Psychiatry is a form of religion.

Firstly sir, I did not make stuff up. I thought you said psychiatrists believed themselves to be Gods. You clarified that it was medication they viewed as God, and worthy of worship. - Understood, though obviously not agreed with.

Secondly, I edited my post as I decided it was not a discussion 'I' wanted to have in a public forum. This has no bear ...[text shortened]... n. You will just have to have it with someone else.

I wish you well with your mental health.

So many believers. So much faith. Surely one person has the ability to explain the gods of the trillion dollar church.

I will explain your religion for you then.

When dealing with depression serotonin in patients is found to be low. What the drugs do is increase the levels of this in the brain. There is no control over getting to the right level of serotonin or being monitored. It's a blind guess where success can be found amongst the mass murderers. So they say doing magic mushrooms can help patients that do not respond to the treatments available to them. You can also go outside and sit in the sun to increase your serotonin... ways that are natural and not posing a danger to your brain. If you suffer depression you probably need to change the way you live your life. Give up alcohol which is a known depressant.

When dealing with schizophrenia dopamine is found to be high. When a person with schizophrenia is drugged the dopamine cannot be used as the chemicals in the medications have binded in the place where the dopamine would be used. It is basically an execution of the natural drugs that people need to function in day to day life. Not only does it execute the dopamine it also executes the serotonin taking away any feelings of joy and emotions leaving behind a dead piece of human. May as well be dead.... and there is not one role model who is a medicated schizophrenic unlike depression.

I want to say. We have become very good at physics, so we figure everything is like that. But it isn't.

Soon I won't be. :-).

I like my serotonin and dopamine. I don't see why I should be executed so you can feel better in your ownership.
