Psychiatry oppresses me and millions of others.
How can something that is supposed to help me oppress me?
1 I have to take toxic brain-damaging medications.
I do not have the freedom not to take these medications, as I would have with any other kind of medication and as I would have were they prescribed by other kinds of medical doctor, and as I ought to have. I ought to have the freedom to do what I want with my own body and to refuse toxic medication in any circumstance.
2 I have to see psychiatrists and other "mental health" workers.
I do not have the freedom not to see these people as I would have with any other medical workers. I should have this freedom.
3 I - and anyone else for that matter - can at any time be incarcerated by "mental health workers" backed up by the state for no crime and for no reason.
No other medical specialism has this power.
I ought to have the power to refuse incarceration against my will in any circumstance unless I have committed a crime.
4 By putting me on benefits and into the meaningless category of someone with "mental health problems" psychiatry precludes me from various activities that I should have the right to take part in such as for example full time paid employment.
And hence the oppression of millions and crime against humanity that is psychiatry.
This is what it means for millions of people who have been arbitrarily defined as "mentally ill".
And this is what it means potentially for all human beings.
I hope that the 21st century will see an end to this oppression.
Psychiatry is a crime against humanity. There is a strong case for abolishing it.
