Most patient/prisoners learn real quick to hide symptoms and lie to escape those insurance money making atrocities called hospitals and psych wards.
Do you feel depressed or want to hurt yourself ? Translation: Do you want to be held prisoner longer in this hell hole ?
From what I noticed from being in the hospital myself (there goes my credibility, right ? ) is that almost everyone else was in the hospital because of bad reactions to psychiatric medications in the first place. Seems the majority of psychiatric inpatients started with going to psychiatry for some minor complaints and got on the "medications" , then get 10x worse, land in the hospital and get put on more of those psych drugs that screwed them up in the first place.
That was my story and what brought me here to speak out about psychiatry's crimes against humanity.
There is an article on MIA about how psychiatry itself leads to hospitalization.

Nearly 90,000 American adults are going to emergency rooms every year in response to adverse events from psychiatric medications, according to a study in JAMA Psychiatry.
http://www.madinamerica.com/2014/07/reactions-psychiatric-medications-hospitalize-17000-annually/And that's just "adverse events" where the drugs actually got the official blame instead of the patient which is almost rare, the patient and the label almost always take the blame in a psychiatric emergency.
I have been reading and writing for anti psychiatry for a few years now and I am absolutely convinced that society as a whole would be better off if psychiatry was just outlawed right now today and all those multi billion a year dollar pill factories were just shut down and dismantled.
The United States spends about $120 billion a year on mental health treatment and the result has only been MORE and MORE people disabled with psychiatric problems ! Its the psychiatric drugs themselves doing this , they screwed up and disabled me for several years in the insidious way they made me sicker and sicker. All I did was walk into a doctors office complaining of insomnia and that lead me to psychiatry's labels and "treatments" , insomnia is a symptom of depression I was told and I got the usual psychiatric gateway drugs, SSRIs. When I didn't sleep better and got worse more labels and more pills all the way to being in hospitals as the 'side' effects and withdrawals combined wile playing that finding the right meds game they get everyone to play to keep people as life long costumers.
And when people finally figure it out and refuse more keep you sick drugs psychiatry has no problem violating the 8th amendment and threatens its victims with punishments like forced injections and threats of long term lockups to force more of its failed treatments.
Punishment to force compliance is not just for extreme cases like a reader who has never seen behind psychiatric locked doors may think, the threats and coercion are standard operating procedure and used routinely on people who refuse psychiatry's "treatments".
Crimes against humanity, there is no other way to describe psychiatry does to make its billions and billions of dollars.
I survived psychiatry.
