issues for them,whilst they heal.
I have often been that person. Dont lecture me on major depression when you
admit you have no experience of it!

Many people become invalids to gain pensions and financial benefits only to

experienced
and documented side-effects kick in.

That is a question you should ,perhaps, give serious consideration to,
instead of thinking you know everything!
There are none besides medications.
Do you really think the billions of people who preceded you on this planet
never had serious depressions?
Well, there is ECT too.
It was invented in Mussilinis Italy by Cerletti who noticed in a
slaughterhouse,pigs who were stunned
went willingly to their deaths.
It too is drastic and controversial and in my opinion a barbarism that
future generations will shudder at.
Even so some people feel it has given them a new lease of life or saved
loved ones.

They make patients more manageable..they cant possibly improve the quality

It might appear so with the words you put in my mouth.
What class do you consider Ritalin?
It is a halfway house between amphetamine and LSD-25 and contrary to common
belikef is not new at all but was extensively used in the sixties , as was
LSD-25

You mean the experts?
The people who have spent their professional lives devoted to the subject?
What kind of logic dictates that if someone is an expert witness
his view is disqualified if you dont agree with it?

People on prozac become loud agressive pushy and full of a false chemically
induced
self-confidence
Just as speedfreaks do.
Eventually they cant function without it.
short term usage to function is one thing.. years of it is quite another.

At first people dont ..who knows what the long term effects are

problem.

If you want to continue with a woeful ignorance of the causes of suicide

Its just as well that the Samaritans and Suicide Prevention Centres have a
different view.
As do most responsible psychiatrists,general practioners,nurses and
therapists.

Once again do you really think people were never suffering from depression

your birth and the advent of mindbenders .
Do you think they never came out the other side?

I can only advise you to deal with such feelings should they reoccur

Your groundless assertions are an insult to many suicidal people.
Would you have given Socrates medication? Or war heroes?
There are many types of suicide with differing motivagtions but you
have already said you have no interest or knowledge of the subject and
whats more wish none.

Im not sure what particular"disease" you are talking about but by the nature

many survivors know they have been empowered
and are unlikely to be disheartened by you.

*Control* by "out of *control* mental cases...
I detest the side effects of these medications and I have serious
reservations about the long term side effects of them. Such is
implications of taking them. Taking them is something that I think
most suffers struggle with, what I take issue with is when we have all
these contrary thoughts in our minds, I don't think it is fair to
have someone who doesn't fully comprehend the horror of depression to
come along and make a case for non compliance.
Come on Andrew, you do not truly believe that do you?
You think ssri's cause mental illness?
I certainly wouldnt take them . The they seem like a legal amphetamine with
the same problems and seem to be taken as such by some people with bad
consequences socially (stigma) as well as physical and mental problems.
Of couse Eric and others would argue that for major mental illness this is
better that sinking into torpor or becoming unable to function.
Im simply expaining what I meant by "fate and personality changes of
friends". Informed adults have the right to take whatever gets them through
the night.
the list of things they are being prescribed for seems to grow almost daily.
.I mean PMT? Thats the latest I heard of over here!
