Seriously, Max, you expected something
DIFFERENT than THIS?….
What,
are you “delusional”?….*
*irony….
R.I.P., Fred….
This is SO WRONG! Young Mr. Hojin Kwak puts his art & teenage experience on view for the world to see, and, (ok, maybe only a teeny, tiny fraction of 1% of the world will actually see this, but still, at age 15, NOBODY KNEW ME AT ALL…..)….
So, HoJin Kwak, you’ve got a pretty good start on your art! We only see 2 pieces here, and they could both be over a year old. I know that if you keep at it, even occasionally, your art skills WILL IMPROVE…. I like that you are trying to “say something”, in addition to doing art-for-the-sake-of-art…..
I totally get what you mean about the “downhill from here” part, but please believe me. THAT’S A LIE! Sure, you might believe that now, but, HOW DO YOU KNOW that your life will go “downhill”?…. Because some stupid adult told you that? And you believed them? Relax, most teens fall for the same trap. Try a slight shift in perspective: Take the next 10 years: By age 25 or 6, you will be a fully matured (physically!) adult. Probably with at least 1 Bachelor’s degree, maybe even a Master’s or PhD. Job. Spouse. Car. Motorcycle. Own apartment or house. Money in the bank. Crypto in your smartphone wallet. Whatever.
Why should that suck? Like, people in their 50’s, 60’s, & older are REALLY BUMMED?….
Some are, yeah, but not most. Expressing yourself through art, and creativity of ALL KINDS, is one of the best things you can do. And read some Dalai Lama. You CAN CHOOSE to BE HAPPY…. Finally, remember, the PEAK of hand-to-eye coordination is only reached by practice, training, and experience. Years of it! You’re just a teenaged kid. Compared to a Grandpa old fart like me! And I’m happy! You can be, too.
I’m sorry nobody ELSE commented here in the last week….
See if you can write a guest blog here?….
(….i especially like the “neuron eye” in “Hand-to-Eye…”….)…..
At least you’re not likely to fall prey to the pseudoscience lies of the drug racket & social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”….
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, and WELCOME to MiA, HoJin Kwak!….
I just googled “Ben Riley”…..Thelonious Monk’s drummer was the #1 result…..
Do you guys mean a different “Ben Riley”?…..
I, for one, totally support your right to self describe as having schizophrenia, Daiphanous Weeping….
And, how does anybody KNOW, FOR SURE, whether or not their hallucinations, and/or delusions, are normal, everyday, garden variety hallucinations and delusions, or “schizophrenic” delusions & hallucinations?….
My VISIONS are NEITHER “hallucinations”, nor are they “delusions”….and they are certainly NOT “schizophrenic”….
Feel free to reply, or not, but I certainly don’t expect you to, Daiphanous Weeping….
The DSM-5 makes the most sense, when you realize that it is first intended as a catalog of billing codes. AND, EVERYTHING in the DSM-5 was either invented, or created. NOTHING in it was “discovered”. When we consider the distictions in meaning between “invented” & “created”, and “discovered”, the fraud becomes clear. So-called “mental illnesses” were invented & created to serve as excuses to prescribe DRUG$….and justify forced & coercive “social interventions”, such as “ACT”, and other medical-fascist abominations and violations of basic human righrts in the name of “healthcare”…. Hopefully, we will NOT SEE a “DSM-6”,….

This may be a LONG comment…. I actually have some relevant FACTS to include here, along with my usual strongly-worded opinion arising out of my decades of lived experience. My lived experience began at 15, when I was taken to a quack psychiatrist, who slapped a bogus “diagnostic label” on me, then used that bogus label as an excuse to shove potent neuro-toxic drugs down my throat. My parents, especially my father, were also unwitting dupes and victims in this recruitment process. The next 20-25 years of my life were a living nightmare hell of psych drugs, incarcerations in jails and psych wards, including stays in a State prison, and 2 State mental hospitals. I successfully escaped over 25 years ago. You do the math. I’m a disabled retard….But enough about me….
I want to note 2 other prolific and valuable writers here, “bcharris”, and “dogworld”, who both comment above. There comments provide excellent context….
Samantha Lilly earns her gold star for her excellent reporting here.
The scholarship of Amy Gaeta seems also very high quality.
Maybe it’s simply a problem of brevity in these short articles, but I suspect not.
What Gaeta especially, and perhaps Lilly BOTH MISS, are evils best identified and expressed as:
1.TECHNOCRACY
2.TRANSHUMANISM
The reference and link, above, from “dogworld” is very welcome here.
The “World Economic Forum” is the playground-workshop of the Globalist Technocrat Transhumanists. The WEF is the brainchild creation of the evil Klaus Schwab, billionaire author of the book “The Great Reset”….
“The Great Reset” is the public playbook where the GLOBAL RULING ELITE & GLOBAL BANKSTERS, – the “GREG B.’s”,- lay out their plans for Global domination and subjugation and enslavement of humanity on Planet Earth.
These already too-rich-and-powerful people are actively enslaving humanity, and turning us all into slaves and robots. Technology is their tool, and WEAPON….
What Gaeta describes as happening on the internet, through websites and algorithms and personally-targetted “ads”, is merely a step towards directly connecting all 8 billion humans through global “IOT”, or the “Internet of Things”.
Through transnational corporations, humans are reconceptualized as nothing more than sources of money, power, and control by and for the rich ruling elites.
Who desire ALL the money, power, and control for themselves.
Make no mistake. These people really don’t care whether you or I live or die.
They want to drug us into submission.
They want to lull us into impotence by technology.
By “medical” “diagnosis”, then market products, drugs, and services to us, for THEIR benefit and profit, NOT OURS.
The algorithm writers don’t care about you, me, or us.
They ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
THEY ARE EVIL HUMANS.
They are the TECHNOCRATIC TRANSHUMANISTS.
1.TECHNOCRACY
2.TRANSHUMANISM
The EVIL TWINS.
I haven’t yet followed the link which “dogworld” provided above, but I bet the woman referenced is Nita Farahany, a supreme transhumanist technocrat.
Her nightmare dream is for all humanity to be directly wired and controlled by a central, global authority. She spoke at the WEF recently, and video of her talk can be found online.
She truly believes that she is on the side of good.
But her ideology blinds her to the true evil which technocracy & transhumanism represents.
Farahany and her ilk have set themselves up as enemies of humanity, but of course they can’t see that legitimate perspective. She works for the Global Ruling Elite & Global Banksters, who want to enslave all humanity under THEIR POWER, PROFIT and CONTROL…..
Me? I work for ALL HUMANITY, trying to FREE ALL PEOPLE from the enslavements of ignorance, confusion, fear, and hatred….
Farahany is NOT my enemy. But Farahany has made me her enemy, by her own grossly-over-educated ignorance, and HUBRIS. But hubris is for another topic, another article, another day….
Yes, remote monitoring and control of a persons thoughts IS technologically possible….
May God have mercy on us all….

IMHO, so-called “anti-semitism”, just like so-called “racism”, has become empty of any real meaning. So many different people have accused so many other different people, in very different contexts, of both-either, that they are fast becoming meaningless insults….
BUT, the fact that so-called “anti-psychiatry” folks are now smeared with the “anti-semite” label, only PROVES to me, the complete intellectual bancruptcy of the pseudoscience drug racket known as “psychiatry”….
After all, psychiatry is nothing more than 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins….

More than race or Judaism, the one common denominator of Holocaust victims was
COMPLIANCE…..about 99%, I’d say…..
Current compliance to mask mandates, vaxx mandates, etc., in the Covid1984 Plandemic, are only in the maybe 40 – 60/70% range AT MOST…..
Looks to me that the 4th Reich is LESS successful at forcing compliance than the 3rd Reich was during 1933 – 1945…..
Psychiatrists were key drivers of Nazi policy in WW2….
WHY did psychiatry comply with, and ASSIST the Nazis?….
What say you, Benedetto?….
A psychiatric “diagnosis” is the medical equivalent of a six-pointed yellow star pinned on your clothing….

I LOVE my fellow Holocaust survivors….
I’m VERY GLAD to see Mr. Robert Whitaker chime in….

“You had a psychiatrist from the Upper East Side, a therapist from the Upper West Side, and you ended up with going through ECT, unbelievable!”” <– cut-n-pasted from above….
First, thank-you, Yael, for sharing some of your story here. Yes, I read your words very carefully, and I'm trying to understand what you're saying. I'd like to think that I have both empathy and understanding for your experiences as you describe them here. I myself was first psychiatrised and drugged with neuro-toxins at age 15, in 10th grade. After the catalyst of reading Dr. Peter Breggin's "Toxic Psychiatry" in 1993 started my snowball rolling downhill, I have been free of the scourge of psychiatry and psych drugs for well over 25 years now.
So I prefer to challenge directly an actual "faculty member from an Ivy League medical school", as you describe them. Please don't think that I am challenging you personally, Yael, or your experiences. But I think you strengthen the harsh judgement I have for the pseudoscience drug racket of psychiatry.
Whether a psychiatrist or therapist is from the Upper West or East Side of New York City, well, how in the HELL can that have ANY real bearing on a (supposedly) scientific "medical" "diagnosis"? Does being a medical school faculty member affect clinical judgement in the same way that neighborhood of origin does? What possible relevance does academic status have on a person's diagnostic abilities? What possible relevance or effect does neighborhood of origin and academic employment status have on precision of accuracy in prescribing the CORRECT "medication" for the CORRECT "diagnosis"?…..
Maybe you can see where I'm going with this line of questioning?….
Maybe you have some idea where I'm coming from here, in asking these questions?….
Maybe you feel that you have some answers to my questions, and that you understand my questions?….
So I'll be honest with you, Yael:
I don't really think that you, Yael, in your story above, or myself, in my comments & questions here, have ANY FRICKIN' IDEA WHAT either ONE of us IS REALLY TALKING ABOUT!….
Honestly, seriously, I am literally fabricating questions from the words I read here.
I have no idea what I'm really asking here.
I don't really care.
I don't really care whether this comment, and my questions, makes sense to anybody, or NOT….
Because, I think that once again, I am proving what I have been saying for DECADES NOW!:
"Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drugs racket, and a social control mechanism. It's 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good. The DSM-5 is best seen as a catalog of billing codes. EVERYTHING in the DSM was either invented or created. NOTHING in the DSM was DISCOVERED.
So-called "mental illnesses" such as "bi-polar" are exactly as "real" as presents from Santa Claus, but NOT MORE REAL….
To sum up, psychiatry is MEDICAL FASCISM PERSONIFIED….
Psychiatry is a form of only-sometimes-fatal GENOCIDE….
In short, PSYCHIATRY IS GENOCIDE….
ECT = Electro-Cution Torture….
Please, ANYBODY, prove me wrong….
Go ahead, I DARE YOU TO TRY to prove me wrong….
My current fantasy is that I will see an actual reply from Dr. Peter Gotzsche here!…..
I don't know whether I want to see Yael Anohi reply, or not….
We shall see what we shall see….but what in the hell can that be?….
In the scam pseudoscience of psychiatry, the imagination is the limit…..
In 1998, 2 employees of the local “community mental health center” called the local police, LIED, and claimed that I was suicidal. I was NOT suicidal. But, the local police used those LIES as an excuse to surround my apartment literally at gunpoint, force their way into my home, and almost literally drag me out naked in handcuffs. Actually, they let me put on pants & shoes and a shirt. I was at the time getting ready to take a shower, eat dinner, and get a good night’s sleep before a full day of college the next day….
I was taken in handcuffs to the local hospital emergency room. There, they attempted to force me to speak to some idiot “crisis worker”, and “confess” that I was “suicidal”….
I was NOT suicidal, and thus refused to lie & say that I was. Had I lied, I MIGHT have been put in the fairly comfortable “mental health unit”. But, because I was NOT suicidal, and refused to lie and say that I was, I was then taken under arrest to the local police station, arrested, charged, and held for $500. CASH BAIL…. I was eventually bailed out, so I didn’t have to go to the local JAIL…. But, by the time I FINALLY got back home, it was the next day…. That was almost 25 years ago….are things any better now?….
Not that I can see. If anything, things are WORSE….
IMHO, PROOFS that things are worse today include such abominations as “Trans Lifeline”, “Campaign For Psych Abolition”, “Blackline”, “Samaritans”, and “Crisis Caller’s Bill of Rights”….
You people are so brainwashed and blinded, that you can’t see that these groups are nothing more than different arrangements of deck chairs on the Titanic….
No, I can’t stop you from replying, but I’d rather you just KEEP THINKING…..
The best advice I could ever offer to a suicidal person would be,: “Go ahead, go, just don’t take anybody else with you.”….
If we don’t have a right to die, how can we have a right to live?….
Think about it….
COME ON! Who the hell writes these stupid headlines, anyway?….
I don’t believe that it would be at all correct, or just, if I were to blame Woanjun Lee….
I mean, the kid is still working on his master’s degree, so let’s cut him some slack, shall we?….
So here, please allow me to CORRECT the EGREGIOUS ERROR in the headline above:
“….acts of kindness WILL improve our mental health and social connections….”….
And, as EVERYBODY here knows, ORGANIZED UNKINDNESS, FOR PROFIT, with powerful NEURO-TOXINS, has a name: it’s called “psychiatry”…..
Torrey has “forgotten” nothing…..
The more so-called “mental illness” we have, the more apparent “need” for psychiatry & psych drugs….
But the more psychiatry & psych drugs we have, the more apparent “mental illness” we have….
And the more apparent “mental illness” we have, the more we SEEM TO need more psychiatry & psych drugs….enter Torrey & his bogus “solutions”…..
Literally, Torrey & his ilk have created our current “mental health crisis” through gross over-use of psychiatry & psych drugs….
Torrey is evil, but he is neither stupid nor forgetful….
What you describe, “Someone Else”, is exactly HOW Torrey&Co. have CREATED the “mental health crisis” they now pretend to “treat”, with even more forced drugging & incarceration….
Which is what created such a large problem to begin with!…..
Removed for moderation.
No ifs, ands, or buts about it, psychiatry is CLEARLY, FULLY, smack dab on the side of HATE…..and GENOCIDE….
Looks to me that maybe somebody had BOTH their sense of humor, AND sense of irony surgically removed….

IMHO, the “E” in “E. Fuller Torrey” MUST STAND for EVIL…..
Certainly, he’s an evil little man….
And, in the “Time” magazine obituary for Dr. Thomas Szasz, the ONLY quote was from Dr. EVIL Fuller Torrey himself….
Truly, E. Fuller Torrey is my enemy….um, with all due respect. Which ain’t much, really….
I’d be surprised if Dr. Gotzsche remembers me, but years ago now, he & I had a brief email conversation. The general topic was a push in Europe, which has borne fruit in Japan, to do away with the word, “schizophrenia”, in formal medical & academic contexts…..
Originally, “schizophrenia”, which shares an etymological root with “schism”, implied that so-called “schizophrenics” had “split off” from normal society. Something like that. After all, semantics is a playground for the pseudoscience drug racket & social control mechanism known as psychiatry. But I digress….
So I am VERY, VERY GLAD to see Dr. Gotzsche’s work here…. I have carefully read his piece above, and I endorse it 100%.
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME….
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME!
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME….
And I will do what I can, to see that his words reach the widest possible audience as fast as humanly possible…..
Great-Uncle Dr. Peter Breggin must be proud of his nephew Dr. Peter Gotzsche!….
I know that I sure am!
BTW, I read Breggin’s “Toxic Psychiatry” in 1993, and have been SAVED from psychiatry since 1996. THANK GOD!….
You, “Birdsong” are one of my favorite commenters here.
So when I saw David Oaks apparently unfairly criticising and attempting to censor your comment, I felt compelled to defend both you, and myself.
Until & unless Benedetto denounces psychiatry, yes, Benedetto is MY ENEMY….
Psychiatry & psychiatrists are enemies of humanity.
That is my opinion, based on my lived experience….
WHAT “anonymous post” are you referring to, David Oaks?….

Hayden, you don’t know squat about me. Click on my name, and review the HUNDREDS of comments I’ve written here. I was on the benzo clonazepam over 20 years. I began a long, slow taper off it, the day I went on it. I have been in 2 State loony bins, and did 6 months in a STATE PRISON FORENSIC UNIT. Also over a dozen shorter stays in the local hospital psych ward, or euphemism “mental health unit”…. I survived a HELL you probably have no clue about, kid. Today, I’m over 25 years drug & psychiatry FREE…..
Gee, dude, what happened to my alleged, supposed “mental illness”?…. Yes, I’m an asshole….but at least I don’t spout pseudoscience drug racket psychiatric crap….I actually CARE about the GENOCIDE of psychiatey….
You can imagine an infinite number and variety of “what if” scenarios, and even if somebody answered ALL of them, ALL of the answers would still be empty, meaningless rhetoric. Because the TRUTH is that psychiatry is a pseudoscience, and a drug racket. Yes, if literally MILLIONS of American school children are dosed daily with legal PhRMA drug version of METH-(AMPHETAMINE), sure, lots of them will SEEM to “concentrate more better in school.” Seems the child’s body actually metabolizes the METH/SPEED differently than adult bodies do. But that in NO WAY means that any of those kids “have ADHD”, nor does it mean that “ADHD drugs work.”…. Your entire argument is thus specious.
Removed for moderation.
Yes, “many” meaning “as much as 10, 20, maybe even 30% wonderful, ethical, compassionate…”….
So, well OVER HALF of psychiatrists are BAD, and ALL are fraudsters….
“Iatrogenic Neurolepsis”……
The ONLY “diagnosis” I will claim….
F U, psychiatry, and your NEURO-TOXINS!……
I read Breggin’s “Toxic Psychiatry” in about 1992….
in 1994, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks, when I went toxic on Trazodone, because the local “community mental health center” NEVER took a blood level test….
By 1996, I became 100% PSYCH DRUG FREE, and PSYCHIATRY-FREE…. Thank God. Today, I’m healthier & happier than ever….
But, the STIGMA they imposed on me still follows me around like an ankle chain….
Who knew, that at age 15, in 10th grade, I would receive the civil equivalent of a SENTENCE of “life without possibility of parole”?….
The lies of the pseudoscience of psychiatry are pernicious….
I love the TRUTH SONGS you sing, Birdsong…..
I didn’t think you were doing that!
When I had a near-fatal toxic withdrawal reaction to psych drugs, the State put me in PRISON for 6 months, then 3 months in the State mental hospital….where I was then kicked out too early, while I was still recovering!
That was decades ago, now, so….
I’m 25+ years PSYCH-FREE, & DRUG FREE, and I’m a happy man today….
Gee, what happened to my supposed “mental illness”?
Guess I CURED IT, by abandoning the pseudoscience lies of psychiatry & psych drugs!…. LOL!….
Keep singing your TRUTH, Birdsong!
So-called “fragile people”, and especially them, need affirming “allies” who will affirm EVERYTHING about such “fragile people”, including if not especially that which you would label “insane” & “unsound”…..
You write like somebody who hasn’t been pill-raped, needle-raped, hog tied, held in seclusion or isolation, physically assaulted, insulted, etc., as most of us here at MiA have, in the genocidal “mental health system”…..
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, & social control mechanism. It’s 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, far more harm than good. Especially to “fragile people”. The so-called “mental health system”, seen correctly & accurately, is in fact a system of genocide-for-profit….
What you are experiencing right now, Hayden, is known as “cognitive dissonance”….
PhRMA-manufactured delusions are being replaced with McLean’s well-written & well-researched truths….you’ll be ok….
Yes, Thomas, and NONE of those you describe are psychiatrists….
Although England is worse, even here in the U.S., so-called “inpatient psychiatric care” almost always involves kidnapping & either pill-raping, or needle-raping the victim-patient-consumer…. Isolation in sensory-deprivation-isolation holding cells is the norm….outright physical, mental, emotional, psychological, sexual abuse is the norm, – the ACTUAL standard of care. Not the glossed-over charade presented to the public….
Your hypothetical theoretical merely distracts from acknowledgement of the sick, evil, ugly REALITY of the pseudoscienece drug racket of psychiatry….
I understand the quote is from J. Krishnamurti….
Thank-you, Birdsong!….
Try this, Birdsong:
1.The American Psychiatric Association announces NO NEW MEMBERSHIPS, effective immediately….
Over years of time, the APA simply ceases to exista s it’s members get old and DIE OFF….
(I knew you’d like that last part, Birdsong!….)….
2.NO DSM 6, or even vi….The ENTIRE DSM can be simply replaced with a single diagnostic/billing code, that indicates the person IS ELIGIBLE for whatever “services” they freely choose, & that’s all….
3.Psychiatrists are allowed to practice pretty much as they do now, but they surrender all prescribing of pharmaceuticals.
4…..wake up from nightmare….
“It is no mark of sanity, to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society”. ~ garbled quote attributed to J.Krishnamurti….
Modern American society is SICK, as the result of “intelligent design”….
Psychiatry is unapologetically ANTI-religion, and ANTI-God…. Atheist, in policy and practice….
Find the legal, internationally-accepted definitions for “GENOCIDE”, and the various international genocide treaties. Look carefully at what psychiatry, psychiatrists, and psych DRUGS do, on a daily basis, to MILLIONS of people globally, and the one inescaopable TRUTH, is that psychiatry is medicalized, socialized, heavily-marketed & advertized on TV, GENOCIDE….
Psychiatry is the practice of genocide threough PhRMA drugs, and “Community Mental Health Centers”….
Prove me wrong? Yeah, right….
Psychiatry ALWAYS gives EVERYBODY the short end of the stick. Psychiatry itself, *IS* a short, dead stick….
Tim, It was the W.H.O., under the Ethiopian-warlord-CCP puppet Gabresias(sp?), along with Gates, GAVI, WEF, etc., who created the global Covid1984 Plandemic-Scamdemic…..
But I have not read the WHO “mental health” report.
Unless it condemns the pharmaceutical epidemic, & psychiatric genocide, it’s crap & garbage….
Psychiatrist: “OK, here’s your new script for Haldol, 500mg., and another for 500mg Thorazine. You’ll sleep 18 hours a day, and be logie the other 6. But with your HUD-funded housing voucher administered through the local landlord cabal, and your EBT Food Stamps/Cash assistance card good at Farmer’s Markets and CVS Pharmacy, and your SSI & SSDI debit card good ANYWHERE for ANYTHING, plus your daily social media, hey. you can walk, take the bus, get a ride from friends, of just stay home and isolate. What a glorious, compassionate life we give you!” Right?”….
Psychiatric patient: “R.I.P.”-anonymous….
Benzos are really only alcohol in pill form….
….or Cannabis in pill form….
Hardly a “psych treatment” like Electro-Cution Torture (“ECT”), or insulin coma….
Or a strait jacket or lobotomy….
Indeed, it’s the only thing that can….
That’s why “social distancing” was a key feature of the Covid1984 Plandemic-Scamdemic….

Chelsey,
The more $$$ you pay to see more so-called “medical professionals”, and the more PhRMA DRUGS you ingest, the sicker, unhealthier, and unhappier you will become. It’s that simple, but that’s probably too simple for you to believe.
So let me explain, as briefly as possible.
Do you know what “Rockefeller medicine” is?….
Do you KNOW for sure, the TRUTH, that PhRMA wants you to be sick, not healthy?
That U.S. & New Zealand are the ONLY 2 countries that allow direct-to-consumers drug advertising?….
Do you know that all the doctor visits, clinics, Etc., in the world, won’t change your character? That only the hard work of the heart can do that?….
How many nervous systems, & fluid systems does the human body have?
Do you know what is a woman? Or are you so woke that you’re a cultural zombie?
You don’t REALLY believe the official government narrative about 9/11 do you? REALLY?….
You didn’t get jabbed, did you? Too late! If you got vaxxxed, congratulations! You’re now a human guinea pig in the largest uncontrolled, multiple confounding variable HUMAN EXPERIMENT EVER!….You shoulda stayed in the control group! Oh, well! Too bad!….
I hope you know the TRUTH, though, that psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, and a mechanism of social control. It’s 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neurotoxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good…..
Well, DUH!….How stupid are these lame-brain “researchers?….. So, they create, maintain, and perpetuate STIGMA, then look to see how much stigma there is, and it’s AT LEAST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE STIGMA THAN EVER!….
Well, Duh!
Psychiatry IS STIGMA manifested and masquerading as something else. All those so-called “schizophrenics” are worthy of our contempt….because psychiatry deems them worthy of their stigma….
Oh, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy!…. I really am so sorry that you, too, had to learn the AWFUL TRUTH!

Oh, Brenda, Brenda…. I’m so glad you decided to continue your post-High School education, de-indoctrination, and de-programming here at MiA.
You have come to the right place, my friend.
First, “the brain”, as you call it, is NOT a discrete human bodily organ, as the pancreas, or spleen, liver, lungs, etc…. What we call “the brain”, is merely the neuronal mass contained within the skull. The human body has 4 nervous systems, & 4 fluid systems. There are more neurons in the gut, than in the brain. MOST so-called “neurochemicals” are made in the gut, not the brain.
A TRUE “chemical imbalance of the brain” is scientifically impossible.
Actually, MANY psychiatrists HAVE BEEN CONVICTED of all sorts of crimes. Psychiatry has insinuated itself into our legal system, via HUGE payments from PhRMA to Congress & other politicians.
I have already here given you weeks of supporting research for your continued edification. Any of Mr. Robert Whitaker’s, or Dr. Peter Breggin’s books are also excellent primers to begin to free your enslaved mind.

Until & unless you’re prepared to equally reject capitalism, AND it’s bastard child, the pseudoscience drug racket & social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”, your comments have no validity….
100% pure psychobabble. Gobbledygook. Ridiculous nonsense…..
Yes, I read and understood this quite well. That’s how I know for sure.
PSYCHOBABBLE. GOBBLEDYGOOK. MENTAL MASTURBATION.
Psychiatry is a fraudulent drug racket & social control mechanism.
Looks like it’s in it’s dearth throes.
Spenser, Carel, & Lilly should hook up & do a TikTok remake of the old nursery rhyme, “Three Blind Mice”….
“Oh, NO!, Don’t you dare de-pathologize me! I love my mental illness! How else can I get free Gubmint money for not working and sitting around smoking pot all day?”….
OK, that last line was a little snarky….
Honestly, I’d love to see Spenser, Carel, & Lilly, all 3, be forced to say unequivocally,
whether so-called “mental illness” is something that ALL of us have, or else NONE of us have. There’s only ONE human mind, so how can it be otherwise?….
Glad to see that you agree that mental patients “very often ARE dangerous”, Steve….
I’m really sad to see this crap. How many Democrats consider themselves “liberal”, or “leftist/left-wing”? Most, right? How many know that “neoliberalism”, as used above, is NOT THAT?….
I’m hearing a lot of complaining, and self-pity. And otherwise educated clinicians & “activists” feeling sorry for these oppressed addicts.
Got to throw in the “anti-capitalist/anti-capitalism”, too, except capitalism is WHY we have illegal drugs & drug addicts in the first place.
No doubt there are major social and systemic problems. And that’s true on BOTH social & individual levels. Healthy, well-adjusted adults rarely, if ever, fall into addiction….
No, sorry, I don’t see how yet another nuanced critique of life really helps anybody, except the virtue-signallers….
The opposite or addiction is connection, not recovery. “Recovery” is a large & slippery enough word to mean what ever anybody wants it to….
There’s no doubt in my mind, the authors here have ZERO lived experience in A.A.-style 12-Srtep recovery….
And finally, from a BOLD-HIGHLIGHTED part above, what the HELL is “types of substance use that are capable of (de)constructing structural inequities.”?….
Are they DE-constructing, or CON-structing?….
But anyway, I want to thank MiA for showing us more of what THE PROBLEM IS….
IMHO, people who think like Sandra McNeil are part of the problem, NOT the solution….
Alishia, I hope you see this comment, and reply me what you think:____
Currently, we have a system-centered system, and a process-centered process. It’s BROKEN….
We NEED a services-centered system, and a person-centered process….
I see IPS, – Intentional Peer Support, – as our best current hope to achieve that….
Yes, I have carefully read the article, but without going farther down the rabbit hole of clicking & reading the links for more excruciating detail. I read carefully all the comments, many from others whose comments I have long been familiar with. And most with direct lived experience of the damage done by the pseudoscience drug racket known as psychiatry. Yes, I say again.
PSYCHIATRY IS ORGANIZED FRAUD & PSEUDOSCIENCE.
PSYCHIATRY HAS DONE, & continues to do, FAR MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
The best thing I’ve done in my life was reject psychiatry & psych drugs.
And, judging by the people I know, who are still victimized by psychiatry & neuro-toxic drugs, this article is a pathetic attempt to absolve the GUILTY.
The annual APA Conference is a veritable ORGY of PhRMA advertising.
Follow the MONEY.
Kriegman seems to be a typical leftist apologist. Nothing he says here is at all new, except for a few minor details.
Kriegman, IMHO, is equally culpable as the money-loving psychiatrists he so adroitly defends.
But hey, even serial killers deserve defense attorneys at trial….
Psychiatrists deserve conviction, and INCARCERATION. IMHO.
So here’s some MORE, of MY VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT…..
May GOD DAMN ALL PSYCHIATRISTS.
They ALL belong in prison….
Thank-you, “s mc”! Your comment makes more sense to me now, than everything all those psychiatrists told me back then!….

I’m ok with it…..
But I was hoping there’d be more discussion of Meghan Caughey gracing us with her self-expressive creative writing assignment….

I think that crying over the “george floyd”, & “uvalde” type of propaganda stories is a measure not of strength and health, but rather of how brainwashed, controlled and manipulated we all are….
So-called “mental health challenges” is just another fraudulent & deceptive euphemism for “mental illness”, and BOTH terms are used as control mechanisms by TPTB….
As regards “Sandy Hook”, when the CT. State AG announced that he would NOT be releasing the final CT. State Police report, he claimed that his refusal was because if he did, “it would cause people to stop taking their meds”…..
Most mass-casulaty school shootings happen BECAUSE of psychiatry & psych drugs, not in spite of them….

I live in joy each day waiting for the dulcet tone poem words of Daiphanous Weeping willows drooping branches brushing the slow flowing stream of my now-slaked daily experience of consciousness as a liberated mental patient escaped the evil clutches of the fraudulent pseudoscience drug racket and social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”. She sates my word-thirst.
No, you dont get it, dude! Both meds and “meds” are the SAME THING!
DRUGS! DRUGS! DRUGS! DRUG$!
BOTH meds & “meds” are deliberately misleading euphemisms created by PhRMA, to $ELL DRUG$!….
And medicalize for profit off peoples suffering.
Psychiatry DRUG$ people!
How can they be meds, or “meds”, – same thing, – if there is NO BIOLOGICAL MEDICAL CONDITION? No medical, chemical, physical aspect to ANY so-called “mental illness”….
Yeah, people, let’s all argue about whether or not psychiatry is a “cult” or not, and ignore the FACT that the article is about the superstition of so-called “schizophrenia”, and whether or not “it” actually exists, what “it” is, etc.,….
Way to be lead astray, off-topic, and OUR POWER neutralized by our puppet-master overlords….
No wonder we have made so little progress in eradicating the scourge of psychiatry….
We’re an angry anthill fighting the elephant in the room….
Good luck with that, kids….
I believe “pseudoscience” is the single most ACCURATE word to describe psychiatry….
It’s not a true “cult”, as it lacks a single charismatic leader….

Peter, thats a GREAT comment, and I am in 99% agreement with everything you say. EXCEPT that 1%…..
You use the false, fraudulent, deliberately deceptive piece of psychiatric word salad “meds”, or “medications”. You’re not a paid PhRMA shill, are you?
No, I didn’t really think so.
So, NOT “MEDS”, or “medications”, but rather, DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS…and psychiatric DRUGS are ALL NEUROTOXINS. Well, 99% of psych DRUGS are neurotoxins.
Please adjust your brains language software accordingly.
Thank-you Peter!
Great comment, btw!
Sorry, Birdsong, but western medicine did NOT “devolve” into anything.
It works exactly as it was DESIGNED to….to $ell drug$ derived from petrochemicals…Ex: the Bayer Chemical company gave the world heroin, & aspirin in the 1890’s, and today they own evil Monsanto.
Modern western medicine is a DRUG RACKET ….

This is SO WRONG! Young Mr. Hojin Kwak puts his art & teenage experience on view for the world to see, and, (ok, maybe only a teeny, tiny fraction of 1% of the world will actually see this, but still, at age 15, NOBODY KNEW ME AT ALL…..)….
So, HoJin Kwak, you’ve got a pretty good start on your art! We only see 2 pieces here, and they could both be over a year old. I know that if you keep at it, even occasionally, your art skills WILL IMPROVE…. I like that you are trying to “say something”, in addition to doing art-for-the-sake-of-art…..
I totally get what you mean about the “downhill from here” part, but please believe me. THAT’S A LIE! Sure, you might believe that now, but, HOW DO YOU KNOW that your life will go “downhill”?…. Because some stupid adult told you that? And you believed them? Relax, most teens fall for the same trap. Try a slight shift in perspective: Take the next 10 years: By age 25 or 6, you will be a fully matured (physically!) adult. Probably with at least 1 Bachelor’s degree, maybe even a Master’s or PhD. Job. Spouse. Car. Motorcycle. Own apartment or house. Money in the bank. Crypto in your smartphone wallet. Whatever.
Why should that suck? Like, people in their 50’s, 60’s, & older are REALLY BUMMED?….
Some are, yeah, but not most. Expressing yourself through art, and creativity of ALL KINDS, is one of the best things you can do. And read some Dalai Lama. You CAN CHOOSE to BE HAPPY…. Finally, remember, the PEAK of hand-to-eye coordination is only reached by practice, training, and experience. Years of it! You’re just a teenaged kid. Compared to a Grandpa old fart like me! And I’m happy! You can be, too.
I’m sorry nobody ELSE commented here in the last week….
See if you can write a guest blog here?….

At least you’re not likely to fall prey to the pseudoscience lies of the drug racket & social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”….

My VISIONS are NEITHER “hallucinations”, nor are they “delusions”….and they are certainly NOT “schizophrenic”….
Feel free to reply, or not, but I certainly don’t expect you to, Daiphanous Weeping….
The DSM-5 makes the most sense, when you realize that it is first intended as a catalog of billing codes. AND, EVERYTHING in the DSM-5 was either invented, or created. NOTHING in it was “discovered”. When we consider the distictions in meaning between “invented” & “created”, and “discovered”, the fraud becomes clear. So-called “mental illnesses” were invented & created to serve as excuses to prescribe DRUG$….and justify forced & coercive “social interventions”, such as “ACT”, and other medical-fascist abominations and violations of basic human righrts in the name of “healthcare”…. Hopefully, we will NOT SEE a “DSM-6”,….

This may be a LONG comment…. I actually have some relevant FACTS to include here, along with my usual strongly-worded opinion arising out of my decades of lived experience. My lived experience began at 15, when I was taken to a quack psychiatrist, who slapped a bogus “diagnostic label” on me, then used that bogus label as an excuse to shove potent neuro-toxic drugs down my throat. My parents, especially my father, were also unwitting dupes and victims in this recruitment process. The next 20-25 years of my life were a living nightmare hell of psych drugs, incarcerations in jails and psych wards, including stays in a State prison, and 2 State mental hospitals. I successfully escaped over 25 years ago. You do the math. I’m a disabled retard….But enough about me….
I want to note 2 other prolific and valuable writers here, “bcharris”, and “dogworld”, who both comment above. There comments provide excellent context….
Samantha Lilly earns her gold star for her excellent reporting here.
The scholarship of Amy Gaeta seems also very high quality.
Maybe it’s simply a problem of brevity in these short articles, but I suspect not.
What Gaeta especially, and perhaps Lilly BOTH MISS, are evils best identified and expressed as:
1.TECHNOCRACY
2.TRANSHUMANISM
The reference and link, above, from “dogworld” is very welcome here.
The “World Economic Forum” is the playground-workshop of the Globalist Technocrat Transhumanists. The WEF is the brainchild creation of the evil Klaus Schwab, billionaire author of the book “The Great Reset”….
“The Great Reset” is the public playbook where the GLOBAL RULING ELITE & GLOBAL BANKSTERS, – the “GREG B.’s”,- lay out their plans for Global domination and subjugation and enslavement of humanity on Planet Earth.
These already too-rich-and-powerful people are actively enslaving humanity, and turning us all into slaves and robots. Technology is their tool, and WEAPON….
What Gaeta describes as happening on the internet, through websites and algorithms and personally-targetted “ads”, is merely a step towards directly connecting all 8 billion humans through global “IOT”, or the “Internet of Things”.
Through transnational corporations, humans are reconceptualized as nothing more than sources of money, power, and control by and for the rich ruling elites.
Who desire ALL the money, power, and control for themselves.
Make no mistake. These people really don’t care whether you or I live or die.
They want to drug us into submission.
They want to lull us into impotence by technology.
By “medical” “diagnosis”, then market products, drugs, and services to us, for THEIR benefit and profit, NOT OURS.
The algorithm writers don’t care about you, me, or us.
They ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.
THEY ARE EVIL HUMANS.
They are the TECHNOCRATIC TRANSHUMANISTS.
1.TECHNOCRACY
2.TRANSHUMANISM
The EVIL TWINS.
I haven’t yet followed the link which “dogworld” provided above, but I bet the woman referenced is Nita Farahany, a supreme transhumanist technocrat.
Her nightmare dream is for all humanity to be directly wired and controlled by a central, global authority. She spoke at the WEF recently, and video of her talk can be found online.
She truly believes that she is on the side of good.
But her ideology blinds her to the true evil which technocracy & transhumanism represents.
Farahany and her ilk have set themselves up as enemies of humanity, but of course they can’t see that legitimate perspective. She works for the Global Ruling Elite & Global Banksters, who want to enslave all humanity under THEIR POWER, PROFIT and CONTROL…..
Me? I work for ALL HUMANITY, trying to FREE ALL PEOPLE from the enslavements of ignorance, confusion, fear, and hatred….
Farahany is NOT my enemy. But Farahany has made me her enemy, by her own grossly-over-educated ignorance, and HUBRIS. But hubris is for another topic, another article, another day….
Yes, remote monitoring and control of a persons thoughts IS technologically possible….
May God have mercy on us all….

IMHO, so-called “anti-semitism”, just like so-called “racism”, has become empty of any real meaning. So many different people have accused so many other different people, in very different contexts, of both-either, that they are fast becoming meaningless insults….
BUT, the fact that so-called “anti-psychiatry” folks are now smeared with the “anti-semite” label, only PROVES to me, the complete intellectual bancruptcy of the pseudoscience drug racket known as “psychiatry”….
After all, psychiatry is nothing more than 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins….

More than race or Judaism, the one common denominator of Holocaust victims was

Current compliance to mask mandates, vaxx mandates, etc., in the Covid1984 Plandemic, are only in the maybe 40 – 60/70% range AT MOST…..
Looks to me that the 4th Reich is LESS successful at forcing compliance than the 3rd Reich was during 1933 – 1945…..
Psychiatrists were key drivers of Nazi policy in WW2….
WHY did psychiatry comply with, and ASSIST the Nazis?….

“You had a psychiatrist from the Upper East Side, a therapist from the Upper West Side, and you ended up with going through ECT, unbelievable!”” <– cut-n-pasted from above….
First, thank-you, Yael, for sharing some of your story here. Yes, I read your words very carefully, and I'm trying to understand what you're saying. I'd like to think that I have both empathy and understanding for your experiences as you describe them here. I myself was first psychiatrised and drugged with neuro-toxins at age 15, in 10th grade. After the catalyst of reading Dr. Peter Breggin's "Toxic Psychiatry" in 1993 started my snowball rolling downhill, I have been free of the scourge of psychiatry and psych drugs for well over 25 years now.
So I prefer to challenge directly an actual "faculty member from an Ivy League medical school", as you describe them. Please don't think that I am challenging you personally, Yael, or your experiences. But I think you strengthen the harsh judgement I have for the pseudoscience drug racket of psychiatry.
Whether a psychiatrist or therapist is from the Upper West or East Side of New York City, well, how in the HELL can that have ANY real bearing on a (supposedly) scientific "medical" "diagnosis"? Does being a medical school faculty member affect clinical judgement in the same way that neighborhood of origin does? What possible relevance does academic status have on a person's diagnostic abilities? What possible relevance or effect does neighborhood of origin and academic employment status have on precision of accuracy in prescribing the CORRECT "medication" for the CORRECT "diagnosis"?…..
Maybe you can see where I'm going with this line of questioning?….
Maybe you have some idea where I'm coming from here, in asking these questions?….
Maybe you feel that you have some answers to my questions, and that you understand my questions?….
So I'll be honest with you, Yael:
I don't really think that you, Yael, in your story above, or myself, in my comments & questions here, have ANY FRICKIN' IDEA WHAT either ONE of us IS REALLY TALKING ABOUT!….
Honestly, seriously, I am literally fabricating questions from the words I read here.
I have no idea what I'm really asking here.
I don't really care.
I don't really care whether this comment, and my questions, makes sense to anybody, or NOT….
Because, I think that once again, I am proving what I have been saying for DECADES NOW!:
"Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drugs racket, and a social control mechanism. It's 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good. The DSM-5 is best seen as a catalog of billing codes. EVERYTHING in the DSM was either invented or created. NOTHING in the DSM was DISCOVERED.
So-called "mental illnesses" such as "bi-polar" are exactly as "real" as presents from Santa Claus, but NOT MORE REAL….
To sum up, psychiatry is MEDICAL FASCISM PERSONIFIED….
Psychiatry is a form of only-sometimes-fatal GENOCIDE….
In short, PSYCHIATRY IS GENOCIDE….
ECT = Electro-Cution Torture….
Please, ANYBODY, prove me wrong….
Go ahead, I DARE YOU TO TRY to prove me wrong….
My current fantasy is that I will see an actual reply from Dr. Peter Gotzsche here!…..
I don't know whether I want to see Yael Anohi reply, or not….
We shall see what we shall see….but what in the hell can that be?….
In the scam pseudoscience of psychiatry, the imagination is the limit…..
In 1998, 2 employees of the local “community mental health center” called the local police, LIED, and claimed that I was suicidal. I was NOT suicidal. But, the local police used those LIES as an excuse to surround my apartment literally at gunpoint, force their way into my home, and almost literally drag me out naked in handcuffs. Actually, they let me put on pants & shoes and a shirt. I was at the time getting ready to take a shower, eat dinner, and get a good night’s sleep before a full day of college the next day….
I was taken in handcuffs to the local hospital emergency room. There, they attempted to force me to speak to some idiot “crisis worker”, and “confess” that I was “suicidal”….
I was NOT suicidal, and thus refused to lie & say that I was. Had I lied, I MIGHT have been put in the fairly comfortable “mental health unit”. But, because I was NOT suicidal, and refused to lie and say that I was, I was then taken under arrest to the local police station, arrested, charged, and held for $500. CASH BAIL…. I was eventually bailed out, so I didn’t have to go to the local JAIL…. But, by the time I FINALLY got back home, it was the next day…. That was almost 25 years ago….are things any better now?….
Not that I can see. If anything, things are WORSE….
IMHO, PROOFS that things are worse today include such abominations as “Trans Lifeline”, “Campaign For Psych Abolition”, “Blackline”, “Samaritans”, and “Crisis Caller’s Bill of Rights”….
You people are so brainwashed and blinded, that you can’t see that these groups are nothing more than different arrangements of deck chairs on the Titanic….
No, I can’t stop you from replying, but I’d rather you just KEEP THINKING…..
The best advice I could ever offer to a suicidal person would be,: “Go ahead, go, just don’t take anybody else with you.”….
If we don’t have a right to die, how can we have a right to live?….
Think about it….
COME ON! Who the hell writes these stupid headlines, anyway?….
I don’t believe that it would be at all correct, or just, if I were to blame Woanjun Lee….
I mean, the kid is still working on his master’s degree, so let’s cut him some slack, shall we?….
So here, please allow me to CORRECT the EGREGIOUS ERROR in the headline above:
“….acts of kindness WILL improve our mental health and social connections….”….
And, as EVERYBODY here knows, ORGANIZED UNKINDNESS, FOR PROFIT, with powerful NEURO-TOXINS, has a name: it’s called “psychiatry”…..
Torrey has “forgotten” nothing…..
The more so-called “mental illness” we have, the more apparent “need” for psychiatry & psych drugs….
But the more psychiatry & psych drugs we have, the more apparent “mental illness” we have….
And the more apparent “mental illness” we have, the more we SEEM TO need more psychiatry & psych drugs….enter Torrey & his bogus “solutions”…..
Literally, Torrey & his ilk have created our current “mental health crisis” through gross over-use of psychiatry & psych drugs….
Torrey is evil, but he is neither stupid nor forgetful….
What you describe, “Someone Else”, is exactly HOW Torrey&Co. have CREATED the “mental health crisis” they now pretend to “treat”, with even more forced drugging & incarceration….
Which is what created such a large problem to begin with!…..

No ifs, ands, or buts about it, psychiatry is CLEARLY, FULLY, smack dab on the side of HATE…..and GENOCIDE….

IMHO, the “E” in “E. Fuller Torrey” MUST STAND for EVIL…..
Certainly, he’s an evil little man….
And, in the “Time” magazine obituary for Dr. Thomas Szasz, the ONLY quote was from Dr. EVIL Fuller Torrey himself….
Truly, E. Fuller Torrey is my enemy….um, with all due respect. Which ain’t much, really….
I’d be surprised if Dr. Gotzsche remembers me, but years ago now, he & I had a brief email conversation. The general topic was a push in Europe, which has borne fruit in Japan, to do away with the word, “schizophrenia”, in formal medical & academic contexts…..
Originally, “schizophrenia”, which shares an etymological root with “schism”, implied that so-called “schizophrenics” had “split off” from normal society. Something like that. After all, semantics is a playground for the pseudoscience drug racket & social control mechanism known as psychiatry. But I digress….
So I am VERY, VERY GLAD to see Dr. Gotzsche’s work here…. I have carefully read his piece above, and I endorse it 100%.
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME….
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME!
DR. GOTZSCHE SPEAKS FOR ME….
And I will do what I can, to see that his words reach the widest possible audience as fast as humanly possible…..
Great-Uncle Dr. Peter Breggin must be proud of his nephew Dr. Peter Gotzsche!….
I know that I sure am!
BTW, I read Breggin’s “Toxic Psychiatry” in 1993, and have been SAVED from psychiatry since 1996. THANK GOD!….
You, “Birdsong” are one of my favorite commenters here.
So when I saw David Oaks apparently unfairly criticising and attempting to censor your comment, I felt compelled to defend both you, and myself.
Until & unless Benedetto denounces psychiatry, yes, Benedetto is MY ENEMY….
Psychiatry & psychiatrists are enemies of humanity.
That is my opinion, based on my lived experience….

Hayden, you don’t know squat about me. Click on my name, and review the HUNDREDS of comments I’ve written here. I was on the benzo clonazepam over 20 years. I began a long, slow taper off it, the day I went on it. I have been in 2 State loony bins, and did 6 months in a STATE PRISON FORENSIC UNIT. Also over a dozen shorter stays in the local hospital psych ward, or euphemism “mental health unit”…. I survived a HELL you probably have no clue about, kid. Today, I’m over 25 years drug & psychiatry FREE…..
Gee, dude, what happened to my alleged, supposed “mental illness”?…. Yes, I’m an asshole….but at least I don’t spout pseudoscience drug racket psychiatric crap….I actually CARE about the GENOCIDE of psychiatey….
You can imagine an infinite number and variety of “what if” scenarios, and even if somebody answered ALL of them, ALL of the answers would still be empty, meaningless rhetoric. Because the TRUTH is that psychiatry is a pseudoscience, and a drug racket. Yes, if literally MILLIONS of American school children are dosed daily with legal PhRMA drug version of METH-(AMPHETAMINE), sure, lots of them will SEEM to “concentrate more better in school.” Seems the child’s body actually metabolizes the METH/SPEED differently than adult bodies do. But that in NO WAY means that any of those kids “have ADHD”, nor does it mean that “ADHD drugs work.”…. Your entire argument is thus specious.

Yes, “many” meaning “as much as 10, 20, maybe even 30% wonderful, ethical, compassionate…”….

F U, psychiatry, and your NEURO-TOXINS!……
I read Breggin’s “Toxic Psychiatry” in about 1992….
in 1994, I was hospitalized for 2 weeks, when I went toxic on Trazodone, because the local “community mental health center” NEVER took a blood level test….
By 1996, I became 100% PSYCH DRUG FREE, and PSYCHIATRY-FREE…. Thank God. Today, I’m healthier & happier than ever….
But, the STIGMA they imposed on me still follows me around like an ankle chain….
Who knew, that at age 15, in 10th grade, I would receive the civil equivalent of a SENTENCE of “life without possibility of parole”?….
The lies of the pseudoscience of psychiatry are pernicious….
I love the TRUTH SONGS you sing, Birdsong…..
I didn’t think you were doing that!
When I had a near-fatal toxic withdrawal reaction to psych drugs, the State put me in PRISON for 6 months, then 3 months in the State mental hospital….where I was then kicked out too early, while I was still recovering!
That was decades ago, now, so….
I’m 25+ years PSYCH-FREE, & DRUG FREE, and I’m a happy man today….
Gee, what happened to my supposed “mental illness”?
Guess I CURED IT, by abandoning the pseudoscience lies of psychiatry & psych drugs!…. LOL!….
Keep singing your TRUTH, Birdsong!
So-called “fragile people”, and especially them, need affirming “allies” who will affirm EVERYTHING about such “fragile people”, including if not especially that which you would label “insane” & “unsound”…..
You write like somebody who hasn’t been pill-raped, needle-raped, hog tied, held in seclusion or isolation, physically assaulted, insulted, etc., as most of us here at MiA have, in the genocidal “mental health system”…..
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, & social control mechanism. It’s 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, far more harm than good. Especially to “fragile people”. The so-called “mental health system”, seen correctly & accurately, is in fact a system of genocide-for-profit….
What you are experiencing right now, Hayden, is known as “cognitive dissonance”….
PhRMA-manufactured delusions are being replaced with McLean’s well-written & well-researched truths….you’ll be ok….
Yes, Thomas, and NONE of those you describe are psychiatrists….
Although England is worse, even here in the U.S., so-called “inpatient psychiatric care” almost always involves kidnapping & either pill-raping, or needle-raping the victim-patient-consumer…. Isolation in sensory-deprivation-isolation holding cells is the norm….outright physical, mental, emotional, psychological, sexual abuse is the norm, – the ACTUAL standard of care. Not the glossed-over charade presented to the public….
Your hypothetical theoretical merely distracts from acknowledgement of the sick, evil, ugly REALITY of the pseudoscienece drug racket of psychiatry….
I understand the quote is from J. Krishnamurti….
Thank-you, Birdsong!….
Try this, Birdsong:
1.The American Psychiatric Association announces NO NEW MEMBERSHIPS, effective immediately….
Over years of time, the APA simply ceases to exista s it’s members get old and DIE OFF….
(I knew you’d like that last part, Birdsong!….)….
2.NO DSM 6, or even vi….The ENTIRE DSM can be simply replaced with a single diagnostic/billing code, that indicates the person IS ELIGIBLE for whatever “services” they freely choose, & that’s all….
3.Psychiatrists are allowed to practice pretty much as they do now, but they surrender all prescribing of pharmaceuticals.
4…..wake up from nightmare….
“It is no mark of sanity, to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society”. ~ garbled quote attributed to J.Krishnamurti….
Modern American society is SICK, as the result of “intelligent design”….
Psychiatry is unapologetically ANTI-religion, and ANTI-God…. Atheist, in policy and practice….
Find the legal, internationally-accepted definitions for “GENOCIDE”, and the various international genocide treaties. Look carefully at what psychiatry, psychiatrists, and psych DRUGS do, on a daily basis, to MILLIONS of people globally, and the one inescaopable TRUTH, is that psychiatry is medicalized, socialized, heavily-marketed & advertized on TV, GENOCIDE….
Psychiatry is the practice of genocide threough PhRMA drugs, and “Community Mental Health Centers”….
Prove me wrong? Yeah, right….
Psychiatry ALWAYS gives EVERYBODY the short end of the stick. Psychiatry itself, *IS* a short, dead stick….
Tim, It was the W.H.O., under the Ethiopian-warlord-CCP puppet Gabresias(sp?), along with Gates, GAVI, WEF, etc., who created the global Covid1984 Plandemic-Scamdemic…..
But I have not read the WHO “mental health” report.
Unless it condemns the pharmaceutical epidemic, & psychiatric genocide, it’s crap & garbage….
Psychiatrist: “OK, here’s your new script for Haldol, 500mg., and another for 500mg Thorazine. You’ll sleep 18 hours a day, and be logie the other 6. But with your HUD-funded housing voucher administered through the local landlord cabal, and your EBT Food Stamps/Cash assistance card good at Farmer’s Markets and CVS Pharmacy, and your SSI & SSDI debit card good ANYWHERE for ANYTHING, plus your daily social media, hey. you can walk, take the bus, get a ride from friends, of just stay home and isolate. What a glorious, compassionate life we give you!” Right?”….
Psychiatric patient: “R.I.P.”-anonymous….
Benzos are really only alcohol in pill form….
….or Cannabis in pill form….
Hardly a “psych treatment” like Electro-Cution Torture (“ECT”), or insulin coma….
Or a strait jacket or lobotomy….
Indeed, it’s the only thing that can….
That’s why “social distancing” was a key feature of the Covid1984 Plandemic-Scamdemic….
Sopolsky is a puppet & mouthpiece for the fatalists….
He is among those evil ones who deny human free will….
He’s a technocrat, and a transhumanist….
He spouts a false and deceptive narrative….
Who cares what he says?….
Chelsey,
The more $$$ you pay to see more so-called “medical professionals”, and the more PhRMA DRUGS you ingest, the sicker, unhealthier, and unhappier you will become. It’s that simple, but that’s probably too simple for you to believe.
So let me explain, as briefly as possible.
Do you know what “Rockefeller medicine” is?….
Do you KNOW for sure, the TRUTH, that PhRMA wants you to be sick, not healthy?
That U.S. & New Zealand are the ONLY 2 countries that allow direct-to-consumers drug advertising?….
Do you know that all the doctor visits, clinics, Etc., in the world, won’t change your character? That only the hard work of the heart can do that?….
How many nervous systems, & fluid systems does the human body have?
Do you know what is a woman? Or are you so woke that you’re a cultural zombie?
You don’t REALLY believe the official government narrative about 9/11 do you? REALLY?….
You didn’t get jabbed, did you? Too late! If you got vaxxxed, congratulations! You’re now a human guinea pig in the largest uncontrolled, multiple confounding variable HUMAN EXPERIMENT EVER!….You shoulda stayed in the control group! Oh, well! Too bad!….
I hope you know the TRUTH, though, that psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, and a mechanism of social control. It’s 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neurotoxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good…..
Well, DUH!….How stupid are these lame-brain “researchers?….. So, they create, maintain, and perpetuate STIGMA, then look to see how much stigma there is, and it’s AT LEAST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE STIGMA THAN EVER!….
Well, Duh!
Psychiatry IS STIGMA manifested and masquerading as something else. All those so-called “schizophrenics” are worthy of our contempt….because psychiatry deems them worthy of their stigma….
Oh, Tammy, Tammy, Tammy!…. I really am so sorry that you, too, had to learn the AWFUL TRUTH!
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, and a mechanism of social control. It’s 21st Century Phrenology, with potent neuro-toxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good. So-called “mental illnesses” are exactly as “real” as presents from Santa Claus, but NOT more real…. The DSM is in fact better seen as a catalog of billing codes. Everything in it was either invented or created. NOTHING in it was discovered. Psychiatry is FRAUD. But it $ELLS DRUG$….

Jenifer, you’re in a semantic merry-go-round with the phrase “mental illness”. try this: “So-called “mental illnesses” are imaginary diseases, invented to $ell drug$….and, “The DSM is in fact a catalog of billing codes. EVERYTHING in it was either invented or created, – NOTHING in it was discovered.”….That’s a start.
You do NOT understand Szasz….

Oh, Brenda, Brenda…. I’m so glad you decided to continue your post-High School education, de-indoctrination, and de-programming here at MiA.
You have come to the right place, my friend.
First, “the brain”, as you call it, is NOT a discrete human bodily organ, as the pancreas, or spleen, liver, lungs, etc…. What we call “the brain”, is merely the neuronal mass contained within the skull. The human body has 4 nervous systems, & 4 fluid systems. There are more neurons in the gut, than in the brain. MOST so-called “neurochemicals” are made in the gut, not the brain.
A TRUE “chemical imbalance of the brain” is scientifically impossible.
Actually, MANY psychiatrists HAVE BEEN CONVICTED of all sorts of crimes. Psychiatry has insinuated itself into our legal system, via HUGE payments from PhRMA to Congress & other politicians.
I have already here given you weeks of supporting research for your continued edification. Any of Mr. Robert Whitaker’s, or Dr. Peter Breggin’s books are also excellent primers to begin to free your enslaved mind.
WELCOME to MiA!

To quote Bob Marley:
“I’m sick & tired of your ISM SCHISMS….”….
Until & unless you’re prepared to equally reject capitalism, AND it’s bastard child, the pseudoscience drug racket & social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”, your comments have no validity….
100% pure psychobabble. Gobbledygook. Ridiculous nonsense…..
Yes, I read and understood this quite well. That’s how I know for sure.
PSYCHOBABBLE. GOBBLEDYGOOK. MENTAL MASTURBATION.
Psychiatry is a fraudulent drug racket & social control mechanism.
Looks like it’s in it’s dearth throes.
Spenser, Carel, & Lilly should hook up & do a TikTok remake of the old nursery rhyme, “Three Blind Mice”….
“Oh, NO!, Don’t you dare de-pathologize me! I love my mental illness! How else can I get free Gubmint money for not working and sitting around smoking pot all day?”….
OK, that last line was a little snarky….
Honestly, I’d love to see Spenser, Carel, & Lilly, all 3, be forced to say unequivocally,
whether so-called “mental illness” is something that ALL of us have, or else NONE of us have. There’s only ONE human mind, so how can it be otherwise?….
Glad to see that you agree that mental patients “very often ARE dangerous”, Steve….
I’m really sad to see this crap. How many Democrats consider themselves “liberal”, or “leftist/left-wing”? Most, right? How many know that “neoliberalism”, as used above, is NOT THAT?….
I’m hearing a lot of complaining, and self-pity. And otherwise educated clinicians & “activists” feeling sorry for these oppressed addicts.
Got to throw in the “anti-capitalist/anti-capitalism”, too, except capitalism is WHY we have illegal drugs & drug addicts in the first place.
No doubt there are major social and systemic problems. And that’s true on BOTH social & individual levels. Healthy, well-adjusted adults rarely, if ever, fall into addiction….
No, sorry, I don’t see how yet another nuanced critique of life really helps anybody, except the virtue-signallers….
The opposite or addiction is connection, not recovery. “Recovery” is a large & slippery enough word to mean what ever anybody wants it to….
There’s no doubt in my mind, the authors here have ZERO lived experience in A.A.-style 12-Srtep recovery….
And finally, from a BOLD-HIGHLIGHTED part above, what the HELL is “types of substance use that are capable of (de)constructing structural inequities.”?….
Are they DE-constructing, or CON-structing?….
But anyway, I want to thank MiA for showing us more of what THE PROBLEM IS….
IMHO, people who think like Sandra McNeil are part of the problem, NOT the solution….
Alishia, I hope you see this comment, and reply me what you think:____
Currently, we have a system-centered system, and a process-centered process. It’s BROKEN….
We NEED a services-centered system, and a person-centered process….
I see IPS, – Intentional Peer Support, – as our best current hope to achieve that….
Yes, I have carefully read the article, but without going farther down the rabbit hole of clicking & reading the links for more excruciating detail. I read carefully all the comments, many from others whose comments I have long been familiar with. And most with direct lived experience of the damage done by the pseudoscience drug racket known as psychiatry. Yes, I say again.
PSYCHIATRY IS ORGANIZED FRAUD & PSEUDOSCIENCE.
PSYCHIATRY HAS DONE, & continues to do, FAR MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
The best thing I’ve done in my life was reject psychiatry & psych drugs.
And, judging by the people I know, who are still victimized by psychiatry & neuro-toxic drugs, this article is a pathetic attempt to absolve the GUILTY.
The annual APA Conference is a veritable ORGY of PhRMA advertising.
Follow the MONEY.
Kriegman seems to be a typical leftist apologist. Nothing he says here is at all new, except for a few minor details.
Kriegman, IMHO, is equally culpable as the money-loving psychiatrists he so adroitly defends.
But hey, even serial killers deserve defense attorneys at trial….
Psychiatrists deserve conviction, and INCARCERATION. IMHO.
So here’s some MORE, of MY VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT…..
May GOD DAMN ALL PSYCHIATRISTS.
They ALL belong in prison….
Thank-you, “s mc”! Your comment makes more sense to me now, than everything all those psychiatrists told me back then!….
And thanks, also, for the chance to re-read my comment above, from 5 months ago! I see the good Dr. Kelmonson will NOT debate me! LOL!….

I hope Slate gives a little $$$ to MiA, for generating 10% of the comments on this article! I get an almost perverse personal pleasure out of offending & educating such a small & irrelevIant group of over-educated idiots! LOL! Thank-YOU, Robert Whitaker!
Looks like the comment section got hijacked by the boans-rasselas dialogue. TLDR.
I’m ok with it…..
But I was hoping there’d be more discussion of Meghan Caughey gracing us with her self-expressive creative writing assignment….
I’d have a mental illness, too, if a media news story could reduce me to tears….
I think that crying over the “george floyd”, & “uvalde” type of propaganda stories is a measure not of strength and health, but rather of how brainwashed, controlled and manipulated we all are….
So-called “mental health challenges” is just another fraudulent & deceptive euphemism for “mental illness”, and BOTH terms are used as control mechanisms by TPTB….
As regards “Sandy Hook”, when the CT. State AG announced that he would NOT be releasing the final CT. State Police report, he claimed that his refusal was because if he did, “it would cause people to stop taking their meds”…..
Most mass-casulaty school shootings happen BECAUSE of psychiatry & psych drugs, not in spite of them….

I live in joy each day waiting for the dulcet tone poem words of Daiphanous Weeping willows drooping branches brushing the slow flowing stream of my now-slaked daily experience of consciousness as a liberated mental patient escaped the evil clutches of the fraudulent pseudoscience drug racket and social control mechanism known as “psychiatry”. She sates my word-thirst.
No, you dont get it, dude! Both meds and “meds” are the SAME THING!
DRUGS! DRUGS! DRUGS! DRUG$!
BOTH meds & “meds” are deliberately misleading euphemisms created by PhRMA, to $ELL DRUG$!….
And medicalize for profit off peoples suffering.
Psychiatry DRUG$ people!
How can they be meds, or “meds”, – same thing, – if there is NO BIOLOGICAL MEDICAL CONDITION? No medical, chemical, physical aspect to ANY so-called “mental illness”….
Yeah, people, let’s all argue about whether or not psychiatry is a “cult” or not, and ignore the FACT that the article is about the superstition of so-called “schizophrenia”, and whether or not “it” actually exists, what “it” is, etc.,….
Way to be lead astray, off-topic, and OUR POWER neutralized by our puppet-master overlords….
No wonder we have made so little progress in eradicating the scourge of psychiatry….
We’re an angry anthill fighting the elephant in the room….
Good luck with that, kids….
I believe “pseudoscience” is the single most ACCURATE word to describe psychiatry….
It’s not a true “cult”, as it lacks a single charismatic leader….
“Democracy Now”? You mean “American Pravda”!, LOL!….

Peter, thats a GREAT comment, and I am in 99% agreement with everything you say. EXCEPT that 1%…..
You use the false, fraudulent, deliberately deceptive piece of psychiatric word salad “meds”, or “medications”. You’re not a paid PhRMA shill, are you?
No, I didn’t really think so.
So, NOT “MEDS”, or “medications”, but rather, DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS ARE DRUGS…and psychiatric DRUGS are ALL NEUROTOXINS. Well, 99% of psych DRUGS are neurotoxins.
Please adjust your brains language software accordingly.
Thank-you Peter!
Great comment, btw!
Sorry, Birdsong, but western medicine did NOT “devolve” into anything.
It works exactly as it was DESIGNED to….to $ell drug$ derived from petrochemicals…Ex: the Bayer Chemical company gave the world heroin, & aspirin in the 1890’s, and today they own evil Monsanto.
Modern western medicine is a DRUG RACKET ….
