You are making a very good point. I think using the word “labeled” rather than “diagnosed” would be much more accurate, because the word “diagnose” suggests something that has a medical test of some kind backing it up. I think a simple change like that would be very meaningful.
I’ve just read this personal story for the first time.
What is Reid’s present status?
It is healthy that you are a rebel, and I agree that you simply have to not take the rubbish you’re being told to go along with seriously. You know more than they do.
Are you planning to have a website to promote your ideas?
You are extremely articulate!
What a spokesperson you are for changing the paradigm for psychiatric care.
You are very perceptive!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story! I am a participant on a forum and I have posted a thread under the category The Medical Establishment “Rethinking the Current Paradigm of Psychiatric Care.” I started the thread after finding this trail-blazing website. I have posted your article on the thread.
I am very interested in psychiatry because I, also, have had bouts of depression and spent 2 1/2 weeks in a psychiatric hospital in 2018. I went on antidepressants only to please my family but got off of them under the supervision of a psychiatrist soon after I was discharged. Thankfully, I had resisted the pressure I was under while in the hospital to undergo electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). I shudder when I think about that.
