Granted, there are alot of fake disorders thought up to bring in more cash for the beast, but there are quite real monsters that do exist.
This is a 'must verify'.
I’ll have my voices contact your voices.......They can do group therapy!..........
The conclusions offered are an embarrassment.
They might collaborate.
That would be bad.
No, the guy is a stupid liar.
You are correct. The author is ignorant, and is using his false religion of scientology as a tool to lie to as many people as possible, and the poster of this thread appears to be one of his guppy minins trying to spread the word. Kooks.
I did a google - I see they speak favorably of him in the Scientology publications.
I have a friend that is bi-polar. She is extremely bright but when she was on no medication she could not find her way in the back door around a small table that was in front of the entrance. I observed he go on a manic phase. She took a bath at my house and tore up my towels because she could not find a washcloth. They were beside the towels. She attended a wedding reception and went to the hospital in one city and then used the ambulance for a taxi cab from that city hospital (about 20 miles away) to the next to get to her Dr. I don’t profess to know the answer to these peoples problems but I do believe there are way too many people diagnosed as bi-polar when in actuality they are just plain hyper people that have not learned to put to work in a constructive way their highs and take the rest when it comes. In other words, control over ones mind and actions. This is only my perception certainly not pretending any knowledge.
Trying for a pre-emptive innoculation :)
Let's hope it works. :)
Without intending to quarrel with you, your “they are simply hyper people” is a pretty gross oversimplification.
I could likely curl your hair with some of the stories I have collected over the last 10 years of dealing with my on the meds/off the meds bipolar mother.
Ripping up towels to make a washcloth is not the act of a hyper person.
For future reference, if you want to be taken seriously, it’s probably best not to cite the works of a psycho nutcase scientologist (sorry for being redundant).
Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. If don’t want flak about scientology, stop posting their tracts.
"Certainly there are chemical aspects to a panic attack, because we are literally made of chemicals; and the use of certain chemicals in medications can help some, though not all, people. But, in my opinion, panic attacks are not simply the product of a "chemical imbalance". Here's an exercise to help you see why not.
On a piece of paper, write down five situations in which you feel almost sure you would have a panic attack. Maybe this would include highway driving; flying; a crowded grocery store where the air conditioning has failed; and so on. Now write down five situations in which it would be practically impossible for you to have one.
Pause here and make your lists. When you're ready to continue, scroll down.
Did you make your lists? One with situations practically guaranteed to produce a panic attack, and one with situations that probably can't lead to panic at all? Okay. My question for you is this.
How do the chemicals find out where you are?
It’s not - try doing some research beyond the end of your nose. There are an amazing number of posters on this site who do no reading, no research, but post anyhow as tho they know something about the topic.
Read this site as just a starter:
http://www.antipsychiatry.org/
They say the same thing - and explicitly say they are not part of and want no connection with scientology or any of its organizations.
People who post threads want a discussion, not BS. If you have anything to add for or against the topic of this article then say so - don’t bring in irrelevancies.
They don’t “find out where you are”, silly. They are an element in the process of the body’s reaction to where it is, as discovered by way of the senses.
So what was your point again?
LOL - any politician. Some of the worst sit on zoning boards.
