The truth can scare some psychiatrists. Rather than acknowledging it, they make the mistake of putting away the the sane and innocent victim because then they can sleep better at night.
The news is often bad, but, when they hear a story firsthand they just don’t *want* to believe it.
In other words, denying the truth doesn’t make your world safe.
I believe that most psych patients are in fact right.
It’s not that they are *crazy*, it’s that they are symptomatic.
Wouldn’t you be a nervous wreck too telling someone the story of what happened to you?
Also, hospitals make a tremendous amount of money off of a new admission.
A good question to ask is, If meds don’t work, then why prescribe them?
Finally, the doctor will change the patients meds and if the patient continues to tell the same story it’s not that the patient is right, it’s that they have a *fixed* delusion.
I’ve concluded that without solid evidence or seeing it for oneself, a psych patient is often not believed.
That goes for *regular* people too, but, moreso for the psych patients.
Best defense is to become wise and stay silent.
