Oh, thank you. I hadn't seen this before. My thoughts on that are, firstly, I used to believe psychiatry is evil. But the psychiatry of today is much more compassionate in a general way than it used to be, and hopefully it will just get more so. When I was in college in the 1970s, that was my first experience of psychiatry. It was pretty bad. I spent the next 35 years avoiding psychiatry at all costs, and suffering from my conditions, but free of meds. Granted I never had anything new happen in those years. I never had hallucinations, etc. But I did still have my original illness.

When I began seeing a new psychiatrist (for meds I had been taking, prescribed by a GP), I did not trust the Atypical antipsychotics. That was too bad because a new thing did start, I did begin to have hallucinations. Fast forward about 7 years, and now I couldn't get by without an aap med. The hallucinations I had were absolute torture.

This is getting to be a lot of rambling, sorry. Can't organize my thoughts well anymore.

In conclusion, although for most of my life I believed psychiatrists and their meds were the devil, I now am very grateful for the meds because they rescued me from horrible suffering. I wouldn't be taking meds if there were nothing wrong with me. I'm not sure I faithfully addressed your question. :/
