What a great way to start the morning with vulnerability. I’ve been thinking about getting back into therapy to figure somethings out more with assertiveness in relationships and work. Thank you for the words of encouragement and explaining that we are all human at the end of the day and that it could happen to any of us. it’s important that we help each other out when these trials do arise. Thank you God bless you Dr.
Hi Doctor. I'm a fourth year medical student from Brazil. I enjoy a lor surgery and psychiatry but psichyatry I can learn in my free time. It's fun to understand about human behavior. It doesnt look to me as en effort to study as another areas does, I'd like to suggest you to tell me and the international community about the process to become a psychiatry in the US. I'm aware about the USMLE but I would like to listen to you talk about especifically about your specialty. I enjoy a lot your videos. Today I suggested to one of my teachers, He's a award neprhologist with a long carrear, already retired about working as a clinician, he's only teacher for fun and pleasure with the work, to record his classes and post to the further generation of medical students. I think this model of spreading the knowladge can help lots of people like your videos does to me. Hugs"
TWO GREAT COMMENTS HERE YOU SAID!!! "What we've been through can help us to help others" - very true!!! " Get our own therapy do what we need to do for our own mental health that can really help us to work effectively with patients" And the latter is IMPERATIVE!!! because an unhealed healer CAN DO GREAT DAMAGE!
My experience: Patients: while some were obviously crazy, all of their behaviours toward me were okay Psychiatrists: hid their crazy better; violent, incompetent, manipulative liars To be fair to them a psych ward is an extremely traumatic environment and everyone would turn insane there given enough time.
Thank you for sharing your insight, Dr. Goertz! I am currently a final-year medical student, and I really want to continue my education in psychotherapy in the future. Are there any books that you would recommend for an aspiring psychotherapist? Any recommendation, whether clinical or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated!
A good start may be the psychotherapy section of Kaplan and Sadock’s Comprehensive Textbook Of Psychiatry, which your medical school library probably has.
Would you submit to electro convulsive therapy for $1000,000 or a Labotomy for $1000,000,000 . Psychiatrist Peter Breggin has said that ECT is a brain concussion. I understand they do ECT on children. Psychiatry seems to me to be a " permanent solution to a temporary problem." I never met a person that was for "psychiatric slavery" that wanted to be one.
"Although we may not know it, we have, in our day, witnessed the birth of the Therapeutic state . This is perhaps the major implementation of psychiatry as an institutional of social control." Psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz
I don't understand euphemistic term " Mental Problems " : Is that the same as mentally disturbed, emotionally ill, or mentally Ill? You can have mental problems when you can't do math problems.
It's astounding how ignorant most people are about what a psychiatrist is. They seem to think that psychiatrist, psychologist, and psychoanalyst are all the same and that you lay on a couch and talk about your problems. I was listening to TV newscast where the interviewer referred to the psychiatrist as a psychologist as if they were both the same. I've also listened to them make references to schizophrenia and not have even the least amount of knowledge of what they are talking about.
I know of two people one has Alzheimers and the other lewy body dementia. Can you imagine what they would have be going through if these real brain diseases were still mental Illnesses. Probably be labeled schizophrenic and subject to some of the worst psychiatric treatment, shock treatment, drugs and if was in the past, labotomies. This in addition to their real diseases. Psychiatry treats people for behaviors that psychiatrist voted to be abnormal with no biological evidence of disease. A very strange profession to give people drugs and have no knowledge of what their doing. Psychiatry is a Frankenstein monster.
It should be very easy to tell the difference between the patient's and the staff. The patient's are the one's running around like the wild man from Barneo. As you have describe in your "antipsychiatric video." They are homicidal, suicidal, agitated, depressed, emotional disturbed, and manic patient's. Really it seems like psychiatrist use the most extraordinary human behavior to justify their crimes against humanity. Psychiatric prey are usually children, old people, prisoners, and a confused mind. Also anyone who has had an appointment with a psychiatrist in the past, or taken psychiatric medicine. Why don't psychiatrist go after people like police officer Derick Chovan and the other police officers that were protecting his crime. Or Nazis, or racial hate groups? There is safety in numbers from psychiatry. Psychiatry is a criminal arm of the law. It allows the state to inflict cruel and unusual punishment and violate all human rights without responsibility. Psychiatrist destroy peoples lives without any accountability. Psychiatrist are such ogres.
What diagnosis would you give to a grown man that likes to go around sniffing scalps, especially children, and when at swimming pool would let little children play with the hairs on his leg? 😂 And has trouble remembering where he's at?
I don't know why we're not getting more people viewing your podcast. I think we're grossly underrated.
Thank you.
Our field needs more psychiatrists like you. Great video.
Thank you very much!
They need more like Dr. Thomas Szasz.
Thank you for this thoughtful video, Dr. Goertz. I appreciate your insight and frankness on these matters.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!
Thank you for your suggestion.
You and I are much the same person, except, I do not need any more practice :)
@@reddbendd Hi. I didn’t get what you meant. Can you explain me please

Thank you very much Sandra!
This is a great video! Very insightful for someone who is going to pursue psychiatry in near future.
Thank you very much Taleha!

Thank you very much Alireza!

Thank you very much! Peter Goertz
"Freedom gives you the right to be unhappy and not be molested for it. " Psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz
I was in the same classes
Thank you for sharing this.
The staff members and psychiatrist are the craziest. That's an easy one.
My experience:
Patients: while some were obviously crazy, all of their behaviours toward me were okay
Psychiatrists: hid their crazy better; violent, incompetent, manipulative liars
To be fair to them a psych ward is an extremely traumatic environment and everyone would turn insane there given enough time.
I think everyone is nuts except for me and Dr.Peter Goertz, and have to admit there are times when I'm not so sure about him either!!!!

"It's a brave new world 🌎 ."
I don't understand euphemistic term " Mental Problems " : Is that the same as mentally disturbed, emotionally ill, or mentally Ill? You can have mental problems when you can't do math problems.
The "Rosenhan experiment " would suggest that here is no difference.

There is much room for education in this area.
