stop.
when did they test you?
did they do a blood test?
maybe they told you it's on the other side of the blood-brain barrier, so they can't do it.
did they do a dna test?
maybe they told you that they don't understand the genetics.
ok.
but, where is the test of this imbalance? where is the chemical evidence? have you seen anything of the sort, at all?
you haven't, have you?
in truth, it's just been presented to you in mystical terms, hasn't it? some fucking dualistic zoroastrian bullshit, or some hippie nonsense about forces out of sync.
"you are angry because your chemicals are imbalanced. let us medicate slowly on the one. deep breaths."
hey, at least they're not doing exorcisms. but, exorcisms involved herbs, too, you know....

so, what does that really mean, then?
it means that if you want to do mdma, then you should just do mdma, and stop pretending you need it to balance out your dopamine levels.
so, you like popping pills. you don't need them, but you like them. and it's not such a bad thing.

saying "you have an imbalance, so you should take this drug", without doing any testing to determine the existence of the imbalance, is actually scientifically equivalent to saying "your aura is off-centered, so you should take this herb".
without an empirical test, this claimed imbalance is no more real than any other mystical entity. it's an abstract idea. an aura. truly.
maybe you're into this shit, but it's not science!

i've been in and out of these offices.
they talk to you for less than a minute before they start prescribing.
it's a joke.

that is what psychiatry is - it's a giant drug racketeering operation.
you go to the "doctor", who sells you drugs. these drugs don't fix anything, they just get you stoned, and leave you dependent on them, as well. and, that is the definition of a patient: a dependant drug addict.
well, unless an imbalance can be determined chemically, how can you tell you need help synthesizing this thing? you can't. nobody determined that this was wrong with you - they just gave you a drug that makes you high, and then asked you how you feel. and, you're high on the drugs they gave you - of course you feel better.
chances are that you don't have an imbalance at all, and you just like getting high - because that's all they did, was prescribe you drugs to get you stoned. it was never determined if you have an imbalance; it was only determined that you like the drugs.
again: if somebody can prove to me that i need something then i'll take them seriously. but, nobody wants to do that. all these "doctors" want to do is sell drugs to people that probably don't have anything wrong with them and probably don't need them...

i am willing to acknowledge that i may have a condition of some sort, but i am not willing to experiment around chemical approaches to treating it. what i want to see is a test that defines a specific problem, and a specific solution to treating it.
so, i don't want to be told i'm "bipolar" or "schizophrenic", and should take these drugs with an unclear mechanism for it - these are meaningless diagnoses and shots in the dark at fixing an undetermined problem.
i want to be told i can't synthesize a specific protein, due to a specific genetic mutation. and, i want to take a targeted treatment option for it.
until then, i will refuse medication, outright - because i'm not being presented with a useful diagnosis, or being told that the medication will fix an actual problem.
what is actually happening is that i'm just being drugged for financial gain, at a devastating cost to my personal well being.

the reality is that most of what we call psychology is utter quackery.
these diseases don't actually exist - there's no basis to test for them. if you have an infection, you can do a blood test to determine that you have it. if you have a psychiatric condition, you get five minutes with a "doctor" that presents a subjective opinion of your diagnosis, with no empirical basis whatsoever, and then prescribes a drug to address a problem that was never established exists in the first place.
so, let's say you think you have schizophrenia. you might imagine there's a way to test for that, right? a blood test? a dna test?
no.
the way they determine if you're schizophrenic - which is something that is claimed to be a physical health problem - is by observing your behaviour and then presenting an opinion on the topic.
there is absolutely no science involved in this process, whatsoever.
they then give you drugs that they claim are intended to reduce symptoms. but, without establishing a chemical basis of the symptoms, or even determining if symptoms are actually present, what could that possibly mean? again: let's say you have high cholesterol. well, they test to determine your cholesterol levels, first, and then give you drugs to chemically alter your cholesterol levels. but, nobody tests for a chemical basis of schizophrenia, so how can the efficacy of the drugs even be measured? what does it even mean to say they don't work?
this is not science, and it should not be treated as though it is. this should be treated like the quackery it is, and relegated to the dustbin of "alternative medicine".
if a doctor cannot give you a medical basis for your diagnosis, that is a chemical imbalance or a genetic abnormality, then they should not be administering you drugs.
at all.
