You get told you "have" a disease with no tests.
You are not given informed consent to treatment, well I was not anyway cant speak for all.
Here is some: Psychiatry is doing more harm than good. The long-term outcome for patients diagnosed with serious mental illnesses was better 50 years ago. The outcome in 3rd world countries is better than in the developed world. The only explanation is the drugs that are used. (This also explains the recent surge of bipolar diagnoses. How on earth could a genetic illness increase so dramatically in the last decade?
Psychiatrists claim that brain scans now show brain changes that “prove” mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and depression, are brain-based. There is no scientific evidence to prove this: it remains what the “fine print” in the studies ALL tell you: “suggests,” “may” and “it is hoped.”
All that aside, I have seen a number of doctors over the years and none were arrogant ,uncaring and abusive like this guy and Fort Lauderdale Hospital.
“All psychiatrists have in common that when they are caught on camera or on microphone, they cower and admit that there are no such things as chemical imbalances/diseases, or examinations or tests for them. What they do in practice, lying in every instance, abrogating [revoking] the informed consent right of every patient and poisoning them in the name of ‘treatment’ is nothing short of criminal.” —Dr. Fred Baughman Jr., Pediatric Neurologist
Here is some informed consent:
You have the right to decide to terminate any given treatment. Since the mental health system got you started on medications, it also has a responsibility to help you terminate that treatment as safely as possible if that is your choice.
