  1. THANK GOD! Just saw this on yahoo!….their usual PROPAGANDA, from “HelloGiggles”, “Refinery29”, and HuffPo, is blatantly anti-human rights, and pro-drug! Yahoo! usually touts the party line of the PSEUDOSCIENCE DRUG RACKET known as “biopsychiatry”…. Abuse and trauma can never result in good “mental health”, yet the psychs and the system routinely traumatize, abuse, and over-drug folks….
    THANK-YOU!, MiA, for some TRUTH!….
