I dislike psychiatry grossly because the victims of the field are not compensated by how the errors destroy the victim's life.
I'm a person who was medicated with the older & new generation of antipsychotics for two years of my early 20s because I was suffering religious conversion therapy "best I can describe it" from family and where I was in circumstances any other person would have great amounts of stress. The outcome of unfortunate events made me with a doctor who disliked me for desiring to be a woman (I was born a male) and attempted to convince me it's delusions & hallucinations; when I attempted to communicate I never suffered from either. The medication would result in me doubting myself but I eventually broke away from it all. It was impossible to find anyone to help sue for the tremendous pain (I still suffer to this day from it all) and it's been many years since it all happened.
Anyway I deeply believe there should be a special hell for people who go into this field but I doubt anyone had any will in the outcome for me being any different because I've read philosophy on determinism since then. I think the field has done more damage than good and is a net negative with getting away with it all because of government allowing it. People prefer to believe something is good and when it really isn't.
- ordu 7y agoThere is a book "A Road Back from Schizophrenia: A Memoir"[1]. Arnhild Lauveng came back from schizophrenia, got a degree in psychology and wrote the book, describing how it feels to have a schizophrenia. She describes doctors too. A bad ones and also those, who helped her to get back from schizophrenia. I believe you would like that book, her experiences are like yours.

- yosys 7y agoNo, the experience was meaningless like life and nothing more than torture. I believe the field will die slowly and my life was worthless. I plan to act on suicide in the near future because of the torture.
- ordu 7y agoThe meaning of your experiences is what you make from it. It is the reason why I suggest you reading this book. A similar experience through different eyes. A psychologist probably might say about a therapeutic effect of this, but I'm not a consulting psychologist, so I rather say in a technical terms: it is hard to find meaning having just one point of data. You need at least two to draw a line. By the way, did he disliked you because of your desire to be a woman, or for some other reason? > I plan to act on suicide in the near future because of the torture. It makes hard to me to speak with you. It feels like a minefield, one wrong step, one wrong word and I became a cause of someone's death. I'll try to ignore that. Why are you suffering now? If I understood you right, torture ended at least a few years ago. Some kind of "flashbacks"?
