I saw My Psychiatrist Yesterday

I saw my Psychiatrist yesterday and when I tried to tell him that leaving people isolated in the community was worse than having them in Asylums he said to me to try and look at the "Positives" He also quoted "Lord give me the Wisdom to change what I can change and........................the wisdom to see what I can't change and know the difference". He's a lovely man and his advice is quite sensible and practical but I would like to see things change so that people who are diagnosed with a Mental Illness do not suffer quite to the same extent. For the Psychiatrist a patients suffering is actually their "Business" so why would they really care about trying to PREVENT that suffering? Too many of our young people are falling through the cracks in our Capitalist Society and we look towards those people with anger, hatred and hostility and they look back with the same emotions. If we want a comparatively Crime free Society we should be tailoring work for each and every citizen so that they can have the dignity of occupation. I believe that is the KEY.

What I really think is that he is glib and PATRONISING and sits on his PERCH judging those that have completely lost HOPE WITHOUT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY they have completely lost HOPE.
