News of Anti-Psych Forum

First off as a disclaimer in case this is somehow triggering to anyone, I'm completely open to criticism if you think I'm missing some point, feel free to let me know if you think I did.

Hey guys,

Does anyone know what to do if you're on an injection of a drug rather than pills, and want to wean/get off? I have to go to the clinic every several weeks, for my injection. My doctor has stretched the time period out one week after my request to be on less medication, so technically I am on a bit less now. The injection was every 4 weeks, now it's every 5. The ...

I am still on antipsychotic medication. Having said that I am trying to heal myself in all the ways I can, while being 24/7 on a substance that, to my definition, makes total and complete healing impossible. I don't really know what to say here, as this is my first post and I am new to the antipsych movement although it resonates with me, and has for a long time. I think the trauma that ...

There are zero scientific studies showing any psych drug used for depression has any long term benefit. Zero. These drugs are claimed to “work” by cherry picking published short term corporate studies. These studies operate by putting the placebo group in withdrawal, unblinking the drug group, cherry picking and using statistical techniques.

Look how approx. 5 years of confinement and 'treatment' by psychiatrists has changed this young man Thomas Gilbert Jr. from handsome and virile to an ashen, gaunt zombie.

A 16-year-old boy being held at a Los Angeles County juvenile hall developed enlarged breasts after he was prescribed estrogen to treat a behavioral disorder, a move that baffled doctors who said the treatment defied medical logic, according to a lawsuit filed last month.

The teen, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, was diagnosed with "oppositional defiant disorder", or ODD, two days after he was arrested and housed ...

Now they can run around and play instead of sitting in a chair all day. Have Ritalin and other psychiatric drug prescriptions gone down.

I just thought of the topic. Time to go no time to try and find out.

Hi all,

This is my first visit to this forum and since graduating from university with a degree in psychiatry, have often contemplated creating a book.

I wonder if any users, could provide me any guidance with the possibility of having such a book published?

I left Psychiatry 4 years ago and this was due to my conflicting beliefs around the system and how productive it was and terms of producing the best outcomes.
