hello all,
This man has lost a great deal of faith in the psychiatric profession and I would like to ask if people could venture an opinion on the diagnosis for the following descriptee.
He is 54, single, lives in London UK. At 2 he nearly died in a choking accident, though he never forgot a strange calm that had overcome him. He was very withdrawn, bullied at school and sought refuge in a fantasy world.
Alcohol at sixteen arrived like a saviour. At 21 cannabis, lsd, amphetamines, downers, and heroin followed in hot pursuit. He survived some heavy voilence and once had an nde with what seemed an obe. At 30 in rehab, he told them eveything and they said he was an addict so he prayed to jesus, sought the way, and felt suicidal. He saw a shopping mall full of psychiatrists, counsellors, healers and embalmers not to mention various encounter groups and soothsyaers. He has been on various tonics prescribed by his psych hospital for manic depression.
At 37 he returned to smoking cannabis which he believes is a medicine. At 38 he returned to rehab to make sure. At 39 he returned to cannabis where he remains to this day. He lives alone, and rides a bike to avoid people as much as possible. Is currently seeking employment as a hermit.
many thanks for any comments
