Views on Self Diagnosis?

Postby StarsSparkle » Thu Nov 26, 2015 11:58 pm

Lately, this has been a topic of discussion because I kept seeing these people who are bluntly did not have any sort of problem, but they kept diagnosing themselves with a mental illness. Take, for example, those with Panic Disorders. I have panic attacks, while not extremely frequently, they are bothersome in some areas. (I couldn't get a job because I kept having major panic attacks while working.)

At one point I actually blacked out while having this attack at a store. Other times, I can't focus. I still can't figure out for the life of me how someone in the midst of a panic attack can still type functionally when they should be trying to calm that attack down. For some reason, at the same time, I keep seeing people with DiD on the rise, but I really don't think they have DiD because of certain actions.

Anyway, I was curious what the view of it is. Most notably, I kept seeing it flaunted around like a trophy. I mean, I understand awareness of a problem. (If you start realizing you are explosive more and more, or really stuck in a hole that's been in place for months, that's different) But awareness is different than diagnosing, right?

I also understand the monetary problem that they bring up, but there is still programs out there that you can go to if you really needed to get evaluated. CMU does this and gives a case worker if need be. (That's how my sister's getting her seriquill)

Though, I don't think a person can evaluate the problem they have by themselves, especially with mental disorders, because its a mental. If its your personality, I don't think you can diagnose yourself, then. Its the core being of you.

Psychologists and psychiatrists are charlatans because they do not care about discovering truth, they care about discovering theories that are convincing, strong, and believable.

What if I told you I am a doctoral researcher in a non-medical field and that I have thoroughly researched a system of doctors who are as unscientific as can be, money-hungry, power-hungry, fraudulent, charlatans?

Somewhere I define them as narcissistic sociopaths due to their feelings of being more than anyone, and their cold, calculated, ruthless, cunning approach. They injure innocent people and never disclose they prescribe toxins for intentionally injuring brains.

Mathematically said, diagnosis = injure your brain, damage it, shrink it, f*** it up even though the organ is just an organ and has not been responsible for anything. Responsible is your environment and people in that environment. If you have some problem, you lack experience and skills in some area. You are trying to learn the skills and get the experience. Instead, you find crazy charlatans who injure brains as their job, and they are so convincing you trust them, then become crippled, slandered, worse off than you were.

Diagnosing yourself means self injuring your brain yourself. Do you really want that, or are you completely misinformed, imagining some professional help? There is no help, only inflicted brain injury by "professionals" who will do it cunningly, ruthlessly, feeling nothing. I am giving you experience about what you will get instead of any help whether you want it or not after trusting charlatans. Stop reading anything about psychology and psychiatry. Those things are false and misleading theories, not the truth, and those misleading theories are very strong, convincing, which is why crazy charlatans can get a few jabs on anyone, knock their victim down, brain injure the victim, inject poisons, and get away with it like "merry x-mas!".
