As anyone
who has been incarcerated in a "mental hospital" is aware, if one has been
institutionalized, and claims to be "well", it is seen as a
symptom of one's "sickness", and one is said to be in a state of
denial regarding one's true condition, whereas should one claim to be
"mentally ill", it is seen as a sign of "admission" that one has such a
"mental illness", and therefore, one is said to be "getting better". Could
it also not be the case that one was "mentally healthy" in the first place,
and the psychiatrist who made the diagnosis was the person in denial
regarding one's ability to function in society at large, and "the admission
of mental illness" was nothing more than a sham to get one beyond the walls
of the "mental hospital"?

-
Forced incarceration in psychiatric facilities is all too
often completely unnecessary, and less restrictive alternatives to the state
institutions should be provided for those who would be so incarcerated.
-
Forced drugging can be harmful to the person being
drugged. Some of these drugs have serious debilitating side effects. Drugs
are over prescribed, and their long term usage can cause progressive brain
disease in the elderly among those who have taken these drugs all their
lives.
-
Electro shock therapy has been damaging to those people who have
undergone it, and it's use should be made illegal.
-
Anxiety, tension, stress, etc., are the normal and natural
means people have of handling the pressure they are put under in the modern
world, and should not be seen merely as negative emotional states certain
members of the species are unfit to deal with.
-
Restraints and seclusion rooms are used excessively and
unnecessarily.
-
It is absurd to speak of giving people the right to
"treatment" without also giving the right to refuse such "treatment".
(Mistreatment under any other name would feel as bad.)
-
No such entity as "mental illness" has ever been found to
exist. Psychiatrists are pulling a fast one on people when they define certain
behavioral irregularities and quirks as symptomatic of some kind of disease or other.
-
People often buy the view of the psychiatrist because they are
weak, and/or they haven't been exposed to any other explanations. (No, the
doctor is not always right.)
-
True legal representation doesn't exist for those threatened
with incarceration in a psychiatric facility. One has a hearing before a
judge, with a court appointed lawyer present one has hardly spoken to more than once, and
the judge will, of course, be swayed by the expert opinion of those
psychiatrists observing one, and bend to the will of such "professional
opinion".
-
You have the right to be different. Sexual preference,
lifestyle decisions, identity issues, future projects, etc., are matters of
personal taste, and not to be legislated into the hands of any unwanted
outside party.
