What it is like to be on psychiatric medication (trigger warning)

@dfb Your poem is very dark and your last two lines indicate that you wish to die. What feedback and support would you like here on Mayo Clinic Connect?

If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide or have plans for suicide please go to your local emergency department at a hospital or call the National Hotline at 988.

Thank you for your concern.

As always, the members of this border of terrifically supportive, but it’s my turn to be supportive.

I am no longer taking any psychiatric medications and haven’t for sometime now.

I am the best version of myself I have ever been.

This is a poem I wrote the deepest despair.

I sent it to McLean Hospital and they’re publishing it and I’m hoping Mayo will do the same.

This is the reality of psychiatric medication’s.

They’ve been developed by an industry that generates massive profits at the expense of human suffering.

And I intend to do what I can to stop it.

I am better than I have any right to be and I’m gonna tell my story everywhere.

They should’ve killed me when they had the chance.

We will all live in peace and good health soon.

David
