Christ_empowered,

If you don't mind me asking, do you think that the psychiatric treatment that you've received is at least part of the reason why you're a lot better now, or would you say that the improvements that you've noticed have occurred despite psychiatry?

To answer your question about psychiatry creating victims, I think that it can be difficult to tell the difference between a person who might be a "victim" of psychiatry (someone who's experienced harm from medications and other treatments) and someone whose psychiatric condition just naturally changed course and would have done so without psychiatric interventions. And I think that it's possible that in some cases, both forces might be at work: One might experience both a worsening of symptoms and long-term adverse effects from medications or other treatments. Of course, I'm just speculating as to what might be possible, partially based on my own experiences and the experiences of others that I've read. I'm not necessarily saying that there's any hard evidence to back up my speculations.
