I've always thought that it's kinda not completely right that when you're seeing a pdoc or a therapist and trying to explain what you're feeling when, most likely, they have no experience of that feeling, they have no idea what you're going through, yet they are the professional who treats you. Just kinda seems a bit wrong.
So here's an idea! As part of their education, have them take an MAOI for a couple weeks, and then stop it cold turkey. They will then shortly be able to experience all the truly blissful feelings we all so enjoy just for themselves. We're talking extreme depression/high anxiety/psychosis/akathisia/hostility/aggression....I guess the only thing missing is mania...hmmm, we'd have to figure out something for that.
But I really think it's a great idea! It would certainly help them better help us if they could experience, for themselves, all these wonderful feelings we get to feel all the time!! ;)
