Dear Health Central

Thanks for your work to undercut the domain of Psychiatry over us mere mortals.

YOU might like to consider adding to a campaign to 'rebadge' so-called "Mental Illness" as "Behavioural Illness". 

Psychologists treat people with behavioural issues with cure in mind ?  Psychiatrists make out you are PERMANENTLY MENTALLY ILL FOR LIFE.  Whatismore the General Practitioner Community perpetuate the situation they have even started OFFERING the COLOURED SWEETS.

Let's BUST a PROFESSION WIDE OPEN.

The profession which CONFUSES people displaying HYPOMANIA and HYPERMANIA ... the line between genius and madness ... being more tired causes one to become psychotic .. the requirement necessary to SECTION and DENY one's FREDDOM.

It is ONLY HUMAN that our behaviour changes from time to time.  How we sleep, how we eat/consume and particularly how and what we drink has a massive effect on our mood and feelings and behaviour.  Dehydration and lack of salt are key ... as I eventually discovered in September 2007, Lithium eventually DRAINS BOTH !!!!

Witness also how the behaviour of a diabetic changes with sugar level.

At an extreme when we are enormously stressed .. more often than not by people around us .. and so-called caring partners or other CARERS .. who can be the ABUSERS ..... then our behaviour becomes very difficult for us to control. 

In this situation we are OFFERED COLOURED SWEETS to help .. however the "Trick Cyclists" .. as we ought to call them who provide them do so and make out this can be for LIFE .. that way THEY stay in a JOB as do their SPONSORS the coloured sweet manufacturers.

So Fred Goodwin's hallowed Bible is actually a STUDY of BRIGHT, MEGA STRESSED people and THEIR BIOLOGY.

This is NOT to say that many psychiatrists are not caring people trying to do their best in situations they have difficulty understanding.

That is also NOT to say that some drugs are not useful in alleviating things once they get to an extreme.  Perhaps the best is Seroquel.  I have a very very active mind and even now if sleep is a problem, particularly if I am flying, then a half 25mg tablet works wonders to maintain a healthy sleep pattern.  However, high doses need to be moderated/titrated down quite quickly as STRESS levels are lowered .. otherwise we have an addiction developed.
 

I could write a book if I had time .. which I don't. Rather than a book, articles in NY Times may suffice better if you or someone could help engineer it !!

DEPRESSION IS a natural reaction of the Human Species to ISOLATION and/or ENERGY DEPLETION.  A HIGH is a Natural Reaction to STRESS and CHALLENGE when metabolism speeds up .. if NOT FED by INCREASED FOOD INTAKE, it eventually results in a NATURAL DEPLETION OF ENERGY and a CRASH.  Familiar to many so-called Bipolar-Minded people. 

Again please plug the Bipolar-Minded people way to address such afflicted people.

Often this aspect of Bipolarity is linked to a very active mind.

Indeed, Junior Bipolar or ADHD as it is termed is because the kids are BRIGHTER than the teachers.  Drugging with SWEETS is NOT the answer.  We need to give these kids the creative environment to thrive. 

INDEED this DRUGGING with COLOURED SWEETS (poisons) eventually makes us even more ill AND CHANGES the PERSONALITY   ... that IS when we really end up in HELL.
