Cornellius Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 The song is "about" Salbutamol, an anti-asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease medication. It is marketed as Ventolin among other brand names. This information is from Wikipedia.org. Asthma meds have little to do with psych meds in terms of effects, except for its standout side effect of Tinnitus, "a high pitched ringing in the ears" that's not uncommon in subjects, which are a nice metaphor for the subtle, sustained brain grilling that antidepressants and antipsychotics and such stuff can bring about. Zoloft doesn't just put you to sleep when you're at work. It's screeching and working hard in there. I hold as a crime their attempts to put me on meds instead of being honest about the possibility of self-knowledge. With every one of those evil public sector therapists, it's the same thing. They bring me to their office, they babble on about how great they are, trying their best to play with your unconscious and keep you there. Soon the psychiatrist, without even trying to make any sort of diagnosis, comes up with "hey, if I had a magic wand, I'd use it to make you better, but what do you know, I don't have one, so we're going with brain numbing pills. See you in a month sucker." So what, self-knowledge is a superstition?!?! Even the psychologist doesn't give a frick. With the internet, eventually you do start to get into self-knowledge, and then you're stupid, so you bring it up with the so-called mental health professionals, and all they do is pretend they get it. They got you by the balls. Now they're free to take all the complexities you've been working on and with their authority, destroy where it's coming from, passing off your catarsis as their magical work.
Kawlinz Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I've loved a lot of Aphex's work, and I share your sentiments about most mental health care professionals. I may have mentioned this before, but I went to two therapists appointed by doctors, and even before they hear any of my concerns, they're talking about the drugs she's recommending for my symptoms. And great excerpts like: Me: I have problems with compliments MHCP: Just accept them Yep
