So can you imagine. You have your mental illnesses. But you say, if I had the mental illness I do now but I live in Europe and the year is 1942. You gasp and say but I am not mentally ill enough to be sent to an institution! Why I would be able to take my meds at home and with the support and understanding of my family! No way that would end up murdered because of that! That is because you have to remember the year was in the early forties. Thorozine had not been invented yet let alone all the other wonderful drugs some of us complain we have to take. And the DSM IV? There wasn't even a DSM! So, here we are without meds, without the research we have today. No patients bill of rights, no support groups of any kind. Still think you would be cared for at home instead of being sent to an asylum? Go ahead and close your eyes and imagine how your particular issues manifest themselves without out any kind of treatment. Still think your safe. I know I would be considered "life unworthy of life".
