[MrLouisrocko]

First of all they diagnose the problem then they mould us into what we have to become. I need help from someone. I need to move or leave the country because they are giving me the hucklebuck. I can never be treated normally again, normality is in the past, after years of treatment everyone sees my condition now. I'm in a real mess and there is no escape.

[MrLouisrocko]

Who can I write to to complain? I live in Scotland. Please let me know ASAP. It's about time they get flooded with complaints. 7 years of being a patient and all I see is death. My outlook is bleak.

[MrLouisrocko]

In my opinion the patient should have equal rights to the person who is treating them. I'll give you a fine example. One day I was in a foul mood and I was expecting a home visit from a cpn. I told her at the front door that I didn't want to see her and as a result I was sectioned under the mental health act. It's terrible. Anyone can get problems in their life and end up trapped for life.

[MrLouisrocko]

I've lost count of how many times I have been slandered and undermined. How's your concentration today? etc etc. The people who treat mental illness are evil in my opinion. They get a buzz from telling people how sick they are because it pays them to do so. They get into their jobs so as they have power of aterny over human life. There has probably been thousands of people who have been ruined by psychiatry or by their GP.

[MrLouisrocko]

I was working on major plant closures in Scotland. I was going a bit yeeha on the drugs and bang I was written up as a person who was seriously ill and there was no governing body that I knew of that didn't back cpns over patients. Infact most of the staff in The Mental Health Welfare Commission are ex mental health workers. I wouldn't employ their typ if I was in charge they are surely swayed towards their on power rather than the welfare of patients.

[MrLouisrocko]

Also in Britain you can refuse the help of psychiatry and cpns, mental health resource centres but the patient can still be reassesed at any point in time, come on it is a lifelong trap. Supposedly under new EU mental health laws I am free to travel Europe. I want to study foreign mental health laws and leave this trap behind me. Who is up for it? Let me know. We get a team of like 400 mental patients and we all leave and get set up in a country which has less power over the patients.

[MrLouisrocko]

The mental health services are a criminal organisation aimed at disabling people not enabling. If a patient speaks up against a worker he or she is written up as being sicker than they are or they are treated without dignity and as a sick child. More power is needed for the patient. I was an able man who had a drugs addiction. They will use any media against the patient. Ie I smoke cannabis so therefore I must be Schizophrenic. I'm depressed Bi Polar. etc etc.

[newmoongathering]

I had the same experience. psychiatry / prison industrial complex are both sides of the same coin. both with a history and still are doing eugenics despite what people want to think. i was labled schizophrenic for having an auto immune disease, called lyme disease, which infects the nervous system. while hallucinations were certainly a symptom i had from it, the medical establishment blatantly failed to notice my muscle wasting, convulsive seizures, nerve pain, low immunoglobulin levels.

Been kidnapped by "my" government and locked, drugged, intimidated, threatened, abused, ridiculed, labeled, lied to for a bit more then a month of horror.

Psychiatry is an illusion of politicians and their most privileged slaves, the state-funded psychiatrists. It took tons of will power to stay sane and escape their claws. It took also connections, external pressure and luck to escape them. I saw so many stay locked when I left, some for a lifelong government "care"...

[HerrSpieldose]

all that psychiatry is is a modern day version of Nazi Eugenics a way to create a system of pure and defective people...

the best psychiatrists to have to support this are new fresh out of school doctors. Describing the social consequences and dehumanizing nature and history of psychiatry tends to make them have a realistic understanding...
