The Pharmaceutical companies and physcians who give these drugs to people should be locked up. Psychologist would rather give you a pill than talk to you.
Psychiatrists are the ones that tend to use pills. Psychologists are the ones who talk to you.
In their defense, I'd rather give a pill than talk to MOST people.

Schizophrenia is very difficult to detect in its early stages. Hallucinations and voices are a definitive symptom. My sister was misdiagnosed for almost 30 years by psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists. She was finally (correctly) diagnosed as a disorganized (non-paranoid) schizophrenic by Mayo Clinic.
Mayo was able to sort out her true symptoms from ones caused by improper medications. Mayo did this all in ONE DAY using a a team of pychiatrists, psychologists, and neurologists. I cried when my mom showed me the ONE SENTENCE diagnosis on the letter from May. The doctors at Mayo were very caring and dedicated—and still are. (Thank God for good health insurance.....LOL)
My sister is now receiving the proper medications. For the first time since the schizophrenia began, she has a decent quality of life, is happy, and (with medications)has learned to not listen so much to the voices.
Yes, there are bad psychologists/psychiatrists who don’t really care about helping a patient. But I believe most do want to help their patients. I also thank God every day for the pharmaceutical companies!!! They aren’t perfect, but they’re an industry which has indisputably contributed to the health and well-being of ordinary people.
Big Pharma also should be included in the justice institution of the state.
Psychologist cannot give pills. They can only do talk therapy. Psychiatrist are medical doctors that can prescribe pills.
