Government money saving suggestion

The drain on the economy, is the backward government subsidised profession of psychiatry

I think if governments could stop spending money forcing psychiatric drugs on unwilling people and stop paying psychiatrists’ wages, the country could save so much, and they would be stopping psychiatric abuse and complying with International Laws against torture.

Apart from the obvious human-rights abuses that occur with these forced psychiatric treatments (brain-damage, damage to nervous system etc) people who are on psychiatric drugs have to sleep long hours that make getting up for work impossible, using machinery/ driving hazardous... Enable them rather than disable them, I say, and they're part of the workforce, contributing to making a healthy economy.

A crisis doesn't have to last a person's lifetime. It usually does when a person's trauma gets called a 'mental illness', a 'disease', as nonsense...

Change the law by complying with international agreements Australia has signed. That doesn't cost anything, so, what is the problem? Why can’t governments like Australia comply with decency and not experiment, torture and dehumanise people in crisis?

There is a matter of biopsychiatrists losing their jobs or having to retrain in other professions, where they don't need to be compassionate, caring, or helping another. But, redundancy happens in a lot of professions. Why should psychiatrists be immune when they aren't competitive, or meeting the consumer's needs, rather violating them?

The drain on the economy is psychiatrists, not those people psychiatrists are allowed to use violently as 'subject matter'. Unfortunate psychosocial situations, transgenerational trauma and suffering the social prejudice of others, are not diseases! But it is useful to hospital projects that they can use this term ‘disease’. It invokes fear in the population, that word.

People lose confidence when going through crisis and they can't get jobs, when they are falsely labelled by psychiatry. Active discrimination happens all the time, as people can 'tell' you're on psych drugs, or 'something', Tardive Dyskinesia makes you look like you've been in psychiatric hospital... Active discrimination happens for anything people don't understand.

There are better options to give people in crisis, so give them. Further abuse, via biopsychiatry of people alienated and traumatised, never helps. At the moment, the current system that 'cares' for those going through internal dilemmas, is one of further accusation and damning of that person, rarely validating horrific crimes people have suffered. I want this kind of biopsychiatry to stop ruling people's lives with its cruel regimes of torturous 'treatments’, its threats, accusations and damning of human lives.

Push people into corners and they do what they do to fight. Stop psychiatric abuse, ie forced drugging and electroshock and start allowing people to exist. It's not easy to get a flat that won't be invaded by the CAT team. It's not easy to get any shelter for long, without that invasion occurring, if perceived 'necessary', when it's not. Just because a person is talking usual experiences, doesn’t mean that person should be used by psychiatrists for inhumane experiments.

People who are abused, do what they can to cope, and of course they're angry. Psychiatry has tortured them, and their society doesn't even recognise that as abuse, calls it 'care'. That’s not okay. If you’re a person who has been saying that, please realise where you have been going wrong and change your unthinking attitude. The sooner people start listening, rather than reciting propaganda, the better. So, please get better!

Government farting of psychiatrisms!

Now, just a word about government initiatives in mental health. They are so out of date and offensive they are silly!

                Psychiatrisms being farted out all over the place and little scared psychiatrist’s parrots saying what they should, lest they be reminded of that time they maxed out their credit card and drove across several states without stopping. Or, even that time they started accusing people of poisoning their food, when they hadn’t heard that it was actually Monsanto doing it, not their sweet innocent cousins.

                There are a number of videos on this page that upset me (with the exception of Christopher who actually talks about the trauma and his recovery that happened through conversation and support.)

                Why would I listen to Kay Jamison’s view that psychiatric treatment is ‘important’? She is clearly suffering under the medication she takes. I can see the way it dulls her eyes and droops her face!

I haven’t got time to critique each video and say why they’re not positive representations for recovery and reducing stigma. They do nothing for validation, or enabling either. So, I’m going to focus on an actor who should know better, in hope to enlighten her as to why she is upsetting to so many (yes of course she will read my blog, she really wants to know a psychiatric survivor’s view for her next film role…)

 

Dear Glenn Close, saying, ‘drapetomania’ a billion times with actor’s glee, in 1851, would not make the word less offensive. Same with saying a person has a ‘sexual orientation disturbance’ in 1970. I mean, while people ‘joke’ about brides who run away in Hollywood movies, saying a person’s sexual orientation is a ‘disturbance', a 'deviation' or a 'disorder' when there is nothing wrong with their sexual choices, is about a societal disturbance. It is society being prejudiced. The fact is, sweetheart, psychiatry is disturbing and when you repeat words like ‘schizophrenia,’ and ‘mental illness’, they hurt people like me, because they remind me how I’ve been abducted, tortured, threatened, physically restrained and had to put up with the coercive-control brainwashing that goes on, as recently as 2011. And before you jump to conclusions that I was behaving like some Fatal attraction role you played, may I remind you, about the myth that so many people hold close to their heart that people with mental health problems are violent. Yes, it is a myth. And no, I wasn't being violent.

                And the fact is,  ‘The vast majority of people with mental health problems are no more likely to be violent than anyone else. Most people with mental illness are not violent and only 3%-5% of violent acts can be attributed to individuals living with a serious mental illness. In fact, people with severe mental illnesses are over 10 times more likely to be victims of violent crime than the general population. You probably know someone with a mental health problem and don't even realize it, because many people with mental health problems are highly active and productive members of our communities.’

                Okay, you should’ve got that any way, because it’s on the website where you talk of your relatives and ‘their illness’. You seem to have little insight into why your relatives got so upset they went into an emotional discombobulated crisis. But you’re happy to give them labels that no one wants. (Except maybe the Bipolar. That one is new and sounds nice. Manic-depressive, people hated the sound of that. Schizophrenia, roll it on your tongue and it sounds like a cat saying, ‘back off!’ as for ‘mental illness’ being something to get used to, come off it!

                So, just to let you know, these words alarm me as much as racism and sexism, probably more, because they areused to harm, disable, threaten, brainwash, dehumanise and torture, yes, even the UN agrees that forced-drugging is torture. And the public seems oblivious to this.

                How could you be so stupid as not to be aware of this? Don’t you read?

                Stop farting psychiatrisms and get with it! Don't turn coping mechanisms and discombobulated responses to grief and trauma into 'symptoms'! And don't you dare ever use the 's' word where I can hear it again!
 

 

Sincerely,

Initially NO

When psychiatrists mistake identity and drug someone not ‘mentally ill’

Another man has been picked up by WA police, wrongly identified as the missing patient, and given an antipsychotic drug to treat schizophrenia. He had a bad reaction and was taken to hospital where the mistake was discovered.

Those responsible must be held accountable. Yet many others who have suffered similar identity mistakes and drugged by psychiatry, are afraid and don’t want to be further traumatised by taking action against the state, according to Sandra Boulter.

This distress suffered again and again by so many, forcefully injected with psychiatric drugs… there is no excuse.

Psychiatrists don’t listen to what people say. They do not even listen to their nurses, who might actually have more understanding of the psychiatric patient they are advocating on behalf of. No wonder Western Australian treating psychiatrists just dismissed their mistake of identity as the patient’s ‘delusion’. They do this sort of thing time and time again, with things like a person’s complaint of traumatic abuse they have suffered, a person’s complaint about how much they are suffering due to the ‘medications’ they are forced to take, or that they’ve had a bad experience, or are allergic to a given drug, or that another person on the ward is harming them. Or, that they'd prefer, and need to have other less invasive treatments such as psychotherapy, art therapy, or acupuncture, or Chinese herbs, or vitamins, rather than psychiatric drugs.

                When are psychiatrists going to be forced to check a patient’s record to find out not only identity, but what they are allergic to? It is so easy now. That kind of information could be got at a click of a button.

                It’s about being decent. Checking for things like allergies and identity, instead of hauling a person straight away into seclusion and injecting them with harmful and potentially lethal drugs.

Psychiatry is a mistake. A big one. How can they use drugs that cause such harm and consider them good medicine? It is not okay to nearly kill someone, even if that person is experiencing trauma coping mechanisms such as ‘hallucinations’! And it certainly is not okay to do this against their will and without next of kin consent. It is not okay to cause more trauma and harm. It is especially not okay when psychiatrists cannot even tell a person who isn’t ‘mental ill’ from someone who is!

It is very frightening to think that anyone can be grabbed off the street and drugged and as a result die or suffer brain-damage, all because society has given psychiatry the power to do this and then say, ‘Oops sorry about that. A mistake we made. Just an accident, you know. Are you sure you weren’t mentally ill anyway, because you seemed to be in need of treatment’. When are people going to stand up and say that they don’t want to be next?

Yes, Alison Xamon, it does raise many questions about what’s happening with psychiatric procedures and yes we damn better have a big inquiry soon into mental health practices and why it is okay for these psychiatric doctors to cause harm in order to make patients ‘placid’. Remember, there is no cure for schizophrenia, according to mainstream psychiatry, only ‘management of symptoms’. That means, putting the patient into a semi-vegetive state by murdering their brain-cells and making them suffer the feeling of not being able to think, or do much at all. A chemical strait-jacket is not medicine it is one of the most vile restraint measures used to ‘manage’ a person.

Make no mistake, there damn better be an inquiry into psychiatric practices! Or society is going to be a very guilty society for allowing these horrific practices to happen for so long it's really, really stupid.

Why don’t psychiatric medications work?

People who suffer trauma and have strange coping mechanisms such as hearing voices and unusual beliefs DO NOT HAVE A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE. The psychiatric drugs don't work and life is hell on them! They often don’t stop ‘symptoms’ such as hearing voices, sometimes increase them. Being on these drugs is torture. The lack of ‘a life’ on them makes them not worthwhile. They make you feel worse, not better. They shut down your ability to think , you know, your humanity. They do nothing to address the psychological traumas you’ve been through. They also cause severe and multiple illnesses and brain damage. You’ll find all these things and more about any given psychiatric drug on the drug’s website list of ‘side-effects’. In bold is what I got while transferring from the depot neuroleptic Zuclopenthixol to Abilify.  Not okay, but feeling much better now that I’m not forced to suffer these psych drug effects anymore):

Most psychiatrists will attempt to tell the new and potentially gullible patient they are prescribing their ‘medication’ to, that these effects of the drug they’re taking, are ‘symptoms of their mental illness’, that the patient is 'diseased'.  Many will believe this.

Astute patients look up drug websites and tell their psychiatrist they’re getting a known side-effect of the drug they’re being forced to take.

These patients are then told by the psychiatrist that ‘we must weigh up the balances. Having some shaking and neck pain is better than the psychosis.’

 

Argue that it's not and you're being 'non compliant' and 'lacking insight' and will be kept on the treatment order longer. Perhaps seeking legal advice here, might help, particularly with things like Tardive Dyskinesia, which can be permanent, but there are limits that legal people can do, when it is legal for a psychiatrist to 'treat involuntarily' what they have diagnosed as a biological 'mental illness' disease. Proving that your so called 'disease' is trauma and not biochemical, is not something that is easy. But I think it should be tried more often than it is.

So given that even the drug companies admit that their psychiatric drugs give a range of serious illnesses, that they don't know how they work exactly and that they may cause death... what kind of scales are psychiatrists weighing things on?

The illnesses caused by forced psychiatric drugs are all very serious and horrific to live through. I know from experience. Forced drugging needs to be stopped. It is not okay. It is torture and it doesn’t help a person rehabilitate, recover, or be the person they want to be. More genuine therapies should be happening. They are available and they do help. The drugs don’t work. So, why keep them as mandates and policy and procedure? Sick government laws allow psychiatrists to harm people. This should not be happening in 2013. There should only be non-invasive, non-torturous therapies in legislation.

 

Why don't psychiatric medications work? Because they don't. They never have. But of course patients will say that they do work. Even I have. That's the only way to get off a treatment order, to be compliant and agreeable to treatment. Reasons people stay on psychiatric drugs when the order is stopped? Because they're terrified of following their own intuition and they're brainwashed and addicted. Plus, the doctor is supposed to know best and they have a 'disease' according to the psychiatrist that 'must be treated' or they'll 'relapse'. If they're relapsing on the medication? Then they're 'treatment resistant'.

Loop holes of legislation allowing and enforcing torture is all I see here!

Eventually patients stop complaining about the damaging effects of the drugs.

The psychiatrist then says, 'This drug seems to be working for you.'

Ts for protest

And the patient says, 'Yes. It seems to be. I'm all better now thanks to you and your drugs.' (ie, can you please now let me off the treatment order you ugly *#%$!)

more 'nonpharmacological interventions' needed 'for noncompliant patients who are willing to undergo intervention but refuse pharmacotherapy.' Be proactive, make the choice  of intervention be allowed! It only makes sense to be humane... Don't force drugs!

Psychiatry must die

I think aiming my anger at organised government supported crime, is much better than aiming it at actual people. I’ve never been good at getting angry with people, they’re too complex. They have their good points as well as their destructive points, some of them, so it’s hard to hate everything about a person, without realising there are some things that they do, that I like. Then there are some people I love completely, but that's a different story... I'm talking about what makes me angry.

            So what better thing to aim my anger at than psychiatry, a regime of government organised crime against humanity. I want the psychiatric regime to come to an end and I have legitimate reasons: I don’t want me or anyone else to be tortured by forced drugging, have their boundaries broken, forced to believe what their psychiatrists insist on, be traumatised… I think the techniques of coercive control are what’s used in domestic violence, the military and under other political regimes. It is totally unhealthy, making a former patient forever feel they have to look to someone to give them direction and tell them what to do.

            So, psychiatry must die. And when it does, I will not grieve its passing, I will dance on its grave!

            I suppose some people think they can make psychiatry change its ways, but I don’t think so. What’s the point? It has a bad reputation for torturing people. It needs to be wiped out. No one wants a Nazi or a KKK member; so, why would anyone want a practitioner of psychiatry? Get out of the industry quick if you’re in it.  Psychiatry has to end soon!

            I’m ‘going too far’ you say?

            You bloody holocaust denier, you ugly raciest, you homophobic twit… All these prejudices have one thing in common – psychiatry, if you look at the diagnostic labels that have existed over the years – the diagnosis of draptomania to enforce slavery, T4 whitecoat Nazis plying their trade as legitimate, and the classification of homosexuality as a ‘mental illness’ right into the 1970s. That’s psychiatry and if you think psychiatry is ever going to clean up its act, you’re deluded!

            So, psychiatry must die. Psychiatry must die. And, I wish society would hurry up and kill it off quickly, because it is taking too long to kark it. Stop dithering on whether torture should or should not be used on people who have already undergone traumatic life experiences and are suffering because of it. It quite obviously should NOT BE USED. Get with it! And if anyone thinks I exaggerate how painful neuroleptics are, read up about how Russian defectors described these psychiatric drugs, that are still prescribed, as the worst torture they were forced to undergo.Book: Mad in America

            You think I’m just some angry little blogger? No, I’m a completely outraged blogger who has been tortured by the regime of psychiatry and has every right to say and say again what is so suppressed by society it is silly.

            Plus, I’ve found when I vent about how much I hate psychiatry the Tourette’s tics, originally caused by neuroleptics, disappear. I think the Tourette’s, which feels like me whip-lashing myself, when directed into sensible thoughts like ending psychiatry, feels amicable and stops the nonsense lines like, ‘I want to kill myself’ I had repeating and hopping out my mouth while alone.

            Suppression causes malfunction. Venting the steam of outrage, means at least people might start to recognise it is not me, so much as the law, that needs to change. And when I start to feel more validated, then my mind has less reason to do things like Tourette’s tics.
