Hello. My new Name is 301.0. What is YOUR new Name going to be?
For the answer to this and many other questions, look to you leaders: American Psychiatric Association Site
Proposed Draft Revisions for the DSM-V
You 'normal' people REALLY MUST read this as everyone is covered as a mental case except for the mental cases who are writing this crap.The 'them and us' mentality takes care of their exclusion.
However, asking for suggestions for the control of humanity has proved so popular they have extended the deadline
And they are on Facebook too!
Now I want all of you to THINK about this for a little bit. This website is still up and anyone who wants to can offer "suggestions" for new "diseases" to be included. That decision will be made basically by show of hands.
Is this 'science?'
Can you imagine any OTHER branch of medicine doing this?
Can you imagine any other branch of science doing this?
THINK about it.
This is your future if you allow it to continue.

Mission Statement :
This website has been created with three specific goals in mind.
A. To offer explanation, encouragement and psycho spiritual support to the psychiatrized and all others bent or broken by systemic dysfunction.
B. To help to awaken the mental illness industry to some very old, yet still resisted, truths.
C. To take back the right to speak in the first person about my experience and to offer ideas and practical help to others trying to do the same.

About Me
If you decide to read this Site, you will find that I am approaching this problem of the psychiatrization of human beings from basically four different perspectives on it.
They are:
A. From that of a former aid who was employed to work one to one with ‘clients’ inside a psychiatric hospital, through a health care agency.
B. As a member (in long standing) of various dysfunctional groups and from within a variety of dysfunctional relationships.
C. As a targeted person ‘chosen’ for 'covert' assessment who has now had first hand experience of psychosis (‘decompensation’) and experienced real, long term re-integration and recovery while being drug free since 1997.
D. As someone who has found out a great deal about what is going on in psychiatry in general and with the relationship with it in particular, as well as with whole communities which they now involve in ‘saving’ people, like it or not, who are all very much like me.
I do hope this Website offers you some of the understanding you may be looking for. I also hope that it helps to make the experience from the ‘patient’ point of view, a view long suppressed, ignored, and psychiatrized, become a better understood REALITY for the reader, especially those readers like mental illness pros, friends and family who really don’t understand it now.
It is not so ‘complex’ that it cannot be understood if you take the time to look and listen. Very often, it is only made to appear ‘complex’ as a smokescreen used to conceal the perfectly obvious. It is too often the obvious that is not seen.
Paradoxically then, this site is about reframing ‘reality’ in more realistic terms.

The Primary Delusion
The greatest delusion of them all is the delusional belief that the dysfunctional masses are not delusional; This is called the “Normality by Consensus Delusion” or N.C.D.

There is No Power on Earth Greater than the Power of Psychiatry
This is the only professional association which has the unquestioned power to proclaim anyone who complains about it, or it's members, to be crazy for doing so and to have his/her complaints about it built right into its diagnostic criteria, which the association writes itself, and then cites as 'proof' of it's authoritarian, unquestionable 'expertise.' It is a closed system which feeds itself and assures it's own continuance, despite any and all protests.
NO system or individual should EVER be given that kind of power. For some, that power is nothing short of addictive. Human history is riddled with the messes made by those drunk on power, supported and enabled by their unquestioning followers.
When we will learn from past experience?
Will it be only after it's too late?

Reversal
Psychiatrists know there is such a metaphysical phenomenon as delusional reversal. They just don’t think it is possible for any of THEM, or for ‘normal’ loving family members, to be suffering from it. This neat splitting of ‘reality’ into a clearly divided ‘them and us’ structure never ceases to amaze me. They, like cult members, DO believe they are equipped and entitled to create and define reality itself, without question. What is really scary is that most ‘normal’ people believe that too, no questions asked. Perhaps that is because ‘normal’ people believe they are beyond psychiatry’s reach. Read the DSM V material. No one is beyond this ‘machine’s’ reach; no one.

“Left handed people can use both sides of their brain at the same time, so they can usually process more information than right handed people.”
Mehmet Oz, M.D.
(Did you know that I am left handed? I wonder how many more left handed people than right handed people get labelled as compared to the general population? Did you know that I once described other people's idea of the meaning of 'psychic' as really just the ability to pick up more information than most people? Did you know that when I said something similar to a psychiatrist, and said I thought I got more information than most people, I got offered something for my delusions? It was something to 'reduce my awareness.')

Psychiatry Vs. The Psychiatrized
There is no distance greater, or harder to cross, than the gulf which has been created by the illusion of 'them' and 'us.' It is the most obvious that the majority cannot, or will not, see. Though it is only one degree of separation, it may as well be planets, or universes apart, since the split premise changes the meaning of EVERYTHING.

"If the human race survives, future men will, I suspect, look back on our enlightened epoch as a veritable Age of Darkness... They will see that what was considered 'schizophrenic' was one of the forms in which, often through quite ordinary people, the light began to break into our all-too-closed minds."
— Dr. R.D. Laing

First Aired 8-26-2010
Duration: 51:41
Is bipolar disorder a disease? Can medications like lithium correct chemical imbalances and stabilize mood? Do psychiatric drugs act completely differently on the brain than recreational drugs? UK psychiatrist Dr. Joanna Moncrieff, author of The Myth Of The Chemical Cure: A Critique of Psychiatric Drug Treatment, discusses how seeing psychiatric medications as treatments for disease misleads the public about how they actually work, and obscures their potential for abuse as tools of social control.

Lives Less Lived
In the early 1950's a young girl in the south of Ireland entered a psychiatric institution. 2 years earlier, she had been raped.
Now, almost 60 years later, that young girl is an elderly woman and still in a psychiatric institution - in fact she never left.
'Lives less lived' traces this woman's journey into the world of institutionalisation and along the way questions how this can happen to somebody and what can we do to ensure this story isn't repeated in 2010.
First broadcast Saturday 4th September 2010
Compiled and Narrated by John McCarthy
Produced by Liam O'Brien
An Irish radio documentary from RTÉ Radio 1, Ireland - Documentary on One - the home of Irish radio documentaries.
John McCarthy is a mental health campaigner and founder
of Mad Pride Ireland

Reductionism: A Social Sickness
Reducing other human beings to the level of objects so you can justify experimenting with them is a ‘sickness’ of its own. Silencing that ‘object’ so 'it' can’t complain about your behaviour makes you even more ‘sick’. I doubt though that your brain chemistry is different to that of any other dysfunctional human being.

OPP Warns Public About Website
March 2010
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in cooperation with the Ontario Corrections Intelligence Unit are warning the public about certain criminal websites possibly being used by thieves to break into your home when you are away. These websites used by criminals are linked to popular social networking websites. On these social networking websites (which are legitimate) you can update your profile to inform your friends as to when you are away from your residence and for how long. Certain criminal websites extracts this information and posts it on its pages and informs their users in any part of the world which houses are empty and at what times. When you consider how many millions of people use social networking websites around the world, the effects can be huge. The public is reminded that items posted on social networking websites are available to all on the web and not all persons on the web are “friends”. Please restrict what you put on your networking page(s) including photos of your residence/address, photos of vehicles including plate numbers and any up to the minute information as to your whereabouts, keep that for your local friends/people you know personally.

Doublethink Anyone?
Don’t you just love it when those who are defining reality and sanity for everyone else find you ‘unrealistic’ when you expect them to apply the same standards to their own behaviour?

Bad Chemistry
"It's believed to be too much dopamine in the brain' is not a statement from science but a statement of 'beliefs.'
On Ethics
You can deliver all the speeches on ethics and integrity that you like, but if you don't practice what you preach it's just white noise.
Face It
For many normal people, the hardest thing to decide about what to wear when they go out in public is which of their faces to wear.

Question for all the Mental Illness Pros
In your collective opinion, who do you think is more compliant with treatment?
A: People who are ‘ill’ because they claim they were harmed by others with whom they can no longer manage to cope?
Or
B: People who were addicted to pills and alcohol as their means of coping with their problems?

Could you accept the idea that "the X-Files" is actually about the experiences of psychiatric patients based on anonymously presented ('X') patient files? The stories are disguised by presenting metaphors as literal events or sometimes by presenting literal events as metaphors. Take another look at them and try hearing them that way.
