Long story

after almost 2 years searching for help I hate those people in the
mental health service... one women psychiatrist was just plain crazy herself
didn't even talked to her and I got diagnosis psychopath...( no fear would love that) then I got angry about her because she just smiled and said nothing after that I got letter home I suddenly got autisme... she just faked the whole letter with things I never said... we didn't even had conversation... I asked for a second opion a new psychiatrist there.... but he also just stared at me and said he had readed what the first crazy women psychiatrist had written , what a second opion my ass... and he also was just weird he didn't asked one single thing and after 5 min I just leaved.
the waiting times between the two where like 6 months or so...

So I figured out maybe I can try with some instution that are specialized in with anxiety disorders... I was wrong again... the waiting times again were months... like 4 sessions where only talking about the past... and finally we got started with the therapy and he just teached me relaxation breathing correct... 1 one session 1 hour... something he just plugged from the internet I think... after that I figured out they are only specialized in single phobias like height or spiders... just exposure therapy ... he wanted me to walk in the city and do exposure... it isn't that I can't go to the cinema or eat somewhere I do that all the time but my anxiety and tension doens't go down.

What are these people teaching at school ?
Either you meet a crazy psychiatrist who got in the work field because they aren't 100% in there head or you get teached some stupid things which I already knew but just didn't do my self just common sense think positive and relax... 6 years university... my ass


But now I got the problem I don't have a diagnose.. so no doctor want to prescribe me medication... so now my doctor has a good psychiatrist and can begin the all over again... but this time I don't want to talk anymore I only need my medication.

long story , someone else got some bad experience with the mental health service ? to me it just seems pseudoscience and nobody really knows what they are doing is correct and they themself know it

Well, you gotta remember that out of a whole class of doctors, only a few graduate at the top. The rest get jobs to.
I'm sorry you had such a ***tty experience. I'm certainly not going to defend the system. I work in a psychiatric hospital, & I see things I don't agree with all the time.
I had no luck trying to find help at first either. Did better trying to help myself.
But, for some people that are really sick, it's the only system we have. In the US, anyways.
Not everyone who works in the psychiatric field is a fake or a flake. There are folks where I'm at that genuinely want to help others, unfortunately, not all of them are psychologists, or psychiatrists.
I wish there was a simple blood test that could show exactly what kind of medication and dosages a patient needs, but there isn't.
The therapy system, & trial and error are unfortunately all there currently is.

I've settled on herbs , supplements, & forcing myself to do the things I need to for survival. It's the best I can do for myself.
Medication I tried had undesirable side effects, so I found herbs that have been working better than meds did, in my case.

I hope you can find what you need wherever you choose to look.

But how can it be so easy to put a label on someone I come there for generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder and they just say in my face oh thats weird how do you know you have that even my own doctor says I don't want to prescribe you any medication because we don't know if you have anxiety ... Why do I need somebody to tell me I have anxiety when I my self experience anxiety is ruining my life for the past 8 years.

Its like they don't believe it.... doctor says: talking goes to the root of your problem medication not good... talking therapy before you know it you talking about when you were 6 and your friends refused you to join football.... im sick of it can't work and all these people are refusing the right threatment for me and thats medication.. wish I lived it in the US I heard they prescribe medication like hot chicken wings at KFC
