Friends and Families of Psychiatric Survivors of Wisconsin
Question Authority

If psychiatric problems are "neurobiological brain disorders", then why do they have to rule out organic physiological problems before admitting to the psych ward? If psych problems are "neurological brain disorders" then why aren't they being treated by neurologists?

Where are the lab tests that show this alleged "chemical disorder"?

Ask for the lab test that shows that you have a "brain disorder," or a "neurobiologically-based brain disease".

Then, ask how the drugs are going to "fix" or "cure" the "disorder" or "disease" of the brain. Specifically, what is the relationship between the alleged "disease" and the drug.

"It would probably be difficult to find any American psychiatrist working with the mentally ill who has not, at a minimum, exaggerated the dangerousness of a mentally ill person's behavior to obtain a judicial order for commitment."
