I sat down to read it a bit ago. I’m bored at work, actually have time to waste. I think it started off having a point. Someone was mad at someone else because they gave another person crap about OCD. Now, 7 pages later, I’m just confused.

Sure. I self diagnosed a month ago and wrote myself a prescription. Just send me a cashier’s check for $599.99 and I’ll send it right out.

Shit, I can go to a college dorm and buy it for $7/pill, price slightly inflated during finals.

I’ll take the whining, thanks.

Jeeze, I was just thinking DocCathode would benefit from some Aversion Therapy, like somebody hitting him across the nose when he took longer than thirty seconds to wash a plate, but that cold water thing is sick. I mean, not even Dawn works well enough in cold water to punish someone who isn’t done quickly. You really need to use hot water, especially for the rinse.
This, of course, would be in addition to proper medical and psychological treatment, like Alpha-Bits are part of a well-balanced breakfast when you eat them along with with a full, well-balanced breakfast.

all mental “illnesses” can be solved with vitamins and exercise. and auditing.
If someone will pay me a reasonable wage, I’ll wash the dude’s damn dishes. And soak them in bleach, set them on fire, whatever it takes to make him believe they’re clean. Then this can be over. I’m getting confused again.

Sorry, count me outta this one. Psychiatric issues are not in my scope of practice. I’m trained to recognize a lot of them, and work with how their symptoms and medications impact their other medical problems, but I no longer treat them. I send 'em to my psychiatrist friends.
Otherwise, psychiatric diagnoses are real, they cause a lot of misery, and they are treatable. And IMHO, they are probably overdiagnosed and overtreated to a great extent. But they are also underdiagnosed and undertreated in certain sectors and populations, too.
Ta!

I’m just piping up in here to say thank you, QtM. I’ve had experience with far too many physicians / general practicioners who have very little training and experience with mental health who still feel it is in their purview to prescribe whatever drug the pharmaceutical companies are advertising this week. It seems so rare to find a doc who’ll stick to what he or she knows well that I actually came into this thread expecting to see you being the expert. To see a physician admitting he doesn’t know something medical impresses me greatly.
