Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi Joe I find it interesting that you say experience is a must for this condition. I have treated various mental disorders ranging from paranoid schrizophrenia, bi polar disorder, neurosis clinical depression or some other label that has been allocated to them by the medical fraternity. Of course its usefull to be famillilar with their terminology , but it still comes back to identifying their patterns of disharmony etc . A lot of the times as well, not even the doctors agree if its bi polar or clinical depression etc.If I only treated patients who wanted me to be experienced in treating such and such western medical disease label I wouldn't have had many patients.There might be a first year graduate out there good at pulse , tongue and pattern discrimination with a basic understanding of what bi polar can be , and may be appropriate for the job. I have seen some final year students at the college tackle some of the most difficult cases without any experience. Heiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
