Maybe you can now concentrate on your other 'health problem'.

That's right, blame the patient - after all they're crazy anyway so they probably don't know what's good or bad for them. If they were normal then they'd realise how good the therapies are and respond better...oh wait....
And who says it's just me noticing these things? The problem lies with the N.H.S/government who criminally underfund services. They can't cope with the demand, so the combination of medication, and short-form therapy like C.B.T stops them getting the pants sued off of them when their patients invariably kill themselves. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, but to lay the blame at mental health professionals is not only short-sighted, but actually wide of the mark. Aim your blame at the right areas. In my local area, with high levels of immigration, the mental health services cannot cope. I have both been a service user, and a volunteer for them. In my own case, I was the cause of treatment not working. This applies only to me. It took me a while to see I was sabotaging my own treatment. in your opinion, would you say I was the only one doing that? |

What more do you want to know about my poor innocent little butthole? |

I wonder at the appropriateness of being put on antidepressants for just feeling a bit "miserable" anyway!

We have very different experiences as patients. Every mental health professional I have encountered has been brilliant.

You talk of immigration, well the other side of this is that in London where I am the majority of mental health nurses and social workers are immigrants themselves. While many indigenous people can also be very unempathetic, many of these workers come from cultures where mental illness is viewed very differently and have low tolerance for people that do not conform to social norms. With a poor command of spoken English, they can also struggle to understand the subtleties of what patients are telling them. Your last questions is impossible to answer; I have no idea if you're the only one 'sabotaging' your treatment, but the way you put it does sound slightly 1984 - that you're happy you've been successfully reprogrammed. |

Also in my experience many psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses and social workers do like to draw an artificial line between them and their patients, characterising themselves as rational and sane and therefore implicitly superior. Any encounter with a patient intelligent enough to see through this is seen as a threat and either met with abuse (as per example I gave before), subduing with sedating medication to force compliance or else withdrawal of services.

It also sounds like you're suggesting that any service user who thinks health care professionals see them selves as superior beings are then subject to very severe repercussions. Have any of these things happened to you and, if so, did you challenge them? |

This sounds very bleak and the use of medication to 'force compliance' would be illegal so a very serious matter.

Have any of these things happened to you and, if so, did you challenge them? When people are sectioned like my nephew is at the moment, the use of medication to ensure compliance is justified as protecting the patient and staff, and there is very little actual scrutiny of this or successful challenging. My point really is that there are many other motivations at work in this industry besides helping the patient, because being confronted by a person with mental illness taps into fundamental fears about oneself an one's own function in society. I'm not saying that mental illness isn't real and doesn't cause suffering, because it does. |

I'm glad I'm getting passed the age where I feel the need to be constantly knocking one out! There's nothing worse though than a boredom wank where it's more of a chore than a pleasure and the end result is less than spectacular!

Try Mirtazapine or Buproprion, they have the opposite effect.
Citalopram is typical of SSRI's and it can be permanent. It's one of the main side effects of them and if you're lucky enough not to be ruined down under it can still take a few months to wear off after you stop taking them. They don't warn you about this either, antidepressants always seem to include decreased sex drive as a side effect but never mention for some people it has the opposite effect. Honestly I'd rather my sex drive was decreased being horny 24/7 is not a lot of fun. Maybe if you had several partners it would be OK but that's not me. |
