I'm a former psych patient and I've posted in this thread, but my posts have not been "inane ramblings". Apparently "inane" means:
>lacking sense or meaning
But my criticisms of psychiatry definitely make sense and have meaning.

If YOU were forcibly locked up and drugged then YOU would also be angry about it, I guarantee it.

Correct. If we're going to be charitable we can say that psych meds do produce psychoactive effects, and some patients find those effects helpful. But psych meds also have negative effects, and I doubt that medicine fully appreciates the extent of these negative effects. More research always needs to be done. At the very least, patients should have a choice regarding whether they take these strong drugs.

Did you know that antipsychotic drugs can cause a condition called tardive dyskinesia? This condition causes the patient to experience involuntary movements of the face - pic related. Apparently the condition can become permanent, even if the patient stops taking antipsychotic drugs. More info here:
