I'm really not looking to have mental health "professionals" have too much control over my life, at least not around here.Well its not shrinks who have the control here. You seek a shrink independently of your group home. It could happen, that all patients have different shrinks. Or the same if they all like him/her.
Its only mandatory you see one if you are in trouble.I too have experiences you describe (except ECT). Im not labeled a trouble maker anymore, not by my current or past doctor.
Shrinks are only one part of a big machinery called society. In some ways society is right, in other ways its wrong. But thats the way it is and will always be.
