That doesn't mean all nurses are like that, there are some great nurses out there but I'm referring to the system as a whole which is a coercive system, not an enabling one. Different in medical care, there is much more compassion and empathy, but mental health is full of stigmatised attitudes and devaluing of people.
WELL said. I'm dealing with my own regular dr and therapist going from nice to coercive, trying to cash in on thinking to "recover" you need more visits, and group, etc. I don't do groups. I don't do extra visits. I was diagnosed as some sort of breakdown when the ER flew me into their room because I had an organ stop working. Breakdown? Not a mental one, just physical. But sent to mental anyway because the Dr didn't want to be wrong. How self-serving. Hope you give a big smile in the face of bad caregivers, and turn your back on them. I live to irritate!
