Can you reference to what they said? Seems the connections to the BPS group is correct, at last. Edit: I see you did on the other thread.

Thank you, @Joh!

Thanks @Philipp, that is very constructive! I seriously do consider to contact Gysi's office, BUT I am not sure whether he is the right person (he and his colleagues are into the (medical) criminal law...) and I am certain he does take a lot more than 300€ or so per hour. Hm... I came across...

Wow :jawdrop: I don't know the NICE system and their regulatories. But it could be a direction, to use their rules "against them".

Honestly, doesn't sound very promising. Actually they're saying "We do as we want...ahem...as the rules say". Sad. :( Nonetheless, million thanks to the authors of the letter and for being active!

Thank you, @jeckylberry, for describing your experience! First, I am relieved others know this, too. But then, what's disappointing, you don't know what it is, right? (Except @Wonko?) I don't have too much hopes in neurologists or neurological clinics; or doctors in general. :D but I'll try.

Here, https://www.s4me.info/threads/entire-issue-of-post-graduate-medical-journal-11-1978-devoted-to-me.2158/#post-39413 @Daisymay linked to a homepage by Margeret Williams, http://www.margaretwilliams.me One can find some documents about things Mr. Wesseley said, too. E.g. "Wesseley's quote...

Why spend money if you can create certificates all on your own?

That story is just hilarious! :laugh: the question obviously is who is the "sick" one: the psychiatrist or his "patient"? Reminds me of Freud, Jung, ... In Germany it's so easy to get psychopharmaceuticals, i.e. no false pretenses needed. :D

Yeah :D (Well, to be fair, there are certain interesting parts of psychology...but psychiatry is not.)

It makes me a little bit sad...seems all knowledge from the past is ignored and the wheel is re-invented again and again. This leads to nowhere. I also had this feeling when reading "Osler's Web". Maybe I'm too pessimistic here?

Well, officially you have to make certain certificates, e.g. study psychology or medicine (and then psychiatry). But those examples show you needn't study at all. :) You just have to learn their way of speaking.

No, this is not about psychiatrists as impostors - although it could be :D - but about people who pretended to have a degree in psychiatry and got - partly central - positions in a clinic. A TV part (ZDF) about Alexandra Beek who pretended to have a PhD and was a psychiatrist two years in...

You know, that is a brilliant idea.

Good luck with your GP, @Wonko. You know more now. Personally I think that's valuable and is a good foundation for success. Best wishes!

I would take "active folic acid" - is that folate? Ohhhh :bear: I take MTHF. Folate is one suggestion by the Charité ("things you can try"). My feeling was that the CRP wasn't too low (but not too high either...well). Probably it's not important?

I'd say a TSH of 3 is a bit too high. In Germany, the limits were changed some years ago. Now everything > 2.5 microU/ml is deemed as hypothyroidism, if I remember correctly. I also found 3,1 as upper limit. But to me, ft3 and ft4 look decent. Edit: You could think about substituting folate...

You need an account to use the Contributions, right?

You know, @ Philipp, what is really hard for me to understand, too, seems to be the fact we cannot do anything legally. I just can't believe it. I just can't believe you can't do anything concerning this: You are absolutely right. In general, in law, not-knowing doesn't save you from being...

You can determine the hormones that the pituitary gland produces: growth hormone (somatotropin), TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, prolactin.
