I’ve had a terrible experience with psychiatrists. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten awful advice, had adverse results, only to find the consensus online would have told me better.

I now understand my particular meds better than most any psychiatrist. 

And we all know that “it depends on the person” so what are you doing anyway?

People come to doctors expecting results but good meds can take weeks if not months. So they prescribe something inappropriate just so the patient will be happy in the short term.

I just think it’s a terrible model. I’m grateful to pharma because without them I might not be here but as far as the lesser informed hate keepers go, I just don’t know.

And the stigma in medical schools doesn’t help. Maybe there is a reason for it?

I could go on...
