Seeing a psychiatrist in the New Zealand public health system, could be the worst mistake you make in your life
Instantly, you will become a second class citizen and will be treated as such by the entire public service and police. You will be given a mental illness diagnosis whether you are mentally ill or not.
The reason they do this is because they are the end of the line, when other specialties have failed, or colluded, to find nothing physically wrong with you.
It is common in cases of adverse events to pharmaceuticals because no other specialty wants to get involved. The public health system have to label you with something, in order for you to stop using health resources looking for the problem, in cases like this.
Being at the end of the process, it is the role of psychiatrists to basically shut you up, and make sure you are refused healthcare in the future.
In New Zealand, our public health system, which is free, is a socialist system, which doesn’t even have the resources to provide any healthcare at all, to 10% of the population. The ASMS(Association of Salaried Medical Specialists) did research on this.
If you refuse to see a psychiatrist in New Zealand, a diagnosis and treatment plan will be sent to your doctor without having even spoken to them.
This helps explain our psychiatrists recent cry for help, which was reported on by media. Our psychiatrists had written an open letter to their governing body stating they are morally injured, and blaming every other specialty for it except themselves.
Reading between the lines, with their blame pointed squarely at every other specialty, it shows they are well aware what they are doing. They are ruining young lives and have a lot of shame and guilt over this.
Blaming every other specialty for their moral injury suggests there is something physically wrong with the patient and the other specialties have covered it up. Perhaps it was an adverse event.
The psychiatrist has two choices. They can either adhere to their statutory responsibilities, and write complaints about these other specialists competency, or they can turn a blind eye to what’s going on, and join in on the coverup or incompetence, that has been initiated by the other specialties.
Unfortunately this second option is the one they take, because complaining about their colleagues to the medical council is something that they just won’t do.
It often backfires, and creates a level of conflict and extra work that dwarfs any conflict from the patient they can easily manage, due to their position of power over the patient.
In essence, the psychiatrist has only one choice, and years of making this dishonest choice has seen our psychiatrists admit on the public record, that they are morally injured due to the actions of their colleagues in other specialties.
It was the only way they could deal with the moral injury, without making an official complaint which could backfire on them.
No one gets in trouble, the patient gets no justice, and the psychiatrists will carry on diagnosing false mental illness conditions, rather than confront their colleagues in other specialties, even though it’s their statutory responsibility.
