If you still think that the People Who Run Ireland give a Shit about Your Human Rights ( Think Again )
'Behind the Walls' is a two-part documentary series charting the history of Ireland's psychiatric hospitals. Part one lifts the lid on this vast system - during the middle decades of the 20th century, Ireland led the world in locking up more of its people per capita in mental hospitals, ahead even of the old Soviet Union.
This documentary reveals damning evidence of appalling conditions within the hospitals, information which was kept secret by the State. It also tells the remarkable story of Hanna Greally, locked up for almost 20 years, but who emerged to write about her experiences in the 1970s, becoming one of the very few to chronicle her experiences behind the walls.
@DJSpinoza No surprise a right wing authoritarian country like Ireland would make maximum use of psychiatry to control "trouble makers".

Biopsychiatry is medico-pharma driven pseudoscience merely placing the vulnerable or defiant into a pharmaceutical prison rather than a physical one.
