News of Anti-Psych Forum

To be more specific, one person's take on the way mental health professionals reach for the pill-box.

It's on YouTube, I'm not going to link directly to it, but if you search 'Laura Delano' and 'Tucker Carlson', you'll find an interview I listened to with great interest, while doing some tasks, the other day. It's a long interview, over two hours, but chronicles Laura's journey from being habitually medicated, to not being medicated. She was ...

Based on years of experience, I regard therapy as no more useful or valid than pseudo science such as astrology or phrenology.

I need and want to vent, but I can't tell the truth about my violent feelings or I'd get locked up.
I don't want particularly to change myself, I want to change my tangible life circumstances and I want to be better at getting people to react the way I want them to. ...

I can't believe I'm so unlucky.

I'm not mentally ill.

I haven't taken medications for years.

I never needed the meds.

Yet now I have permanent side effects. They are embarrassing. They tarnish my social life.

I guess this was the goal for them in the first place: to humiliate and hurt me.

I was normal without psychiatry. They just didn't want to let me know. Now I have a neurological disease thanks to their ...

Hi there. I am from germany and seek out people that know how I feel and can offer a little help.
I have symptoms connected to ptbs, from the treatment I've got since 2013 until now from people that support or work directly in the industry of psychotherapy/psychiatry and pharmacy.

I was bullyed since early age by other kids and adults, for my hair and face. I was isolated. I suffer fetal alcohol syndrom and ...

Psychiatric research and article are known to use statistics on schizophrenics, and to be citing that in the homeless population many people have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, to a rate of about 45% of homeless people. A psychiatrist wrote that in his site, without mentioning if this is global or national rate of schizophrenia in homelessness, but never mind that. That point is, when there's a much more preferable, much less subjective, much less contrived ...

#######4. That's what most psychiatry was, for most of history and they still rely on more meta-cognitive independent super-theories like psychoanalysis which was debunked as a science, time and time again. Their medications don't help either, that is unless your in the Big Pharma paycheck, and can have detrimental effects on the human mind and spirit. They can't tell reality from the fiction of their own field or discipline, being a bit out of touch ...

I've given up on anti psychiatry.

My trust issues are my own and I need to own that, it's part of the grief cycle, trusting your environment.

As a child I went through these when I was diagnosed.

It all came out in court.

I would have been diagnosed with BPD if they were allowed which is currently what I have.

I did cbt and dbt as a child

I went through the $#%^ storm ...

Hello, I'll begin.

My greatest disappointment as a child is recognising and being taught to recognise the failures in these systems.

There isn't any therapy in the institution, I was labelled therapy resistant despite taking my medication without question and despite no real or even fake attempts at therapy occuring.

I've spent time in several hospitals, in Lismore NSW I was threatened with something being inserted into my rectum if my pants were not pulled ...

Good morning all

I've been diagnosed with BPD despite only having part of 1 major characterising trait of the illness.

Most of my issues stem from ASD, CPTSD and Depression.

Somehow I still ended up with this diagnosis despite being diagnosed with Depression ASD and PTSD in childhood.

Some amateur armchair psychologist with a useless piece of paper has branded me with this diagnosis despite and I mean literally asking no questions about me, for ...

I am paraplegic since 2014. I've been sectioned in the past but it's all due to the experiments the doctors have carried out on me since becoming disabled. I've had a lot of surgery and at some point in the past they put an implant in my head that they can use to read my thoughts and to track me. Doctors come for me in the night and press something on my head and I'm ...
