    Published in 2006 - Edited in 2026 “Come Mohandas, it is time for your interview with the doctor.” “Yes, coming.” Rishi, a young assistant, dressed in a freshly starched uniform walked ahead, as he led a tired old man, with balding head, thinly covered with greying hair, to the consulting rooms. At his soft knock, a deep voice from inside replied, “Come in.” “Sir, patient No. 33.” The square room was sparsely furnished. At the far end, there was a wooden table with two […]

  9. [It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

  27. Death of a patient with mental illness at Shattuck Hospital raises allegations of ‘neglect’

    by Jenifer B. McKim, May 08, 2023, Updated August 07, 2023

    "A 60-year-old Black man committed to #LemuelShattuck Hospital’s #psychiatric ward died a 'painful, untimely death' due in part to the state’s failure to provide adequate health care, according to a report released Monday.

    "#HaywoodEarl, residing at the public hospital in Jamaica Plain, likely would have survived his bout with skin cancer if he’d received a timely diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment, the nonprofit Disability Law Center concluded in a 28-page report."

    [...]

    "Earl’s case is coming to light nearly two months after an investigation by the #GBH News Center for Investigative Reporting revealed a history of problems at the hospital, documented by patients, prisoners and former employees."

  29. If you come to me with a #story about #psychiatric #abuse, your final point better not be something along the lines of "and this was so wrong and unnecessary because I don't ACTUALLY have schizophrenia* (*or any other heavily #stigmatized #diagnosis or symptom)" Kill the #cop in your head that tells you that there are a distinct group of mentally ill people who really need forced treatment and actually do benefit from it

  31. And I don't know if it's my trauma making me a killjoy, but I really really don't think "#someone should force #psychiatric treatment on you" is a funny clapback at all ever

  33. #RFK Jr. blames pills—not guns—for #schoolshootings
    #Kennedy is now using his post as the highest-ranking #US health official to spread the claim that #psychiatric drugs are a key cause of mass shootings at the nation’s schools and beyond. The idea, essentially, is that #antidepressants and other meds may inadvertently turn people into killers. There is no scientific evidence to support that theory—and extensive research indicates it is untrue.

  35. #Facts about #involuntary #psychiatric hold:

    The #UnitedNations recognises it as a form of #torture.

    It increases #suicide risk by 191 times.

    It increases the risk of #dying from heart #disease and stroke by 3.5 times (no shit on that one, forcing extremely high doses of heavy drugs on someone without even titrating it does that)

    45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual #violence during an admission.

    You are a shitty #person if you try to get someone involuntarily committed.

  37. #Utah already has a severe shortage of #psychiatric beds, she noted. The #legislature is unlikely to fund hundreds of new beds, & even if it did, there is no work force to staff them.

    Without enormous new spending, she said, the center could function less as a treatment facility than “a prison or a warehouse.”

    The emerging portrait of the center, scheduled to open in 2027, brings to life a vow that #Trump made 2 years ago in an extraordinary campaign video.
