What does the word psych mean to you?

• - to me its means fool, or in someway blur reality. Refer to the Superman movie part 2 when Superman is fightinig Zod and the other 2. When Superman was beating them, Zod said Psyche him! The base word of psychology- psych therefore is to fool. So called group therapists in places Like Laurel Ridge Texas loop 1604 west use body movements and slang to reap out information of you that is none of their business and "draw fouls" so they can sit on you with their guards and shoot you with Thorazine, Halodel or some other drug, even just one shot makes them money. This is the way of the devil, this is Psychiatry, this is Laurel Ridge.

• Answer:

  The base words of psychology are "Psyche" meaning soul and "logos" meaning science. So psychology is the science of the soul. It is Latin and has no reference to fooling anyone. The psychiatrist, psychologist and other mental health professionals at the mental health facilities are educated to assess both your verbal and nonverbal signals, this is for the safety of the patients and the staff, and most importantly to assist the patients in improving. As far as Laurel Ridge Treatment Center, most of the patients are voluntary admissions, and are short term patients who are in to stabilize them on medications and to set up a counseling support system in the community. Those who are admitted without consent are allowed to discharge themselves if stable and not considered a threat. Additionally, they do not have guards who are standing by to sit on patients, they do however have mental health techs who assist the psychiatric nurses, and may hold a patient temporarily for medication if they are unstable. It should be noted, that at no time does that facility ever use physical restraints, such as wrist and ankle restraints or bed jackets, as often seen on TV and in movies. I'm sorry if the writers from Superman do not understand Latin, or how to use the words properly, but that does not change the purpose of psychology. I would venture to say, that people who are having periods of stress in their lives are likely to misinterpret the situation in which they find themselves. It is also significant that people who are on psychiatric units frequently have delusions regarding religion or the Devil, and often equate life with movies. I'm sorry you have been stressed by your situation.
