ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar and Depression

Therapist are not authorized to prescribe medication. They are there to help you cope in the physical attributes in your day by day life. Meaning they teach you how to do things differently how to go by your life and in different point of view they allow you to express how you feel in a safe environment. Psychiatrist diagnose you and prescribed to you the best medication they believe can help treat your mental illness. They deal with the chemical balance in your brain. The majority of the time both of these come hand in hand. You have the medication side that helps internal while you have the other that is physical.

The problem is that general practitioners/Family doctors/pediatricians do prescribe meds for people that might or might not have an illness. Psychiatrists are just the modern day fortune teller. And they always have been. Look at Freud he was almost as much of a hack as Jeung. They simply tell you to do the right thing, think for yourself and ignore your guilt. I'll freely admit that some of us have mental illness. And that should be addressed in a group therapeutic safe environment. But small deviations from the norm aren't reason for medication. Extreme deviations are and always have been. In the US we used to have asylums and mental institutions. Unfortunately people with money found that these were a great place to send/hide siblings/wives and children.Today we call these rehab institutions. Most of the American rehabs are cash driven.They like you until the day the insurance runs out. Then they send you back. Sometimes to secondary rehab. Point is we don't know how the brain works

I think you missed my point. None of those professionals use medical tests or means to diagnose. I am not saying that they have no purpose or role, but I am saying that it isn't enough.

I did. You're correct. And agreed, it isn't.
