You told the poster that he could control it himself with his own willpower, and anyone with any kind of experience in psychiatry knows that is not the case. Now just knock the shit off. You obviously don't know what you're talking about. This person should be encouraged to seek out professional treatment.
I told him that he needs to exert a force of will to gain control over his own mind. Whoop di doo.
Do you know of a pill that can accomplish that?
You should take it.
I think you're the one who needs to take something, seeing as how upset you seem to be. The bottom line here, if someone seems to be suffering from a mental illness, it is not your place to try to advise them. You don't know what you're talking about, correct? Do you have a degree in psychiatry?
I am not upset about anything. Maybe you are?
You keep accusing me of trying to play the role of a psychiatrist but I have not diagnosed or prescribed anything to any patient.
You are the one who has determined that the poster was so messed up that it was dangerous for me to to suggest a little self control.
Are you a psychiatrist?
Are you a psychiatrist? I already answered your question. Did you forget already?
LOL... Slow down.... You didn't even offer me a drink.
I reserve personal, confidential, and classified information only for the people who bother to know me personally.
What in the world are you talking about? Obviously you don't have any background in the field of psychiatry. If you did, you would know that you do not give such advice, and that most mentally ill people cannot "will away" their symptoms. They have a chemical imbalance in most instances. That is why they are treated with medications.
Now, the only thing I said was that you should never give advice, except to try to talk them into seeing a professional. A professional psychiatrist will learn about the patient's past history, their medical history, traumatizing events they may have suffered, if they are currently or have in the past abused substances.
You are the one taking things "personally" here. Just knock it off.
