Exiting Psychiatry

Psychiatry has taken our emotional/spiritual problems and made them biological/brain problems. When you take a person’s emotional suffering and blame it on their lack of cognitive ability due to unproven biological reasons (chemical imbalance), more psychological/mental damage can occur, along with potential physiological damage from the side effects of medication.

The following is a list of things that helped me become professionally “undiagnosed” by a psychiatrist from Bipolar Disorder and off medication.

(Do not EVER stop taking your medication cold turkey or without professional help!!!)

  1. Belief in a higher power

We must stop believing that a diagnosis has to be life long. You have to do your own hard work and research to get to the root cause and solutions. Medication may be necessary for some time and there is nothing wrong with that. What works for one, may not work for all. Always believe there is hope.

Here are a few videos I highly recommend

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
