Even if it took the Pdocs over ten years to get you there???? To remission? That is ten years of your life, it represents a huge loss, a loss of earned money, probable loss of marriage if married, probable unemployment. That means what should have only taken maybe six months max to figure out, took ten years, at least. To me, that is damages.
I look back on my situation and all the stuff I have could have easily been detected in six months or even under. Had my doctors "been on the stick," so to say. And I hear about so many other patients with SPMI (Severe and Persistent Mental Illnesses) taking absolutely forever to figure out what works for them. That is, IMO, ridiculous.
Also, there is the emotional and financial strain it puts on your family and if you are on disability, on the taxpayer. It just seems to me that psychiatry oftentimes does not work, but when they finally do figure out what it is and you remitt or come close to it, they act like it is just serendipity or something. And I dont buy that serendipity stuff.
Im just saying, these psychiatrists have a huge responsibility on their shoulders. And I dont think some of them recognize that, or care. So why not just sue'em if it turns out you have sleep apnea or some endocrine disorder after several years (or more) of endless, mindless psychopharmacology merry go round? Send'em the message, "dont play these bs psychopharmacology games with patients, refer to other specialists if you suspect in even the slightest other problems." If my Pdocs had been like that, I could have remitted in 1998.

> I certainly wouldn't file a lawsuit against any of my health care practitioners. Even the bad ones that prescribed the wrong drugs helped me towards recovery in a sense. They helped me figure out what drugs work through a process of elimination. (even if it was painful) Some of the good docs prescribed the wrong drugs too!
