Not indifferent citizens say about psychiatry. K
Karen L Davis Washington, DC It horrifies me that we continue to treat people with disabilities in ways that we would never allow people without disabilities to be treated. Stop shock now!
Karen Ciesnicki Mill Valley, CA This is barbarous
Karen Mesmer Kennebunk, ME Positive support is the only way any human being with a disability should be treated. With encouragement and teaching at whatever level is needed and love. NOT abusing them!!!! What are people thinking! Put yourself in that defenseless persons position. Pretend that is you and then think again... See how that works? Think people think!!!!
Karin Patricia Witt Ernest Hemingway committed suicide after over 30 electric shock treatments. His comment on this was “You found the cure but lost the patient”. I recently met a man whose grandfather sold Ernest Hemingway the firearm that he committed suicide with and I asked the guy if he knew why Ernest Hemingway committed suicide and he had no idea so I told him and he was shocked.

Karin Patricia Witt TRUE STORY: A research was done on who are all these homeless people living on the streets....turned out they were MAINLY people who had been in psychiatric hospitals and then released after they were so messed up that they couldn’t function beyond what you see with the shopping carts and bare lsoomy. That is the product of psychiatry in this society. So if you want to see your sister, your mother, your daughter, your son, your granny, your uncle living less than what an animal lives like....then send them to a psychiatric institute. After a few too many drugs, electroshocks or a lsoomy to the brain....you end up with someone who can’t function any more. One day I saw a bag lady in lady who was in such a horrible, degraded condition with an ugly wig perched on her head. I thought “Wow you are so degraded”. This woman’s head whirled around to me and she started to chase me down the street in fury. She was so highly aware that she picked up on my thoughts towards her. Highly aware people can fall into the wrong hands and end up like that woman. That is when I realized all of these people were once somebodies child, a beautiful baby. I became intensely interested in who are these people and what the hell happened. People don’t turn out like that unless they are destroyed by someone. PSYCHIATRY IS AN INDUSTRY OF DEATH AND NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXPOSED AND GOTTEN RID OF. You need to report what happened to you.
Karollina Marfell Her story hits home with the misdiagnosis; sharing as Iam sure many in here may lso...
“In the summer of 1960, Sawyer was admitted to the Westchester Division of New York Hospital. There, her thrice-weekly shock treatment began. “Shock treatment felt like facing death again and again,” she recalls in her memoir, reflecting her understanding at the time. “Not only because the doctor caused a seizure by shooting electricity through my brain, which meant I risked dying if he miscalculated, but because it also interfered with my memory. I’d wake up terrified, not knowing who I was, the world a meaningless blank. It was as if each seizure carved me into a new jigsaw puzzle, and I had to start from the beginning to figure out how the pieces fit together. There was no guarantee they would.”
Kasandra Tiena Sheldan Mary, from what I understand this is a public group? Yes?
By the way, much needed and wonderful. Thankyou. However I use my Facebook to inspire only. That is my choice. I rarely post controversial topics except now and then.
My question is this. Are there any closed groups where those of us who have received these ????? Kind of treatments. (I want to write the word 'torture') Can talk privately? And also validate one another with compassion.
For anyone reading this - I was given insulin coma treatment and Electric Shock after my baby was born. It deeply affected my life HOWEVER I regard myself now as very healthy and conscious. At long last I am ready to share my story and intend to put my book on Kindle. Not for attention but to bless others.
Even though I regard myself this way I still have things happen such as coming across a. Article which speaks of insulin coma therapy and how it was used to experiment on young women by the CIA in Britain in the seventies. This brings up grief for me and a part of my life I had not looked at. The ECT. Yes. The insulin coma treatment. No. I didn't realize the deadliness. It is like knowing you've been raped and being told to shut up its in the past! I wish to connect with kind and compassionate people in privacy because I am finding my family freaks out if I speak about it. And unbelievably one of my daughters has ridiculed me and says I am lying. I have not made a drama of it. I simply spoke of it and honestly thought compassion would be given. This frightens people. Anyway, please let me know if any closed groups in which speaking of this would be acceptable.
I follow the teachings of Abraham Hicks which has helped me immensely. The teachings say to leave things in the past. However, if things 'come up' and create feelings they need addressing. Blessings to us all. Kasandra.
Kasia Stroz When I came here in Poland with depression to the doctor in public hospital in my town called Wejherowo after first having my psychology test the doctor was threating me with the police saying I am schizofrenic with out even let me see my test result! Later she told my mother to give me medicine in grapfruit juice without me knowing about it! Later they were force me to believe that I'm schizofrenic. Also same doctor was trying to silence me by political correctness when I mentioned that I was worried about my parents who was staying in germany because of refugees. Then she said she was right I'm schizofrenic and I'll end up in hospital, also in The UK they will lock me in hospital she said. The bitch knew I was in the UK before which was making her so angry. People in my town say she looks like russian in her face, using her fake data for public doctors medical view opinions, also using her fake picture twice!!
Przepraszam, że zapytam, ale kiedy oni w PIS zamierzają zrobić coś z tymi zbrodniarzami komunistycznymi w polskiej psychiatrii jak i wśród psychologow i psycholożek?!
W Polsce mamy w psychologii i psychiatrii sytuację podobną jak w Związku radzieckim i w Rosji! Są niebezpieczni dla osób wierzących i o prawicowych poglądach !!!
Kat H ... In 1990 I went to see my GP stating I was feeling low, and he immediately diagnosed me with depression and put me on antidepressants, stating that I had a chemical imbalance. He didn’t really ask me why I felt low, and to be fair, I didn’t tell him. Even when after months of seeing him, I disclosed on a written note that I had been subjected to CSA, he didn’t talk to me about the abuse or refer me to talk therapy... In 1993 a ‘BPD’ diagnosis was imposed on me by a psychiatrist in a 20-minute appointment. I was told that additional medication would help me feel better. He didn’t tell me what the medication was or why it would help me. I saw him as an expert and didn’t question any of this. The drugs he had given me were antipsychotics, which made me feel truly dreadful — worse, not better. I read the negative and derogatory online information about ‘BPD’ which projected hopelessness, stating that the disorder was untreatable and that ‘Borderline’ patients are the ones most disliked by professionals. The diagnosis of ‘BPD’ reinforced my feelings that it was my fault, that I was disordered, that I was bad, and that I couldn’t do anything to help myself overcome the aftermath of the agonising emotional distress from the CSA I had endured. I thought of myself as ‘ill’ and hated myself, as I have done all my life. The diagnosis has led me to be on antidepressants and antipsychotics constantly for 25 years.
Kate Golden Longmont, CO I could not believe this is a freaking THING!
Katherine Jaconello Psychiatrists consider near-death experiences therapeutic. Their treatments and the way they manage their hospitals is designed to restimulate the feeling of being buried alive. Psychiatrist researchers can legally kill you in their trials. Psychiatrists incubate people with psychiatric drugs to induce realizations about life. Since government and the UN are working for a pagan political Utopia for 2030 with 100% of people addicts of chemical aphrodisiacs, intoxicants and mind-altering drugs, government has anointed psychiatry with powers beyond the police and the highest courts. OPPOSE PSYCHIATRY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU, YOUR CHILD, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS.
kathleen thering mt pleasant, MI This is not right. What a terrible thing to do to another human being. Stop this torture now!
Kathryn Cascio Albany, NY I am a victim and a survivor of psychiatry.
Kathy Katsarelis San Jose, CA It is abhorrent to treat anybody with these devices.

Feel free to share it :)
Katy Gray Haloperidol-induced 'lock jaw'
If you can open your mouth just enough to bite on something like a blanket or your sleeve...it's excruciatingly painful to open a 'locked jaw'..but do it and then just bite hard and and chew...this will help to relieve the pain...Procyclidine is the antidote but if they're punishing you they will not let you have this...
I want to be normal and eat normally, have energy and exercise. The nurses are drugging me down, and I have no energy, so I sometimes end up prioriting getting more sleep instead to eat. They try to brainwash me that I haven't been raped, and that's why I avoid firm foods. Pray for me so I get an apartment quickly, although I mean it the non-Christian w ay.
People are scared to speak out against DSM psychiatry in case they/we might be tortured further for doing so...this writer could not have tortured any more than I already have been...My best witnesses to this 'testimony' are the good nurses whose job it was to 'bring me back' and also my good solicitor. However, I very nearly did not 'come back' - 'the lights were on but nobody was home' after being subjected to total deprivation/solitary confinement for long enough...I write as a survivor who has no status in society's eyes any more...it's obvious, isn't it, that torture can send a person quite mad ?
Katy Gray Clear Your Name ! Write about your experience and the truth...and do not be deterred or let yourself be put on the back foot by 'psychiatrisation'.
If you do not feel helped by or agree with the 'opinion'/diagnosis of your shrink just refuse to consult him/her. You can get a repeat script if necessary from your GP. Write down the truth of your experience and give a copy of this to your GP. Don't let DSM psychiatry assassinate your character and/or sense of self.
When those in power or have up until now 'held the keys' realise that their opinions are nonsense and that we survivors/patients will not collude further or let ourselves be so intimidated things will, change for everyone.
Katy Gray Do not let another person's opinion of you either oppress or define you...there are over 7 billion other people on this planet who might not agree !

Kayla Corcoran I don't know, but I'd like to think so. I've only posted the name of one psychiatrists, but feel pretty confident it's justified. There's a lot of factors involved. I wonder though, because so much wrong goes on, and it's acceptable. The laws themselves aren't are allowing this. They go beyond those even. I've had a doctor pretty much admit he would lie under oath.
Another flat out lied, and just acted lie he was above it. Got me appointed a guardian, and I had to receive his report by a public defender. He said I had an intellectual disability bases on previous testing because of a DSM change. I don't see these catgories as valid. However, that's another story. However, to have a doctor rub it in my face he can lie, and people will take his word. To have a doctor, not only be havine my rights be taken away, but have to find stuff out from public defenders. To be told that he doesn't want to talk about labels when I ask about a diagnosis he decided to make, to get me a gaurdian, like he didn't have a choice. No, I'm the one who didn't have a choice, and didn't want to talk about labells with him. That's why I didn't tel him to diagnose me.
Apparently this coming Thursday Pete Early will be answering questions live via telephone, on stuff like forced treatment. It’s for “Mental Illness Policy Org” Geussing they’re will be a lot of misconception. I want to have as many people, asking the right questions as possible. I’m hoping if enough people do, and who can come at this from as many angles, as to how this right, just maybe this will bring us closer in the right direction. At least, if nothing else let’s steer it in the right direction. Hopefully things can be turned around, but I’m at least confident that this Q and A, can be stopped from just turning into more pro force propaganda. To any potential policy maker, or media listening it’s important they hear. I want people to be questioning why it’s fair? What makes it justified? How anyone could ever think it was right?
I’m grasping at straws trying to look for any opportunity, and although it seems endless, perhaps one of them will will allow things to finally change for the better. Is there a chance, or I really just grasping at straws?

K BURBAN detroit, MI torture has no place in this country. period.
Kelley Angelina Bruno Thank you for sharing your story. My son is going through some major mental issues right now and I’m not really sure what to do. He was hospitalized last month because he was a threat to himself and others. What I noticed about the people who work in the psych ward, is they all hate their lives. Worst energy I have ever encountered. I’m sorry you went through such Hell. I 100% believe you after seeing the shit bags who work in these types of facilities.
Kelly Brogan We have been conditioned to look upon the tender topic of suicide with horror. Perhaps because it represents a failure of our varied systems of control. Perhaps because we are, collectively, far from being at peace with the complexities of death as a part of the human experience. Perhaps because we have to pretend that we have never personally felt anything like suicidality in order to maintain the illusion that the experience of suicidality is pathological.
Ken Graham Whitby, Канада It should always be a trial conducted by a humane "rule of law" not by arbitrary decisions made by governments and supported by quackery disguised as science or medicine.

Kenneth Masley Pine, CO This is what they do to bulls at the rodeo. Are the lives of these children considered to have less rights than an animal. Fire the entire and start over and this time try to act human.
kenon tevyaw Polson, MT I am a victim of psychiatry and it's abuse. I have tardtive diskinsa from anti Psychotics forced in to me and I have brain damage from it. I witness multiple people being assaulted for no reason they we're not acting violent they were innocent. I am labeled as bipolar but still do not meet the criteria and I am forced to take medication for a illness I do not have. I am not better at all I am traumatized from involuntary commitment from my youth. I have flash backs and a fear of psychiatry.
I hope my shortened story will help you understand what my life is from this and why it should be banned.
Kerry-Anne Hovey Santa barbara, CA ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE EACH AND EVERY STAFF MEMBER AT THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE PUT IN PRISON FOR THIS ATROCIOUS ACT !!! I've worked with mentally handicapped and autistic children and yes they can be extremely disruptive and difficult but TORTURE IS NOT THE WAY TO DEAL WITH THEM !!! SHOWING CONTINUOUS LOVE AND KINDNESS AND PATIENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO HANDLE THESE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NORMAL !!!! NO AMOUNT OF TORTURE WILL CHANGE THAT !!!! WTF IS THE WORLD COMING TO THAT THIS SCHOOL EXISTS STILL IN 2017 IN BLOODY AMERICA???? CMON NOW!!!!
Kevin Hawkins Davis, CA I was a victim of psychiatry.
Kevin L Keough With considerable hesitation, I introduce myself and encourage people to watch a documentary of my primary mentor, Dr. R.D. Laing, a Scottish psychiatrist who made the most consequential contribution to psychiatry in the 20th century. In a word, he said that psychiatry largely failed or harmed people. However, he suggested psychiatry was about a service to the human soul that required love to be healed. Though he is called the father of the anti-psychiatry movement he disavowed this title. Arguably, no person-alive or dead-within or outside of psychiatry has done more to give voice to those who suffer from horrible agony and have suffered at the hands of mental health professionals. I am a 58 yo clinical psychologist who has worked in the field, on inpatient and outpatient basis, and been an inpatient myself who received 26 ECT's in 2.5 months having fallen into a stuporous dangerous depression. Curiously, I've found that most folks in this group respond quite negatively to anyone with a slightly different view of psychiatry except the 100000% hatred and contempt for all psychiatry. R.D. Laing refused to succumb to this extreme, himself. He shared a same mistrust and fear of the psychiatric establishment that ran far deeper than most I've known. He knew the field from all sides. Perhaps it is worth reflecting on the idea that the same man that created an open space for those harmed by psychiatry by detailing the terrible aspects of psychiatry. No one has been more critical of psychiatry with as much evidence and experience than Laing.
I've never known a psychiatrist with more compassion or understanding. He would fully support the basic purpose of this group though he might encourage a bit more tolerance of others whose views might differ a little from the mainstream group view---especially if they acknowledged the innumerable horrific stories that bring people into a generally welcoming community like this one. Anyway, here is a documentary of Laing. You can read about him on the Internet. His son, Adrian Laing, is beginning to pick up his father's work in an effort to humanize psychiatry.

"Letters from Generation Rx," narrated by Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton, has been selected as "Best Documentary—Social Issues" at the 2015 Oregon Independent Film Festival. The documentary, which highlights both dozens of personal stories about life on psychotropics, also features interviews with Thomas Insel (of NIMH), Robert Whitaker, and scores of others. LETTERS comes on the heels of the filmmaker’s critically acclaimed film, "Generation Rx." FYI: the Facebook page is here:

Kevin SANS NOM DE FAMILLE Франция France I think this barbaric place should, not only be shut down, but also all of the employees, including the director, should be tried for torture as well. Those practices have no place in any society, this is not education, it is cruelty. And it's really horrifying that in 2017, places like that are still running, with abusers getting away with it.
Khalil Zerma If a psychiatrist tries to treat me against my will, do I have the right to shoot him down.
Kim Kushner Good day and thanks for the welcome. Also thank you Jason Kalendek for linking the "Vigils for Victims" Electroshock Protest to this page.
What began for me as a way to show honor and respect to shock victims and survivors begins August 16, 2015.
My vision is simple monthly candlelight vigils across the state where I can read aloud names of people and remember them. Maybe ring a small bell. Maybe some gentle music. This is a work in progress. My hope is that we can slowly but steadily create something in person, in real life, with each other.
I am asking for this groups understanding, support, ideas, intelligence, and strong hearts. I am also respectfully asking you to consider my request to honor you.
If you choose to would you allow me to add you or others who are shock survivors/victims to the list of names I want to remember. You can keep confidentiality at all times. A first name, last initial, state, country or whatever you are comfortable with is OK with me.
I'm adding the event link below. Please consider this. I promised myself after the May 16th demonstrations I would continue in some small way. A few people doing vigils is still doing something in unity and community. Thank you. In Solidarity...

Kimberly Donat Astoria, NY These despicable sorry excuse of a human being should be tortured in the same manner as they have done to these innocent children!
Kimberly Morrison Taylor, MI Disgusting!
Kimberly Richardson Satellite Beach, FL Barbaric!!
Kirk Kohler Malden, MA I see this taking place.
Kristin McLaughlin Boise, ID Perhaps everyone should watch the footage from the Milgram experiments. This is a terrible practice that people continue to participate in because an authority figure tells them they must. End this practice. For human rights violations to be perpetrated in a school is horrendous.

Kush Dhillon I have been in hospital for 3 years. Im a dentist and have now been given another 12 month suspension. I do go up. I know that but not in a dangerous way, to me it's completely spiritual. They have ruined my life, psychiatry needs to fall. I can't imagine what havoc has been caused in other peoples life. Just keep going the truth will prevail.
Kyle Karr Nupe, IL Nation states in a civilized world, would not be permitted to get away with the human rights atrocity that is the violent act of forcing psychiatry on citizens.
Under no legitimate conception of modern human rights standards, should it be considered acceptable, for states to RAPE and ASSAULT the living conscious brains, of human beings.
Psychiatry is a controversial pseudoscience, the fact it has been given the power to force its quackery based beliefs and toxic drugs on people in their weakest hour, is an unconscionable atrocity.
Forced psychiatry is without question, a leading human rights abuse in all countries, and THE leading human rights abuse plaguing peacetime developed countries.
May one day the decent people of the world come to the rescue of the millions of people violently handed over with mindless, unexamined "good intentions" to be "helped" by force, at the hands of these chemical brain rapists.
May one day, people enjoy the basic human dignity of no longer having to live in terror of these forced drugging squads, and pathetic, tortuous psychiatric detentions.
It brings warmth and tingles to my body, to see people from Russia to Nigeria to America gathering here as one, to affirm our common humanity in the face of the sickening violence unleashed by psychiatric hubris and the nation states that betray us by allowing forced psychiatry to remain legal.
Kyle Parsley Hope Mills, NC i am signing this because i am autistic myself, but what the people that work here are basically ABUSING these kids!
