Your life story really shows how psychiatric services and medication does not work, there is no support in medicating people. This approach of treatment is only helping pharmaceutical companies. Psychiatric hospitals are not healing environments, they are more like prisons.
I spend some time working in mental health and like you the people I saw where not the insane ones, rather the system that got there claws into them is insane.
I'm glad to hear you got away, we need to focus more on community support and empowering people. We do have a great ability to heal ourselves,for who else knows us better. Thank you @wisewoof for sharing your story, I think you should include the familyprotection tag, this is very relevant.
