Avoid the Shrinks
Do you doubt the correctness of your psychiatric diagnosis?
Or are you dead scared that some fat-cat shrink will hang a board around
your neck saying "Crazy"?
Yes, you do.
Anybody who has run into psychological problems would answer 'yes' to one
of the above questions. And the sad thing is, you may be pushed further into
the situation where you are forced to see that fat-cat shrink. And if he
asks you a few stupid questions and then scribbles a prescription for knock-out
drugs, you've had it.
Psyconfidential has been created in order to put control into your hands.
In order to make it work, you need to go through the complete diagnostic
process in your own privacy. Then you have all the data in hand which the
fat cat may miss, because if he spends more than half an hour on you, he
won't be able to pay the mortgage on his luxury beach home.
Psychiatry is like a jig-saw puzzle. The jig-saw puzzle comes your way as
two thousand pieces in a box, and you have to piece them together one by
one. Only the picture, and nothing less than the picture will tell you what
the jig-saw puzzle is all about. The jig-saw puzzle in psychiatry comes without
a ready-made picture on the lid.
Please go to 'Your Full Assessment' and complete every section in your own
privacy. Be totally honest with yourself. That will give you truth itself
as solid ground under your feet. In return for your effort, you will have
a full, formal Psychiatric Assessment in your hand, with a diagnosis as accurate
as possible. On the other hand, there may be no diagnosis. That would set
you free from the fat cat and his hasty mis-diagnosis.
No diagnosis?
Yes, it is possible. If, for instance, you have been using street drugs of
any description, and you never had any psychiatric problems before you started
using, your full assessment will show that your only problem is - most probably-
your drug usage. If you have been hurt, either as kid or as an adult, that
in itself can cause symptoms, because you have to adjust. And to adjust to
bad stuff you have to feel, and you have to know what you feel. That is not
a symptom.
So, by completing your full assessment with honesty and accuracy may put
this powerful argument in your hands. You may save yourself from a lifetime
of trouble. And you may avoid becoming part of the everlasting stigma of
psychiatry.
Greetings,
Dr. Blom.
