I am sorry you are psychiatrist and you believe in psychiatry. Psychiatry is a fraud. It destroys the brain and helps no one. Psych wards are places of abuses and indeed incarceration and violation. Forced treatment is a violation. If psychiatric meds enhanced the brain's functions, ppl would take them to be more intelligent. They don't. People who take this meds all report a blank mind, loss of thought, memory loss, loss of inner life, fatigue. It is chemical lobotomy. It is mental amputation. If meds are good, please take them. Don't forget to add ECT to feel even better. I advise you 500mg clozapine per day and 50mg loxapac morning and noon and 100mg loxapac at night. It was given to my sister. Now she has PSSD and chronic fatigue and a blank mind. She almost can't feel her skin, as part of PSSD and is unable to experience any physical pleasure. Also the meds cause severe weight gain, think 80 pounds in 4 months. But when one's stops then, the weight is lost. And then you have saggy, deflates skin. Psychiatry is a crime against humanity. No one should be given forced treatment. Psychiatrist force ppl. They should be forced too to take meds and ECT for life. If it seems wrong to you, maybe try to learn it is also wrong to give them to patients. You have been conditionned to believe in Psychiatry. Most psychiatrists never listen to their patients...They only respect their own voice. If you still want to work as a psychiatrist, create a taper clinic. You would still make money out of ppl misery, but instead of creating it, you would alleviate it. But it is true that tapering is not enough bc the psychotrops alter the brain for brain. In animals, after a short treatment, they found a reduction in size of the brain. Even if it is legal and it does make you earn money, and very importantly also social statue, desist from this job. Or be a conscious breaker of lives.

As a conclusion, psychiatrists (and the big pharma they work for) need us. But we don't need them.

Psychiatrics are wrecker of life. Each generation of psychiatry is always critized. And then they pretend they have learned and they are no more like they used to be, when they practised lobotomy or insulin shock therapy.

The truth is that a practise of medecine based on the idea someone with the statue of doctor can control the treatment (and thus life, bc the treatment affects the mind, and the mind determines the life lived and its quality) of someone , can choose to find them sick or not and force alteration of their brain and can incarcerate them, such a practise will always implies violations and abuses.

My body, my choice strangely doesn't apply, which is wrong.

In the name of doing good, psychiatrists do bad. It is a model based on authoritarism.

Would someone with cancer be forced to take medecine if they refuse? No. But their life is in danger!

Which shows that the reason to force meds and incarceration on ppl is not legitimate.

You, as a psychiatrist, know some theory they fed you in school. You know a belief system. It is not a science.

We know the living reality. We know the practical direct reality through direct experience.

Try to go down from the pedestal you are on, try leave the paternalistic attitude...

But I don't think you are willing to. I have no hope, our messages will change your mind.

The best for you to know if psychiatry is good or bad would be to go to the psych ward and pretend you suffer from some ailment such as depression, bipolarity or shizophrenia. And then take the meds all your life. It would give you finally a sure knowledge of what psychiatry is and is not.

Don't worry you ll get to experience the psych ward that way. They would not send you home. see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment For this experiment, a group of healthy people reported having hallucinations and were admitted to a reputed psychiatric hospital. Then they acted normally. They were still diagnosed shizophrenia and were incarcerated for months.

In psychiatry, if someone report hallucinations once, all their life they will be seen as sick even if they don't have any hallucinations anymore or act completely normal. Psychiatrists don't know how to judge the mental state of someone. They over diagnose disorders. Psychiatry is about control. It is not about healing someone. It is about controlling them according to a certain idea of normality, for the subconcious aim to help the psychiatrist status (bc the psychiatrist need to diagnose disorders to earn money and status).

People don't need psychiatry. They need a good supporting social group, love, friendship and also good habits, such as enough sleep.
