surviving the mental health system

any tips here, so far heres what i know.

Doesent matter how high end they are, they all suck. Are very risky places. You have no rights. The best solution Is dual citisonship with the SSI check. If actually ill with a progrssive illness, best off making sure you have dual citizonship first. then your safest bet may be the oppisite depending on your personal situation. If they say your a harm to others, you could just not talk to no one and stay to yourself, but then they will switch it to schitsfrenia. You can just drop all apointments and wait intill your 50 then go to the other country to collect bennfits there so that they dont say you dropped apoointments and can no longer take care of yourself do to it. Becouase not making or keeping the appoiments at a certen age will mean they dont have to let you back out.

They will always go on any smallest offence or comment, and exadurate it against you. They need more pets or guinipigs or something...

Stay away from them all together. Unless your legally bound to see a psych (ie, you've committed a crime ect) they cant force you to have permanent outpatient or inpatient.

Your right about them picking up what ever they can, and its not that they need more guniea pigs but more money. Patient=mulah Mulah =paycheck. Plain and simple.

As long as you can function safely your fine. btw, What are they accusing you of?

If a medication does help you function mabey its best to get it from a regular medical doctor thus avoiding the psychiatrists and all there bull.

I agree. Finding a doctor who isn't a psychiatrist is the best way to go. Some are hesitant to prescribe certain "psychiatric" medicines so I'd suggest doing research to find the right doctor, perhaps a specialist. I also believe that it's best to go in knowing what you're talking about so just in case they try to push you off onto a psychiatrist, you can hold your ground.

I stay away at all costs. As far as I know, it's not required to see a therapist normally in order to get disability (although you do have to get assessments when applying/re-applying).
