How much better the money my fatherâs health insurance cashed out to finance their pseudo-science would have been spent sending my increasingly despondent mom on a vacation.  An emergency "mental-wellness holiday"! Just THINK what a precedent that would set for the medical industry. Without crazy-making Psycho Professional's testing out their concoctions & dosages, ie. experimenting, on you, well, one might actually be able to recover, even from the deadly grip of Depression ! Just look at how Fucked Up Brian Wilson was under the stuporvision of his trusted pshyciatrist. They'd love to keep you doped up & psychologically dependent upon their *cure*. If they can get you to believe you can't LIVE without them, they're into you for LIFE ! Yet, it's only TERMINAL if you kill yourself.

You'd think that 8 years of mind shrinks & head medicine from renowned UCLA Med. Ctr. ought've been sufficient, if it worked.  Hell, she was DEPRESSED, for crissakes. She wasn't "Sybil" ! Ahh, but there is big bu$ine$$ in mental "Illne$$" for DRs. Stupor, MD & Psycho Shyster, PhD. Where's the moolah in mental "Wellness"?
Eight years with a crack team of Mad Science Majors over- & (obviously) incorrectly medicating a person whilst telling them that, based on a general outline in the DSM IV, you are textbook Basketcase would drive any sane person over the edge !

           I can only hope that there is, in fact, a parallel universe somewhere where "Herr Doktors," & their mental ilk are stuck in service positions in some Dog-forsaken Mid-Nowhere truck stop earning $2.13 an hour, plus ãtipä ! Imagine, all oâ the psychiatrists & pharmocologists would be forced to seek honest labor say, in hotelery, or tourism, or - heh, Drug-Peddling !
           And children donât have to grow up wondering what is a ãchemical imbalance in the brainä only to find out as adults that the powers that be canât fully define what that means, Îcos they donât fully understand how the brain works themselves ! Itâs not like they can take a sample! 
          ãAh, yes, according to the results of our tests, you are not getting enough (insert neurotransmitter here). Therefore, on the advice of the pharmaceutical companies with which we are in bed, we are happy to inform you that we will be placing you on (insert prescription poison here) for the rest of your LIFE.ä Naturally, that will mean you have to see a shrink for the rest of your life to have your prescription filled. Quite a profitable situation for them, no ?
