No One Should Be Forced
To Take Psychiatric Drugs
To the Editor:
As a man diagnosed with a mental illness for the past 20+ years, I have the lived experience to give the public a patient's view of the dangers of psychiatric drugs. They are not at all what most people, including those who are mentally ill, think they are.
If you were to Google "Psychiatric Drugs: Cure or Quackery?" by Lawrence Stevens J.D., you would get some startling but very accurate information about psychiatric drugs, what they really are and what they really do.
The worst thing that often happens to someone who is involuntarily committed to a psychiatric unit and/or mental hospital (especially in the U.S.) is that their rights are often limited and sometimes violated by a psychiatrist who forces psychiatric "medications" on them – against their will. This has happened to me many times over the years.
