I am very familiar with your problem. While on disability I saw many times when a practicing psychiatric "physician" should have lost their license but didn't. One instance that comes to mind, involved a friend of mine who suffered from hepatitus B. The physicians who treated him for hepatitus actually screamed at the idiot who treated him for anxiety, "You're killing this man," and yet refused to either change the scrips or take the man off them. Another psychiatrist cried on my shoulder because he was being overworked. To cite an instance a little closer to home, when my psychiatrist put me on clonopin, I couldn't stop crying. I had been fine before she prescribed it, and before I knew it I was in a partial hospitalization program. Despite the fact that my crying stopped when I stopped taking the drug, I couldn't get out of the program because my psychiatrist had changed jobs and no one could knew where she had gone to. Meanwhile, I was surrounded by former criminals and complete lunatics (I wonder how many of these lunatics became insane from drug prescriptions)for six months. What do you think that did for my anxiety?
I'm sorry to say that I've come to one irreversable decision, psychiatry and optimology are the two least advanced specialties in medicine. Optimology is inept because the government and medical establishment don't consider poor eyesight a serious problem, which puts optimology behind the 8 ball because of the lack of research. My mother suffered from glaucoma and the problems her eye drops caused her rival the problems I witnessed due to psychiatric drugs. And puleeeze, do not ever even suggest that psychiatric medicines do any more than line the pockets of the pharmaceuticals and create a welfare state for psychiatrists.
I think the only way you're going to get your wish and psychiatrists are made to pay for the damage they've caused, is to tie the bastards down and force them to take their own drugs. Oh, wait a minute, I met some who actually do. No wonder their treatments are so screwed up.
