After only a month on pills. My sexy drive and libido were gone. I quickly stopped and began getting to the root of the problems not just bandaids.

Thank you for this, I have just recently stopped taking my SSRIs (in consultation with my psychiatrist) and was experiencing symptoms like insomnia and dizziness, but had not realised that this was probably due to my abrupt cessation. This makes me feel better knowing the reason, so thank you very much.

The biopsychosocial model trust is so important, the effect of the therapy or medication.

In my experience, it's great until it's not.

Hello Doctor, I wanted to ask you if it is necessary for me to do a residency in internal medicine first to know how to manage patients or to do psychiatry directly. I'm about to become a doctor. I think I will be a good psychiatrist because I learned a lot about addiction and dependency due to a traumatic relationship I had with a narcissist. and I did a lot of research on my own about the twelve steps and also about personality disorders. I send you greetings from Argentina. Thank you! 😊

Hello Dr. Goertz was curious about the process of deciding whether a patient needs to be admitted into the hospital or not. And also how to know when a patient needs to be discharged? Thank you

I'am a doctor doing actually anaesthesia Residency. I always wanted to do psychiatry but i didn't get the opportunity to start a Residency in Psychiatry. I really don't feel like anaesthesia is the right thing for me. But In the same time the more I learn about Psychiatry, the more I feel like it's also not the right thing for me. I don't believe that Medication is the right way to treat patients. I don't think that someone's problem can be treated in dissociating it in a bunch of symptoms and treating every symptom Separately. I don't believe in psychiatric hospitals as a healthy environment where people can feel good about themselves. I think I myself will be depressed if I work in a psychiatric hospital. I already hate the Critical care Unit where The Patient is not seen as a whole, instead as a container of different Liquids that you need to control the viscosity, the fluidity, the balance and you can notice how the most of the time doctors will get impatient when they need to talk to the patient. I really feel like I have a problem with the Healthcare system in general and not with a certain field, this is why I'am sort of not motivated to change my speciality, thinking it will always be the same. But yeah since I wrote this Comment here , it means maybe I didn't loose Hope and I am searching for Someone who will show me the bright Side of The Path..

Rather than being a psychiatrist, I would rather be responsible for getting people a job or employment. I think that would be a lot more valuable, however I am really bad at finding good jobs. For myself and others.

Oh god becoming a psychiatrist is my worst nightmare. I believe in mental health as a concept but in a society that is highly populated the whole human connection component goes right out the window. I also believe it punishes people for telling the truth and expressing themselves. It can almost turn people into sociopaths if they are dealt with improperly. Too much bureaucracy as well.

Dear Dr Goertz, thank you for effort you put into these videos. It's very inspiring for me since I am starting my child and adolescence psych residency in three weeks. May I ask you - have you noticed any particular personality traits in psychiatrists that you would consider exceptionally helpful (or the opposite) for this career?

Doctor, I like that you are open to patients coming off psychiatric drugs and that you are acknowledging the stories of everyone here. It’s very good of you. Most psychiatrists won’t help with this. I’m not against psychiatric drugs but I’ve healed myself, meds free, after decades of multiple hospitalisations and altered states. I feel if most psychiatrists were to be open minded to psychiatrists like Dr Stan Grof, Dr Kelly Brogan and bipolar healers like Sean Blackwell and many others they could have greater insight into healing rather than managing their patients.

Maybe younger people. With Adhd. Again im not a Doctor.

I suffer from severe C-PTSD & Dissociative Identity Disorder along with Major Depressive Disorder & mild OCD (checking). I have a lot of suffering from flashbacks & abreactions that often resemble seizures. Other systems also make life very hard. Suicidal thoughts & feeling come up for me as a type of flashback & needing to escape my suffering. Therapy is very expensive & I can't go as frequently as I need even though I'm working. My mother died a few years ago & my father in 1993. I'm an only child with no family. Life is tough. Often I think I can't go on like this anymore. It's too much of a struggle. I also have severe asthma & life-threatening food & drug allergies & hypertension. It's too much to cope with alone. It makes life not worth living.

Hello dr goertz wanted to know your thoughts on mirtazipine vs trazodone?

What about coming off Perphenazine?

Psychiatrist tend to be psychopathic. When you start diagnosing and illigitimizing people's humanity and calling them a disease that is psychopathic behavior.

Could a psychologist become a psychiatrist ?

Althaugh i improved a lot the symtomes im still suffering from feel quite persistant and Strange Overstimmulation, weird sensations in belly Region, strange and changing breathing. The pattern of symtomes are a lot. And it does not seems that they go away. im really Searching for answers. I dort Trost my doctor anymore.

Thank you Sir, I am a medical student, and I would very much like to go into psychiatry. Your videos are very enlightening and they always help me, I have been working in a hospital for two months as a student. I often observe, that practically everything you have shared with us in the passed, does really apply and can be seen in for example working relationships and life in general. I have benefited greatly from your advice and experience and I always enjoy your videos. Thank you so much, and hopefully in a few years, I will be following in your footsteps.

I just do the understand what the other options are my brother is legitimately not there mentally anymore he had a bad shroom trip early this year and now he wanders the streets jobless and also looks like a mental patient. Every time I bring him to the hospital they put him on meds and he stays a few days until he’s cognizant enough to want to leave. We just keep going in circles and hes going to harm himself or someone else yet I cant get him into a home. He cannot be in society for the time being. Hes even stalking a female coworker.

нужно вводить ответственность за неправильные диагнозы и назначение лекарств. Ведь соблазн злоупотреблений велик из-за безнаказанности. Наказание должно быть сравнимо с незаконным оборотом наркотиков, или лишением свободы, с использованием служебного положения. Может тогда что то измениться.

For what its worth, a stranger on the internet appreciates your perspectives. Thanks

I would be ashamed to say I had what it takes to be a psychiatrist.

Maybe you could discuss mental Illness in the South that the slaves had called "Drapetomania " wanting to be free. I bet people under psychiatric control have the same disease. Thomas Szasz discusses this disease in one of his videos.

Anyone in a psychiatric hospital against their will would feel emotionally ill or agitated. It would be abnormal if they weren't.They don't know what type of hideous torture that will be forced or coerced on them. There is no voluntary treatment. Psychiatrist just makes them an offer "they can't refuse." As I recall first question on MMPI test is True or False I believe people are out to get me. Or course this would put a person up one on the paranoid scale. There was once a copy of MMPI test on internet. Psychiatry is designed to entrap and deceive. Psychiatrist really know how to destroy people.

What if living means living with spine pain, hip pain and leg pain that started when I was still in high school and only gotten worse since then. I'm 41 now. I was walking with a cane and able to drive working as a speed courier until I got rear ended at a red light that put me in a wheelchair 3 years ago. I Loved driving, it was all I could do without causing too much pain, I took pride in my skills of dodging so many crashes daily and putting down over 300 to 400 miles a day for 4 day a week and getting my delivery done as fast as I could, I was over skilled and way under paid but the money wasn't even enough to live on even while living in my parent's basement. Now It hurts like my spine is being crushed with each bump. My life just keeps getting worse and everything I do to try and get help or better, I fail. I don't just fail, I REALLY FAIL! I can't get any help from a doctor anymore, I was back in 2013 until I caught the "Doctor STEALING my Pills" while doing the pill counts and was cut off cold turkey in 2015! Ever since, I can't even see a pain doctor. I guess I should have just let them keep taking my meds because me saying just one thing about it and bam, I was pushed out of that office and told they would call the cops if I ever came back! So the only reason I'm still alive is because I have some older ladies that I would give ride to the doctor and once they found out how I was done, they started sharing some of their pain meds with me. Sadly, 2 of them past away and another had a stroke and was put in a nursing home. So now I'm don't to breaking one pill in half, one for when I have to get dressed and the other for bed. It's not enough but as of now, that's my only way of dealing with my constant pain. You made some good points but you haven't been where people like me have, its HELL, and once you live through hell, then you would understand better! Some like me, would rather take themselves out over letting the pain drive them mad and lead them to causing harm to others. I know too many ways to do harm so if I start seeing signs that I'm close to my breaking point, I have to turn myself in to a mental hospital.... Big issue with that is, they let me suffer even more and pump me full of meds that keep me docile but do nothing for my pain. They do the "lets see how bad he gets before we do anything" system of making me suffer with pain, depression and withdrawals! Sounds like a fun time huh? No doc, I wish you could understand what we are going through but until you have suffered too long, lost all hope and then get lied to by a doctor saying they will help you just to take your money and tell you "you can't have pain meds, you are in too much pain, here take this antidepressant! Then you will be able to help those people better. What to speak with me before I go back to the mental jail? Message me soon!

Please God take away the pain I feel inside. Please make me better. I don’t want to die, I just want the pain to stop please. Nobody in my life understands how intense the pain is everyday. I’ve had so many therapists quit on me please God help me

Psychiatry is psychopathic profession. Psychiatry is the banality of evil that Hanna Arendt talked about, and Stanley Milgram proved with his experiments. The state and the medical profession says its alright, even though other's have demonstrated that it's crimes against humanity. So guilt does not register in their brain. It's as legal as killing seven million in concentration camps. Hitler started out life unworthy of life. Now it's life unworthy of thought.

Psychiatric medication is complete poison mixed with a little bit of medicine. Take herbs and you will be fine.

We don't need your opinion. You cannot be taken seriously, psychiatry is a joke.

No scientific basis for your diagnoses. Get some real science in psychiatry. You know it's trauma based so stop this predator relationship with your patients

This is a wonderful video! Thanks for taking the time to upload. I’m beginning Graduate School this fall in Counseling Psychology. My initial plan was to pursue a career in Criminal Psychology afterwards and looking into Doctorate programs. I am starting to wrestle with the idea of applying to Med School and pursuing a career in Forensic Psychiatry. Do you think it’ll be purposefully useful to complete my Masters before applying to Med school. I’m 27 years old. Thanks so much for your insightful videos. Joe

What about people living on the street with children? I bet they are depressed. Shouldn't they be given ECT and drugs to combat their depression. What about prisoners, such as ADX supermax? Shouldn't 0:00 they be given treatment so they can be happy living in what 0:00 has been described as a "clean version of hell?" You know how much we care about "mental health ". These people don't have a right to be unhappy. They probably just having a "Chemical imbalance ". They need a balancer so they can be happy in hell.he'll. Maybe they could all be turned into happy psychiatric zombies 🧟‍♂️. "It's a brave new world!"

Other doctors will privately admit that psychiatrist are a joke. Psychiatry does not stand up to critical thinking.

Should the humming exhale go through the nose or mouth? Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful experiences. I also have experienced some synchronicities: not really spectacular ones but let's say several smaller events. I see these events as a sort of confirmation that we as human beings are capable of perception, sometimes with a deep level of perception indeed. Or just as a confirmation that we are on the "right path" for whatever that means.

Most lower level psychology problems would vanish if we simply had enough money to live

We live far tooooo long! Old,ugly and penniless is noooo fun!

I don't have this issue, but I have a friend who is living very close to the edge. He tried to end his life last year by overdosing on some pills. After this incident he was hospitalized for 3 months and had therapy, but I think that didn't work. His outlook on life did not change and he is getting worse and worse as time passes - asking the is life worth living question more and more. We have talked with him many times and I think I know why he is doing it, but not sure how to help him :( He had a very strong and capable father who he idolized and in the last few years he started thinking he let him down. Now he is already in his 40s, has no financial issues, has a great job, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't find a partner. The idea of family is super important to him and I think he feels that he let his father down by not having a loving wife and children by now. He is not religious but has a firm belief that by not having children all his ancestors lives are rendered meaningless, which sucks, since based on that logic he is the one who invalidates their lives by not continuing their legacy. We have tried to challenge this thinking to encourage him to find other meaning in his life or look at it in a different way but we either couldn't get through or just pissed him off. We also have tried to hook him up with girls many times - to fix the not having a family and children issue - but he couldn't succeed making a relationship work. He might have some trust issues with woman, because his mother cheated on his father which broke the old man and their family fell apart ending in his father withering away in pain. His mother is still alive and tries to contact him time to time - to leech some money off him - which further reinforces his idea of "woman not being trustworthy and only out to use and abuse him". Truth be told, most people in our friends group think that his mother is a woman with dubious character and not a very good influence on him. As his friend what can we do to help? I think if things continue the way they are he will probably try something stupid again.

Just watched a few of your videos and I am really enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I think you're completely WAY BEYOND IGNORANT.

What if someone is sectioned without any proof of them wanting to harm themselves? Can the patient just leave after 3 days? Is there any immediate action the Psychiatrist in charge can take to keep the person in there? Thanks!

Saw the title and knew the answer without even watching The answer is neither Ignorant field

Thank you so much for this.

It depends, not in my case.

Do you have any suggestions for an adult student who already has a business undergrad degree and a Masters of Education, who wants to go back to school to get another Masters in (non-clinical) General Psychology?
