My Psychiatrist said"With Respect you are Not Depressed"

Last time I saw my psychiatrist he said"With respect - You are Not Depressed". It seems I may be Bi-Polar and I may get High but because I do no "Look" Depressed I am not depressed! Never mind if I am writing suicide notes fantasizing about committing suicide or putting my head through a noose. Oh no! I was told that if I think that I am lazy I should change my behaviour and pull my finger out. I was also told that my present state, after thirty years of living with chronic mental illness, was nothing to do with Mental Illness. So Trite, so Glib, and SO CONDESCENDING! I think my Psychiatrist is a genuinely kind and mild mannered man but comments like that lead me to believe that Psychiatry is the Most Cynical Profession on Earth. Anyway - You can't loose. You get given an exceedingly generous pay packet to hand out drugs to your clients who are generally so DESPERATE and GRATEFUL that they don't care if the side-effects can kill them. And it matters not whether the patients are DEMENTED from their Mental Illness or the DRUGS they are given and who the hell cares either way because these people are nothing but a problem - right?. From asking for Shock Treatment because I was SO SO Desperate I decided that if my psychiatrist tells me I'm not depressed well I must be either DEMENTED or completely over medicated. So I cut my meds in half and I'm am pleased to say that I am half as DEMENTED as I was! I loathe being a psychiatric patient and I want Euthanasia accorded to me now that I can no longer cope with the inhumane prejudices of our Society. And I don't want the DRUGS so let me out of here. I've had at least THIRTY breakdowns. Where is the Humanity that expects me to have THIRTY more!
