Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I agree with you 100% just because you can't identify it with blood tests it does not mean that it is not an illness!!!!!! Re: criteria Glitter, mental illness is real. Do you mean to say that soldiers who have witnessed horrible things or taken part in them are not effected detrimentally? Can you say that PTSD is not real? Or battered children and all the social difficulties they face as adults, that this is not real? This attitude does no service to hurting people. In your case, ie. having your shoulder injury diagnosed as depression was a load of crap that's for sure but mental illness is real and yes, it is hard to quantify by medical standards ie. blood tests and it is more of an art than a science. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 My thoughts, Cannot treat just the mind and ignore your body. Cannot treat just the body and ignore your mental condition. The two go hand in hand, something which most doctors and people forget. I think doctors, not just psychiatrists, need to go back treating the whole person, mind, body and soul. Melinda and Jayme her Silver Winged Companion Re: criteria mental illness is real and yes, it is hard to > quantify by medical standards ie. blood tests and it is more of an art > than a science. How are you defining mental illness? It sounds like you are are involving psychological difficulties in this. Is depression a mental illness if it results from grieving or the loss of a job? Is bipolar a mental illness if it results from blood sugar fluctuations or if it is iatrogenic? I would argue, as I have said here, that these are symptoms that should point the educated practitioner to root causes. A traumatic childhood that involved abuse could result in what would be diagnosed as mental illness, or it may not; it may instead result in some faulty coping mechanisms that make a person's life difficult. Or, someone may be able to overcome these effects completely and go on to live a productive life -- rare maybe, but it does happen. Who in any of these cases is mentally ill? My own feeling is that if psychiatrists want to truly be useful in their profession, they need to go back to what they were before the advent of psychopharmacology. They could offer support, therapy, counselling; and in very rare cases where there is brain damage or extreme trauma, certain drugs as a last resort -- ones that are truly effective, instead of the poisonous rubbish that is dished out too freely today (e.g. SSRIs, neuroleptics).

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 There is no debate on this. The words " ilness " and " disease " are not compatible in medical terms when describing a mental condition. Absolutely people have mental conditions, but they are not biological or physically based - otherwise science could run some sort of precision test to verify this. Psychiatrists don't have precision tests. They have " uh, hmm, let me see, gosh, I think you might (fill in the blank) It's all subjective. And that's why mothers don't get the scientific biological medical test results that show their children are ADHD. That's because there are no scientific biological tests that are used. The derivation of the word " psych " means spirit. But psychiatrists don't treat spiritual travails. For the most part, they treat the body with biological methods which is never going to solve anything or cure anyone.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Speaking as an ex soldier, with 14 years in the military, Glitter is correct. It is a crap shoot. You can go to 5 different doctors and get 5 different diagnosis. Both with physica and mental issues. Doctors will be way quick to prescribe you a drug to treat symptoms and never ever address the root of the problem. I have seen so many soldiers be put on drugs that end up making them worse than they ever were after any battle. What we need to do is take care of these brave men and women, mentally, physically, and spiritualy. They also need to be taken care of financially. If they were hurt in the war, we need to take care of them fiancially. We need to make sure they get REST, that they may not have gotten for a year +. Need to take care of their every need and find them gainfull employment. If they were hurt and cannot work, we should take care of their every need. If GW can purchase a pair of boots for 4 grand, and rock stars can have their choice of 4 200 grand cars to drive around in, then we can find a way to take care of our military. We can start by NOT prescribing them drugs that will kill them (if they don't physically kill them, they at least rape their souls). After taking these drugs, for the last two years of withdrawal, I feel like I would be much better off dead, in a living hell is the best way I can describe the way I have felt since my second day of cold turkey in Feb of 2005.

Doctors will be way quick to prescribe you a drug to treat symptoms and never ever address the root of the problem. I have seen so many soldiers be put on drugs that end up making them worse than they ever were after any battle. What we need to do is take care of these brave men and women, mentally, physically, and spiritualy. They also need to be taken care of financially. If they were hurt in the war, we need to take care of them fiancially. We need to make sure they get REST, that they may not have gotten for a year +. Need to take care of their every need and find them gainfull employment. If they were hurt and cannot work, we should take care of their every need. If GW can purchase a pair of boots for 4 grand, and rock stars can have their choice of 4 200 grand cars to drive around in, then we can find a way to take care of our military. We can start by NOT prescribing them drugs that will kill them (if they don't physically kill them, they at least rape their souls). After taking these drugs, for the last two years of withdrawal, I feel like I would be much better off dead, in a living hell is the best way I can describe the way I have felt since my second day of cold turkey in Feb of 2005.

Re: criteria Glitter, mental illness is real. Do you mean to say that soldiers who have witnessed horrible things or taken part in them are not effected detrimentally?

In your case, ie. having your shoulder injury diagnosed as depression was a load of crap that's for sure but mental illness is real and yes, it is hard to quantify by medical standards ie. blood tests and it is more of an art than a science. __________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Speaking as an ex soldier, with 14 years in the military, Glitter is correct. It is a crap shoot. You can go to 5 different doctors and get 5 different diagnosis. Both with physica and mental issues.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!: As far as those who are coming out of the service, first of all they shouldn't be there in the first place. Jesus clearly gave instruction on how to deal with our enemies and it wasn't to go and hunt them down and kill them in order to defend the right to believe the way that we want to. Murder for any reason is hard to deal with, but when your injecting all kinds of neuro toxins and viruses straight into the blood stream (service men are injected with all kinds of garbage through vaccines) you are setting a person up to be mentally unstable to began with. ••AKBraTz DisClaimer•• Copyright©2007* You have Asked to Join Our List, an have Filled out a Disclaimer saying so.
