Are we really bi-polar?
    #19396591 - 01/09/14 11:44 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

It seems to me that just about everybody that goes into a mental hospital is told they are bi-polar and need to take certain meds for their disease. It seems like they are just slapping the same old label on everybody they treat even if there isn't a thing wrong with them, they just had a really bad fucking day and ended up getting thrown into a mental institution for various different reasons. They were irrational, they were too lively, they were a risk to themselves, etc

I just wonder how accurate these diagnosis really are and if there really is a disease that needs to be treated

Shitty psychiatrist just hear the words 'history of drug use/abuse' and immediately label you bi-polar. Its a good indication that you should keep shopping around for a competent doctor.

I totally agree with OP. It's the label they use for when they don't know exactly whats going on.  I got diagnosed bi-polar, but I don't buy it.  You have 1 nervous breakdown, yknow? :cookiemonster:

I'm bipolar. Never been diagnosed but by definition id agree.

That being said I think everyone technically is. It's a way to push medication pure and sinple.

There is a difference between the normal ups & down's that one has, and BPD. Is it overdiagnosed? Probably, but that doesn't mean that it's not a real disorder. BPD can be extremely debilitating. It's far more than being happy one day & sad the next. When you see a severe case, it's obvious that it's not a pill pushing strategy by the doctor, nor is it an overreaction by the patient. It's a serious disease.

I agree.

It comes along with psychosis, too.

I have bipolar disorder. When it hits me I don't get happy for one day and feel like shit the next.

Sometimes It's sudden and sharp. I go from normal, to overwhelming euphoria, to suicidal and back to normal in the span of a second. Fucks you up.

Are those like your symptoms, OP. Do you lose touch with reality?

Buncha nonsense. You'll find many scathing criticisms of the psychiatry industry.

Everyone has something that can be considered a mental illness.  Psychiatry is a sham.

You're better off trusting the healthcare professionals than your own theories or opinions on the internet.

The aim of treatment is to provide as little medication for as little time as possible to return one to previous normal functioning. It's not just to 'sell big pharma'.

Pretty much everyone slams psychiatry on the internet, but all the psychiatrists I've met have been very smart people. They wouldn't be easily fooled into a field that is baloney.

You've got to be especially careful when you're already mentally ill and you start reading conspiracy-like opinions about the treatment you're receiving.

I say just go to a good community clinic, trust them, get it out of the way. If you catch these illnesses early you can be quite lucky and live normally.

Ask them about their opinions about drug addiction if you want to find the most obvious road to bullshit.  You treat a patient as a model, not the human mind.

hahaha... no. it's not like cancer where they can operate and remove some
part that allows you to be normal again, if you have a mental illness,
it'll always be there and while being drugged can help some, it isnt that
much help for most
