It is refreshing to hear from someone in this business who is smart and motivated and really cares about the people under her care.

But I believe in reading my post about being tortured and molested in physch wards, most did not take note that it happened thirty years ago.

By making such sweeping generalizations -that all MH providers are evil-I believe I have done a disservice to those who DO care.

There will always be those who are drawn to this profession for the wrong reasons, but it is what it is and we just have to be pro-active about our own care, and help take care of each other.

As for the things I have endured by not being correctly diagnoses for forty years-are in the past, where they belong. And that is where I will keep them.

And for any newcomer who has been following this thread, don't be afraid to ask for help. The invasions of privacy and the other injustices are few and far between these days.
