Please read and comment... I agree with this article..
The Psychiatry Hoax of the Century..
The Psychiatry Hoax of the Century..
I got over most of my problems by myself and I wish people do the same..
I didn´t read it all (and doubt anyone did), but it seems to be very interesting and also there is a great deal of truth in it. I´ve experienced so many unbelievable things and highly disturbed people in my life, why shouldn´t I believe this article?
Besides the mental violence, the sheer physical violence that is used in psychiatric institutions can hardly be underestimated. Doctors, nurses and warders can assault and physically abuse patients, at will, virtually unpunished. If the patient attempts to fight back, this will be used against him/her, where the patient is accused of having a hysteric fit... While simple resistance as such is seen as "abnormal behavior" which may mean that someone who is detained against his/her will may be detained even longer... By the way, refusing to take mind debilitating or otherwise sickening drugs is also considered such resistance and can also have consequences for a "patient's" detention. Drugs can also be given by force intravenously while otherwise psychiatric nurses check the patient having swallowed their drugs (the trick you see in movies of someone pretending to swallow a mind debilitating pill doesn't work in real-world psychiatric institutes).
What is most frightening is that the physical and mental abuse is nearly completely invisible to the public. Even heavily criminal prisoners have the right to see their lawyers, daily if necessary. If a prisoner would have been severely beaten, his/her lawyer could notice this and request an inquiry or other measure.
But "mental" patients can be isolated indefinitely, with no appeal possible, at the wits of the "doctor" in charge... This means any physical harm can be done to the patient, without anybody ever having to find this out... And when an ex-patient wishes to file a complaint of physical or mental abuse, he/she will find it almost impossible to be taken serious, seeing that his/her accusations can all too easily be dismissed as craziness... Tough luck.
The above is true, I´ve seen my bit, when I worked in the ward for dying people in nursing home. I was there just for a week, doing something unrelated to care. The people there lived in apalling conditions and they were shouted at all the time by abusive nurses, called names, denied food etc. One old woman without an eye and in terrible condition condition was asking for a piece of bread and was shouted at and called names, etc. People often go mad there and try to escape, bang the door, but they can´t. Except of this, I´ve read many times reports of abuse in nursing homes. How many cases go unreported?
