Because of the work of Dr. Frank Ayd Jr., millions of people have been treated with psychiatric drugs.
Ayd, who intended to study pediatrics but ended up a psychiatrist, helped invent the medical field known as psychopharmacology in the United States, particularly the use of Thorazine, the trade name for the antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine.

[...] half a millennium after Descartes, psychiatry and neuroscience, just as much as cultural studies and cognitive science, seem poised to implicate the body yet again.3 The brain is the organ of consciousness, feeling, and all other mental activities, we are told, with all sorts of scientific evidence to locate consciousness, yet again, in an organ of the body. Though it has come as a consequence of the anatomizing of moods and anxieties, the many people who have witnessed the benefits of contemporary psychopharmacology are no less grateful for the elevated focus on brain activity in psychiatry and neuroscience.\n50 So, for Hacking, the issue of the embodiment of consciousness as it surfaces in the context of neuroscience suggests the problematic of 'I' and mind, whereas for Merleau...

The Federal Reserve Bank's recent activism in the interest of promoting psychological stability makes one wonder about the qualifications of central bankers. Perhaps they need advanced degrees in mass psychology or more accurately, psychopharmacology. The Fed's actions in facilitating the saving of Bear Stearns, and its "injection" of a great deal of money to dilute market pessimism, certainly underscores that trading the forex market requires an increased understanding of the psychology of the Fed. This should not be a surprise to forex traders. Current conditions have served to increase the volatility of market reactions to economic data. These releases occur every day and provide the market a reason to react to any level of surprise. They provide in a concentrated period of time a gr...

Many people ask me, "What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?" I thought I would take the time to explain who the various mental health professionals are. Ideally, we all collaborate with each other to serve our clients.
A psychiatrist is a person who has gone through medical school, then continued for another several years of a psychiatry specialty. Contrary to Tom Cruise's opinion, they are experts in the field of medical issues, psychopharmacology, brain diseases and the psycho- dynamics of the human being. Dr. Sigmund Freud is considered the pioneer in the field. For more information about psychiatry, look up the American Psychiatric Association.
