The Labeling Of Emotional Strife Is A Sign Of Totalitarianism-By Harsha Sankar

Dear Citizen, September 2009

Police and psychiatric ward's incidents brings to light the dark side of mental health treatment, psychiatric abuse.

Labeling should not occur. Psychotherapists are to advise, with total emphasis on privacy and anonymity, how to cope with and rebound from temporary difficulties. Labels contradict this and the Hippocratic Oath. Helping people with their plight, instead of taking advantage, is in order.

Legal system involvement in mental health is prelude to psychiatric abuse. All should be treated alike with an individual’s emotional well-being regarded as outside all legal confines. All partnerships between law enforcement and “mental health” organizations should be abolished. Therapists heal. Law enforcement punishes.

Many who sought assistance for distress have instead received toxic drugging and other degrading treatment. This is despicable because vulnerable people are adversely affected. Labeling “pour salts on wounds”. People in unfortunate circumstances should not be stigmatized as “mentally ill”.

The following should be adhered to strictly.

1. If an individual sees a therapist, all interactions are to take place in the confines of that therapist's office during the appointed times only. If a patient needs "emergency care", that patient can admit himself/herself into the proper facilities without that doctor's involvement. In another words, hospitalizing a patient after consultations is a prohibitive practice.

2. The therapists' relationship with all patients should be a strictly arms-length, completely detached doctor-patient relationship and that too during appointed times only. Patient's problems can never be the doctor's problem, otherwise objectivity and professional integrity would be compromised in providing the best advice possible.

3. The therapist is not to have any association with the patient's immediate family members,unless it is doctor-patient.

4. All interactions between therapist and patient stays between therapist and patient.Unless specifically authorized, certain specific information can be released to third-party sources at the patient's consent. With the exception of these rare cases, the therapist is not to discuss about the patient to anyone.

5. Other than secretary/receptionist and other necessary billing personnel, the identity of the patient is never to be divulged.

6. All fees and services should be firmly established from the onset.

7. All advice provided by the therapist should be rooted with seriousness and credibility based on his/her expertise. Therefore, a doctor should be prohibited from significantly changing the initial required prescription of medicine. Experimentation will expose the patient to unwarranted harm. If the patient is not satisfied with the prescription of medicine, then that patient should be advised to consult another doctor.

With attorneys in all government branches, the lawyer-lobbyist regime reduces the FDA as puppets to the pharmaceutical industry as psychiatry PAC’s constantly expand their territory. Psychiatric abuse will endure.
