Woman assaulted in Bangkok gym after rejecting man’s advances (video)
fredwiggy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Again, since many who don't understand weight training and what happens when you work out hard. This man isn't that muscular anyway, and I, along with thousands I've trained, have gained muscle just by eating right and working out, without steroids. Blaming steroids for this is like blaming alcohol for what it does. It's still the person. Yes, steroids do make some people more aggressive. but not all, and there are untold millions of men who are aggressive by nature, who are loose cannons, will hit with little provocation, who abuse women and children, along with animals, just because they are pissed off at something. Look to the daily news, including today, with 20 beating one man with sticks, and you'll see that many who aren't on steroids will hurt others. -
People who have depression hide it from others, many being ashamed that they have this disease, when it has nothing to do with them but their family history. You believe that meds hurt them. I know meds have helped millions stay alive and live better lives. It takes experimentation, like guinea pigs, to find what one works. Many give up because they try one and since it didn't work, or things got worse, they stop. Many stop their medications because they start to help them, and they think it will last. It doesn't . The brain doesn't not heal itself if it has this disease called clinical depression. We aren't again talking about temporary depression which most get for one reason or another. The wrong medication for any illness will not work. The right one might make a life better. Depression does not go away, so it has to be treated, forever. No one has come up with anything besides some pills that treat the symptoms, and that's all we have now.

You would be very surprised if you knew just how much I have read on this subject. Daily, for over 30 years adds up to a lot of reading, listening and watching, from every author you could imagine. The fact based ones who actually are doing experiments, the scientists you would call them, the ones who listen to such scientists and write books, the psychologists and psychiatrists that evaluated millions of clients, and also the ones who make personal opinions because they watched a friend die using meds, or they tried one and it didn't work out, so they are against all meds., or they are Satan worshipers who want all people confused.

And millions of people, many of them here, going 5 against 1, attacking them in the streets, armed with sticks and machetes, who aren't taking steroids but are mentally unstable. -
Where the hell do you get everyone knows about anything? There are millions of people that do not understand about depression. Many of them kill themselves every day. The rest of us, without "proper" studying on the subject, will never understand what they are going through. If everyone knew that depression can be helped without drug intervention, explain to me the millions that are on meds now, and the millions that are still alive due to taking something for the "symptoms", as there is no curer. I will not watch anything you post, as I have read, watched, and listened to far more on the subject than you could ever imagine. Remember, I lived and am living this, with an ex wife, daughter, best friend, cousins, friends and a girlfriend that has depression or died from it. You go by what some person says, and debunk what others, who have written books on the subject say. What makes your person right with their untested theories? If they worked, the whole world would be off medicine, and believe me, you won't find anyone who's more against taking unnecessary medicine than I am. As for anyone else that's reading his words, please take them with a grain of salt, as clinical depression, at least now, has no cure, and people who have tried natural methods have only succeeded because it was temporary environmental or seasonal depression. It's always best to get a good doctors advice, along with research on the latest methods, before you start your own therapy.

No, I'm the one that actually reads books on the subject, and doesn't go to some videos to try to prove a point. Empathy is you actually feeling what they are feeling, putting yourself in their shoes so to speak. Feeling bad for someone is sympathy. You can't feel what she is feeling if you aren't suffering from clinical depression, which she obviously was.

Tell that to the millions that are still here after getting the right prescription. garbage science in your mind? Does this also factor in all the millions who are alive today because of insulin shots and heart medicine? I gave my ex girlfriend St. John's Wort when I saw she had depression. It helped just a little, and when she got on a medicine a doctor she finally saw suggested, she didn't get better but more agitated. The next one helped her tremendously. She had depression most of her adult life, and I saw a psychological she had done when she was a late teenager. It showed suicidal ideations. Her father hung himself from depression, and her mother had it bad. Our daughter has it and has trouble. There are natural things you can do to help with minor depression, but they don't work much with a clinical diagnosis. This is why a doctor has to try other things to prevent them from getting to a suicidal stage. My best friend took his own life back in 1987, way before most knew much about how depression could be treated. He would be still here if he had gotten on something to help with his symptoms, of which there were many. Tell me why you are so vehement on not using medication and say there are other things when you have no proof they work with clinical depression. I'm thinking you are lumping all types of depression together, which many do, not realizing there are various types and some do respond to natural methods of therapy. Some don't, period. Chemical imbalances surely do cause depression, along with many other things, like environment, a faulty mood regulation in the brain,and genetics, which is a major factor in a person having depression. They all tie together meaning somethings going wrong in the brain. Many people have tried homeopathy and ended up committing suicide because what they were doing wasn't as strong as the depression they had. Why must you post links to bolster your argument? Don't you see I already know about all of this, studying it for the last 30 plus years? There are many people making opinions on what works, with little results. What we have now is all we have, at least for now, until they can figure out what a person can take without causing more problems than the depression itself. Saving a person is the main thing right now, before they get so low that they think the only way out is out.

Actually Thailand has a very high incidence of mental illness, and nowhere near the amount of places you can go for help the US has. There are millions of teenagers suffering from depression here. Doctors here are quick to prescribe Fluoxetine (prozac) although this is only one of the meds available. Depression again cannot be healed naturally. When the brain has a deficiency, you can't put it back with food and exercise. The only thing that can be done, at least for now, is what was mentioned earlier. The huge problem here regarding mental health is thousands of children growing up in a family with no fathers, and sometimes no mothers also, raised by grandmas that haven't the ability or knowledge to do the proper job. Children without stability quickly fall into the drug and alcohol trap, which makes any underlying mental problem much worse.
-
There isn't any reason besides self gratification. No one here thinks you're a genius, because a lot of us do understand a genius does not have to tell anyone. My father had a genius level IQ and my mom was very smart. This doesn't mean I also have one. Close but no cigar and I know my limitations but couldn't care less. Some things I know a lot about and some very little, the same as everyone else that uses their brain by reading daily.

Blind faith is how many doctors work. No one knows what medicine will work unless it's tried. All they have now is these meds to help with symptoms of depression, as nothing else will work with a clinical diagnose besides talk therapy and treating the symptoms, which helps the patient get closer to normal. Right now, there isn't any approach that's working , and of course all meds have side effects, some of which are worse than the original symptoms. People are like guinea pigs but what else can they do?
-
Grandiosity is a symptom of a narcissist personality disorder. Telling others you're a genius shows some things. A genius doesn't need to tell others they're a genius. Smart people can tell if another is smart by the way they talk. Bragging about being a genius is a show of a low self esteem, looking for attention. Believe me, NO ONE cares if you're a genius or not. Not one. Telling others you are shows us you're not, because a smart person doesn't need to show off.

The study of how the brain works, especially in a variety of people, is still far away from being right on. This is why I said a doctor has to evaluate before he recommends a particular treatment. Of course many doctors are quick to prescribe meds without taking everything into consideration and this isn't doing the job intended but looking for a quick answer. This happens again with all types of doctors, who use meds as a band aid without completely evaluating the patient to see what would be the best approach. Some have taken meds and gotten worse, many have gotten better, and some haven't changed, so it shows everyone's response isn't the same, and should be looked at individually and continually evaluated to make sure progress is made.

From what we can see and have read, she didn't want him to train her anymore, so he should have left it at that and moved on. Nothing she could have said there should have made him throw her to the ground. Women and men lie all the time, and people get hurt by these lies, and it creates anger for sure, but one must show restraint, especially in a public situation. She didn't hit him, so self defense wasn't needed here. If she said something to piss him off, which might have happened, it still doesn't warrant throwing a woman to the ground. A man walks away, a boy's feelings are hurt, and he reacts from this by showing his anger. Doesn't matter how strong or weak he is, a man's strength is shown by how he treats others, and how he reacts when pushed. -
Thinking you are always right and others wrong, that you are a genius and having to tell others this daily, is also a symptom of narcissism. It's called grandiosity. If you're an empath, others will notice this. What are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder? Grandiose sense of self-importance. ... Frequent fantasies about having or deserving: ... Belief in superiority. ... Need for admiration. ... Entitlement. ... Willingness to exploit others. ... Lack of empathy. ... Frequent envy.

I think you, like some others, don't really read what I write, and just skim through, missing the details. I didn't say anything about reading science books. I read about psychology, depression, narcissism, relationships and the like. Science, to me, is the same as it is to everyone else. The study of the natural world based on evidence from experimentation, observation and testing. I didn't say you were mistaken in your view of science. I stated that psychiatry is a science, and that definition proves it. Please try not to assume what you know about me or anyone else in a forum. You have absolutely no idea what I know. And no, there is no cure for narcissism, even if the narcissist knows they have it. It's a learned behavior, from childhood, being either abused and or neglected, or spoiled by one or both of their parents or caretakers. The anger they get from this type of "parenting" leaves them with no empathy for others, and the only thing they understand is control or abuse.

I'm not confusing anything with anything. You are plain confused, gullible and without the proper knowledge on this subject, and are making claims because you believe in what a few have said, while facts speak for themselves. I go by facts. You go by what some people say that have had a bad experience with a certain drug or method. And the more you post, the more you are trying to convince me you're right, when you are only making an opinion garnered from what a few have said, not by the research that has been done and proven. Like I said before, try actually reading a book by a psychiatrist or psychologist before just nitpicking excerpts from people who have had problems by taking the wrong medication.

I've worked in , and worked out in gyms for over 50 years, and know many who take and don't take steroids, and the ones that don't take far outnumber those that do. I know that many use them, but all of them don't get roid rage. People are aggressive by nature, and anything can set them off. They don't need to take anything to be that way, although steroids taken by the wrong people can exacerbate their anger. -
You can keep posting nonsense all day, and it won't get you anywhere because, again, you're wrong. Drugs that treat symptoms of depression have saved many lives. Yes, like any drug given, some aren't right for a particular patient, so that's why a person with depression needs to be evaluated to see how the medicine is, or isn't working. Depression has no cure. if you think it does, you're as blind as anyone who thinks they're a genius can be. Brains work on chemicals, Six Important Brain Chemicals Serotonin. ... Dopamine. ... Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ... Acetylcholine. ... Glutamate. ... Norepinephrine. People who have a shortage of some of these experience depression symptoms, and some of these are debilitating, and can lead to suicidal ideations. You can find links where people have had bad results using a certain medicine, and this happens with all medicines, for heart problems, kidney, diabetes, prostate and many others. Without medicines, people will die, period. Some, because of their lifestyle, have hurt their bodies with abuse for many years, and for them, diet and exercise won't help alone, because they are so far into the ailment they need quicker results or they might die. I have been working out and eating right all of my life, and I still have joint pain and a couple of other things from aging, which most everyone gets. I rarely take medicine unless the pain gets to be too much, which doesn't happen much. Some people are predisposed to certain ailments, like diabetes, and for them medicine is a life saver. My son has diabetes at 34, and he's lean, eats well, and has worked out for years. It runs in our family. He needs his insulin or he will have real problems, as millions do. the same goes for the brain. You can't talk yourself or another out of depression. Talk therapy helps, especially if it's environmental, temporary depression, but some need medicine, and seeing the millions saved from taking it proof enough. The only truth in what you posted is that some psychiatrists might not be doing their jobs, and rely totally on medicine to treat a patient. Some don't bother to follow up with their patients and are lazy. This is true of many doctors, as those that over prescribe kill thousands of people a year. Your words, "Drugs will NEVER work, simply because the brain, by its very nature, rebounds and adapts and habituates and COMPENSATES." People can help themselves if they are depressed, as everyone gets it at times. People who have clinical depression cannot, again, talk themselves out of it, nor does the brain adapt and overcome the depression. It only gets worse, until they are in such a place where even normal daily activity is impossible. For these people, seeing a "quack" is necessary. You can call them names, but they have a job to do, and they are needed by many, as mental illnesses are rampant in society, and are a big problem in today's world, where important decisions are made daily by those who are ill. And you can keep looking up individual circumstances where some people were hurt by taking a drug prescribed by a psychiatrist that was possibly not doing his job properly. What you post means nothing, as they aren't but a few situations, and you aren't taking into account the millions of times people have been saved by taking the right medicine, after a proper evaluation and talks with a therapist weren't enough. There are risks taking all medicine, but without them many people will die. This goes for all ailments, both physical and mental. Advice like you give isn't helping anyone. You know little about depression, and even I, who has read thousands of articles and a few books on it, will never feel what a person with clinical depression feels. Some need medicine to help with symptoms that are making their lives a living hell. They can't prescribe themselves medicine, so they have to see a psychiatrist. They will , or should, be given a proper evaluation to decide if medicine is warranted, because some suffer only from seasonal or environmental depression, and this passes . Don't bother to post anymore links. I've seen them all before, and they aren't near showing what is really out there. And by posting them , again, you are believing certain people and dismissing all psychiatrists, who, like all other doctors that are doing the job intended, are necessary.And lastly, by saying, again, you are a genius, you are further enforcing the reality that you are a narcissist, that think all they say is all right and others are wrong when they disagree with you. This, like all I write, isn't my opinion. And narcissism has no cure.

Popular misconception by those who don't exercise with weights. Many bodybuilders, I included, grew larger muscles from weight training and good nutrition and didn't take any performance drugs because they cause damage. As far as the brain, it does take intelligence to build a lean, muscular body, especially without drugs. Some might say they used a trainer, who told them what to do, but that's a tiny percentage of all bodybuilders. Many men, this one included, have anger issues and hit women because they weren't taught they shouldn't.- 125 replies

You debunk what's a fact and try and find a link just to prove your point, albeit wrong. You're taking the opinion of an anonymous poster instead of the written words of people who have written many books on the subject. This shows your propensity for being very gullible and one who doesn't believe in factual evidence but has to argue the point to boost his low self esteem on a forum where most people don't give a damn anyway, or they haven\t any knowledge on the subject, much like yourself. Continually trying to convince others that you're some kind of genius is very sad, as it shows you are jealous of those with more intelligence than yourself. It doesn't matter how smart a person is anyway, unless they're contributing to society, just as Aaron Beck has done. He's written over 60 books to help others. How many books have you written? Who are people more likely to believe? Someone with a PHD in psychiatry or one with a PHD in bulls*it? Many psychiatrists have saved many lives prescribing drugs for those suffering with depression. Many times it takes a little experimentation with these drugs because not everyone is the same how they react to certain medicines, and the first one prescribed sometimes doesn't always work, nor does the next one and you need to evaluate the patient until the right one is found to help with their symptoms. Have you saved any lives? Your theories are wrong, and it makes you look more foolish in every reply, so it might be best to move to japan and find that perfect highly intelligent woman to take care of you, and while you're there, find a good shrink, because you definitely need something.
