    Yep, I have my own theories on everything! Sometimes multiple ones on the same thing... :D

    I think psychiatry associations and drug companies have a pact together--the psychiatrists make up conitions, the drug companies make up drugs, and then they advertise them like crazy and convince normal people they have a disorder. Then, both the drug companies and the psychiatrists profit. :H

    Sadly, I can almost see that. I strongly disagree with most psychiatric medication.

    I swear to god there starting to pull disorders out of their asses.

    Think about it:

    "Shyness" has become "Social Anxiety Disorder"
    "Moodyness" has become "Bipolar Disorder"
    "Sadness" has become "Depression"
    "Quarkyness" has become "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder"
    "Worrying" has become "Anxiety Disorder"
    And people with naturally high energy levels are now suffering from "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder"

    Did you know they're now saying there's Adult ADD?

    I'm not saying that mental disorders don't exist, but they are blown WAY out of proportion. 1 in 5 Americans claims to have a mental disorder. 1 in 5. I mean, really.

    It seems like some people are terrified of hearing that they're "normal".

    That's kinda true; a lot of them are way out of proportion. However, there are 2 different extremes with ANY sort of behavior. I don't think these extremes should be dismissed though.

    Psychiatrists charge between $40 and $75 dollars to spend fifteen minutes with you. They ask you if you have been taking your medication, how you feel, and then re-order your prescription. Speaking with a psychologist (who does not administer medication) costs more. Pretty sad.

    Yeah, I actually went to a psychiatrist my freshman year of high school because I thought I had ADD (I was never hyperactive, but I daydream too much). He gave me pills, but I didn't like them because I couldn't sleep. I would have to go back and see him every six weeks, which was annoying, because he would do just as you described. The whole situation started to feel pointless, so I stopped going. I taught myself how to daydream and still make good grades, so it's no longer a real problem.

    I didn't know psychologists cost more--that's fucked up.

    My theory is that the big bang and the expansion of the universe is only one half of a continuing cycle of expansion and contraction.

    (I came up with that idea when I was about 12.)

    Hate to tell you this, kid, but that theory has been around for quite some time. :p You didn't come up with it. (My dad's an astronomer).

    Yeah, usually the medication has side effects that are not even worth the help they may possibly provide. Antidepressants have been linked to suicide and other occurrences. Some diseases may be due to a chemical imbalance, but very, very few. Medication tends to be handed out almost as a lollipop at a doctor's visit.

    A.D.D - I remember being diagnosed with this as a child. It turns out that I had insulin resistance which caused me to be tired and lack motivation to do anything. They put me on adderall and I took it for a while, then realized I was better without it. I doubt that half of the children diagnosed with this disease actually have it. It is merely a way to calm hyper children down by sedating them. Parents should limit their children's sugar intake and see how much calmer they become. But no, everyone is out for a quick fix.

    I still came up with it, whether it had already been thought of or not. I even drew diagrams about how everything spirals together. I thought of it one night after watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

    Come on chemistry never did anything to you did it? In fact it brings us everything around us. It is crazy to think that everything is made up of these tiny little things and that they can be arranged to make other things. That just boggles my mind, which comes to my theory, Life is the ultimate craziness. When I look out the window everything just seems crazy, like grass. I mean did people one day decide that they wanted these tiny little plants covering their entire yard or did it just happen. Or colors I mean light starts out as waves from the sun and then they hit atoms which have no color and then bounce off in another wave that hits our eyes and then bunches of electrons which have no color into our brains and instantly viola color! If there was no mind to see color would there be color? Life is just the culmination of crazy experiences therefore life is the ulitmate craziness.
