Good video, poor choice of music. A mental health advocacy and awareness video that opens with Pink Floyd's "Brain Damage" referring to the mentally ill as "lunatics" and "loonies"!? It's a classic song from a legendary band but in this context I find it offensive as someone who has struggled with and has striven to overcome a serious mental illness.

I hope a psychotic patient kicks this cunt in the face when she is a professional... fucking scum.

getting my face slammed to the floor my whole life and force fed drugs every day was no way to live and I will hate this profession for the rest of my life for what they do to people...

this is Nazi Eugenics 2.0

clearly this person doesn't have a mental illness... this is all shit they read out of the DSM.

Exploitation... you liberal fucktards making those of us labeled for being different live a life like Nazi Germany where we can take drugs that make us feel like shit or get electroshock is not better than being locked in a nut ward or getting an icepick drove into our brains... not impressed.

and making us tell everyone we're crazy just keeps you people in a job assholes.

love the net.

This is the best video I have seen on mental illness stigmas. Great job on helping to open eyes of those that seem to be blinded by the words mental illness.

You are WRONG. Mental "illness" DOES discriminate! It NEVER "strikes" a "mental health professional" since their degree IMMUNIZES them from it, this is stated by implication! In contrast, a REAL MD, like a gerontologist, never claims his degree immunizes him from the disorders with which his specialty is concerned. Gerontologists age! But psychiatrists CANNOT be "disordered!" Because it's a SLANDER--not a medical diagnosis! "BUT JUDGE THE DISORDER MADE ME DO IT!" Get BS out of our courts
