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.

Truth! I was never told what the drugs I was prescribed could possibly do to me in the future. My physchiatrist, internist, pharmacist, OBGYN, nothing from anyone, not one word or warning for over 25 years. Terrible. Had I know the possibilities I, in all likelihood, would not have taken them, for sure not as long as I did.
