I have bipolar. I faithfully took my meds for more than a decade. I went from one med to another med...on and on for many years. They would work, then they wouldn't and eventually I was on many meds (like 6). The side effects were awful. I gained so much weight. I needed meds to be awake, to go to sleep, to be happy, to be stable and eventually I got ECT and I just stopped taking my meds and moved to NYC. I haven't taken them in 6 years. I lost a lot of weight and started working out. I wouldn't say I'm anti psychiatry but I really feel like it isn't a real science. They don't know what they're doing in a precise way. I studied applied math and I work as an engineer. For me so much of psychiatry is predicated on hope but has very little way to say medication X or Y will really help.

Psychiatry is how our society ignores it's problems. It gives you barely tested medications that blunder around in your extremely delicate brain chemistry in order to solve "your" problem with the fact that you are made to feel anxious and depressed and hyperstimulated by the garbage world our leaders have created without a single thought given towards what's actually good for a human being. Want to know why you're depressed or anxious or you can't concentrate? You're surrounded by strangers in a dirty and dangerous city, you have no purpose in life except generating profits for other people, and you're constantly bombarded with crap entertainment, manipilative advertising, and even more manipulative social media. You are estranged from your family, you are constantly fed terrifying lies, you live in a crumbling empire and if you talk about feeling bad people tell you that the way you think is wrong and you have to gaslight yourself into thinking that everything is good and has in fact never been better. I was depressed and anxious, and I still have trouble concentrating, but it's a lot easier to deal with now that I know what the problem is and I can create my own solutions. Much better than being put on drugs and told to lie to myself.

I grew up in a household that was very skeptical of the medical establishment in general. A mix of correct sentiments (like we Americans getting scammed in terms of healthcare costs) and misinformation/conspiracy theory. As a result I grew up believing vaccines were dangerous, psychiatric medicines only worked to pacify people and zombify them out of caring about their condition, and alternative medicine was where the real answers were. Some of this was understandable, my mom had a wealth of conditions that doctors struggled to treat, and the psychiatric medications they gave her were some of the roughest meds she took (like the tricyclic antidepressant Amitriptyline which had brutal side effects and seemingly permanent consequences on her) My experience as an adult, seeking therapy and psychiatric medication for my own issues has shown that while the broad strokes of my beliefs growing up, these beliefs form as a result of people being hurt by genuine flaws in the system and our methods. My personal experiences have been positive. Every therapist I've had has worked to build rapport and a deep understanding of my issues to help cooperatively build a plan. While I know not everyone has good experiences with therapy and there are bad eggs who try shit like conversation 'therapy', I'm of the opinion that psychotherapy is broadly in a better state than psychiatry. Medication has been much more difficult. As an addict who suffers from anxiety and ADHD, most psychiatrists seem disappointed in treating these conditions in the first place, usually recommending therapy and recovery programs. In times where I have found a doctor who genuinely tries to understand my situation and help, I've spent weeks or months giving a good faith attempt only to have mild or bad results. And I haven't even had particularly bad experiences with off label meds, a close friend had to deal with extended, brutal withdrawals from being prescribed Olanzapine off label for his anxiety. This isn't to mention the wealth of discrimination or how the state of insurance adds fuel to the fire. Being a doctor is hard and psychiatry is a budding industry, but when you're faced with all this and you don't even get a working solution at the end the distrust is understandable.

You can tell psychiatry as a science is a total sham based on the completely arbitrary nonsensical 'medical techniques' theyve come up with. Think about any other scientific discovery and their constancy, Hydrogen is always hydrogen, and the logical progression of the science is clear if you take the time to learn it. Psychiatry is just power trippers shoving ice picks into people's eyes, and then deciding shocking them is better, then deciding insulin shock is the one', then they decided that 100% devotion to ideologies of an old pervert named freud and pontificating in front of mentally ill people about it is better, and now pumping them full of various cocktails of drugs will fix them. There is zero logic here, its just a history of throwing shit at the wall and feeling like you don't need to consider the emotional state of the people you're subjecting these esoteric practices on because to you theyre 'damaged people', and any emitnal response they have to yuour mistreatment can be written off as a 'chemical imbalance'

i lost all trust in the industry of psychiatry after being taken to 'sad people jail' (as i call it) because I called a hotline to help me find a therapist, but apparently I said some of the 'forbidden words' according to psychiatry, and before I knew it several police officers were at my door where I was forced into an abulance (which they charged me $3000 for) taken into the hospital byy one of the police officers, was checked in, searched, made to get into a hospital gown, then dumped in a room (straight up like jail). I had to endure 8-9 hours in a hospital where not only did I receieve zero care, I was treated like a criminal by the psych nurses who kept screaming at everyybody and just treated us like we were absolute garbage, and the other patients I was with in this hospital/prison hallway were all in varying degrees of illness. A few like me where just having a hard time and were doing everything we could to not be imprisoned within the hospital and being unable to leave, people who were freshly bleeding from hurting themselves, and people who were in complete psychosis screaming, yelling, repeating the same phrases over and over, and (i didnt see this but was told) they would also sometimes smeer their shit all over the wall. After nine hours of waiting, I spoke to a doctor, who spoke with a cadence just like yours (not hating, but its the truth), and he spoke at me a list of generic questions and then said 'Ok, you can go home.' and that was it. Fucking awful experience. Im open minded about psychology in theory, but in practice its almost entirely wishy-washy quackery. As an example, can you or any other practicing or 'experimental' psychologist, tell me exactly how SSRI's work? No, you literally cannot. And I would say SSRI's are the foundation of modern psychiatry. So you guys don't even know how it works, but are so confident in saying its safe and 'benign,.' which was the exact word they told me, and Im willing to bet anyone taking SSRI's reading this was probably told the exact same word. And I cant even get started on psychiatry being wielded as a method of bureaucratizing egenics, via the institutionalisation of LGBT people, as well as black civil rights activists by diagnosing any group who was against the corporate/governmental hogemity as schizophrenic.

I went into the Dr’s office at 16 with a headache. Prozac had just come out. Instead of finding out why I had a headache (massive sinus infection that needed surgery), I had been given Prozac and told I was depressed. I started having suicidal ideation…they didn’t know that could happen to teens. It forever altered my brain. Until I got a minimalistic and holistic team, I had been a revolving door psych patient…medicating me often to toxicity. I have later been diagnosed as on the autism spectrum. I do well with small amounts of OCD and sleep medication, so I am not for anti psychiatry…I’m anti overmedicating people for normal emotions, and treating the actual underlying traumas.

I'm a 30 year old woman with ADHD (I was diagnosed several years ago), I have a previous diagnosis of agoraphobia, and a previous misdiagnosis of general anxiety disorder. I am currently using Adderall and have been for 3 years now, I've been on the same steady low dosage that entire time, I definitely feel that it helps me function better though like most medication is not without it's side-effects (like it increases my desire to smoke and I experience insomnia). In the past I've had Oxazepam to deal with my panic attacks related to the agoraphobia, it was helpful when I was having a lot of panic attacks in my early twenties, I don't have a prescription for it currently as panic attacks have become rare for me now. My opinion on psychiatric medication is that it can be a valuable tool when you are struggling, and especially so if there is a lack of a good social support structure in your life to help you with disruptions in your daily life. But I also think that you need to weigh the positives and negatives of every medication you start using, reading the leaflet that comes with the medication is important. If you have a long list of psychiatric medications I don't think that's a good thing, medications have interactions and can even be counterproductive or dangerous when combined. So I would say; use medication in an informed manner, consider their necessity and use them safely and sparingly if possible.

The fact that serotonin theory of depression was criticised since 1970 and it took the professional psychiatry field 50 years to finally say that "yeah it might not be right" is why we need an antipsychiatry movement.

I have difficulty believing this video isn't sponsored by Pfizer.

Medicate people so them act "normal" and productive for society... The problem with modern Psychiatrists is that a medication will never treat the real problem which is the insane world we leave in. Without a structural change we will always be 'producing' more mental illness then curing then, and no amount of panacea will suffice to shift the scales

Another idea. There should be 4 types of mental illness; things that hurt the self, things that hurt others, things that hurt both, and things that can hurt others, but can be consented to. The last catagory could bring back controversial political disorders only to give them control of their own micrronnations in liu of hospitalization, whille people who were undeniably dangerous got the care they. needed.

It is a very one sided evaluation of Dunning Kruger effect. Other (practical) points: 1. EVOLUTION Humanity would never start anything new without it. 2. SOCIOLOGY if one doesn't show off then she wouldn't let go near a new skill by the so called experts. 3. PSYCHOLOGY The persona have to cheat the self and the super-ego.

Your how to move forward is so apt. Thank you for making this.

I think a psychologist can get me interesteed in myself, but they can't help me. EEEvery gap in my school schedule, I have had access to home movies through iphone camera rolls and sketchbooks from elementary through college to study myself and draw conclusions. I keep them on my icloud accessible with my phone. I can't possibly communicate all I've learnred in a week to my psychologist in our 1 hour session, nor caan I justify it scientifically in that time, so I find my psychologisyt and psychiatrist constantly making mistakes I wouldn't make. Finding a new one maakes for aan even more unreasonaably large onload of information, so I now find myself without a psychologist and continuing to take the same medication provided by a PA. It's not just psychiatrists either, it's also academic advisors, financial. advisors, and as far as the workers in the craft store suggesting the right type of material for a slightly different projrect.

- I think the ppl that say Psychology has nothing to do woth the medical system is right, ppl That have schizophrenia only have schizophrenia because thier reation to thier shadow self os so fucked up that thier brain literly needs to nake them see and hear it bc it jas somthing to say to them and they keep ignoring it, may that be Vander about self harm it's bc deep down they hate themselvs, thays where that voice comes from. But they only hate them selvs bc they feel so ashamed of who they are bc of how theu grew up, the ppl that wer around them jad a jabbit of speeding shame on sparks of joy.

- so I just recently got into Psychotherapy, I've been trh9ng together in just to see a therapist for the past 6 years, at first the ppl I went to could only give 15 minute sessions, I had an $80 copay and it was about $600 on my insurance. I decided it was a waist of money all she wanted to do wS get me to talk about my mom. - Tried beyyer help, ever got aisencwd therioest, just weekly papers to do, they'll be toutch and gk when you first get matched but as the $800 you pay them every month stars to buld up, it goes from conversation to "oh sorry I jave tk camset appoiment today im on vacation in mexico" but then you never reaky hear from them again. - I tried canceling the layment but the cancel button dosnt even work, I couldent afford it again, I jad blowen out a tire and needed to fix damages (I live an hour outside of the town I work), got ahold of somebody, told them I canceled bc I didn't have the money and that it was unacceptable for them to charge me for therapy I wasn't getting, they didn't refund me either. I kond of gsve up at that point like "fuk it when my entertainment break hits I'm jjst gonna go on a violence spree till the camstop me, all or nothing letting her rip. - Then I had to go to Counseling for a work dispute, (somebody is making up lies about me sleeping at work but I'm an insomniac) so I got upst and they kept following me. Got a training theriowst and all she wanted to do was get me to pay for meds o some lavish therapy. Another thing comes up woth work, I need to give them my disblity paperwork (Adhd) bc the clocking system, whole thing not getting into it. They served me a P.I.P. with a disablity identfactuin paper, - Despite being diagnosed at birth my mother threw all that stuff away when she kicked me out of the House so I need to get re-diagnosed. My pip ended Jun 17th and I can't get in to see a doctor for my diagnoses till the 16th of July. - I've also been kverdosed on Adderall, in middle school, for 3 years I was takong 90mils. Like 30 too mich foe my age a d waight, idk if it's cuz my mom keeper upping the dosage or if the doctor was just selling it to her so I jave quite the anxiety disorder now. - And now we get to today, I was Abel to get a good recommendation for a Psychotherapist, I was starting to think ide need to hospitalized myself just to get seen, git it trying tl get an appoiment for my adhd diagnoses. - I've alsp been doing a massive religion/ magic/ Philosophy/ Psychology study as a self help attempt so I actuky know all about The philosopher's stone and eternity should the toxic shame from C-Ptsd.

A waste of time and money. You pay money to lay on sofa and talk for 30 min, and get some pills in the end. And nothing is fix nor improve.

They will ruin you for a dollar. Throw away any psych meds and be healthy

How pets evolved to keep humans? Obviously pets have more benefits from human than the other way around. Your question is human chauvinist.

My opinion before the video: My therapist now is great. I have complete freedom about what I want to work on and how, which is sometimes difficult, but def the best choice. The therapist I had as a child expected me to let myself mold into a 'normal' child. And misinterpreted like every behavior I showed. Also shared a bunch of their own private stuff. Now I know more about the reasons of my behavior and I can say that therapy back then did more harm than good. A friend of mine had a bad experience with a therapist lately, another did have a bad experience as a kid with a psychiatrist and I feel like there's a lack of supervision and we need an institution we can complain to without it being a difficult process, also years later.

My unbiased opinion on psychology and psychiatry is complicated. Psychiatry seems in a way more "legit" than phycology at first glance, being a medical science taught in medical school and all that. Also this might be because even if I've gone to several psychologists over the years, I've always felt deeply ignored and having my feelings and thoughts brushed off. It is a complicated issue I am unsure i can properly leave in a youtube comment.

For me, I tap out when I hear therapists talk about 'being vulnerable' or pronouns. Ideological capture makes psychology or any of those things woowoo, like chiropractors. Since most psych are left leaning people, they are more easily infected and so most of psych has a large amount of woke nonsense going on. So as a whole, the psych field is not fit for purpose.

I'm honestly pro-psychiatry, at least for my own personal life, because it works for and helps me. I have bipolar disorder, also autism, and my medication is a literal life saver. Last year I had a big maniac episode in spring (season where I always get sick), and spent weeks crying, unable to do anything, until it passed. This year my medication has been adjusted, and not only I get fewer and weaker mood swings, this year's spring had just some mood swings, stronger than the rest of the year, but much more manageable. I have even raised my anti psychotics sometimes myself, when I feel too maniac, and it helps me stop the symptoms and sleep better. Before I was medicated, I was a mess. It's not like that for many people, but for me, medication is good and necessary.

Its never enough to just talk about bad therapists - because we do know, there are more bad ones´s than good one´s out there. I´ve only met one real good one and that was about 3 decades before - what I´ve met after the good one was devastating - they are not worth your time, money and attention any longer. Most of them are really screwed up very much.

Everyone in these comments is anti-psychiatry EXCEPT for adhd meds. Of course the moat vehemently anti-psych med people will defend adderall with their lives 🤦‍♀️ And yes, I have adhd. Diagnosed lonnnggg before it was trendy.

There is a disturbing tradition of doctors taking the DSM and/or other medical manuals as infallible unquestionable holy idols and YOU WILL fit into a discrete diagnosis or you are making it up for attention and YOU WILL be "fixed" and made "normal" (whatever the doctor considers normal) and if the treatment is ineffective or you have been misdiagnosed, it's YOUR fault and are an uncooperative problem patient.

So I am 25 and a transgender woman diagnosed with Anxiety, Depression, and BPD. I don’t think I can have a wholly unbiased view of psychiatry. My father was a psychiatric nurse and I have been through the psychiatric system. The medicines I take because of that have genuinely been lifesaving for me. Psychiatry is the reason I’m in a body that more closely fits me and I have medicines that make the worst of my mental health symptoms more manageable. So the thought of someone being against it is boggling to me.

The conspiracy of it all

Most conditions have a severity aspect. You can have many things, some mild some more severe. But you still have those things. No one would say mild depression is another condition than severe depression. So where is mild DID? No, there is just one type and that is DID. That tells me DID should be on a severity spectrum of another condition.

There are numerous forms of alternative bilateral movements which do not use eye movements. do your research, recent research. There are other organizations outside of EMDRIA, dealing with your claim of 'fanatics'. there are extensive critiques of EMDRIA and no EMDR training institutions of trainers claim EMDR to be a panacea for good clinical practice in trauma treatment. If they do, it's a RED FLAG.

terrible treatments and ignorance.

I have adhd, was diagnosed a few years ago at 20. In my experience, very few therapists have been helpful, and the real improvements in my life have come from being medicated. I don’t live in an area where adhd specialists are accessible, and regular therapists really don’t seem to understand how adhd fundamentally impairs your life. Like ‘oh you should journal!’ I will completely forget and then get shamed at the next appointment. ‘Keep a planner!’ I will forget the planner exists the next day and then get shamed at the next appointment. Like others have noted, in my own experience therapists tried to make me easier for other people to deal with. They didn’t seem to care about my own internal problems as long as I stopped annoying people. I think mental health and psychiatry are super important and can save people’s lives. But those in mental health work are people too, they have flaws and biases, and often their own mental health struggles to deal with. It’s not a perfect solution.

1) Chomsky is full of shit. Always was. Pseudointellectual. Stop taking anything he has ever said seriously. 2)You're probably doing it the wrong way because others are quite successful. Never dismiss something because you think it can't be done in a better way. It's arrogant. Animals are way smarter than we think. It's just that most of us don't have what it takes to make THE connection and teach them stuff. I've seen dogs literally having conversations with their owners. Border Collies? Oh my god it's like they understand EVERYTHING but are unable to speak. Huskies actually respond to words and even try to reply.

I think the problem with psychiatry is that it has historically and still is extremely hostile to the people it’s supposedly trying to help. Everything from being dismissive and condescending to actually being outright manipulative and abusive, the psychiatric field has a dark past and that darkness is still present in many psychiatrist. I think maybe we should refrain from giving Neurotypical people licenses to do psychiatry until Neurodivergent people manage to reshape psychiatry into a thing that actually helps us rather than a tool to make us more palatable for neurotypical society without actually helping the patient. This would be an extreme measure, but I think maybe we, disabled people, might actually have an opportunity to be treated like human beings as opposed to nuisances.

I'm 28 and was diagnosed with level 2 autism spectrum disorder and persistent depressive disorder. Psychiatrists couldn't diagnose me, a psychologist did. A psychiatrist prescribed me abilify at one point, thankfully I only took it for maybe 2 or 3 days. Doctors and psychiatrists prescribed me SSRIs which have been shown to be ineffective for autistic people. Why would I spend time and money going back when I have no faith in the system?

as a person with issues (some diagnosed and some not) I couldn't really like psychiatry. it wasn't for me and I could say my medical treatment worked as intended and I didn't like who and what I was. although I'd add people should talk to a professional over mental health issues but still, it couldn't treat me as I wanted and I don't completely blame the institution. just to add I'm not European or American and I can't speak of the experience of the people of those countries.

one would hope that a practitioner of psychotherapy would avoid dichotomizing social movements, such as the advancement of colored people and the one against psychiatry, as legitimate or illegitimate, and yet

I think people's experiences with psychiatry art based on class and income. It's weaponized by medical, social justice institutions to oppress and force institutionalization on non conforming Neuro divergence and the already traumatized. But upper classes and wealthy enjoy psychiatry with dignity and autonomy. The earlier type won't trust it. The wealthy have no allegiance to it, but are happy to use it to their own ends.

2:35 that's a straight up lie, youtube absolutely DOES care a LOT about comments and all other interactions under the video. The overly dramatic tone of the whole thing, the slow long intro with zero substance, this really feels like a video by someone doing their best to game the algorithm and pad out the video and focusing less on delivering the information people are here for. Yes I know me commenting this is ironic.

Pre-video: For me personally, I would have died without medication (particularly mood stabilizers). I am very skeptical of traditional antidepressants because I have had bad experiences with them. I also have had bad experiences with negligent psychiatrists who saw a suffering teen and decided to immediately put me on medication without examining what disorders I actually have. I think that psychiatry is something you need to have experience with in order to properly navigate it, which is unfortunate

I think I’m becoming more and more anti-psychiatry when I try to process what happened to me. I don’t really care about whether or not there’s objective testing for diagnoses because there’s medical conditions like that too. What I do have a problem with is the whole system, from the doctors to the therapists etc that claim to help people when in reality they harm a lot of people, a lot like cops really. They get away with it too because the people they harm are either too unwell to do anything about it or not seen as worthy witnesses compared to the word of a ‘doctor’ so I had no way to fight back against being misdiagnosed as being mentally ill after I tried to get help for what I now know was Hashimoto’s/hypothyroidism combined with ADHD. I had no idea what was causing my problems so I stupidly thought I could trust the doctor to help me. I was wrong and I was sent down a decades long path of being given SSRIs and antipsychotics and not being listened to when I said something wasn’t right and the more I protested the more angry they got and the less they bothered to do for me. They are often very arrogant people who have no real interest in you or being inquisitive about what you are going through so if you don’t get better after the first few attempts or prescriptions then they start becoming hostile and blame you for not getting better. They will label you permanently too so even if you went elsewhere they will still treat you the same way. Even the supposed good ones didn’t bother to say to themselves ‘hey this patient isn’t getting any better, maybe it’s not mental illness after all?’ Instead I just collected more and more (mis)diagnoses and became a ‘difficult’ or ‘complicated’ patient when all I needed was thyroid hormone and stimulants.

Not anti-psych at all (on meds and in therapy), but one thing this video seems to miss is the roots and legacy of eugenics in psychiatry pre-1950s and the eugenicists/fascists/nazis that influenced psychiatry as it exists from the 1950s on. This is not to say that everyone who studied and practiced psych were eugenicists or attempting to recreate their practices, but I think it important not to ignore where a lot of our understanding and perspective in psychiatry comes from. (edit: changed psychology to psychiatry)

Michael Focault???

I have EUPD and complex PTSD. I need my psych meds and am very grateful that I've had good doctors with my best interest at heart. When I was younger I genuinely believed that psychiatry was just getting people addicted to drugs they didn't really need. I am in a mental health facility right now for DBT treatment and once again am so very grateful this option exists. Thank ye gods for the wonderful Australian health system!

psychiatry is a pseudoscience nothing is proven with the scientific method. Some things work and if you find the right medication you are just lucky. Dutch anti-psychiatry mostly wants informed consent, and bigger part in the decision about the type and dosage of the medication by the client

Psychology is quackery mascarading as medicine. Psychology does not follow the scientific method. Unfortunately, psychiatry has been entangled with psychology since the beginning of the study of the mind from a clinical perspective. Psychology has contradicted itself so many times in the past 100 years, that we cannot really take any psychology concept seriously anymore. Remember that psychology used to classify male homosexuality as a mental illness back in the 1960's, and in the 1950's women who had been diagnosed with "hysteria" were "vaginally massaged" by their "doctors" as a treatment for their "hysteria". A slap in the face was also recommended to stop the "hysteria attacks". Today, 2024 there are factions in psychology that accurately identify gender dysphoria as a mental illness or at least a dysfunction, others say that it is just a characteristic, not a mental pathology. Regardless of where the truth lays, we cannot take a field of study seriously when there does not seem to be a consensus about most topics and definitions. Psychology does more harm than good.

Alright: Psychiatry is an amazing development in the treatment of human health both mental and Physical.

No (so called) "side effects" of a dog. They don''t destroy your organs.

The gaslighting of neuroweapons victims is one of the most revolting aspects. How do psychiatrists not know about this form of covert abuse? Do they just stick their head in the sand and never look at what DARPA are up to, or the Jose Delgado types? Obviously psych drugs have caused a lot of havoc in people's lives, and there's a ludicrous amount of censorship in psychiatry forums. Like whenever I try to post about neuroweapons and the gaslighting and smearing of the victims I get censored and banned from quora and reddit psychiatry. It seems verry unlikely psychiatrists haven't looked into what Dr James Giordano, Dr Robert Duncan, Dr John Hall etc are talking about, and the merging into transhumanism. How is it that civilian psychiatry remains seemingly oblivious to the effects of freuqnecies on the brain and nervous system, and all the dozens of patents for frequency related technologies on the nervous system, that have been used in the field since 1975.
