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

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_distressTelling 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.http://www.washingtonlawhelp.org/resource/your-right-to-correct-inaccurate-information?ref=YdV6RI 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.
