27 goddamned years in the 'care' of 'mental health professionals'. Balls.

Apparently my psychiatrist quit or was let go or something. Wish someone would have informed me. That was the raggedy edge, all I had left, now that's gone too. With him goes the last thread of hope I had held on to. Here come the unmedicated crazies.

An excellent video from this year's skepticon.

This is what I'm talking about. More or less. I would also add, as I'm wont to, that this is an area of medicine that is entirely ignored in skepticism, which is extremely odd to me. A lot of pseudo science and crap out there, around this stuff. Maybe it's a stigma thing. Which is also extremely odd to me, considering the percentage of people who are directly and indirectly impacted by psych disorders.
