What's with all these bi-polar people?

Well, that last sentence doesn't make any sense and that is because I was rash with the edit. Obviously I do not reject science.

Then why do you reject psychology and more importantly psychiatry? That's science, the drugs they perscribe DO have an impact, they do treat real symptoms and they do provide help.

I find that most people who reject those sciences are either #1 in denial #2 don't fully understand them or #3 they are scared of them.....which are you miles?


I grew up never believing in all that stuff either, but I've seen it in action, I've had life experience, and although I am 100% on board with Personal Responsibility and not blaming problems on a mental disorder or chemical imbalance or whatever sometimes you can't help but explain/treat/handle things through those fields of science.

This was the apparently boring idea I was exploring. Miles claims to be purely a man of science yet objects to the administration of drugs to restore chemical balance because of some commitment to the idea of a natural self, i.e an individual's personality that should for some reason he can't explain be free of chemical contamination, even though all the mind is is the product of chemical interactions.

Anyway I don't want to stop CFH from feeling able to contribute due to the noxious content of my post so I shall stop here.
