It's seems I have an Audience.

My Doctor once said that present day Psychiatry would one day be deemed Barbaric.  It is absolutely terrible to come to a place where you know that you can no longer function and to be left to your own devices in a hostile community that knows that you are Mentally Unwell.  There is no going back and who can dare to Hope when Hope is lost.

We provide all manner of help to the Mentally Ill but the Stigma is always there, beneath the surface and often we are more brutal to the Victims of crime than we are to the Perpetrators of the Crime.   If we cared about the Vulnerable we would not so harshly Judge them.  We would provide a Society that provided space for them and Protected them.  I do not see Protection.  I see only Condemnation and Isolation.
Bi-Polar is a genetic Illness.  It pops up Generation after Generation and from my experiences of the Mental Health System all Christianity is lost upon the Mentally Ill because we support them to be Victims rather than allow them to stand alongside fellow citizens and express their strengths.  We stand by and let them be walked over.   Psychiatric patients may as well be "things" rather than Human Beings because we do not respect their Rights.  We need to uplift the Mentally Ill and the Drug Addicts and those that commit Crimes until they can leave theirs crutches behind and walk in trust with the Communities that they live in.  We need a Society that does not insight fear and hatred.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.  Every Psychiatric patient needs a Protective Lawyer and to be drafted into something that counts as gainful employment.  So terrible is the fear of Mental Illness because of the loss of Hope that it drives many of us Crazy just the thought of it.  When life becomes only grief and trauma the has to be a better way.  A lot of "crazy" people were Our geniuses so please give them Hope and harvest their abilities rather than simply accentuate their failings.  We must face up to the fact that when it comes to people that are a bit different or challenged we are still a Vicious and Hostile World and that is why we breed MURDERERS.  When will the change take place.  How can we happily live in a World of plenty whilst condemning to weaker among us to subsistence, isolation and compounded Insanity.   It might seem a backward step to place people back in Institutions but if we are but heightening their distress perhaps we should be Morally Obligated to find an answer.  The answer is that we offer them HOPE rather than this FARCE of tolerance.

I want my children, and your children, to have lives of HOPE
