Why havent we "won" yet ?

Open discussion about the Anti-Psychiatry Movement and related topics. This includes the opposition to forced treatment and hospitalization as well as the belief that Psychiatric Medication does more harm than good. Please note that these topics are controversial and therefore this forum may offend some people.

I just don't get why the public does not WAKE UP !


The public does not wake up because you guys haven't done anything to wake it up. If you want to end the "pharmacaust", child drugging and all psycho-pharmaceutical crimes, get out of this forum and start doing something. Start and circulate petitions, write articles, go on social media, educate the public. As long as you talk here amongst yourselves, you don't have the right to complain that nothing changes. Your talking on this forum doesn't help anyone including yourselves. You want change? Do something to make it happen. If you don't want to do anything, fine, it's your choice. But then don't whine and complain that nothing changes. Granted, you were abused and victimized by the system. That doesn't mean you have to live your life like victims doing nothing but chewing the same gum on this forum for the rest of your life. Again, if that is your choice, fine, you have the right to live how you want, but be honest about what you do and why. Don't BS yourselves that you are making any difference by chatting on this forum. You aren't.



I think we do have the right to complain about things in this forum, reading and writing on this forum can be very helpful to the healing process of having been abused by; psychiatry. Writing about your own experienes of psych abuse is one of the first steps to recovey/promote awareness. I realy enjoy reading other ppls experiences and their stories. I think it could make a difference the things we talk about on this forum, ppl do read the posts and if they have typed psychiatry or anti psychiatry into google, often this forum comes up, they could learn allot and open their minds. Don't tell us what to do, its great if we are protesting at apa confrerences, are members of mindfreedom, are peer workers etc etc, but we are also allowed to discuss things on this forum related to anti psych that's what its here for. I know it has helped me to check into the forum and see other ppls opinions about this subject, its good for recovery and activism.
