Nightmares from psychiatry?

*may trigger*

Does anyone still have nightmares from psychiatry? I still do unfortunately. I have been out of the negativity for some time now, but effects still linger long after. PTSD lives on, as do nightmares which come in waves. Lately those have been intense.

To those survivors of psychiatry, how are you doing? Do you still have nightmares from your past?

I just don't like being around anything medical. Even the smell of it bothers me.

That whole medical or hospital scene, push button magnetic door locks, that glass with the wire in it and people wearing rubber gloves creates a PTSD like reaction of "get out of here" this is not a safe place, danger. When I brought a friend to the ER ... Thanks, but I will wait outside now.

Benzo withdrawal was nasty trip.

Similar here, I have the same experiences. Anything involving hospitals or medicine is highly triggering for me. Even alcohol wipes make me uncomfortable, as the smell is a reminder. I just avoid it altogether as coming close to it is overwhelming.

I really don't think PTSD is recovery.

I hate psychiatrist and hospitals in general. If I knew better I would have avoided psychiatrist at all cost. Sometimes they falsely diagnose you and make you feel even worst.

Basically all the diagnosis are false,

Science does not have proof of what causes mental and emotional problems. There is no lab test for any of these conditions. Also, none of these theories are able to explain how many people with mental and emotional problems recover completely.

Nightmares from psychiatry?

How to help a friend assaulted by psychiatry.

Believe your friend. It takes courage to talk about a psychiatric assault with other people. Many victims remain silent because they feel ashamed and/or they fear that they will be disbelieved or blamed if they tell other people about what happened to them.

Remember that your friend has been through an emotionally painful, traumatic experience. Your friend may act differently after the psychiatric assault. Some of your friend's reactions may be hard to watch, but your "being there" for your friend can help a lot.

Be patient and understanding. The trauma of a psychiatric assault does not go away quickly. It may take a while for your friend to recover. Sometimes friends and family members expect psychiatric assault victims to be "over it" in a few weeks. Understand that the pain the victim feels, and the symptoms, may last for a long time.

All I did above was copy paste some stuff from page on helping victims of sexual assault and replace sexual with "psychiatric".

Psychiatric assault, its that same powerlessness of sexual assault , actual assaults to you or seeing other patient-prisoners assaulted around you, doors all locked no where to run, threats of injections to force drugs... Sadistic staff...

Victims of psychiatric assault often experience fear, anxiety, depression, and many other psychological and physical symptoms.

Its no joke, it was very traumatizing.


I think speaking out against psychiatric crimes against humanity is the best medicine. I swore during my inpatient nightmare I was going to something to get the word out about that atrocity called "help" when it was all over. Thousands of posts all over the web... ya, I do feel better.

It really is mortifying knowing they very institutions that should be helping do this level of harm. Few people know about it unless you have seen the system first hand, only then does there opinion change. MI is stigmatized, so that even further prevents people asking "does the system work?"


"How to help a friend assaulted by psychiatry" I like it. Simple yet creative. I can relate to feeling that way. At this point for me its about recovery, trying to move forward.

I applaud you for doing so. I applaud you for taking an incredibly ugly reality and raising awareness about it in a clear, constructive and concise way. I think so to, peaceful self expression where one can be heard while making a positive difference is the best medicine. When I endured the abuse I went through, when I saw fundamental crimes being committed against defenseless people and children I made a vow to myself that I would speak up. I made a promise that this would not continue or go unanswered. The more people speak up the harder it is for unchecked evil to go on.

I have to say, I thank you Copy_cat. Your posts have helped me a great deal, so its safe to say in the very least you have made a positive impact in the life of another human. Your posts IMO are real healing therapy for what I went through. Thank you for having the passion to speak up.

I read lots of mental disease material previously by books, mostly online after I was hospitalized (about 20 days), many of which was written by psychiatrists. It was mean and scary. Those psychiatrists enjoyed themselves depicting "patients" as weird, bizarre, not understandable, dangerous...I was scared about the image and prognosis of "mental patients", and being categorized into this "patient" category. I suffered intense anxiety after reading those psychiatrists' subjective claims. Moreover, some psychiatrists "defined" patients who are scared of seeing psychiatrists or against them are real mental patients, patients who refuse their "disease" are real patients because they are "lack of cognition, judgement".. So it seems I have to accept whatever psychiatrists say and accept the system of psychiatry no matter how ugly it acts. That left me continuously painful stress or anxiety.

I read some criteria of DSM after being release from hospital, and found the symptoms of my diagnosis were not true. Back then I had a very bad relationship with my parents. They told the psychiatrist I smelled rotten rat in my room, and it seemed they didn't mention they smelled it as well. The psychiatrist considered it as my hallucination. But the smell was true. Later my parents found the rotten rat on the root above my room. When I was little, a few adults, who were my relatives and neighbours, deceived me that I was not born by my parents. I believed it somehow. My parents told the situation to the psychiatrist. During my detention in the hospital the psychiatrist told me that I have “non-descent delusion" that I don't believe I was born by my parents, and the bad relationship with my parents was due to this delusion. I explained to her that I was told by other adults when I was young, and I don't care about it. The bad relationship was because of conflicts happened between me and my parents during daily lives, nothing to do with whether I was born by my parents or not. The psychiatrist was angry to hear that , and said "No! all the bad relationship between you and your parents is because you think you was not born by your parents!" I ask her to allow me to have a DNA test. She told me, "Don't do it. The DNA test is expensive."...After being released, I asked my parents to do the DNA test with me. They agreed. Later I received the result I was born by my parents. I totally accepted it. But the relationship between me and my parents became even worse.

My parents found a psychologist doctor for me. I told her what happened previously and the diagnosing symptoms. Later I found she happened to be the vice director of mental hospital I was in. She was angry about my parents, and told them that I was misdiagnosed. I suffered depression previously.

AHAHAAHAAH! It's a question of powers. Their assignment is to put out the problems, to make all ordered and quite, like in dictatorships but differently, no worry who suffers or is demaged.
To do that you leave things as they are or help to strenghten things. Is the easier way to put order. Take the weaker, chimical stuff and shut up! After, fanciful inconsisent explanation to make the victim cause of all.

Psychiatrists are only interested in forcing deadly medicine on individuals who are victims of government failings. The billions in criminal fines that the pharmaceutical companies have paid for their crimes, hiding the adverse side effects of antipsychotics and illegal marketing, is actually returned to the companies in the form of governent grants and research funding. Its unusual for the companies to face criminal charges because the psychiatric system is a system of organised crime involving pharmaceutical companies, government and psychiatrists.
