We admitted Tom to a developmental disabilities unit at a psychiatric hospital nearby in January 31 – as you know things had been very hard for a long time. They were getting really difficult at school as well. Meds weren’t helping and they kept prescribing one on top of another without taking the prior one away, because they’re psych meds and you have to taper and there’s no time for that when he’s in crisis. He’s been ready to be discharged for about 2 1/2 months, in my opinion. The hospital team suggests residential placement – since nearly the time he was admitted. He’s doing so well now and the hospital team are seeing that he’s now having aggression because he’s sort of pushing back against the very restrictive environment. But there was no in home support to be found (no applicants) and wait lists a mile long with no guesstimate as to when a spot would be available….so he’s just been living in the hospital. He asks to come home almost every day and for sure when we visit. He even asks for his school teachers and speech and OT and school social worker. I miss him so much.

Our stories are similar , I did not have electroshock
Even Mary’s wedding picture looks like mine .
Much admiration and gratitude for Mary’s every effort to educate and earn others .
Hindsight as Evidence
I write this on the eve of my 48th wedding anniversary
This year on November 8th I hopefully will be 75 years strong. I met Jim in 1973. I have known him for almost 5O years..When we published our book in 2006 I did not have my medical records. Sixteen years later I am much wiser about my personal history and the history of the corrupt relationship between psychiatry, allopathic medicine, the state and other professions, especially the law.
Since becoming prescription drug-free at the turn of the Millenium I did everything humanly possible to find out the truth about what really happened to me when I was electroshocked and drugged by medical professionals. It was only then that I could look back at my terrible, traumatic experience which was and still is the living torture of survivors of psychiatry.
When we wrote our book ‘ Soul Survivor – A Personal Encounter With Psychiatry’ I was so damaged by bio/coercive/deceptive psychiatry that I thought I would not live to see it published. However, as the years went by I became stronger in mind, body and spirit. We could have written many more books since but those who know me and have found out more true facts themselves are aware that I have always been actively involved in speaking out and doing groundwork ever since. I have been privileged to get to know so many, outstanding, kind human beings. A big Thank You to every single person who crossed my path. Indeed if we were able to include our work together we would have much more evidence than the six week, deceptive, experimental trials that are passed as evidence by Irish psychiatrist Patricia Casey and her companions.
As Patricia said it is indeed her bread and butter. She has a vested interest in believing that contrived drug trials funded by Big, Corrupt Corrupt Companies will produce real evidence. Her christanity would have taught her what 30 pieces of silver can do and how angry Jesus Christ was about people collecting money outside a temple but she thinks that it is okay to accept bribes from co operations with clearly vested interests. When she was the main speaker, I and other members of MindFreedom Ireland heard her speak strongly in favour of the chemical imbalance theory many years ago. It was funded by Big Pharma. We challenged her then and we still challenge her today but were kept silent then and we are still kept silent today. The established media bow to so-called professionals who read biassed books and medical journals and are more interested in protecting themselves than those they feign to ‘help’.
We on the other hand are labelled with fictional, non-scientific ‘diagnoses’ ( ironically diagnose means to understand!) with no medical biomarkers to establish their labels exist. We are legally treated as sub/non-human and told that this is not discrimination. The law protects psychiatry and psychiatry protects the law. The state protects psychiatry and psychiatry protects the state. Then the established media protects all three. Is it any wonder we are kept silent? Is it any wonder that we feel distressed? Is it any wonder we find it difficult to be employed? Is it any wonder we are so easily drugged/electroshocked? Is it any wonder the marginalised who comprise most of the population are victims?
It can seem like there is no way out but we know the truth. We know it and many others, fortunate enough not to be labelled and drugged by psychiatry can find our way to be our own media. Everyone can do this the old-fashioned, real way by word of mouth. It was because of word of mouth that I had music pupils!! Thankfully psychiatry did not deprive me of my ability to teach also. It made it much more difficult. It was a miracle. It gave me some appreciation of my own ability.
To survive hardship we need to be strong. Psychiatry labels us weak while many who define us are very weak themselves. We need to be strong to know we are fragile. We need to be strong to say we are sorry. Everyone makes mistakes. It is by our mistakes we learn. If we continue to make the same mistakes many times it is difficult to learn. The history of psychiatry is a litany of mistakes. Yesterday’s errors become tomorrow’s and tomorrow’s while the litany of victims becomes longer and longer.
To break this cycle the public needs to wake up. I know it is difficult when most people can be very stressed finding their basic needs. Evolution requires constant change. We have got the ability to make choices. As Vandana Shiva reminds us so wisely we start with the soil. In order to protect ourselves first let us start at the beginning. We came from mother earth and we go back to it! We are honoured to play our part. Mary Maddock
Chemical Imbalance :Junk Science
Psychologist and CCHR Commissioner Dr. Toby Watson brings up an extremely valid point: if psychiatrists knew that there was no scientific basis for the chemical imbalance theory, as many are now stating, why weren’t they exposing this to the mainstream media? Or complaining to the FDA for “allowing aspirational language that the drugs ‘help to restore the brain’s chemical balance’ and ‘bring serotonin levels closer to normal’ even though both claims were, and remain, scientifically meaningless.” Mainstream psychiatry did not expose the chemical imbalance myth in the more than 30 years it’s been falsely promoted, did not fight for informed consent, did not demand to see scientific evidence supporting this marketing claim and did not fight for patients rights to have factual information. But we did. And so did many of our commissioners like Dr. Toby Watson.

Wise Observations via Steve Jobs
The story has that the last words of Steve Jobs, a billionaire, were shortly before he died at the age of 56:
“I have reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In the eyes of others, my life is a success. Aside from work, I have had little joy. In the end, wealth is just a fact I’ve become accustomed to.
Right now I’m in the hospital remembering my entire life, all the recognition and wealth I’ve been so proud of, has faded and become insignificant in the eyes of impending death.
You can hire someone to drive your car or make money for you, but it is impossible to hire someone to take sickness and die for you.
Material things lost can be found again. But there is one thing that never returns if it is lost: life.
Whatever stage of life we are in, over time we will face the day that the curtain closes.
Therefore, love your family, your partner, your children and friends.. Treat them right. Cherish them.
As we get older and wiser we slowly realize that your $300 or $30 watch both give the same time
Whether we have a $300 or $30 wallet, the amount in it is the same.
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the road and the distance are the same, and we reach the same destination.
Whether we drink a $1000 bottle of wine or $10, the hangover is the same.
Whether the house we live in is 100 or 1000 m2, the loneliness is the same.
You will realize that your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.
Whether you travel first class or second class, if the plane crashes you fall down…
That’s why I hope you realize when you have friends, children, family, siblings, that it’s important that you talk, laugh, sing. Because that is real happiness!
An indisputable fact in life:
Don’t teach your children to be rich.
Teach them to be happy.
Teach them about the value of things and not the price.
Life is beautiful! ”

Childress on Child Abuse
In the absence of child abuse, parents have the right to parent according to their cultural values, their personal values, and their religious values.
In the absence of child abuse, each parent should have as much time and involvement with their child as possible.
In the absence of child abuse, to restrict either parent’s time and involvement with their child would damage the child’s attachment bond to that parent, thereby harming the child and harming the parent.
Is there child abuse? Let’s get a proper risk assessment for possible child abuse.
Either,
1) child abuse by the targeted parent accounting for the child’s attachment pathology toward that parent,
Or.
2) child psychological abuse by the allied parent, i.e., a shared persecutory delusion created by the collapse of a narcissistic-borderline personality parent surrounding divorce.
One way or the other, we’re looking at a likely child abuse diagnosis. We need a proper risk assessment for possible child abuse.
From Walters & Friedlander: “In some RRD families [resist-refuse dynamic], a parent’s underlying encapsulated delusion about the other parent is at the root of the intractability (cf. Johnston & Campbell, 1988, p. 53ff; Childress, 2013). An encapsulated delusion is a fixed, circumscribed belief that persists over time and is not altered by evidence of the inaccuracy of the belief.” (Walters & Friedlander, 2016, p. 426)
From Walters & Friedlander: “When alienation is the predominant factor in the RRD [resist-refuse dynamic}, the theme of the favored parent’s fixed delusion often is that the rejected parent is sexually, physically, and/or emotionally abusing the child. The child may come to share the parent’s encapsulated delusion and to regard the beliefs as his/her own (cf. Childress, 2013).” (Walters & Friedlander, 2016, p. 426)
Walters, M. G., & Friedlander, S. (2016). When a child rejects a parent: Working with the intractable resist/refuse dynamic. Family Court Review, 54(3), 424–445.
What is the diagnosis? Is there a shared persecutory delusion? We need an answer to that question.
If the mental health person cannot answer that question – is there a shared persecutory delusion? – then they are pointless to the situation because we need an answer to that question.
IT… IS… SIMPLE. Is there a shared persecutory delusion? Yes? No?
How do they know if they don’t even look to see? Do the child’s symptoms meet diagnostic criteria for a persecutory delusion? How about we use Item 11 on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale for Unusual Thought Content (delusions), “one of the oldest, most widely used scales to measure psychotic symptoms,” to rate the delusional quality of the belief.
Or you can write the answer on a napkin. Tell us by smoke signals for all I care… we just need an answer, is there a shared persecutory delusion – a fixed and false belief in supposed “victimization”?
The treatment for cancer is different than the treatment for diabetes. Diagnosis guides treatment. If we treat cancer with insulin then the patient dies from the misdiagnosed cancer.
What is the diagnosis?
“I don’t diagnose, I don’t like to pathologize” Then you’re a pretty worthless person to the situation because we need a diagnosis.
Is there child abuse? V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse? Why are we not routinely getting an answer to that question for court-involved family conflict?
They deserve to lose their license. Look at all they’re putting you through because they won’t diagnose Child Psychological Abuse (V995.51) when it’s warranted. They have duty to protect obligations, and they are not protecting your child.
Knowledge is power. Planning is power. The pathogen is now-reactive. Plan ahead, move step-by-step on a linear path to the goal. You want a written treatment plan to fix things please.
Google mental health treatment plans and read the first two returns – one of those please.

Spiritual Warfare : Update
Much of what he says I have
heard or equates and makes
sense given current status
and events .
This does boil down to war
of spirit and shadow . It only
takes 11% of the worlds
population to effect change
and this return to love is
New Earth’s core which is
not going to be everyone’s
experience .
Lightening our ” loads ” ,
laying burdens down , know
truths are liberating as the
tribes form and we are the
force of evolution leaping
quantum style and these
horrific cycles never show
up again.
Sacrifices have been tragic in
this leap , as those who have
not awakened struggle and
hold tighter to their imbalance
of mind , body and spirit .
Fear and anger prevail and
not only affect your health
but fail to attract the more
positive experiences . Ease
Peace and Faith guide my
Love and that remains .
This is a big freaking deal
and I’m Thankful for my
personal transformations
of decades and the ancestral
bloodlines benevolent support
and trust !
Blessings & Peace ,
Dona Luna ❤️🙏🌈😘
