You know, I understand that folks who are of Hungarian, German, Russian, Jewish descent and also aborigiones of any country often know first hand how the social systems work and that there is oppression. I know that I am a fat, ignorant WASP who has not been fully traumatized by the system and I cannot possibly know or see what these people do in terms of social control.

BUT, when I read materials by well meaning psychaiatrists who DO CARE and when I read other stuff, it appears to me that there are people who want to help and who realize that there is a problem.

I know that our society--industrialized and homogenized and sterilized and with its technology doesn't make room for people of difference. I know that they want cookie cutter people. I know that there are dangerous eugenicisists out there and that psychiatry was partially meddled with with Nazi influence. I know that.

BUT I also know that if you are hearing voices and the voices want you to harm............
or if you see things and are driving......................................
or if you are sensitive to stimuli and have to go to University..........................

WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?

I know that Iatrocapitalism is in part, evil. I know that some disorders are made up to create social control--like the draeptomania of the past

But what I am supposed to do? What if you really have a problem but don't know what to do?

I WANT to be able to be totally unpsychiatric, but in the past, I have needed meds for my moods and the meds DO HELP my boy in school.

What am I supposed to think?!

Is it REALLY as bad as all the AP people say?
