I don't understand something: Why are negative thoughts linked to "anti-psychiatry"? The organizations I know of don't work for the abolotion of...
Just cruel: I think this shows the kernel of psychiatry as an institution. Wouldn't it be great if this was replaced by understanding, empathy...
I totally agree with you, @alktipping. I simply don't know what we can do, only combine our strengths and say out loud what's going on. So many...
Hi @NelliePledge, so you are not so positive about Pregablin, too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 150mg for neuropathic pain is...
I can just speak from my own impression and experience in my family. Here I see it as progressive. But I am not sure there is any research about...
This seems sad to me:
Thanks for pointing to this article. That's something I experienced, too, and therefore I can relate to it:
Thomas Szasz was a psychiatrist himself who wrote at the beginning excellent works about "his field". He himself, as I understood correctly,...
Fake science, real harm. I do want to avoid the real harm part. Therefore, one needs to understand their reasoning. If it leads to a circular...

For completeness, do you have something at hand, a link? I think taking everything that we have one could build a good argument against agencies,...
In the context of social law and criminal law, for instance, where psychiatric assessments - depending on the case - are almost normal. In the...
But it is very indicative: If a treatment doesn't help, the claimed underlying process is (most probably) not correct. I shall use this argument...
Well, I totally agree. There is no science. But people in positions with certain power over people (like assessors) see that differently; and I'd...
"Psychosomatic" explains everything :D really, that's how they use it (at least in my experience). I cannot tell where psychosomatic starts and...
Thank you @adambeyoncelowe and @Invisible Woman! Malic acid - this has nothing got to do with "apple acid" (vinegar stuff)?
Rethinking your post...So could the way be something like the following: The cause of ME is still unknown. Biomedical findings strongly suggest...
It'a not off-topic in my view, but very helpful. And you say it absolutely correctly, only that in Germany we're still at the "it's all in your...
Separate names with a comma.
