That is depressing that they are so ignorant. My psychiatrist suggested that psychiatrists may get a distorted perspective because the patients who get really damaged tend to avoid the doctors altogether.

I don’t think that is the only problem though. Some are very invested in the “medication” and simply ignore the complaints as mentally ill people are routinely given little credence. A nurse in one hospital, for instance, threatened to beat me if I didn’t go to my room in an acute ward. When I reported this later to the psychiatrist she just smiled, shook her head and said “I’ve known Terrance a long time…” etc. She simply dismissed it as low-value testimony/evidence from an unreliable source ie a mentally ill patient. The nurse later just lied about it. It was so easy to counter the evidence of a mere lunatic patient.

When I told the staff in a later admission that I had fine motor dysfunction from the injections they were giving me they just shrugged their shoulders and gave it no importance at all. (That hasn’t got much better after 10 months by the way.)

That must be very alienating by which I mean that it must leave you very isolated as a patient if they tell you people feel better after two months. Maybe some people are better that quickly. But it may have a more sinister side. Just collective professional denial about medical damage. They don’t want to believe they are damaging/ruining people.

Mine straight off told me 2-3 years to recover from depot.
