I never thought I'd read anything by Ashton that I thought was sensible, either. But after uk ed's posts about some of the laws in the UK, I think Dr. Ashton is just mainstream, "let the mentally-ill suffer". My own opinion is that all the UK stuff is a thinly-veiled manifestation of the stigma of mental health issues. If you pretend meds aren't helping people, or insist that they take them under some circumstances, etc., it avoids the greater issue of the range of mental health issues that besets us all. Put differently, people are either normal and just being weenies about their symptoms or they are howling-dog mad and should be permanently tied to a large metal anchor and medicated heavily "for their own good" and of course, to protect the "normal" people from the many heinous crimes constantly perpetrated by these unhealthy and immoral beings. This black or white approach avoids the complexities of Reality which demand empathy and compassion in favor of cold hearted simplicity. That's my 2 cents...
