Psychiatrists have no ideia what they are doing.
Im a doctor and i believe psychiatry is a scam. I started to have anxiety problems when i was 19, and i was put on Sertraline. Since then, it has been a fucking snowball. One med on top of the other, antypsychotics , lithium, vynvanse, you name it. Only got worse and more weird symptoms. Everytime i tried to quit i suffered from intense rebound and my doctor kept insisting it was my “disease” coming back.
Ive visited multiple psychiatrists over the years, and they never agreed on a diagnostics. Bipolar, autism, treatment resistant depression…
Ive finally called it quits. Ive been tapering off the med, i cant trust these people any more, i feel like a guinea pig and i believe i should have never been put on Ssris in the first place, i was just a teenager with a few personal problems. Im now 29 years old and after a decade of using meds there has been no improvment.
I will go through withdrawl and find better alternatives, but i will not use any of these fucking things anymore.
