@dfb, I understand and hear your anger. Mental health is complex and no two people are alike. Please be careful about sweeping statements that may not apply to everyone. For some people, medication is a life saver, for others a bridge to better health, and for others not helpful.

It can be a bridge to better health if people are told the truth.

I’m strongly recommending that…good health begins and ends with informed consent.

We are being lied to.

One can not chose what one does not know.

I see nothing threatening about be told what my options are.

Psychiatrist are not gods…

Informed consent is a guiding principle in every area of medicine except psychiatry.

It is wrong.
