Hi One Woman Cine,

I think we could have a very interesting and animated discussion on this topic in person. I find this form of debate, with short posts back and forth, frustrating. This board is probably better used to provide support and information than for more philosophical discussions.

Thank you for all of your responses. I have found it interesting talking with you but I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'm curious, though. I have posted that I have PTSD, struggle with suicidal ideation and have been committed. What is your background? Have you ever spent time on a psychiatric ward? I ask because my point-of-view is informed by my experience of having treatment forced on me. I wonder what experiences colour your own opinions.


> I'm not talking about past history - I'm talking about now. These past abuses by psychiatry are not relevant to reasons why one should not seek help today.

I am talking about now, too. There most definitely are current abuses in psychiatry. I've experienced them. Many, many others have as well. There have been volumes written about people being abused by their psychiatric caregivers. You only need to look in any library or bookstore shelf to find them. Unfortunately, these abuses are not ancient history.
