Yum yum: debate continued
This just in, from Laura:
Could Kent possibly comment on what he believes encompasses the evil side of the psychiatry industry? I get that he believes there is one, and I’m inclined to agree to a certain extent, but let’s talk specifics. Just being glad one is not taking psych meds and doing reasonably well is not an actual critique. Maybe I missed a post somewhere??
No system is perfect and no treatment plan can work for everyone as we are all so different. I think there are many incarcerated people, however, that would love an opportunity to experience psychiatry in its current state. It’s sort of a continuum, in my mind. But let’s hear some call to action points from Kent.
And from Adam:
I definitely agree with Kent – the system as it stands does a lot of damage. And surely, it does take courage to ask for help – and absolutely, there are people who HAVE been helped. But I think that it also takes courage to trust yourself and your own judgment enough to say, this is NOT helping me, this is NOT safe for me.

In 2002, the members of President Bush’s New Freedom Commission shared the “united belief that America’s mental health delivery system is in shambles.” In 2006, NAMI gave our nation’s mental health system a D. Can a system in shambles, a grade D system, regularly foster those outcomes which do not reflect its own condition?
