Actually I knew I was "Different" when I was Five
And lived with the terror of becoming stigmatised ever since. And it seems to me if people within the "Mental Health" System just throw drugs at you instead of caring for the psychological needs of the patient then claiming the Moral high ground about caring for Human Beings is very hypocritical. The very first time I presented in a "High" was when I was sexually abused. No counselling - not even any curiosity. It would seem if they stick a diagnosis of "Bi-Polar" on you Drugs are somehow all you deserve. Another time I entered directly after a murder attempt had been made on my life. Still no curiosity and it was as if I was guilty because I was Bi-Polar. In my opinion, when the chips are down, no one sticks up for the Mentally Ill. There should automatically be a guardian or advocate appointed from outside the family appointed because people suffering from Mental Illness are often Identity Factors in dysfunctional families. The last straw, however, was being accused of sexually molesting my own child, and not being protected against vicious accusations by my Lawyers. I wanted a defamation action to be undertaken. I don't think I ever recovered from that. Patients Rights are still not protected in the "Mental Health System" and the Legal System. It seems such an empty parade that patients rights are supposedly protected, when, if you make a complaint you are fobbed off with nothing short of veiled contempt.
