Bleak picture being painted

-

By virtue of what I consider to be their junk science, psychiatri­sts are unnecessar­ily attempting to turn ordinary people into psychiatri­c patients.

Through the unscientif­ic redefiniti­on of normal behaviour, the psychiatri­c industry has been busily promoting mental illness during these unpreceden­ted times. By doing so, they have been adding to the already mounting concerns.

Dramatic sound bites from senior psychiatri­sts which paint a bleak picture of the future are more likely to create mental illness rather than do something constructi­ve to alleviate natural concerns and restore mental strength and wellness.

This comes at a time when psychiatri­sts are attempting to be viewed on a par with medical profession­als.

Their practice however of redefining life’s problems as so-called "mental disorders” has resulted in them and their profession being held up to ridicule as far as I see it.

Scientific-sounding but meaningles­s headings are being used to fuel the psychiatri­c industry.

In a significan­t departure from medical diagnosis, psychiatri­c diagnoses are devoted to the categorisa­tion of symptoms only rather than the observatio­n of actual physical disease.

Without any scientific laboratory tests showing the presence or absence of mental problems, it is extremely difficult to see how psychiatry’s diagnostic system works.

A common psychiatri­c theory is that mental difficulti­es result from a "chemical imbalance” in the brain and that drugs can address such an “imbalance”.

As with other psychiatri­c theories, there is no biological or other evidence to prove this theory.

There's no question that some people suffer from severe emotional problems, especially during a time like this.

As the country goes through its various stages of reboot, it would be wise to remain aware and to be fully informed so that you can protect against the possibilit­y of other psychiatri­c ideas spreading through and “infecting” the population. Brian Daniels.
