Most overrated thing within psychiatry must be psychiatrists thinking they know what they’re doing
Psychiatrists don't completely think they know what they are doing. They just do the best they can with psychotic people. You couldn't do any better if you were them.
@@TrentAdam what I’m talking about are psychiatrists that indeed think they know what they’re doing. Not all psychiatrists are like that. I’ve met a couple of really good ones. Those first mentioned, however, can do a great deal of harm.
Please pray for me
Why- what's up?
Most people will need a lot more than a prayer to survive a nightmare. They need education and awareness as well as a ton of support.
@@NeseretBemient
Prayer can be the best and only thing that can help when nothing else has helped.
When a person has an encounter with God through Jesus Christ, your whole life changes. The scriptures come alive, and Gods Word is faithful. His Word does not return to Him void…
He says ‘My peace I give to you, not as the world gives’.
It is a peace that surpasses all human understanding; as it is not natural to be given peace in times of utter desperation, grief or when you feel like you can’t go on.
I have experienced this peace many times in my life since becoming a born again believer in Christ, and accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour of my life… I’ve seen and experienced some incredibly miraculous things, and a lot of those things have to do with my mental health.
There is no way I would still be on the planet, if not by the Grace of God. I was as a smashed vase in pieces, and over the years, the Lord God has been putting me back together, bit by bit. I am still a work in progress, and the Bible says ‘He who has begun a good work in you will complete it’. That is one of many encouraging verses from the Bible. Since I’ve been following Christ, I have seen the power of His Word, and it is truly incredible!

How can we help?
Prayers for you ❤
the most underrated thing within the psychiatric paradigm is the patient
That sounds about right! No time to listen to them. Therefore no opportunity to be heard, seen, and appreciated.
excellent point !
Why would they listen to the patient? We're not qualified and they consider us ' crazy' - take a 'sane' person with you - watch the change in attitude when that person speaks.......
@@KateG-s8c How we view people is how we treat them and how we treat them is what they become. There was a study/experiment done awhile ago where they had "sane" persons present to 10 different hospitals and were assessed by different psychiatrist. The only thing they reported was that they "heard a voice" saying "a thud" in their head and otherwise presented completely normal. They were all hospitalized and medicated. And when they told the psychiatrist that this was an experiment and they weren't actually sick, it made things worse. Some were hospitalized up to two months and the only way they could get out was to lie and say they were getting better.
Psychiatry is burdened with trying to solve every single social problem that there is; from multigenerational poverty, to insecure housing, to unemployment, to family violence, to lack of meaning, to the loss of defining meta-narratives, to loneliness and isolation, to unreasonable levels of competition. The answer to these social causes of individual pain is not drugs. Its not even psychotherapy. Its social change. But that won't happen. We are trapped in an unending now and nothing ever changes and we pretend that these social problems are individual problems.
Best comment I've seen in awile. Absolutely spot on. The system is set up.to make money.like every other buisness
You're assuming all problems are a result of social injustice. Some problems are trauma related. Some therapies such as DBT and CBT are very helpful to people with deep psychological wounds.
I haven't seen many psychiatrists interested in social change.
. Along with DBT CBT and Internal Family Systems these are all researched effective psychological treatments. PSYCHIATRISTS HAVE NO TRAINING IN THESE TREATMENTS.
THEY PRESCRIBE PILLS NOT SKILLS! Dr. JOSEF Is providing honest answers about psychiatry and the medical model.
I once asked a psychiatrist on our hospital treatment team why he didn't offer psychotherapy and he said there's no money in it compared to psychotropics.😮
@@juliemauger6183 your comment prompted me to wonder about the interconnected causes of psychological dysregulation, from abuse by other individuals to the effects of larger societal problems and injustice. For example, narcissistic abuse is common, both between individuals, like a narcissistic parent and their child, and between social groups, in which one group elevates itself above another based on identity. Public shame strikes me as a good example of narcissistic abuse at a societal level. It may work to stop an individual’s bad behavior in the short term. Long term, however, public shame may just push further into hiding the very same bad behavior by other individuals with no actual change.
psychiatry is the most overrated thing in psychiatry.
Psychiatry is the most unscientific branch of medicine
Being a psychiatrist I can confirm that. But no wonder. The psyche is the most mysterious and least understood thing in science.
@@afanasymarinov2236stop giving people drugs.
@@afanasymarinov2236Yes exactly. It's so ephemeral it's amazing anything can be done at all.
Also one of the most helpful though. Some people do need meds.
@@TrentAdam some do. But for one person with psychosis, there is a hundred who are prescribed SSRI or benzo for mild stress or for unrelated health reasons. A lot of these drugs are prescribed by GPs or other doctors without being properly scanned for mental illness at all. Doctors just "assume" that you are depressed or anxious without no confirmation at all.
How heartbreaking for these individuals. They are the most vulnerable among us, and some of them can do considerable harm to others, especially their younger siblings, spouses/partners, and no one more than the children they have. This is a social issue that is rarely, if ever, addressed sufficiently. Those fortunate enough to be born into wealth are often the only ones who get the care they need.
The US is such a morally bankrupt, capitalist society where profit comes first and healthcare has become a term to gaslight the public into continue paying their insurance premiums or risk total and complete bankruptcy.
There’s also the problem of just not getting care we can’t pay for. The poorest quintile lives quite significantly shorter lives than the richest does! 😞
After being polydrugged on a dozen drugs at once I lost all faith in psychiatry more generally.
Hello guys, I have a very importat question= Can I tapper tramadol 800 mg to 100 mg abrutaly? I hate the side effects of this medication, I have been use it for 6 months. Thank you.
Psychiatrists at the public clinic where I am will … deny that anti psychotics cause weight gain,
Pill Pushing specialty.
Paid by the patient not by the hour.
This man, who is very obviously a caring physician, is attempting to address the detrimetal aspects of his profession; so to comment on psychiatry as whole and dismiss this man with "whitty" comments, really adds nothing in the way of positive change or, in encouraging any other psychiatrists to do the same. If you think the medical profession (or media, or politics, or education, etc) is our biggest problem that we are dealing with as a culture, it is time to for all of us to point the accusatory finger at the mirror. We may not have created these institutions and systems of control but we sure as hell, blindly follow right along. If any of these issues are going to be successfully addressed, we need to examine our part in their durability. By lazily and blindly trusting the architects of western society and culture, we relinquish our control and with it, our right to bitch and complain about the outcome.
Hear, hear! Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏
Believe it or not, meds actually help a lot of people. Are some tough to come off of? Absolutely. But if they can help someone live a better life, then why mess with that? I'm not a fan of meds, but I'm also not against them if someone truly needs them. You prey on people that have a bad reaction to their meds or have trouble coming off of them. There's nothing more you can offer them that they can't already research on their own. Your videos are purely advertisement for your expensive practice. People who are barely hanging on watch your videos and think you can all of a sudden help them feel better coming off their meds when realistically you can't. You found your market, good for you.
There is no way one form-of behavior ..is better than another.
If you keep pushing people in boxes..it doesn't get solved..your not such a big authority. You have destroyed my adult child to believing I'm blamed for everything
If you are against drugs i doubt you are a psychiatrist?
How to announce to the world that you are dumb without outright saying you're dumb 😆
@@cebruthiusthey’re not totally wrong as psychiatrists mainly deal with drugs
@@mem1701movies I mean nuance gets lost in two different ways: 1) The OP reinforces the idea that a psychiatrist is just a walking pill mill 2) the idea that Dr. JWD is "against" drugs. He isn't, he's applying them sensibly.
@@mem1701movies
They are usually the only ones who give out the drugs, and I’ve never seen one who hasn’t. That’s the problem, as we don’t need those very toxic drugs as a band aid; we need therapy.
@@cebruthiusYeah actually you just did what you accused him of. Psychiatrists are generally known for meds.
In Huron County in Michigan, there was only Psychiatrist in the county and she had a 70plus a day to get into the county. She was responsible for the all agencies in the county. At Huron Behavioral Health no therapy given and she would medicate her patients and refuse to listen to anything they say. She even threw a potent anti psychotic at me even though I was not a person experiencing psychotic episodes.
I had my B.S. in psychology and M.A in Measurement at the time and she refused to take into account what I knew was true and accurate. She prescribed SSRI when I expressed struggles while I was living in a county that had no jobs and no transportation.
The legal system and insurance companies are bedmates with psychiatric/medical model of mental disorders that common sense and patience is devalued.
Sir, I am pleased to see someone who is speaking out and the overall use of medication.
💯 I'm on 5 psych meds that I slowly go up on. No BS, not exaggerating. Patient for 20 years in the psych field. Over the years, I've had multiple doctors that just continue the meds or add to them. Never take me off them. 3:06
Well that's what they tried to do to me but I just never took them and eventually found some that helped. You're the one who is choosing to take ones that you don't like.
Money machine
@@TrentAdam yes, but it's very hard to taper off with little or no help. I'm currently tapering off 3 psychiatric drugs, and my GP is no help at all. He doesn't have a clue how to go about tapering. He just prescribes what I ask him to. I find listening to Dr Josef helps a lot. Mad in America emails help a lot too. But it's not easy getting off these drugs with little help available😢.
I've heard the guy in these videos pushes Wellbutrin to his patients so think about that. I have no proof other than people who have been in contact with his practice, no personal experience though.
@@juliemauger6183 The bad ones make you feel weird from the beginning. The good ones you don't really feel anything until suddenly you realize you're less miserable one day.
I have personally been very, very obliterated by exactly this and I don't know how it's even legal to do... Get prescribed two brain altering drugs at once in a psyche ward after a 10 minute consultation and they both gave me horrible effects, in no time. Over the course of months they only ever kept switching the one medication, and kept me on the other one that was literally killing me the whole time. They even increased it to almost max dose within 3 months and just kept swapping the other. They couldn't put it together and just wrecked me. I definitely had withdrawals a few times between switching some of them and am in incredibly hellish withdrawals coming off of the one that stayed the whole time during writing this. I never knew what was doing what to me the whole time and it was a nightmare. I'm still suffering immensely because of this over a year later and its beyond disgusting.
I had a pretty similar experience with anti psychotics. However Wellbutrin Guaficine and Adderall have really helped me.
I believe this is spot on. Great video 😊
I agree that medication is overused but at the same time there are people who do indeed need it and its pretty irresponsible to suggest otherwise.
You are so true!!!!!!! This is all so true!
I see it often as a program director for substance abuse treatment facility. I try and talk with clients about becoming more educated to ask the doctor or other medical prescriber about the medication they take.
Problem is that phyciatrist dont even know half the time about thesw medications. They know the very basic stuff but that's it. Thanks
I think what often happens is that when a psychiatrist or a GP gives you psychtropic drugs, you are obviously not doing well, and are often not in a fit state to ask questions about or google info about these drugs.
Another factor is our blind faith in doctors. They reassure us these drugs are not addictive, only a small minority of people will have side effects, and so on. Often they're so convincing because they're convinced of the efficacy of these drugs.
But yes, if everyone became more proactive about their treatment, we'd avoid a great deal of misery.
Appt slots too short...driven by ins companies need to make money? What's the solution? My brother has a concierge doctor..he pays the doctor an annual fee and the doctor is able to limit the number of patients he sees and he's able to spend more time with his patients...the doctor even allows the patient to call him directly, send text messages etc. My brother loves it. I think the annual cost will jump next year (this is my bros first year doing this).
Emcepholpathy an spinal taps. Reserch big time.
My question is, are the doctors aware of the changes in medicines over time, and is enough being done to insure that the new and improved test results and patients descriptions of changes in symptoms? And is it
Psychiatry is probably the one industry where things haven't changed in a long time. They still use tools that were used over 200 years ago to diagnose. There are no current test to confirm the brain chemical imbalance theory. It's just a good marketing ploy for drugging people.
I made a study of psychiatric pharmacology a while back (lifelong special interests in psychology and medicine met the dearly departed love of my life who was on 7 psychiatric medications when we met! 😳), and these were my conclusions:
1) Taking more than two meds for pretty much ANY condition is going to end up producing more negative effects than it resolves.
2) Benzodiazepines have a time and place. Most of those times and places are for one day under direct medical supervision. Exceptions include emergency epilepsy treatment and a few rarely used pills for unusual circumstances (i.e. a plane flight or visit to the dentist which happens once or twice a year, or panic attacks less than once per month). Taken more often than about one day per month, they produce an addiction whose only redeeming value is it forces the patient back into the doctor’s office as often as the doctor chooses. 😬
3) Antidepressants all inhibit the reuptake of some amount of serotonin and norepinephrine. Antipsychotics also inhibit the reuptake of dopamine. That’s it. That’s all almost all of them do. The variation in effects between them is pretty minor.
4) Lithium is an exception. We really don’t know how it works, but it seems to do a good job of keeping people from attempting to self-end, and as it has been around for 150 years or so, to one extent or another (in its current use for over 50), we know what the bad effects are and how to minimize them. It should probably be prescribed more often.
5) Stimulants for ADHD are a whole separate category. Everything else; anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia; tends to bleed into eachother and produce fuzzy diagnoses with similarly vague treatments, but ADHD and stimulants are distinct. Still, a stimulant for ADHD should be considered part of psychiatric drug burden.
6) Prozac and Valium have very long half-lives and are therefore useful for tapering off antidepressants and benzodiazepines, respectively. Stopping ANY psychiatric medication should be done as slowly and carefully as practically possible; these things can hit you hard coming AND going! 🤕
Bonus fact: Clomipramine is the gold standard of treatment for OCD, and should definitely be prescribed more often specifically for that condition. High doses are often required. 🤓
Well done,kudos.
Most of them should be banned they are brutal to come off. 25 years being flat is cruel.
You say valium is useful for tapering off benzos. Valium IS a benzo. And dreadfully difficult to stop.
You can have side effects from just one benzo.
And as for your idea of people having one Valium a month: not a good idea. You underestimate the addictive nature of Valium.
