Give me a Straight Jacket or Shock Treatment PLEASE
To give an example of why I think that the present Psychiatric System IS STILL BARBARIC is that one of my lovely Psychiatrists told me, that, without Medication, the Average High of a Bi-Polar Patient would be TWO WEEKS. I used to go LUCID to the HOSPITAL requesting help because I could feel a High coming on. Unfortunately LARGATOL seemed only to intensify the High and they loaded me with "Enough to kill an Elephant" for 8 weeks in an average stay. And then I'd be put out into the Community with the intellectual dexterity of a four year old. I see how handicapped I was by the childishness of the drawings directly after leaving the Psychiatric Hospital. If I had my time over again I would DEMAND SHOCK TREATMENT because SHOCK TREATMENT is so effective at CALMING one down from a HIGH. Otherwise a STRAIGHT JACKET would still be PREFERABLE! Even my Psychiatric Nurse testified to the counter productivity of POURING LARGACTOL into people when it ISN'T CALMING THEM. Thankfully LARGACTOL is not quite as popular as it used to be but that is just one example of a hundred that I could give.

ReplyDeleteDear M.B
ReplyDeleteCan I just remind you that you are a HUMAN BEING before you are a Psychiatric Patient. I'm sorry that you are having such a hard time. It sounds cruel that the Doctor is making you pay full price for the Medication. I didn't realise that I had a message so sorry about that. I would go to your local M.P. or another Doctor. Wish I could be of more help
