The World is a Psychiatry Ward and....
Entering into the psychiatry wards and hearing the lectures one would wonder why I am not labelled a Psychiatric patient. Though my attendance is minimal, I think I can talk a bit officially on the subject since I didnt find any new thing in the classes, except definitions. Moreover I was made to stand for a whole 3 hours for 3 days as a punishment for bunking the wards n taking cases.
Beginning to talk all patients are so normal, more normal than us. But there would be always a reason to coming to the wards rit?. Its nice talking to them as most of them are talkative. And talks to the extent that it would be difficult to get to the classes after the wards.
After talking a lot and discussing and writing at last we took a history of a patient. And we concluded the immediate deaths of her relatives was the basic reasons for all her problems. But only when it was discussed in the class that we understood that the whole history is baseless. Many a thing constructed by the patient so that one would believe everyone is using her.. And the real story of a childhood sexual abuse is all where it began. May be because of the taboo and fear of getting abused we didnt dig that deep into her history.
And there were men who were normal till a day, after which he doesnt talk to anyone...Stops going to work..Walks naked in the house..and has delusions (the definition of which I was made to dictate several times, but actually I forgot). There can be delusion, hallucination, illusions, obsessions, compulsions, phobia, mania, depression, addiction and many more 'ion's in the name of the madmen who discovered it. The absurd theories which any insomniac would have written if he thought about psychiatry in the night.
Your mind can even derange to an extent no one would be able to make you laugh or cry or talk or believe a thing.. And people talking undiscovered words(people talking in unknown languages- may be as seen in Bible)..To one if you ask where his house is, he would reply- Kerala, Uganda, Britain and the name of all the places he know. For some a chicken has 6 legs and you have only 1 leg. And most of them talk a lot of philosophies which a common man cant understand. If approved they would have become philosophers, ideologists, scientists etc..only problem being there is no one who can think upto their level..If Einstein says there is 4th dimension its discovery, if someone else says he is mad???
For the most they think they have some kind of somatic illness, which we see actually..But our professors say thats the problem of their mind and their body is perfectly normal.. Then one would doubt whether both of them have some kind of problem actually. Being frank, there is no lack of sadists in the department..
If you doubt whether you have locked the door, or turned off the taps then you have obsessions -OCD.. and if you become excited you are maniac...and sad you have depression.. there may be grades to separate you from the patients..If you think about studies a lot, you have something wrong..and if you talk more your mind may be deranged and the reverse too...And if you anyhow drink more than 3 glasses alcohol a month you are an addict..Everything is wrong..everyone is wrong...and only doctors are right....
