Sorry for the tangent, but I just wanted to write this in a tangentially related subject to epilepsy; psychiatry.

The amount of pill-pushing by psychiatrists towards uninformed mental patients leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. In my experience (for what it's worth) in any other health domain, be it treatment of diabetes or just the fucking abominable diet pills, people get an honest and on an "equal footing" consultation. You can probably imagine already where I'm going with this. Waaaaay too many times psychiatrists flatly ignore the concerns and requests of tangible information about the psychotropic drugs they're so fucking eager to dump on mental patients, and why should they? They're crazy, they're not competent to take any decisions, pfffft. Damn assholes.
I totally get it. I would be dead probably if they Hadn’t figured out that me spacing out wasn’t adhd or bipolar. Mind you they gave me meds that did a number on my liver and pancreas. But I alway tell everyone get a second opinion. It could save your life. It saved mine.
