Your friendly psychiatrist has a chemical imbalance

[Guest guest]

Your friendly psychiatrist has a chemical

imbalance.

First of all a blood test for serotonin is not

good

enough, because it will only show how much

serotonin

you have taken in, during the past 24 hours or

so.

Just as they do a blood test for electrolytes

(minerals), the results will be off if you just

drank

a gallon of milk, in regards to calcium. This is

provided you absorbed the calcium. This is why

some

doctors use a hair analysis test. They only

assume

that if it is in the blood then it must be in the

brain. What about the blood brain barrier.

The brain of the psychiatrist is imbalanced when

compared to any other psychiatrist.

You all have a chemical imbalance, when compared

to

each other or me or a psychiatrist's brain.

I believe every brain is different and has its

own

balance of chemicals.

The psychiatrist asks a person questions and

determines there is a chemical imbalance. How he

pulls

this trick off is beyond me, but for the next

step

I'll agree with his first conclusion.

The next step is which chemical is missing or

there is

too much of and which drug does he prescribe. Of

course he doesn't really know, so he relies on

the

literature from the drug company and makes an

uneducated guess. How is it possible to teach in

medical school, to be able to ask a person

questions

and determine what the status of the persons

brain

chemicals are. Think about TeenScreen.

Why don't people demand that l-tryptophan be put

back

on the market and then we could regulate our own

serotonin. Of course the drug companies could not

sell

SSRI's. They may accuse us of doctoring ourselves

if

we eat to much turkey. Only " they " know what is

good

for us; the drug companies and the APA.
