www.mditv.com — Psychiatrists use lists to define mental health. Lists that attempt to trace mental disorders to parts of the brain. Science historian Jamie Cohen-Cole says the change had unintended consequences. “Psychiatrists have been looking for more than a century to pin down the specific diagnostic criteria for the illnesses that they are seeking to treat. Part of the problem that psychiatry has had all along is that it’s a less scientific or biological science. And one of the things that the psychopharmaceuticals offer is a specific treatment for a specific illness,” says Cohen-Cole. Transforming diagnosis into a checklist has shifted psychiatric treatment from the couch to a prescription pad. And while identifying specific criteria for diagnosis means higher reliability and more scientific authority for psychiatrists, some skeptics wonder, what’s the point of high reliability if the diagnostic criteria itself is flawed?

Question by maslyn_jl: Depression?
I have been suffering from Bipolar depression for several years now…somewhere around 10 years. The doctor has put me on several different medications that caused me more issues (weight gain, fatigue and other stuff like that) that I could not handle. I have not been on medicine since I had my son 2 years ago. Things seem to be getting worse lately with all the stress that has been added since my wedding in May. I have an appointment with my doctor today to try to get something to help me. It has gotten to the boilling point where I can see my condition hurting my family. Anyone have any suggestions on what medications worked good for you or someone you know? Or any other comments for me…please don’t be negative..that is not going to help me at all..it will only make it worse.
I agree with all of you. I appreciate soo much your suggestions or words of support for me. It helps.

Bill – you are right, I am lacking self-confidence but I have had that problem all of my life. It’s not something I can just snap out of by myself. I almost wonder if at times I need people around me that feel like I do so that we can support each other…I am too embarrased most the time to tell anyone about my problems.
