Does anyone have a full list of things you can sue for? Such as defamation, harrasment, etc.



All of those are suable, however, proving them is difficult. Unless audio, video or "black and white" evidence exists, it becomes your word against their's. Medical mal practice may be easier to peruse.

It erks me thought. Police cars are being equipped with audio/visual recording as well as police stations ensuring no wrong doing can take place, but mental hospitals are the complete opposite. :(

In any case don't give up. Try. Gather your full medical record, medical bills, along with sitting down and writing out everything that happened to you as truthfully as possible. The more determined you are the more likely you will get something valid going. I hope you win. :)

I was looking into this and "what you can sue for" is called "cause of action".

In the law, a cause of action is a set of facts sufficient to justify a right to sue to obtain money, property, or the enforcement of a right against another party. The term also refers to the legal theory upon which a plaintiff brings suit (such as breach of contract, battery, or false imprisonment).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cause_of_action

False imprisonment, a cash cow for psychiatry . The false imprisonment I should have had them on, the hearing to extend my stay past the 72 hours was not held on time.

False imprisonment is defined as the unlawful restraint of an individual’s personal liberty or freedom of movement[i]. It is the illegal restraint of one’s person against his/her will[ii]. The tort of false imprisonment involves an unlawful restraint on freedom of movement or personal liberty. In order to establish false imprisonment, two essential elements must be proven. They are:

Detention or restraint against a person’s will,
Unlawfulness of the detention or restraint.

- See more at: http://falseimprisonment.uslegal.com/ci ... t/elements

Below is the number one website on psychiatry and law.

PsychRights is especially focused on unwarranted court ordered psychiatric drugging requiring people diagnosed with mental illness to submit or be forcibly subjected to brain damaging psychiatric drugs (& electroshock). http://psychrights.org/

Again I remember the people in the hospital stating "I am going to sue this place" in response to the abusive treatment. I am almost certain none of them got a case to court.

One cause of action in my case against that hospital and doctor could have been "negligent infliction of emotional distress".

The tort of negligent infliction of emotional distress (NIED) is a controversial cause of action, which is available in nearly all U.S. states but is severely constrained and limited in the majority of them. The underlying concept is that one has a legal duty to use reasonable care to avoid causing emotional distress to another individual. If one fails in this duty and unreasonably causes emotional distress to another person, that actor will be liable for monetary damages to the injured individual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negligent_infliction_of_emotional_distress

Telling me several times if I refuse to swallow the nueroleptic pill overdose they prescribed I would be forcefully injected (needle raped) was absolutely negligent infliction of emotional distress.

My argument would be that my observable distress over hearing psychiatry's standard coercion threat of injection the first time made the second threat negligent infliction of emotional distress.


It's too late for me to sue, one thing I can still do is start a paper fight and make them amend my medical record.

What if my health care provider does not agree that the health care record should be amended or corrected?

Within ten days of your request to correct or amend, the health care provider must tell you of your right to add a "Statement of Disagreement" to your health care record.

A "statement of disagreement" to a challenged health care record entry should be:

a short statement of the correction or amendment you asked for AND

the reasons you believe your health care record should be corrected or amended.

I am not "bipolar" I was not "manic" I had a nervous breakdown from drinking too much over the stress in my life at that time, it got bad so I went to a medical hospital for alcohol detoxification and got transported like a criminal to a psych place . Then that stupid clown posing as a doctor calls alcohol withdrawal syndrome "bipolar" to make money for that insurance fraud money making atrocity they call inpatient psychiatry.
I survived psychiatry.

Thanks for the links! :D

Those are very useful as well as informative. Thank you Copy_Cat!

The statue of limitation laws suck imo.

I think one thing that could be of help might be to have an independent doctor dispute the original claims? In my case independent doctors helped because they were able to come up with a different and often milder diagnosis over the others, discrediting the original diagnosis.

I am simply going to fill out a complaint with the federal court claiming Title 42 gives them jurisdiction. The system is trash. It would not be there if people really cared.
