If you had a good experience with psychiatry then fair enough. I just think patients should have a choice regarding whether they receive "treatment" or not. Patients should have the right to refuse antipsychotics.

I'm not a schizo, my diagnosis is only depression and anxiety. Yet I was still locked up in mental hospital (not the worst part) and I was drugged against my will (that's the worst part).

Antipsychotics "work" at making patients docile and compliant. But do they work at helping the patient have a successful future? I'm not so sure. When I was in mental hospital I saw patients on antipsychotics who were just completely dependent on the health system. Their antipsychotics allowed them to vegetate, but the drugs didn't allow them to have a normal, active, successful life.

Interesting. Do you have a productive life when you're on meds? I don't have schizophrenia myself, my diagnosis is depression and anxiety, but I have tried psych drugs multiple times. Antidepressants and antipsychotics. Perhaps they help me sometimes, but I'm not sure I trust the drugs, especially when I read about their side effects.
