Critical Psychiatry Textbook, Chapter 8: Depression and Mania (Affective Disorders) (Part Ten) – Mad In America

Some interesting points.. RX can distort psychological, physical, trauma , and induce symptoms of depression and ” mania “.. for me proudly deep manifestations of shadow , total non cooperative body , speech , etc . It did ultimately show me the darkness of a partner who projected , and triangulated , mocking all I held sacred .. far too casual a marriage , slaughtering each and every vow . I was ” responsible ” and he needed a scapegoat , and energetically a “Supply” .Thankfully , my death did not part us…but it sure felt like a tomb ,

Involuntary Commitment for Substance Use Leads to Relapse

Yep, it’s like jail, with nothing corrected , one returns to what one knows .

The system is broken, no checks , no balances .

Lots of mentally ill in jails and prisons , homeless , dumped due to lack of psychiatric hospitals , poverty , and incorrect treatments , toxic meds that adversely affect mind, body and socially…

So until we treat mind, body , spirit , nutritionally balance them, and give them as much support and faith as possible , we have failed

” mental health ” as we treat “behavioral” health .

A dehydrated individual , can present as ” crazy ” ..alcohol dehydrates , and one can appear drunk , when dehydrated . Thyroid can really throw out vibes of mental illness , and the very medications prescribed can induce what looks like mental illness .

Trauma can be the root cause of what’s labeled mental illness . And labeling can arise when a psychiatrist ignores these facts and laughs off side effects because his book of stats tells him it’s 4 out of a hundred that are adversely affected horrifically , leading to more professionals , more time, more money for treatments .. A pyramid…

It must end ..

It’s co joined twins , Big Pharma $$$$, AMA$$$$,and APA $$$$, and lots in between , termed The Industry of Death , destroying and erasing families, distorting realities , creating customers ..

It is ending ..

A new study found that patients involuntarily committed for substance use disorder relapsed within the first year after release.
