>>12497693I don't hate psychiatrists and I highly respect doctors that actually give a shit and research things, I however loathe any doctor that makes their patient worse off because they're retarded and/or have a superiority complex. My previous psychiatrist, while having some issues, wasn't retarded and my current neurologist/his NP aren't either.
I'm not doing med school because psych APNs still make a ton of money, have a far better work life balance, only takes 4 years of school (I have an MSc in another field and made a career switch but it's still only like 5 otherwise), demand is extremely high and so on. Given the scope of practice I'll still be a de facto psychiatrist but in general mid level practioners are really displacing physicians.
Plus regarding residencies, I already have enough disorders from chronic stress as it is. You can however thank a coke addict who slept 5 hours a night and expected his non coke addict employees to keep up with him for residencies existing in the first place

It's not about lawsuits, it's MAOIs had a lot of completely, factually incorrect hysteria and while you could have seen through the bullshit if you cared earlier, modern literature is overwhelmingly debunking all of it. MAOIs (parnate and to a lesser extent nardil) are both the most efficacious and tolerated class of ADs.
In the real world aside from shit like yeast extracts, cloudy beer and such, it's rare to have anything more than transient discomfort from tyramine consumption, and extremely fucking rare to have a hypertensive crisis. The wine thing is also limited to specific types.
Interactions are mostly limited to serotonergic antidepressants, psychedelics and such. Furthermore, although retard sites absolutely forbid doing this, concomitant amphetamine/methylphenidate use is not only safe but often recommended as an adjunct.
