In Medicine:
>Break arm
>go to hospital
>see doctor
>gives you painkillers to help the pain
>wraps your arm in a cast to allow it to heal
>within a few months arm is healed
In Psychiatry:
>have depression
>go to Psychiatrist
>gives you medicine to make you not depressed
>still depressed
>have to trial several medications over a period of years
or
>go to therapy
>"there's no magic bullet"
>"only you can help yourself"
>"have you tried NOT thinking that way?" :)
Why is Psychiatry such an utter joke?
