Hi Klo,
sorry that you were put through that shit.
can I add my name to the people who are saying don't go back there - get yourself a different T.
Again, I'm not trained in the field, but I do have a scientific training, and I'm used to dealing with uncertainty.
In trials set up ahead of previous issues of the DSMs, where different practitioners diagnosed the same groups of individuals, the diagnoses of psychosis only had about a 60% chance of a second practitioner agreeing with the first diagnosis
Those trials were with highly trained practitioners in a clinical trials environment, and things haven't got any better since then
There really is not any certainty there, and for a practitioner to pretend that there is certainty - is not ethical. The drugs that you were put on are not harmless - and unfortunately you found that out.
Incidentally - with dope - short of running big trials, there is no way to know whether dope induces mental illness or whether people who are having difficulties are simply trying to self medicate with the stuff
Same with the hard drugs - the smackheads on the street all have traumatic pasts, it probably wasn't the substances that got them there.
What the P was doing was displaying a strong confirmation bias - I wonder what he/she would have said if you had gone in with a sprained ankle or a nose bleed?;)
There is a network of "trauma centres" in the united state - can you do a search to see if there is one within easy reach of you?
or like the guys say - if you can find a small and professional team.
:hug: if you'll accept them.
