50 years damage due to psychiatry ( benzos & antidepressants) Scottish petition. https://archive2021.parliament.scot/gettinginvolved/Petitions/PE01651
My first impression of psychiatrists in the 1970s was they they were ignorant and dangerous, now in 2021, After 40 years as a service user, and 7 years as a patient campaigner, my view is that they are arrogant, corrupt, ignorant and dangerous.
My psychiatrist in the early 1980s was referred to as the "drugs man" .. he certainly drugged me into oblivion. I feel heartbroken for that young woman who allowed it. It is akin to being drugged and abused and unable to prevent it.
"Anti meds" people! The "pro- drugs" people love this type of language!
It must be about 35 years since I was prescribed prozac as a young woman of childbearing age. And here we are in 2025 with women still not being given adequate warning! How many decades does it take?
What are we waiting for before we warn the public? @AdamUrato1
Millions will be needlessly harmed in the future. Tragic as it is, no one is going to prevent it. It isn't lucrative to do so.

A drug like this for PPD is a “disrupter,” in that it cannot be placed into any category of drugs that is easily demeaned by the anti-meds people. It is for short term use, with the major side effect being sedation in some patients. True, in sedated patients someone may have take…
What a sad world we live in. Why is depression viewed as an illness?
If you find yourself harmed by widely prescribed psychotropic drugs you could find yourself in one of these places.
Goodness me! Thankfully, most of the asylums in the UK were closed down.
Best not lose your job or find yourself homeless!
Instead of expensive mental hospitals we just need to round the homeless up & put them in internment camps out in the middle of nowhere.
Goodness me! Thankfully, most of the asylums in the UK were closed down.
The first section is the one I'm most excited for. An alternative name for it could be "Bring Back The Asylums" It instructs the administration to make it possible to involuntarily commit crazy people again That crazy hobo pushing a cart full of urine bottles? He's going away!
What have we come to as a society where children don't even know this is normal?
Children will be taught that “worrying and feeling down” are normal and are not mental health conditions.. Revised relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) guidance issued to schools this month instructs teachers not to encourage self-diagnosis thetimes.com/uk/education/a…
Here's to freedom ... I should never have been a prisoner as committed no crime. The criminals are those who profit from it.
Had a good day today. It was the sort of day when I want to celebrate my freedom from the dangerous and damaging "mental health" sector with its toxic drugs, judgemental attitudes and weird ideas. I wish I had more days like this.

When you see the word "grift" or "grifter" on here it is a red flag. Trolls like to use terms like that for obvious reasons.
Most books don’t earn out their tiny advance. An author will be lucky to get a royalty of 10% of cover price, more likely a % of receipts. Anyone who thinks people take a critical position on psychiatry as a grift has never written a book and I’d be surprised if they’d read one.
The best decision I have ever made is to walk away from psychiatry, psychiatric drugs and the whole "mental health" sector. It is the most damaging sector I have ever encountered.
I do not want more drugs aa already injured by those drugs. That seems pretty common sense to me. Sadly, accusations of wanting to be a victim reminds me of the worst aspects of the so-called "mental health" system. The fact these attitudes still exist in 2025 appals me.

The fear loops people put themselves into after coming off these meds are perpetuated by the AD forums. How can they get help when they want to be the victim? I’m curious because these ppl don’t want meds or help via psychotherapy.
Patients are clamouring for help and support to get off psychotropic drugs and have been for years. No need to persuade, just set up services to meet current demand
I don't know how the new FDA claims "gold-standard science" when they recruit a panelist to inform the public about antidepressants who has a business that will see higher revenues if they can bring on more customers if potential customers can be convinced by the panelists that…

Doubt many see this post, but we'll see. I have #PSSD. 7 yrs in. Severe case. Family saw my rapid decline in 18. I tried so hard to educate them, just gaslighted.Pointless. Only believed my DR's word. I just want to talk to anyone whos fighting the same battle Were all Warriors
youtube.com/@moral_medicin… We need to get Moral Medicine in front of as many eyes as possible. These are real people, living real nightmares because of Finasteride and SSRIs, and the world is still turning a blind eye. To everyone reading this - share these stories everywhere you…
I totally agree. Injured patients and their supporters have made great strides. I have watched the change happening. The sickening aspect of all if this is the fact that injured patients are forced to battle against a powerful industry.
"We have to take the narrative back, and, you know, we have to realize we're competing against the most funded industry that's ever existed—the pharmaceutical industry." Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring (@taperclinic) talks about the power of social media and offers a message of hope.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I have lost in excess of £100,000 in lost earnings.
When I think of the many thousands of pounds I have lost due to being trapped on prescribed psychotropics it would have been worth paying for a competent deprescribing service.
