• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

does the word pharmakeia mean all pharmacy. Including risperdal and cisordinol.

A doctor wants to prescribe risperdal to me. But i feel that it is not necessary since i do not hear voices, have hallucinations nor delusions (repetative thoughts, obssessive thoughts). Nor do i believe in telapathy or mysterious things.

The thing about these drugs is that it is a tornement for the soul. It emprison me in my appartment where i become apathic.
With out those drugs i feel like a normal guy, but with them i start to isolate and feel depressed.

The word pharmakeia means sorcery, and is connected with idoltary and drugs. The question is - Does that include psychiatrys medicine as well. I mean after all the drugs they have given me, i am starting to loose trust in psychistrist, and in some cases i see them as my enemies.

When people starts becomeing afraid of taking those drugs, something really wrong has happaned.

I'd say that it is those drugs fault people are ill, it is risperdals fault that people belive in telapathy, it is trilafons fault that people hear voices.

It seems to me that all those drugs psychiatry use inflict sickness and do not cure them at all. and what is worse is that it seems to me like psychiatrist knows about this but lie to the patient and those who deal the drug, and say that it is the best for them.

I am not sure though, i just have had some really bad experiences with those medications the psychaiatry gives me. And noone i have talked with seems to bother, or seems to listen to me and what i feel. The doctors sure as burning sulfur lake doesn't give a rat about it, and those nurses only seem happy as long as they have the mandate to jack up something a young boys butt. Sorry for my rudeness. but i feel so totally sick of psychiatry and the drugs they are giving me. And noone seems to take me seriously when i say, that those burning sulfur lakes drugs are not healing preperats but tools to tornement the person takeing it.

That is atleast what i feel.

But back to the point.

Does the word pharmakeia include psychiatric drugs as well? Does christian nurses or christian doctors take that seriously or do the waver with their hands and let it pass with out taking it to notice what Gods word says.

I am so tired of those medications and don't want to take them.

I am not sure of your history, or why he wants you on this drug. Here is a link to it. http://www.drugs.com/risperdal.html

Pray for Gods wisdom, and you know yourself better than any doctor, and doctors are known to over medicate and over prescribe meds.
Do all of the research you can and perhaps get a second opinion. Tell the 2nd doctor that these meds make you isolate, and not feel well.
The reason doctors give these meds is to do just the opposite of what they are doing for you, to feel better.

God Bless
