> I've read the book. Been to the website? They do make valid points, but....I'm kinda getting bored w/ anti-psychiatry.

> I dunno. What do y'all think?Most people stop taking you seriously if you mention something that the FDA or any other authorities don't agree with. Ive learned my lesson to not bring up some of the most severe effects ive exprienced from psychiatric meds when talking to a psychiatrist. I have a friend who went to a short term inpatient facility, and was prescribed Prozac there. It was his first antidepressant, and when he let the Psychiatrist know that it was causing him to see things, she literally laughed it off and told him Prozac can't cause such an effect. Yet this side effect is listed on the list of side effects for Prozac.
I don't deny that some people are helped by these medications. But too many people who suffer after turning to psychiatry for help are having their suffering ignored.
And what the heck is the difference between the "withdrawal syndrome" that some experience for years when attempting to stop these meds, and addiction?
