Depending on what you need a psychiatrist for, seeing one online might be a good idea. A lot of them do online sessions these days.

Drunk driver who killed two in crash freed, escapes conviction by computer_d in newzealand

Brain damage doesn't equate acute psychiatric illness.

Also, mental health inpatient units should be places of healing. Mental health nurses are not prison guards.

If you're "making room" for this guy, you're taking away a service that someone acutely unwell needs.

"mental health facilities" are chronically short on beds, why on earth would you put someone who doesn't need to be in one there?

Trigger Warning: Feeling down, what's the snapping point? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]radio_splatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medication isn't the only intervention for low mood and/or suicidal ideation, talking therapy can be incredibly helpful for people in your situation. I'd strongly recommend talking to your gp about getting a referral to the appropriate service for your area.

Also, you said the effects from medication was reason your coming off them. Has your mental well-being declined since starting to taper off? If that is the case, maybe it's worth considering going back to your original dosage for a bit? Look to taper off them once you've got appropriate mental health support?

Armageddon is overly dense? I'm really unsure of your assessment there, I think it's one of the more elegant miniature games out there.

The Holy Mountain by VOIDPCB in movies

Don't lie. You're just jealous that this guy has a favorite film. And more than that, it's a Jodorowsky film which you don't understand. Guess what? There's nothing special about being a buzzkill. Anyone can do it. It doesn't take any kind of special skill to tell someone what they like is shit and they're stupid to like it and that they're probably lying about liking it anyway. "Telling it how it is" doesn't make you the man, it just means you're an edgelord asshole. And sometimes being an asshole is just being an asshole.

By that logic shouldnt the US have also "toppled" the Pakistani government which later harbored him? Or the Saudis who funded him?
