Description

Psychiatries are a family of serious delusion related disorders.

They are extremely dangerous, with the psychiatrist often becoming a

danger to others. (It is many agree that psychiatry maybe the most

severe and debilitating of the normal disorders.) Psychiatrists

often use drugs, imprisonment, and harmful adversives on their

victims. The primary area of delusion for in psychiatry centers on

being a savior of sorts, who must rescue others from themselves

using any means possible. Generally, psychiatrists believe they know

what is best for all people. To " help " others, they perform all

manner of strange rituals on these patients (sometimes called

clients, consumers, or other politically correct terms).

Unfortunately, this " help " tends to be covertly based on the

psychiatrists goals and ideal, even if at odd with that of the

patient, and is often quite harmful.

Psychiatrists tend to believe that they have a special understanding

both of the minds of others, and of the nature of reality in

general. They typically will believe that they know what is going

through the minds of other ( " Thought Decryption " ), and, more

importantly, what should be going through the minds of others.

Often, it is believed that the thoughts or feelings of others are

wrong, and that the persons mind must be fixed ( " cured " ) to match

what the psychiatrist thinks should be in the patient's mind. These

beliefs about having a special understanding of others minds are

sometimes referred to as " first rank " symptoms of psychiatry, though

it is unlikely that they are pathonomic of psychiatry. Any

disagreement with the psychiatrist's views or refusal of treatment

is likely to be taken as a sign of just how " disturbed " (thinking

incorrectly) the " patient " is. In addition, psychiatrists often

believe that their own view of reality is absolutely correct, or at

least close enough to judge other views as wrong, defective, or

delusional. Views of patients that conflict with those of the

psychiatrist are taken as signs of severe disease, and as needing to

be " cured. " The views of psychiatrists, especially those ideas

related to psychiatry (those listed as symptoms under criteria A.)

are usually of delusional intensity, and are not responsive to

reason or evidence. In fact, it has often been noted that reasoning

with a psychiatrist will only strengthen these delusional beliefs,

and cause the patient to be seen as even more defective. However, it

should be remembered that most of these behaviors are not malicious,

and in most cases the psychiatrist actually believes he or she is

helping his or her victims.

Patronization: This is the belief that the psychiatrist has the

right to do whatever it takes to " help " others, even if its against

the will of those whom are to be " helped. "

Responcibility: Like patronization, but in case the psychiatrist

believes that well being of others is somehow his or her personal

responsibility. As a result, obsessive or compulsive " help " behavior

may be present, as the psychiatrist believes that is it his or her

duty to help the " patients. " Typically, this means

forcing " treatments " on them because not to do so would

be " unethical, " " unprofessional, " or just plain bad.

Thought Decryption: This is the belief, as describe above, that the

psychiatrist is somehow able to decipher the thoughts or feeling of

other. The " deciphered " thoughts are often considered real, even in

the face of conflicting evidence, such as the behavior or verbal

report of a patient. Often considered a first rank symptom, and

especially common in the para-Freud subtype of psychiatry. Often

called " first rank " symptom, thought decryption may be the prevalent

of all psychiatric delusions.

Stereotyping: This is the belief that large numbers of very

different people may be grouped into pre-defined categories

of " illness. " Virtually any unusual or deviant behavior may be

classified as an " illness " in this way, and then these illness may

then be " treated " (i.e., the person may be made " normal, " or like

the presumed mode of the populations). Often, it is assumed that

what is good for one person in a certain category will be good for

all or most others, and that they may be treated as all the same.

Pseudoscientific: This is the belief that at unfounded,

idiosyncratic, or just plain bizarre set of beliefs held by the

psychiatrist (such as psychoanalysis or object relations theory),

usually relating to the above themes, are actually a cutting edge

science. Often used, this is used in direct contradiction to the

open, questioning, and self-correcting spirit of good science, as a

means validating the " correctness " of the psychiatrist's delusions.

This helps to justify the delusional intensity of the psychiatrist

belief system, and to intimidate patients into compliance (or

authorities into forcing compliance) with the

psychiatrist's " treatments. "

Associated Features & Differential Diagnosis

Normal personality and neurotypicality are both quite common among

psychiatrists, though their exact relationship is uncertain. It may

be that the intolerance typical of normal personality leads to the

formation of psychiatric delusions.

In addition, most 9though not all) psychiatrists have an impairment

of receptive communication. Often, they will not listen, or fail to

listen closely. They will often misinterpret statements made to them

in such a way as to " prove " their preexisting delusions or to label

the speaker as " sick. " Further, they are often quite literal minded,

frequently taking figurative sayings or metaphors as concrete

statements (thus producing a belief that the speaker is delusional

and/or hallucinating). Very frequently, psychiatrists will give

stereotyped responses based on a category to which the patient is

believed to belong, even if though they have nothing to do with what

the patient said actually said. It is uncertain whether these

communication deficits are specifically related to psychiatry, or to

comorbid neurotypical disorder. Clinical experience, however,

suggests these communication deficits may be especially common and

severe among psychiatrists.

The name " psychiatry disorder " has been questioned in recent years,

as it has been noted that an identical disorder exists in some

clinical psychologist, social workers, and non-psychiatric medical

professionals. Therefore, the diagnosis of psychiatry disorder

should not be limited to professional psychiatrist. An interesting

observation is that those with medical degrees are more likely to be

of the bio-organized type (see below), while psychologists and

social workers are more likely to be either robionic or pare-Freud.

Subtypes

The following are major subtypes of psychiatry commonly recognized:

669.10 Bio-Organized

Preoccupation with concepts of biological disease

Often uses medical " quick-fixes, " such as psychotropic drugs,

psychosurgery, or electroconvulsive therapy.

The bio-organized type of psychiatry is so named because they tend

to organize their delusions around biological concepts, such as

genetic defects and biochemical imbalances. Categories of difference

are often held to be genetically based defective phenotypes,

constituting disease, though other biologically based explanation

for differences are sometimes found. Invariably, the inevitable

biological difference found between behavior phenotypes are used to

rationalize their classification as disease, however. In keeping

with the biological out look, bio-organized psychiatrists typically

use biomedical techniques, such as drugs, to make there patients

normal. Once rare, the incidence of bio-organized psychiatry is

quite high, so that the prevalence is increasing. There is evidence

that bio-organized is now the most common type of psychiatry in US,

and possibly the world.

669.20 Robionic

At least two of the following:

(a) Overly mechanical and superficial thinking, especially

concerning human behavior

( Frequent use of " brainwashing " techniques, such as Applied

Behavior Analysis and other conditioning methods

Does not meat the criteria for 669.10, bio-organized psychiatry.

The robionic form of psychiatry is so called because of the tendency

for such psychiatrists to treat patient (and sometimes others) as

robot like machines. Robionic psychiatrists, who often call

themselves " behaviorists, " typically use behavioral techniques, such

as classical and operant conditioning or discrete trials to force

others to conform to arbitrary standards of " normality. " (Once

common example of such a standard is to make a

child " indistinguishable from ... normally developing peers, "

without consideration of the actual adaptiveness of such behavior.)

Robionic psychiatrists are less likely to attack high-functioning

adults than other psychiatrist, but are notorious for " training "

children and less functional people.

669.30 Para-Freud

Delusions of Though Decryption Pressent

Preoccupation with elaborate symbol systems and elaborate schemes of

an " unconscious " mind

Magical thinking

Does not meet criteria for 669.10 (bio-organized psychiatry) or

669.20 (robionic psychiatry)

Para-Freud psychiatry is named after an early case history of a

psychiatrist named Sigmund Freud. Para-Freud psychiatry is defined

by its elaborate system of delusions about various unconscious

processes, which may differ somewhat between psychiatrists. Internal

conflict, blame of the patient for being different for some

unconscious ulterior motive, and the belief that rejection of there

views is the result of unconscious denial and " repression " are

hallmarks of pare-Freud psychiatry. Para-Freud psychiatrist

typically subject patients to many long, expensive talk sessions and

subtle indoctrination (in contrast to the more drastic methods used

by robionic psychiatrists), though " brief therapy " is becoming more

popular. Example of common para-Freud techniques and doctrines

include psychoanalysis, " depth " psychology, and object relations

theory.

669.90 Eclectic

The term eclectic psychiatry refers to all practicing psychiatrists

not found in one of the other categories. To be considered eclectic,

one must meet the general criteria for psychiatry disorder, but not

the criteria for any (other) specific subtype.

669.60 Retired Psychiatry

A previous episode of psychiatry disorder, of any type, meeting full

criteria

Continues to hold many of the psychiatric views, possibly in a

milder form

No longer meet criteria B. for psychiatry disorder

Sometimes a psychiatrist will cease to be a threat to others, while

maintaining some of the characteristic though patterns of

psychiatry. These are referred to as retired psychiatrists.

Onset & Prognosis

There is usually a prodrome of eight or more years before full fedge

psychiatry is manifest. However, some of the features of psychiatry

may be seen even earlier, sometimes even at a young age. The

incidence of psychiatry seems to peak around thirty years of age in

both sexes, but some casesmay appear later, and a few slightly

earlier (though rarely before twenty-five years of age). Despite

many references to " child psychiatrists, " there has never been an

evidence of a child practicing psychiatry; it appear that " child

psychiatrists " are simply adult psychiatrist that primarily

victimize children.

Psychiatry is a very dangerous disorder, and often resistant to

reason. Further, the prognosis is quite poor, with the disorder

usually lasting for decades, and recovery very rarely complete -

often, the best recovery that can be hoped for is a remission into

the retired state. Thus, in many cases, the best thing to do with

psychiatrists is simply to avoid them.
