The 12 steps of Antipsychiatry

The 12 Steps Of Antipsychiatry

RARELY HAVE we seen a person who has thoroughly followed the psychiatric path and recovered. Those who do recover are usually people who have recognized Psychiatry as a dangerous religious cult, and will not give themselves completely to Psychiatry's fanatical program. The Psychiatry Cult is constituted primarily of men and women of the APA who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with anyone... including themselves .


We are not at fault; WE were screwed the second we sat on the leather couch and then took those first pills. We were systematically indoctrinated into believing that we have a biologicaly based brain defect with no test or procedure to prove this. Psychiatrists should be held accountable for the behavior that has ruined so many lives. Many APA members suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders. The psychiatric program requires that they believe emotional problems are biological brain defects that people can never recover from and they must take dangerous pills for the rest of there lives. Most of the people who quit Psychiatry have recovered in large part, due to their self-determination and ability to think and act rationally. Our stories disclose in a general way what We used to be like, what happened, and what We are like now.

If You have decided You want to leave Psychiatry and are willing to go to any lengths to do it - then You are ready to take certain steps.

At some of these We were delighted. We were sure that We had found a more sound and reasonable way. With all of the earnestness at our command, We encourage You to be resolute and confident from the very start. Some of Us have tried to hold on to Our old Psychiatric ideas and the result was nil until We let go absolutely. Remember that WE deal with Psychiatry - cunning, baffling, dishonest! Continuing the mental masturbation was too much for Us.

May You trust and believe in Yourself now! Delusions and psychiatric nonsense availed Us nothing. We stood at the turning point. We learned to protect and care for Ourselves with complete Self-acceptance. Here are the steps We took which are encouraged as a course of action to escape the Psychiatric mind trap...

1. We decided We were "Not Powerless" over our problems - that Our lives had become dominated by Psychiatry.

2. Came to understand that We never had a biological brain defect as psychiatric fundamentalists had led Us to believe.

3. Made a decision to turn and walk away from Psychiatry forever.

4. Made a scorching and fearless indictment against Psychiatry as an organization.

5. Admitted to Ourselves and another Human Being that We had been ambushed into joining basicaly a religious cult.

6. Were entirely ready to relieve Ourselves of the self-defeating bullsht We were taught by Psychiatry.

7. Familiarized Ourselves with cult indoctrination tactics in order that We may never fall into a similar trap again.

8. Made a list of all mental health workers who had harmed Us, and became willing to confront them all.

9. Called such people on their bullshtt whenever possible, except when to do so would physically injure them or others real bad.

10. Continued to indict Psychiatry and when We were wronged promptly expressed our disapproval of it.

11. Sought scientific empirical evidence that could help Us to defeat there bullsht and lies; focusing on truth as the Power to carry that out.

12. Having been awakened from the Psychiatric nightmare as a result of these steps, We tried to carry this message to other victims of Psychiatry, so that everyone might know the truth about the Psychiatric cult and big pharma lies.

Help me inprove this.

1. We decided We were "Not Powerless" over our problems - that Our lives had become dominated by Psychiatry. (Note: agreed - leave as is)

2. Came to understand that We never had a biological brain defect as psychiatric fundamentalists had led Us to believe. (Note: add that it is important to read actual peer reviewed articles to see what actual claims are being made by experts.)

3. Made a decision to turn and walk away from Psychiatry forever. (Note: not necessary. I still use a psychiatric doctor, but he is unusually gifted in knowing how things actually are. He provides useful objective evaluations even though I'm not on meds. It helps.)

4. Made a scorching and fearless indictment against Psychiatry as an organization. (Note: while helpful, I think it is more important to become "fearless" of anything, especially our worst fears/illusions.)

5. Admitted to Ourselves and another Human Being that We had been ambushed into joining basicaly a religious cult. (Note: change to awakening from the sleep that prevents us from seeing through illusions in all industries, especially psychiatry since money is the key incentive.)

6. Were entirely ready to relieve Ourselves of the self-defeating bullsht We were taught by Psychiatry. (Note: agreed - maybe fix up wording a bit. This is a bit like trust in self mentioned earlier.)

7. Familiarized Ourselves with cult indoctrination tactics in order that We may never fall into a similar trap again. (Note: by finding out the true cause of mental illness, that is by having negative reactions to certain illusion, the key is actually to wake up. This automatically solves the indoctrination problem.)

8. Made a list of all mental health workers who had harmed Us, and became willing to confront them all. (Note: sometimes, best to let go and simply help others. But taking some action may help relieve anger/frustration that some people may have.)

9. Called such people on their bullshtt whenever possible, except when to do so would physically injure them or others real bad. (Note: agreed - viva la resistance! Also, support your fellow survivors.)

10. Continued to indict Psychiatry and when We were wronged promptly expressed our disapproval of it. (Note: agreed - but hard to put into practice except on forums and youtube comments...)

11. Sought scientific empirical evidence that could help Us to defeat there bullsht and lies; focusing on truth as the Power to carry that out. (Note: I think its better to post studies currently being done. Also, it's important to help others know what books to read.)

12. Having been awakened from the Psychiatric nightmare as a result of these steps, We tried to carry this message to other victims of Psychiatry, so that everyone might know the truth about the Psychiatric cult and big pharma lies. (Note: ageed - emphasis here should be on posing certain questions to those who are on the boarderline between brainwashed and awaken.)

Overall: great first attempt at creating a list of steps to take. Nice work here.

BTW, the first step is the hardest because that decision takes a lot of faith. But once someone goes down that path, they find out more about who they really are - then they replace that "faith" with "knowledge" because they don't beieve - they KNOW.

I did some more editing before putting this on another thread and I think it came out better,
