@Sinfu11y_Yours Involuntary psych hospitalization is absolutely a form of incarceration. It's even worse than being arrested in some ways because there is less due process and less transparency in terms of what your rights are.

This isn't an "anti-psychiatry" account but my ex gf just texted me out of the blue saying that after 70 (!) ECT sessions she's been diagnosed with white matter disease. A form of progressive dementia. She's 34 years old. Not the news I wanted to start the weekend with.

@Bubblebathgirl @dom_lucre We've been talking about this a lot on my podcast lately. Most people don't understand how "mental illness" in the USA is often weaponized against people. The pseudo legal process of incarcerating someone in a psych ward is also totally biased and kafkaesque. We need reform.

Mental illness is not the same as physical illness. Taking insulin is not the same as taking an anti-psychotic medication. A mind does not heal the same way as a broken bone. I wish people would stop making this comparison. It's inaccurate and counterproductive.
