Did you feel labelled after forced hospitalization ?

How did it go after it?
People that know about, that talk of you.
Is there a dyke from the moment after with the past in your life, so that you are judged and diminished?
Each normal think, when someone disagree with you, if you claim something and so on all is attributed to the mental illness?

Not really. My diagnoses only caused issues with the poorest examples of health care providers I've encountered. One was a therapist that refused to even talk to me unless I was medically lobotomized (she instantly assumed I had a chemical imbalance that could be fixed right away with medication, and never seriously entertained the idea of something, anything else, going on). The other was an over zealous primary care doctor that attempted to give me anti psychotics for insomnia, and perceived mental illness. He didn't say what he thought specifically was wrong, he just outright said I think your problems are due to untreated mental illness"). This was one of 3 times I've had atypical antipsychotcs pushed on me for insomnia, despite always telling everyone that I cannot handle them at all. Which means that my breath has been wasted as no one made a note of it in my chart---a simple "patient cannot handle atypical anti psychotic class drugs, please do not consider as a treatment option" would have sufficed.


Multiple people in the mental health system have since acknowledged that I was misdiagnosed multiple times over many years.

I'm actually looking into to having my medical records amended due to inaccuracy and one or two instances of gross unprofessionalism. I also hope to set up an advanced directive forbidding forced medication under any circumstances if I am ever in a position forced medication could happen.
