Targets will drive anyone to madness. I leave my classes or workplace as many times as possible a day to cope with my stress. I go outside and have a cigarette. This annoys a great many people, and that's exactly why I do it.



Noone with an ounce of sense will ever admit to anyone what drugs they do. The second you mention any sort of abnormal intake it goes directly on the front of your folder in the form of a bar code. The old adage of 'what you don't say can't harm you' works perfectly. I was a fully functioning alcoholic by all means during my first year at Univ. Almost all of my superiors are still fully functioning alcoholics. What gets you through?

Not so much targets although they're fucking horrible (can't wait for the tory bastards to scrap em). More the understaffing, overworking, constant bullshit you get in the NHS with politics and pressure to do certain things like yesterday.
 
It is the same. You're just too dumb to realise that mental health issues are one and the same as physical issues they're just less understood in many respects. Many mental issues are PHYSICAL in that they involve the brain and something abnormal with it.

yeah, you try to compare your oh so terrible stress and inability to cope with someone that has fucking cancer and see if some grandma doesn't stuff you in a suitcase

Many mental issues are indeed physiological but most people can handle them, they don't whine that they'd lose their job because it's too hard.

And my point about 'fault' is that you can apportion none. People may get mentally ill of their own accord, something may precipitate it or something they have chosen to do may cause it. You can never put fault in any way because you cannot prove it. It's not a car accident where the facts are conclusive.

yet you still dodge the fact that many of those mind altering substances you enjoyed during your formative years can most certainly be directly linked to the mental deficiencies you're claiming as a crutch. maybe they had absolutely no impact whatsoever but the odds of that are pretty damn slim
 
I'm on Sertraline and Propanolol, Fluoxetine I didn't take. Amitriptyline and Citalopram were trialled unsuccesfully and the Sertraline has done the trick. :)

Cheers for the free advice.

Was proproanolol prescribed as a sleep aid or what? Have you had nightmares or night terrors recently? It generally always is reported with using prop. - takes a very long time to cross the blood-brain barrier and inflicts pressure due to this.

That's an odd order as well. Citalopram is generally trialled after multiple tricyclics. Amitriptyline works for fuck all but mild acne for fuck sake.
 
Also you're quick to jump on the 'substance abuse' excuse without realising that mental health issues can be a precursor to substance abuse or a way of dealing with that already present problem. Chicken, egg?
That's called being weak.

Wonderful. Do you bitch that you'd be unemployed if the government didn't pay for your cigs? Nope.

internet. i inject it between my toes

Probably because the squaddies don't have enough thought in their brains to think about their situation. :lol:

clearly more than you did, pumpkin

Ah yes, one of the many issues I have with the government in charge :fly:

Sleeping plus anxiety/agorophobia. Kind of generalised anxiety disorder-esque although she doesn't really label things so that's a half assed self diagnosis.

I don't think you know jack shit about mental problems. :lol:
 
Wonderful. Do you bitch that you'd be unemployed if the government didn't pay for your cigs? Nope.

I would bitch that my government is more keen on doping people than actually addressing the problem. Mental health is incredibly important. Talk doesn't cost anything, and is frequently the absolute CURE (not treatment) for most mental health problems.

As for actual mentalists - drugs aren't the answer either. The only reason they're doped is to stop being a threat to others. You'll never get better out of that.

The great problem with mental healthcare is that the subject must agree that they are getting better before they can cease contact. That sounds completely okay, doesn't it?
 
What Healthcare is "Free"? What the flying fuck do you think NIC is for? Even root canals require an anaesthesiologist on-site to administer hypnotics if required. Almost ALL wisdom tooth removal is now carried out at Dental units in hospitals, no longer clinics.

Oh, you WORK with them. I see. And do you work in a Dental practice? How many of your anesthetists are FGDP certified?

I sometimes go to the coffee shop. I don't know where the coffee comes from, but I like to argue with the person over the counter that it's from Colombia.

That's you.

There seems to be a semantics problem here.

NHS treatment is 'free at source'

NHS dental work is not 'free at source' unless you have exemption.

In a nutshell. If a working man has a medical procedure there is no charge. If a working man has a dental procedure carried out by a dentist there is a sliding scale of charges which he will have to pay. That is a significant difference between the provision of dentistry and other medical provision under the NHS. The vast majority of NHS dental work is carried out at dentists surgeries and does not fall into that category of more serious work which is not chargeable. I had a root canal on Monday BTW. No anaesthesiologist there. Very few NHS dental surgeries can afford to have one on site.
 
oh of course - why do you think I make a point of telling everyone I meet to keep their fucking mouth shut when talking to a GP? :lol:
How many alcoholic beverages do you consume?

How often do you smoke?

Any illegal drug use?

How many guns are in your home?

Is anyone abusing you?

Do pictures of goats give your naughty bits a tingle?

GAD was made up in the 1970's to sell SSRI's. It was directly corralated with a study nationwide in the US that suggested 60% of people had 'some sort of mental problem'. This could be ANYTHING. Insomnia, depression, stress.. Market gotta be tapped no?.

Propranolol has saw an increase in prescription recently due to its efficacy in getting over to sleep. I'm not so keen.

What's the extent of the confidentiality laws between doctor and patient in the NHS?
