ECT is forced and coerced on to people. Regardless of whether or not your placebo or brain damage makes you feel better, you’re supporting and advocating tools ECT and an industry PSYCHIATRY that UNLAWFULLY forces chemical and electrical treatments on human beings.
If ECT made you “better” i challenge you to ask yourself; Does it feel good to support or even worse actively advocate something that violates and damages so many people? Is there an alternative? (I know there is).
I found my happiness in helping others. My work with civil rights and freeing ‘un needs met’ people from psychiatric torture, makes me feel good, it adds meaning and clarity.
I think you could try helping people with severe physical and cognitive impairment. Perhaps then you will appreciate your life.
Disclaimer; There’s always exceptions and though the majority have been deceived in to believing mental health and biological psychiatry propaganda, there’s of course people with severe and evident impairments that aside from again, rare exceptions, are diagnosable biologically.
The FACT that psychiatry uses CLINICAL “evidence” to remove a person’s medical and spiritual autonomy, should highlight to any “sane” person, the disgraceful pseudo-scientific BUSINESS of Kontrol that psychiatry really is.
You want to stop the “stigma”? That aside from the usual bullies, is really just a reverse psychiatry tactic to silence the survivor movement and play victim. A corporate victim. Then stop forced treatment immediately!
If one well person, misdiagnosed is subsequently given powerful psychiatric drugs that they don’t need and can and does cause suicidal ideation and infertility, isn’t that one too many?
Are you willing to sacrifice me for your own happiness even though I smile at everyone I see and act with love wherever I can? —D.C.

Hmmm… gotta’ get me some of that ECT!
Please talk to a professional, they are there to help, not harm.
I can’t comment on being “coerced” into accepting treatment but being “forced” … that’s another story.
I know from personal experience (a relative) that a person cannot be “forced” to undergo treatment unless they commit an act that shows that they are a clear danger to their own health or that of others. Lifestyle alone is not enough – even if they go from being a highly paid professional with a spouse and family to being a homeless dumpster diver – as painful as that may be for their friends and family to witness. That is the law and it is meant to protect our personal choices and autonomy.
That is not to say that you shouldn’t try to intervene if you think someone is struggling. Offer them your support – as you would if they had any physical illness. The more we normalize mental illness and remove stigma the better it will be for everyone.
OP, that’s crazy talk.
Sorry.
You cannot void your mental issues by stomping your feet and claiming the system is broken. I’m all for treating people with dignity and taking a more cautious approach than drugging people into submission, but this bitch screams of someone who has some serious, paranoid delusions.
Sorry, I calls it like I sees it.
“Are you willing to sacrifice me for your own happiness even though I smile at everyone I see and act with love wherever I can?”
Yes.
I have nothing but admiration for psychiatry. Absolutely the worst job in medicine.
