Originally posted by AlphaStarred Thanks, Chimney. I've only taken Iboga once, and hopefully not planning to do it again. I now have to decide whether to pursue work and my Master's degree here in New York, or go back to Israel and be part of a community there, as I once was. The latter may be a healthier option for my mental and emotional stability.

Isn't that what fucked your head up in the first place?

Wait wait, so IBOGAS bad now and fucked you up in the head?

Benzos and weed

It was the cult-like place I was in, not the place I originally went to.

Originally posted by Chimney CBT is the best way to go about for anxiety. Period. Benzo-medication should only be used for small amounts of time. For your sake, Alpha, my recommendation is that you stop taking drugs which mess with your neuro-chemicals. Psychiatry is basically the medical part which deals with imbalance of the above said, so even if a treatment would work - by default - your usage only tumbles down its effects. My professional suggestion.

depends what sort of anxiety and wether it has a trigger. It won't do a thing if you can't actually determine triggers. So if you wake up and anxious, cbt has nothing to offer.

My feeling is that this is something you've had for a while. Some people have a over active amygdala. CBT works great for specific things that cause anxiety like talking to gypsies or having sex with black people.

I would just exercise and meditate and avoid drugs and just accept you are an anxious. person.

That's the point. Finding out the trigger and solving the problem. Regardless if it's reactive or endogenous anxiety.

some anxiety does 't have a trigger. You are just anxious. Thats your default setting. GAD is usually the term given for that type. At least not a trigger you have access to.

Your point being? What does this have to do with what I've said?

Originally posted by Chimney In all truthfulness, this entire 'mental patients are dangerous' has been completely exaggerated by pop-culture. I've done anamnesis on a couple of people suffering from antisocial personality disorder (i.e psychopaths) and they were relaxed as hell. Sure, one of them tried to kill his brother with a knife, but other than that, most were ok. The most dangerous - according to psychiatric guidelines - are maniacs (or bipolars during manic phase) and epileptics after the crisis due to confusion. Schizophrenics, which I�ve probably spoken to the most, have never exhibited any violent behaviour, although they were into remission and there was history of some stuff during psychosis episodes.

Am I serious to believe this? If so is this the answer I've so long searched for? I don't know yet if psychology is even a serious area of philosophical enquiry.

Anyway I was misdiagnosed after an illegal forced evaluation. That's another matter entirely.
