What's your opinion on psychiatry?

I'm sorry your experience was so terrible when it comes to psychiatry. I've been in a mental health facility as well and I was not treated nearly as brutally as you were. I'm sure they're right about your ability to sue but please don't give up on psychiatry as a whole. I understand your experience was awful but some of them are generally trying to help their patients. Try to find a holistic psychologist in your area (avoid psychiatrists as they are the ones who prescribe medication). Holistic psychologists avoid medication and try to help you through holistic approaches, such as coping mechanisms and acupuncture. Don't give up on trying to find a psychologist that's right for you. Again, psychiatrists give out medication (that's their job) but psychologists can't. I hope this helps! Good luck!
