I have a dvd about the movement in the United States and the world by a group of people who call themselves "Psychiatrists". Every person should see this documentary!

I got beaten up about 5-6 years ago and had some extreme neck and back pain and a headache that basically has never left(although has gotten better).
Can you believe it.. the doctor was trying to push me anti-depressants! I basically had to keep working in a very physical job until the pain got so bad I couldnt even understand what people were saying, my eyesight was wrecked and black-outs started happening a bit. I ended up like a year on NO income and had no savings. It was lucky I had some friends.
I ended up selling my home and have been living off that ever since. Dont get me started on quacks, because some of them deserve a bullet in their heads!

Being diagnosed as "bi-polar" does not mean you are mentally ill my friend. Of course the doctors want you to think you are - especially if you have good health insurance. They want you to be "sick" so they can continue to make money from your health insurance.
If you want to get better then you need to look at the options available to you. PM me if you are interested in alternatives.
Originally posted by ArrakisThere is some evidence to suggest that Morphy was schizophrenic. He was troubled by voices with which he would converse, he was also deeply paranoid, to the extent of delusional, which is an attendant symptom of schizophrenia.
