Psychiatry is still an Art. I don't blame MD's. I blame the drug companies who fudged the studies; there is no excuse to pick on society's most vulnerable.

Psychiatry is still an Art. I don't blame MD's. I blame the drug companies who fudged the studies; there is no excuse to pick on society's most vulnerable. I myself had to drop out of graduate school because of a horrid case of anxiety. The daily anxiety stayed with me for years. It's hard to remain cheerful when the person you thought you were suddenly disappears. I don't have Schizophrenia--which I'm grateful. The only advise I can give is that, at least in my case, time did help my disorder. To any Psychiatrist out there; If your patient is stable. There's no need to drag them into endless office visits, especially if they don't have insurance. A prescription lasts one year. Don't become part of your patients problem. If you don't have a better business model--that's life. Yes--your patients know the game.
