Psychiatry Makes War on "Bipolar Children"

[Panthers007]

Ditto^^^. I've seen this go down so many times that it could have a soundtrack. That kid (and millions of others) wasn't given a "life sentence" - that is a death sentence. I have done a lot of outreach work with parents facing similar situations. Given the facts on what these drugs will do, they prevent it. But far to many never hear anything other than what Dr. Mengle spouts. It's a damn mess - and we need many more articles like the above to educate people with.

Thanks for posting this. Good job!

Well SWIM can tell you what it feels like to be abused by the psychiatrists. I mean they do not even friggen think. SWIM was waked out on drugs and admitted to the psych ward. Within 10 minutes he was diagnosed with an entire host of problems that had nothing to do with the drugs he took. He was immediately put on medications and told to stay on them. How Pray tell would the good doctor know if SWIM was getting better on his own if he was on medications? In fact SWIM has learned much about the mental health system from his experience. What happened to SWIM was in Alaska. The state is one of the biggest abusers of the mental health system. It is built in corruption. The state pays for all mental health care if you do not have insurance and are commited. So the drug shrinks very freely put people in the hospital. I mean the ward is packed with people that do not need to be there. The drug shrink comes in in the morning and sees a ton of people. He spends about 10 minutes with each. If that. I think SWIM met like 1 or 2 people out of many that really needed to be in the hospital. These people were totally delusional. But the rest were just cash cows for the hospital and the shrinks. It is a very corrupt system. The interesting thing is that NONE of these patients got any care from a psychologist to work things out. One of the primary flaws in psychiatry is that once ppppeople are "diagnosed" they are essentially screwed. No attempt is made to test the waters by taking them off of meds. Looking back on all of it SWIM feels RAPED and abused.

What is just as disturbing is that SWIM has talked to some psychologists and many of them are buying into the same model. Right now Psychologist (some of them) are wanting to give drugs. They are fighting with the MDs SWIM read. I fear that if this happens the profession will simply become like psychiatry. SWIM thinks maybe the psychologists should be allowed to give LSD and other mind EXPANDERS. Not that they would not be qualified to give other drugs but SWIM questions the global impact on the profession.

SWIM cannot tell you how much anger and bitterness he has toward psychiatry. He does not trust then and has no respect. He was held down by them and repeatedly raped. There is nothing that SWIM could do as the medical board mandated that he see one to keep his license after being caught taking drugs. He was trapped. SWIM still suffers from much embarrasment and humilation in his own mind from being branded like an animal and treated like one. SWIM cannot tell you how horrible psychiatry is. SWIM realizes that there are people who suffer from true mental disease and need molecular help for life. But this does in no way justify the actions of the Psychiatric community

One would question how an intelligent person could go to medical school and then waste their time and intellect in such a "profession". I mean they just look at you for a couple of seconds and drug you. They do not spend time with you like a real mind doctor who is a psychologist (Or a psychiatrist that does their job right). It must be very boring. But I guess the money makes up for the boredom as well as THE POWER. And after a while they probably BELIEVE in what they are doing. They just want to pump through as many people as possible. And also I have met few psychiatrists that I would say qualify as well adjusted people. But that is a whole other dissertation.
