“The essential fuel of psychiatry’s bigotry is the arrogant belief by psychiatrists that their discomfort over humans different from themselves justifies declarations as to which human behaviors are deemed ‘mental illnesses.’” https://t.co/YYtAf2uZqS
A child recently told me of a horrifying #988Lifeline experience. Covertly tracing someone's call against their will & forcing them into a psychiatric hospital only works--at best--once. Forever after, they know. Forever after, they're wary of reaching out or confiding in anyone.
