Psychology vs. Psychiatry

Be My Friend - http://www.myspace.com/psychtruth Dr. John Breeding, Ph.D. psychologist discusses the difference between psychiatry and psychology. Psychiatry focuses on medical or physical interventions such as drugs, electroshock therapy, deep brain stimulation by electrode, psychosurgery, etc. This is the model of biological psychiatry. Behavior problems are considered to be actual medical illnesses with physical causes despite the fact that after over 100 years of attempts to identify a physical cause for mental illness, there are still none. Often time people are given antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin. SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. These medications often time have horrible side effects like agitation and sexual dysfunction. Psychology by contrast acknowledges the potential of behavior problems being learned responses which can be corrected with therapy and communication, education and understanding. There are no cures in psychiatry. Psychiatric medications only suppress or inhibit symptoms of behavior problems. This creates long term mental health consumers who take expensive drugs but never fully recover from their difficulties.

Dear all, First of all let me appologize for the follwong question which i am sure will sound extremely naive and perhaps somewhat distrubing, but I still never got the right answer: CAN INTELLIGENCE AND MORALITY BE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED WITH ADULTS AND HOW, ACCORDING TO MODERN PSYCHOLOGY AND/OR PSYCHIATRY?

psychetruth (Tuesday 2nd of December 2008 07:37:04 AM)

Most schools of psychology and psychiatry deal with the treatment of mental disorders and not the overall improvement of the individual. One does not see psychiatrists if he wishes to improve his intelligence or morality. Some schools of psychiatry are antipathetic to moral improvement due to the Nihilist philosophy of some psychiatrists. There are a handful of positive schools of psychology such as humanistic psychology and transpersonal psychology that deal with improvement.

See video, "Back Ass Crazy Mental Health System, Mind Control Report" and then follow the video responses for a whole series of videos on humanistic psychology.

Per PubMed, BIPOLAR may be a cynical fraud+hoax to explain justify excuse encourage: vicious boastful selfish immoral deceitful unreasonable irrational antisocial vindictive self-centered cruel vile/evil behavior+lies, to get kicks/sympathy/drugs/attention/welfare. Shrinks collaborate. WARNING: If bad luck brings a bipolar to you: save time, money, grief, your own sanity - RUN! Now. Shun them forever. You can't fix them; they are hooked on being what they are. Find those worthy of your kindness

I was thinking about Psychiatry. After the faculty of Psychology, I will see that specialty :).

this is false. you cannot generalize a profession in this way.

energyeternal (Saturday 15th of November 2008 08:04:29 AM)

the distinction is not as cut and dry as this video would lead you to believe. psychopharm will be an extremely small part of my practice as a psychiatrist. i have worked with many psychiatrists that rarely ever prescribe medications. are they in the minority? presently they are - mostly because of systemic factors that incentivize medical management over true care. this problem permeates all fields of medicine as HMOs and managed care aim to increase profits to the detriment of patient care.

Personally, I believe the purpose of our life is doing good and prevent evil.. Being someone who is useful to those around him.
