>I wish i had healthcare/insurance to see a psychologist. I think CBT could help greatly. I don't think me on a couch, going in for hundreds of sessions, going over my experiences, and perhaps how my parents were growing up would do me help, perhaps just keep it at the front of my mind.
I think you're right about that. Hardly anyone has health insurance here because it's not necessary. How do you get it?
>I tried to see one in China, but it didn't help, you know why, psychiatric drugs, Celexa, I couldn't F-ING see her, I'm like, I'm derealized out of my mind.I don't think any kind of therapy is likely to help when you're so ill that you can't effectively engage with the therapy.
>karma integrative psychiatrist
I have to be honest Brian. I have no idea what one of those is!
>Peter Breggins writing doesn't seem that far fetched to me anymore.......
I don't think you'd want to see a doctor like Breggin. You need someone with a balanced viewpoint. I think that's essential.
>Maybe that's why ECT helped me more than meds did, as in theory, helps the brain "reset" itself.
I don't think Breggin is too positive about ECT either. Did you suffer any side effects from it?
>My Zen teacher lives in London now Ed, perhaps I should visit the both of you:)
I think you'd find me boring. I even bore myself sometimes. I wish I was a more interesting person. And no, I'm not depressed, I'm just realistic :)
