Mad in America

NOVEMBER 7, 2024

W hen I first decided to seek help from a doctor, I had no idea what I was getting myself into or how difficult it would later be to break free from the cocktail of medications. At the back of my mind, I believed antidepressants would stabilize my disturbed nervous system. At that time (and unfortunately still in Poland), psychiatry held the belief that people with personality disorders had a dysregulated hormonal balance, which, as a budding neuroscientist, made a lot of sense to me.

Critical Psychiatry

NOVEMBER 4, 2024

I've said before it's been difficult to get the message of critical/relational psychiatry accepted (see eg. previous post ). People are being encouraged to see themselves as their brains. It's almost become heretical to suggest otherwise. Of course the belief that what we think, feel and do are caused by our brains is plausible. This assumption must not be questioned, though.

D ear Psychiatrist: I first met you 30 years ago and I want to let you know how I am doing. Today I was the proud mother at my youngest son’s wedding — but if I had believed you I wouldn’t have been there. Two weeks ago I celebrated with my daughter when she received her master’s degree — but if I had believed you I wouldn’t have been there. A few months ago I celebrated my grandson’s first birthday — but if I had believed you I wouldn’t have been there.

A new study has challenged the perception heavy social media use has a significant impact on mental health, finding little to no relationship between the two. In fact, not only does the research indicate the amount of time spent on social media has a negligible effect on mental health indicators such as depression, anxiety and stress -- the result isn't always negative, either.

A round 14 years ago my son told me he was hearing voices. Like many family members I was mystified, startled, and clueless about this experience so I turned to mental health professionals for answers. They offered the prevailing wisdom about voice hearing: that he was basically out of control, his voices were dangerous, and that I had to “babysit him 24/7” to stop him from acting out on what he was hearing.

The presidential election has been an emotional rollercoaster for parents and kids alike. The campaign was not just a topic on television and social media, it divided friends and family members and caused a lot of anxiety. Kids were exposed to disturbing language, shocking images, insults, and dire predictions for the future. Whatever our personal feelings about the election, kids need to understand what is happening.

Well the 2024 election is over and I thought I would bring it to a close with this final post on the issue. As previously stated, I am a small I independent and have never registered as a Democrat or a Republican. Except for Barack Obama and Joe Biden - I have voted for Ralph Nader in nearly every other Presidential election that I have voted in. As you can see from recent posts, I absolutely did not want Trump or his minions anywhere near the White House again.
