The article would have been more compelling for me had the title been a more straightforward, something more like, “There are no hashtags “melockedupyoutoo?# Because People Aren’t Nutz!”
In other words, talk immediately about retaliation because we know that’s the answer already.
But I’m biased. I’m sick of being told on these pages my thoughts are tangential, in a reprimand.
Ex. I point out psychiatry is a religion and its ‘tangential,’ until a male pro writer says the same thing.
Now try being murdered by religion using psychiatry, psychiatry using religion, hardly matters which when you are an active murder site and no will help. Mental torture, second decade starting soon.
Body, if the retaliatory computers hacks break you, please abort. See Facebook. It would be better to never be born.
Words. What can I say? Others have said your story is important. Your story is not alone.
Your story should be shared with Americans, with Congress.
Our stories should be shared with Americans, Congress.
My story, part of it, is here, too.
We need federal counts of psychiatric detainment. We need review of laws surrounding Big Pharma, insurance payments and psychiatry, the DSM, the labels, the drugs. All the stuff hiding dangerously behind the lame label: “mental health care.”
Good luck is not good enough but good luck going forward.
“All-ages rates (per 100,000 people) of emergency detentions ranged from 29 in Connecticut to 966 in Florida. In 22 states with continuous 2012–2016 data, the average rate increased from 273 to 309. In four of five states with separate counts for adults and minors, rates over time for both were nearly parallel. In eight states that provided relevant data, the mean longer-term detention rate was 42% of a state’s average emergency detention rate. Only one state provided length-of-stay data, and one counted both detentions and persons detained. In 24 states—accounting for 51.9% of the U.S. population—591,402 emergency involuntary detentions were recorded in 2014, the most recent year with most states reporting, a crude rate of 357 per 100,000.”
Last line says maybe one million emergency voluntary detentions in 2014, extrapolating based on 24 states.
“The most reliable data available suggests that millions of Americans from many walks of life have been subjected to psychiatric detentions and treatment against their will, and millions more have experienced unwanted psychiatric coercion under threat of commitment.”
Millions since “asylums”? Time frame is needed in the above opening statement. This argument is too important. Sloppy guesses can only hurt.
As I recall, there are no numbers connected to the source mentioned later in the piece.
“This darkness and dearth of data is something I repeatedly ran into during the research for Your Consent Is Not Required, and it’s also an issue that UCLA social welfare professor and author David Cohen has exposed through stalwart efforts to simply find out how many people nationally are getting psychiatrically detained.”
I’ve looked at the article in the past. Does anyone one year studied suggest millions?
This is very imporant.
There are probably a small number of horror stories like mine, short of millions. We can’t be as bad with our data and arguments as the corruption we’re fighting.
boans, i can only say lame words. You’re from Australia; I’m from the former leading democracy, sewer of Michigan. We are both in the cateogry of “extremely screwed” by psychiatry.
People don’t beleive our stories because they are too over the top with too many true horrifying details. Frankly, without my own story, I would definitely be inclined to disbelieve yours.
But a count is critical. How many in the extrememly screwed category?

Death would be better. Pray, if you do, for death for me. No one will believe the computer hacks I endure. I hope to die soon. I too lost.

I am 59 and I will not make it. The oppression will win. Has won for ten years and will win.
The destruction of me is not okay, my America, a sewer.
Good luck to you.

Getting the numbers right, spending some time on the numbers, only makes the article’s point more salient.
