"what happens so commonly in New York is, then they medicate the dog. They give the dog anti-anxiety medications or antidepressants. But they don’t deal with the fundamental problem [which is that] the dog is incredibly lonely . . . they just want to push the problem down."
"tiny little apartments . . . and they have dogs, and what I hear so commonly is people going off to work for the whole day and they leave their dogs in these tiny little apartments. Dogs being kind of like humans in a way, they’re very social animals, pack animals, like humans, and what happens is they leave their dog . . . eight or ten hours later they come home from work and the dog by that time has given up and is in a horrible state of just saying, I give up, no one’s coming back for me . . . the owner comes home and the dog is thrilled to see the owner because it’s been so lonely and miserable and bored all day long and then what happens is the owner says, ‘Yay, see, my dog loves me too, my dog is so, so, so happy [to see me],’ and they don’t really know even remotely the emotional reality of what this dog has gone through all day long. And sometimes what happens is the only way they find out what the dog has gone through all day long is when the neighbors complain [and] the management leaves a sign on the person’s door saying, You have got to stop your dog from crying [or] barking all day long, your dog is going nuts and it’s bothering people. And then the person goes, Oh my god, I don’t want trouble, I don’t want to lose my lease.
...therapists like Ann Silver . . . what they do is they don’t medicate people, they don’t force them to be anything other than who they are and instead try to help them, and sometimes try to include even their family system in trying to gain new perspective on what this person went through, and don’t treat them like the dog in the New York City apartment who’s been abandoned, which is just — medicate it, force it, shut it up, put a muzzle on it. I remember once I had a neighbor who had crying dogs and what she did is she got a little contraption that anytime it would cry it would spray vinegar into its eyes. Because she was so terrified that the dogs would be taken away and she’d lose her lease, because she’d go out and abandon these dogs in her apartment all day long. It’s like, wow, spraying vinegar into the dog’s eyes every time it cried as ‘negative behavioral therapy,’ that sounds a lot like how traditional psychiatry works."

movement centers (basal ganglia) of the brain, including swelling of the large neurons in
the caudate nucleus, proliferation of astrocytes and other glial cells, and occasional
degeneration of neurons. Three patients exposed to chronic neuroleptic therapy also
demonstrated inflammation of the cerebral veins (phlebitis)...Line of Evidence #2: Neuroimaging Studies of Living Human Subjects
Several groups of researchers have documented a progressive reduction of frontal lobe
tissue in patients treated with neuroleptics. Madsen et al. performed serial C.T. scans on
thirty-one previously unmedicated psychotic patients and nine healthy controls. Imaging
was performed at baseline and again after five years.7-8 During this time, the patients
received neuroleptic therapy in the form of traditional antipsychotics (such as Thorazine)
and/or clozapine. Findings were remarkable for a significant progression of frontal lobe
atrophy in all of the patients, relative to the controls. The researchers detected a
dose-dependent link to brain shrinkage, estimating the risk of frontal degeneration to
be 6% for every 10 grams of cumulative Thorazine (or equivalent) exposure.
Similar findings have been documented with newer technologies, such as magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). In 1998, Gur et al. published the results of a study which
followed forty psychotic patients prospectively for 2 ½ years.9
At entry, half of these
individuals had received previous treatment with neuroleptics, and half were neuroleptic
naïve. All patients subsequently received treatment with antipsychotic medications.
At the end of thirty months, the patients displayed a significant loss of brain volume
(4 to 9%) in the frontal and temporal lobes. For both patient groups, this volume loss
was associated with unimpressive changes in target symptoms (e.g., the inability to
experience pleasure, restricted affect, and limited speech) and with significant
deteriorations in cognitive functioning (such as attention, verbal memory, and abstract
thought)...Line of Evidence #3: Postmortem Animal Studies
Acknowledging the longstanding problem in medicine of distinguishing the effects of
treatment from underlying disease processes, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh
have advocated the use of animal research involving monkeys (non-human primates). In
one such study, the researchers attempted to identify the effects of lab procedures upon
brain samples prepared for biochemical and microscopic analyses.13 Eighteen adult male
macaques (aged 4.5 to 5.3 years) were divided into three groups and were trained to self-
administer drug treatments. Monkeys received oral doses of haloperidol, placebo (sham
pellets), or olanzapine for a period of 17 to 27 months. During this time, blood samples
were taken periodically and drug doses were adjusted in order to achieve plasma levels
identical to those which occur in clinical practice (1 to 1.5 ng/mL for haloperidol; 10-25
ng/mL for olanzapine). At the end of the treatment period, the animals were euthanized.
Brains were removed, and brain size was quantified using two different experimental
procedures.
A variety of behavioral and anatomical effects were noted. First, all animals appeared
to develop an aversion to the taste and/or subjective effects of the medications. This
required creative changes in the methods which were used to administer the drug
treatments. Second, a significant number of monkeys became aggressive during the
period of study (four of the six monkeys exposed to olanzapine; two of the six monkeys
exposed to haloperidol). One monkey, originally placed in the sham treatment group,
engaged in self-mutilatory behaviors. A switch to olanzapine resulted in no
improvement. However, when the animal was provided with increasing human contact, a
doubling of cage space, a decrease in environmental stimuli, and enhanced enrichment,
his behavior stabilized. Third, the chronic exposure to neuroleptics resulted in
significant reductions in total brain weight compared to controls (8% lower weight for
haloperidol, 10% lower weight for olanzapine). Regional changes in weight and volume
were also significant, with the largest changes identified in the frontal and parietal lobes" https://psychrights.org/States/Alaska/CaseXX/3AN-08-493PS/JacksonOnNLtoxicity.pdf

Shaving Head in Islam
14051
Is t sunnah to shave the head?
Support IslamQA
What may be understood from the words of the scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) is that shaving the head is of six kinds:
1 – An act of worship and a means of drawing closer to Allaah, for which a person will be rewarded. This applies in four cases only, to which there is no fifth:
(i)Hajj
(ii)‘Umrah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Indeed Allaah shall fulfil the true vision which He showed to His Messenger [i.e. the Prophet saw a dream that he has entered Makkah along with his Companions, having their (head) hair shaved and cut short] in very truth. Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid Al-Haraam, if Allaah wills, secure, (some) having your heads shaved, and (some) having your head hair cut short”
[al-Fath 48:27]
(iii)Shaving the child’s head on the seventh day after birth. The evidence for that is the hadeeth narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1439) from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered a sheep as ‘aqeeqah for al-Hasan, and said: ‘O Faatimah, shave his head and give the weight of his hair in silver in charity.’” (Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1226. See also Tuhfat al-Mawlood by Ibn al-Qayyim, p. 217).
(iv)The kaafir when he becomes a Muslim, because of the report narrated by Abu Dawood (356) which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded a kaafir man who had become Muslim, “Shave off the hair of kufr and get circumcised.” (Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood; see also al-Mughni, 1/276; Sharh al-‘Umdah by Shaykh al-Islam, 1/350)
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) were agreed that it is not recommended to shave the head at times other than these four. See al-Istiqaamah by Shaykh al-Islam, 1/256.
2 – Shirk (the association of others with Allaah). Shaving the head may be a form of shirk, when the head is shaved as an act of humbling oneself before someone other than Allaah. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (4/195): “Such as when the mureeds (disciples of Sufi shaykhs) shave their heads for their shaykhs, and one of them says, ‘I shaved my head for So and so.’ This is like saying, ‘I prostrated to So and so,’ because shaving the head is an act of humility and submission, which is why it is one of the acts that complete the Hajj, for it means putting one’s forelock in the hand of its Lord, in submission to His greatness and humbling oneself before His glory. It is one of the most eloquent forms of submission. Hence when the Arabs wanted to humiliate their prisoners and free them, they would shave their heads and let them go…”
3 – A reprehensible innovation (bid’ah) – this takes many forms, such as:
Shaving the head as an act of worship and religious devotion – other than in the four cases mentioned above – such as making a shaved head a sign of righteousness or complete asceticism (zuhd). This is what the Khawaarij used to do. Hence it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described the Khawaarij as “their sign will be that they shave their heads.” (al-Bukhaari, 7007; Muslim, 1763). Al-Qurtubi said: “ ‘Their sign will be that they shave their heads’ means that they will make that a symbol of their rejection of worldly adornments and a sign by which they might be known. This is ignorance on their part… and introducing something into the religion of Allaah which differs from that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the Rightly-guided Khaleefahs and their followers used to do.” (See Sharh al-‘Umdah, 1/231; Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 21/118).
Another example is that which some people do, ordering a person who has repented to shave his head. This is a bid’ah (innovation) which was not done by any of the Sahaabah or those who followed them in truth, or by any of the imams of the Muslims. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 21/118)
4 – Haraam kinds of shaving the head, which takes a number of forms, such as:
(i)Shaving the head when calamity strikes, such as the death of a relative and the like. It was narrated that Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) disowned the woman who raises her voice in lament, the one who shaves her hair at times of calamity and the one who rends her garment.” Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) mentioned in al-Zawaajir ‘an Iqtiraaf al-Kabaa’ir the 117th major sin: shaving the head at times of calamity. He said: “Because that is showing discontent and a lack of acceptance of the divine decree.”
(ii)Shaving the head in a manner that resembles the kuffaar or immoral people who are well known for shaving their heads. A person might do that as a kind of adornment, to make himself look like them, or he might shave the hair at the sides of the head and leave the middle long. All of these are haraam forms of imitating others, and a form of promiscuity and decadence – we ask Allaah to keep us safe and sound. And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4031; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 3401). Al-Faari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: i.e., whoever makes himself resemble the kuffaar or immoral people, then he is one of them, i.e., he shares the sin with them.
5 – Permissible – i.e., shaving the head for a reason, such as shaving it as a remedy for disease, or to prevent lice and so on. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: This is permissible according to the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. (Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 12/117)
He said: “Shave it all or leave it all.” (Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 3535).

"Nystagmus is defined by rhythmic, abnormal eye movements with a "slow" eye movement driving the eye off the target followed by a second movement that brings the eye back to the target. The movement can be horizontal, vertical, torsional or a combination of these movements."
"In contrast, primary position nystagmus, sustained (>20 seconds), or asymmetric gaze evoked nystagmus are usually pathologic however, and should prompt further investigation.[29][30] Etiologies may include intoxication (e.g., sedatives, anticonvulsants, alcohol, illicit drug or hypnotic use), trauma, stroke, demyelination, Chiari malformation, or tumor. See Figure 5."
"Downbeat nystagmus (downward fast phase) is the most common of the central vestibular nystagmuses. Its jerk nystagmus waveform begins with upward drift of the eyes corrected with a downward saccade. This form of nystagmus follows Alexander's Law and hence is accentuated by downgaze and also by lateral-down gaze, but is also amplified by convergence and lying prone.[41] Concomitant gaze-evoked nystagmus and rebound nystagmus may be observed.[36]...Drug toxicity (lithium, anticonvulsants)...Base-out prism and pharmacologic therapies with clonazepam, baclofen, gabapentin,[47] memantine, aminopyridine have been suggested but usually with mixed success[48][49] [50] and with side effects like conversion to upbeat nystagmus[51] or seizures.[52]"
"Toxin/Illicit Drug-induced Nystagmus...Other common drugs/toxins that may be associated with vertical, horizontal, rotatory, or mixed nystagmus include anticonvulsants (phenytoin, carbamazepine, valproic acid, lamotrigine, topiramate), ethanol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), also known as “ecstasy”), salicylates, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), lithium,"

Mr. Data has a daughter. She is socially awkward but makes progress.
Then a psychiatrist tries to take her away to the psych ward for no reason, against her will. The captain says it is tragic to have the government take away an innocent child. Captain Picard and the other officers try to stop the psychiatrist.
The fear of loss of freedom, and of malpractice, causes the daughter to literally be scared to death.
-"Bob Newhart Show"
Conservative 1970's show I watched as a kid. The psychologist gets frustrated in one episode that he isn't curing his patients.
The psychology professor tells Bob Newhart psychology is a "crock." Going to a priest or rabbi could be good instead.
-"Mork and Mindy"
This 1970's show is a spin-off from "Happy Days." Mork is weird because he is trying to learn the culture.
In one episode David Letterman plays a quack who admits he is a fraud, yells at the patients, and only cares about money. The patients quit.
-"MacGyver"
In the 1980's MacGyver brought attention to the fact there were over 100,000 political prisoners in Russian psych wards.
In the episode MacGyver must rescue an anti-Russia protestor from being poisoned.
One psychiatrist character is legitimate and anti-drug. A scary co-worker specializes in torturing political prisoners. MacGuyver frees a second poisoned political prisoner in another episode.
Also the final 1992 episode criticizes Chinese "slavery" and violence against political prisoners.
-"Enlightened"

Based on the true story that lasted over 100 years until 1995. Over 30,000 innocent Irish women were discriminated, abused in psych wards and churches, slave labor in the clothing industry.
Laws, Court Cases, and Politicians:
-Winters v. Miller 1971 New York psychiatric religious freedom.
-Pray the Gay Away law
-Anti-"Sexual Orientation Change Efforts" law in California
A 2012 law banning psychiatrists, etc. from trying to Pray the Gay Away with children.
The law makes Praying the Gay Away automatic malpractice, and a likely loss of the psychiatrist's license. Malpractice lawsuits can be done in every state, but this law makes it quicker.
It recognizes Ex-Gay Therapy homophobic malpractice as traumatic, since it is often the parents who want to stop their kid from being gay.
The law was publicly opposed by Mormons, homophobic parents, etc.
-NY ACLU Lawsuit For Gay Pride Parade
A local lawsuit around the 1990's quickly (~1 hour) won the right for a Gay Pride Parade as a protest under Freedom of Speech.
It shows my local area is homophobic because they refused the parade until court-ordered. Some local Republican politicians here voted against Gay Marriage.
-$8 Billion in Antipsychotic Malpractice Lawsuits "Side Effects May Include Lawsuits" in NY Times by Duff Wilson 2010. www.nytimes.com/2010/10/03/business/03psych.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1&
Multiple Ivy League psychiatry professors say mental pill side effects can be deadly, misdiagnoses are common. They also say greed is corrupting the pill companies to be too aggressive.
-NY ACLU State Major Psychiatric victory on Refusing Medications
The 1986 NY State Supreme Court case Rivers v. Katz won the right for adult patients to refuse psychiatric pills. It won a unanimous victory by all judges of the NY Court of Appeals too.
Adult patients can refuse pills even inside a psych ward. The exception on a short-term basis is if there is recent violence.
The NY Court said there is, "a right to determine what shall be done with [your] own body."
The NY Court noted the importance of pill side effects as a legal reason to refuse medication.
That's why they, and courts around the country, say the least dangerous treatment option should be used. In my case Talk Therapy is the better treatment.
The NY Court also said mental illness is often only partial, meaning the majority of the brain is still working. Therefore the Court said doctors should ask the adult patient for consent to pills and treat adult patients with dignity and reasonable freedom.
Being diagnosed with a mental illness does NOT automatically allow a loss of adult freedom. First, court procedures must be correctly followed, including showing evidence of severe danger. Every court order of forced treatment must be time limited, minimized, and up for regular review.
-American Psychological Association amicus brief in NY ACLU Forced Medication victory
In the 1986 NY Rivers v. Katz case, the American Psychological Associationn supported adult patients' right to refuse all medications, except if there is recent violence.
Pages 18-23 of the Psychologists' amicus brief are focused on pill side effects, including many detailed citations.
www.APA.org/about/offices/ogc/amicus/rivers.aspx
-NY Right to Refuse Medication. Schloendorff v. Society of N.Y. Hospital (1914).
The Rivers v. Katz judges quoted previous NY lawsuits such as Schloenddorff, a case about cancer surgery without consent on an adult woman.
In general, unwanted medical procedures are considered a violation of the body, an illegal "medical battery" violent assault to the adult patient.
-National ACLU Psychiatric victories
The ACLU won multiple Supreme Court cases since the 1970's establishing the national right not to be forcibly medicated.
No adult can be locked up in a psych ward without clear proof of recent violence.
For example, O'Connor v. Donaldson (1975), Rennie v. Klein (1978), Addington v. Texas (1979), Washington v. Harper (1990), Riggins v. Nevada (1992), Sell v. United States (2003), etc.
-NY ACLU Lawsuits Against Psych Wards
Psychiatrists have been sued by the NY ACLU for overly restraining child and adult patients, neglectful/rushed malpractice, etc.
An interesting example is a successful lawsuit mentioning failure to personalize diagnosis and treatment.
NY Times writes "many patients were admitted with catch-all diagnoses and that the staff used boilerplate forms and checklists rather than writing individualized narratives." http://psychrights.org/Articles/090205NYTimesAbuseatKingsHosp.htm
ACLU has also accused NY of racism for years in the high rate of black and hispanic people forcibly psych medicated.
-Successful NY ACLU Psych Ward Lawsuit Example:
"The NYCLU, Mental Hygiene Legal Service, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP sued the [Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn]â¦in May 2007 after investigators found unsanitary, inhumane and dangerous conditions in the public hospital's psychiatric ward.
...a chamber of filth, decay, indifference and danger, and sought to end pervasive neglect and abusive treatment in the hospital's psychiatric facilities...
the U.S. Department of Justice...issued a report last year calling conditions at the hospital's psychiatric ward "highly dangerous" and requiring "immediate attention."
The report concluded that the hospital regularly fails "to properly assess, diagnose, supervise, monitor and treat its mental health patients."
Conditions at KCHC drew national attention in July of 2008 after...security camera footage of Esmin Green, a 49-year-old Brooklyn woman, dying on the waiting room floor of the hospital's psychiatric emergency room...
hospital staff [ignored] Green as she writhed on the floor. Green had been in the waiting room for more than 24 hours...
Under the terms of the settlement...
Stays in the psychiatric emergency room must not exceed the state mandate of 24 hours.
Preventing the use of restraints except as a last resort...and reducing the use of emergency psychotropic medications.
...discharge planning to place patients into the least restrictive setting possible."

-Joyce Brown (1987)
NY ACLU successfully freed a middle-aged homeless woman from false mental arrest.
She was an addict, but the judge noted her rational talk. Judge criticized the low quality of over-filled homeless shelters.
Ms. Brown said being arrested for poverty's "political prison" and simple welfare helps. She was more stable until betrayed by her family.
-Summary of constitutional rights to refuse medical treatment as an adult:
1st Amendment Free Speech:
Psychiatric pills change and censor free speech.
Side effects severely reduce energy needed to talk. Chemical restraint to silence a patient is illegal.
Freedom of association (socializing) is a right for all adults.
4th, 5th, and 9th Amendments Right to Privacy:
Every adult owns their body. Everyone has a right to non-violent personal decisions, such as choosing which foods to eat.
6th Amendment Right to an Attorney:
I was not given a trial at all. I had no lawyer and couldn't afford one when the worst harm was done to me. My rich parents did not return my small bank account to me until late 2011.
Preventable false arrests, mistrials, etc. against poor minorities like me are why the NY ACLU sued the state of New York in 2010. The Supreme Court of NY agrees there are many common failures in the under-funded public defender system. They say it is up to the state legislature to fix.
See NY Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye's 2006 report criticizing the public defender system. http://courts.state.ny.us/ip/indigentdefense-commission/IndigentDefenseCommission_report06.pdf
It agrees with a similar NY study "Status of Indigent Defense in New York." www.courts.state.ny.us/ip/indigentdefense-commission/SpangebergGroupReport.pdf
8th Amendment Cruel and Unusual Punishment:
Forced psychiatric pills are a cruel, dangerous punishment. The U.N. has called it torture when the victim is a political prisoner.
14th Amendment Due Process and Equal Protection:
Psychiatric patients have almost equal rights to refuse treatment, as physical medical patients do. Otherwise it is discrimination.
-NY Psychiatrist Nathaniel S. Lehrman, M.D. Testified to State Congress "Stopping over-medication should be the mental health movement's first task
...In 1983, after Mario Cuomo's election as Governor...submitted my name for the State Commissionership of Mental Health.
...goal should be returning patients to useful and satisfying living rather than merely maintaining them as drugged cripples. But doing this requires medication reduction
...psychiatrists, functioning almost entirely as drug-prescribers, rarely know their patients well enough"
http://www.stopshrinks.org/reading_room/drugs/stop_over-medication.htm
-NY Psychiatrists Caught Preventing Patients from Progress
A licensed nurse who worked in NY psychiatric hospitals for decades says, "In my experience I have witnessed so many times patients ready to enter society via group homes or family or whatever, only to have their progress reversed by many months or even years when their psychiatrist decides to change their medication or dosage." http://www.mindfreedom.org/as/act-archives/us/new-york/foil/whistleblower
There can be a greed motive for psychiatrists to over-prescribe.
-Americans with Disabilities Act
My parents ignored this law entirely. They wouldn't even let me spend my own money to accommodate my physical disability.
Instead of helping, they kept trying to force me to drive a car (used mostly for school and my previous jobs) since I quit at 21. I will always refuse.

-Kirkland & Ellis LLP Law Firm's Pray the Gay Away Lawsuit
"a 22-year old lesbian from Ghana...where homosexuality remains illegal,
Ms. A was expelled from her university in 2008 when it was discovered she was a lesbian.
Ms. A was subsequently taken to jail in handcuffs and sexually assaulted.
...sent to a "prayer camp" where she was chained to a block and starved over a period of weeks"
www.kirkland.com/sitecontent.cfm?contentID=268
There are around 10 countries, including in Africa, with the death penalty for being gay.
A Current TV (Al Gore's channel) documentary shows American Evangelical, Baptist, and Mormon type Southerners supporting homophobic laws, including Pray the Gay Away, in the third world.
-Political Prisoner true stories. Like a 1950's 18 year old New Mexico Democrat Liberal woman who was lobotimized by Republican Conservative quacks.
Her crime? Dating a liberal her parents didn't like.
A real human life ruined by violent malpractice her conservative parents encouraged.
Many psychiatrists are conservative, such as my previous almost 80 year old homophobic malpracticer. He went to college in the very conservative 1940's.
Psychiatrists have a history of over 100 years of hurting some liberal political prisoners. Political Prisoners were sometimes common, including during Nixon's 1970's. Political Prisoners are rare now in the 1st world, but discrimination still occassionally happens.
The American Psychiatric Association says political prisoners are still commonly being harassed and hurt by psychiatrists in the 3rd world (e.g., Russia and China).
That scares me as a Jew who lost his European relatives in WWII. Nazi psychiatrists were found guilty of genocide in the Holocaust at the Nuremburg trial. Nazi Bernburg, Brandenburg, Grafeneck, Hadamar, Hartheim, and Sonnenstein concentration camps were run by violent psychiatrists.
Liberals and libertarians like me are still sometimes being discriminated against in less obvious, indirect ways.
-Brennan Center for Justice www.BrennanCenter.org/content/section/category/Criminal_Justice
The NY Brennan (former Supreme Court judge) Center has an "Ending Unnecessary Incarceration" charity project.
They are against excessive jail time for non-violent criminals. They have campaigned for better free lawyers for poor people accused of crimes.
The Brennan Center has also documented a pattern of discrimination against minorities by some courts.
-Multiple Alaska Supreme Court Psychiatric Victories by PsychRights.org Lawyers
The Alaska Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional for adults with much worse symptoms than me to be forced to take mental pills when there are less dangerous alternatives, such as Talk Therapy (Myers v. Alaska Psychiatric Institute). The Court also ruled in Bigley v. Alaska Psychiatric Institute the side effects of mental pills can do irreparable harm to the body in a patient much worse than me.
Both non-violent middle-aged patients received no Talk Therapy and only excessive, dangerous pills with side effects. One was a Native American who was normal until a divorce bankrupted him. The other was a woman who also went through a divorce. Both of their somewhat stupid and strange attitudes can be seen as a side effect of decades of pill and alcohol use. Though clearly annoying, they've lived independently.
His most famous victory was participating in a national malpractice lawsuit against pill company Eli Lilly in 2009. The company paid $1.4 billion in damages and fines for lying and encouraging mis-prescribing of mental pills that can cause obesity, etc. http://psychrights.org/States/Alaska/CaseXX.htm

-Republican Dr. Ron Paul
He says if you don't own your own body as an adult, you are not free.
Dr. Ron Paul agreed when Reagan said, "The scariest words you can hear are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'."
Books/Newspapers:
-"Desperate for Help, Sometimes Parents Lie." Philadelphia Inquirer. 1989 By Fine and Acker.
"Families also exaggerate their family member's symptoms to get the person committed to a hospital.
In a 1989 study of 83 families in Philadelphia, 18 percent "said they had lied or exaggerated to officials in order to get a relative committed...
they privately council families to lie, if necessary, to get acutely ill relatives hospitalized...
They say they were attacked when they weren't; they say their children tried to kill themselves when they didn't."
My parents are guilty of false police reports. I never harmed myself in any way, and I never tried to.

This happened a few years after I was false arrested for being gay. Almost no black cops in NY until the 1980's.
A cop assumed Prof. Gates is a criminal because he is black in a white neighborhood. The cops and psychiatrists always took my straight, conservative parents' side.

-"Bitter Pills" by Stephen Fried
"Fried's wife, after taking an antibiotic [Floxin] for a minor urinary tract infection [UTI], developed such side effects as...insomnia, followed by a debilitating manic-depressive illness that the prescription drug apparently triggered."
"in the U.S. alone, between 45,000 and 200,000 people die annually of reactions to legal drugs"
"According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), adverse drug reactions [side effects] are the fourth leading cause of death in America."
I had a petty UTI a few times starting around 2005. Maybe the antibiotics, which worked, could have had some emotional side effects. More important was the then undiagnosed Thyroid disease and malnutrition as a vegan.

-Steve Jobs biography book
A self-taught college dropout and vegetarian. One of the best Bourgeois Bohemians (BoBo). Rich Democrat who was friends with Clinton.
In a 1995 PBS interview, Steve Jobs called himself a hippie. Yet Forbes and other conservative business magazines awarded him CEO of the decade. Even Mitt Romney complimented Steve Jobs in a speech about innovation.
Steve Jobs was popular even though he yelled and cursed at work. I dislike his overpriced, monopoly tactics and never buy Apple products.
My Apple customer parents called the police on me for being "unstable" for decorating in a similar minimalist fashion style. Zen Buddhist and Feng Shui supporter Steve Jobs was very much against clutter.
Steve Jobs said his worst mistake was hiring East Coast Pepsi "Sugar Water" businessman in the 1980's. That failed Pepsi guy is similar to my closed minded and poorly educated father.
Painful cancer caused Steve Jobs to suffer for years. Family members and doctors said Steve Jobs complained a lot. They were annoyed by his frequent crying about physical pain. So they suggested he also consider antidepressant.
Steve Jobs repeatedly refused all psychiatry and never used mental pills. He said the side effects would stop him from working. Thank God he kept his great mind safe, or the iPad might not exist.
The movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" is about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. 2 more Hollywood movies will be also made based on the bestselling book.

My anti-intellectual parents refuse to let me have a nerdy room and the last time I tried to redecorate at age 20, they called the police. I'm not even allowed Legos.
My parents always try to force me to play sports outside, even after my broken back was diagnosed. Then they slander me as agoraphobic when I refuse. I am willing to go outside again when there are interesting non-sports events and parents stop interfering.

-PBS's "In The (Gay) Life" www.ITLmedia.org
PBS documentary series since the 1990's. An episode about famous NY Stonewall protest when being gay and gay bars were illegal in 1970's.
Another relevant episode from 2012 is about Anti-Gay Rhetoric. It said that homophobes are not usually being obvious and direct because they don't want to get in trouble for discrimination. E.g., they will be against gay marriage but falsely claim they aren't homophobes.
That's like saying you want to ban interracial marriage (illegal until 1960's), but you're not a racist.
A gay man says, instead of homophobes saying "anti-gay or we don't like gay people. They come up with other words."
Modern homophobes and racists are often more subtle.
My parents are street smart enough to not discriminate in public, but are horrible at home. My father even used the n-word and other racist curses at home.

At least this homophobic parent didn't use violence to try to change his kid.
Until 2001, homosexuality was an official mental illness in China. Being gay is censored on TV and still sometimes punished with jail there.

-Peter Thiel and "20 Under 20: Transforming Tomorrow" on CNBC
A gay technology billionaire and Republican Ron Paul supporter.
His TV documentary shows him giving out millions of dollars in reverse scholarships to college age scientists to encourage them to drop out of college and start companies.
I am annoyed my parents never supported my tech career and decision to drop out of college. Steve Jobs dropped out in his first year of college to save his parents money. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. At least 10 rich and famous tech company creators dropped out.
Peter Thiel's scholarships say college is unnecessary because you can learn from books and experience. He rewards focus, specialization, and expertise in science, rather than slander passionate students as OCD. Being a good scientist takes a lot of time and hard work.
He says when you are inventor it is normal to be weird because things are new. Then new inventions become popular and normal as iPads have, and my TV projector will.
In "20 Under 20" you can also see the students practicing their business speeches out loud, alone. To get investors you need more than a realistic idea and reasonable budget. You need to communicate clearly.
Steve Jobs rehearsed his famous press conferences. I use voice commands to give info to lawyers about parents' hate crimes.

"ECtHR has taken up the case of Pindo Mulla v. Spain (application no. 15541/20) after it was relinquished by the Chamber. The case centers around Rosa Edelmira Pindo Mulla, a Jehovah's Witness from Ecuador, who received blood transfusions against her will. Ms. Pindo Mulla, adhering to her religious beliefs, adamantly opposes blood transfusions and the donation and storage of blood products. In July 2017, after medical tests revealed the need for surgery, she prepared several documents, including an advance directive, a lasting power of attorney, and an informed consent document. These documents explicitly stated her refusal to undergo any form of blood transfusion, even if her life was at risk." https://eulawlive.com/ecthr-grand-chamber-to-examine-case-of-forced-blood-transfusions-on-jehovahs-witness/# Will Europe respect what northwell south oaks did not with similar African American man late October 2022?

"First Utterance, a fantasy novel, slips between mythical pasts and dystopian futures. The near-future nation of Miragia is separated from its real-world, contemporary counterpart by a curtain of lyrical prose, but the book’s references are both intentional and unmistakable: for instance, it features a journalist working on a story about thousands of disappearances during an imperial presidency, accomplished under the guise of institutionalising people with mental illnesses. As the story progresses, we learn that the cause of this was the need to find new enemies – the proverbial “Others” – upon the end of a devastating war and the formation of a “unified inter-tribal government.” The mentally ill were the scapegoats of choice, at the insistence of the clergy (referred to as “the Three Prophets”). Attempts now to atone for that past and “reintegrate” the mentally ill into society are, therefore, met with resistance by that same clergy." https://www.himalmag.com/contemporary-speculative-fiction-fantasy-sri-lanka/

british muslim psychiatric social worker:
“In recent decades concern has developed about inequalities in mental health & health care delivery between ethnic majority & Black ethnic groups. Research (Fernando, 1995; Browne, 1997) findings have shown overrepresentation of Black groups, many of whom from Muslims backgrounds, in the psychiatric system.” “Problem with this western secular, scientific approach is that it denies any significance to any other understandings of mental health & illness, such as Muslims. Understanding distress in western culture focuses on the "individual", Islam teaches us to look beyond ourselves & focus on being God-conscious (relationship with Allah). How much sense is it to prescribe tablets to someone who perceives their problem to lie in some religious maladjustment? Can psychiatrist achieve credibility within Muslim community if they regard mental health practitioners as godless ill equipped to deal with complex psycho-religious issues?” “Western mental health workers could therefore do a lot towards bridging the gap empowering Muslim clients by saying ‘I don’t know much about your culture of origin but I would be interested to hear about it from you?” http://web.archive.org/web/20081231032838/http://www.crescentlife.com/articles/islamic%20psych/religiosity_in_mental_health.htm

"A Catholic Version of Bodily Autonomy...However, the true right to bodily autonomy DOES advocate rights and liberties for human beings in the eyes of God: people should not be forced to marry a person against their will, or work without pay, or be falsely imprisoned...BUT, marital rape is wrong AND coercing the wife into getting pregnant against her will by rape or other means of coercion is seriously wrong and a bodily autonomy violation. Rape is wrong. Torture; that is, cruel and unusual punishment, is also wrong.
Our bodies, due to original sin, are actually slaves to our own vices. This is the meaning of concupiscience: our inclination to sin. In fact, when Our Lady of Fatima said that more souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason, she may have not been JUST talking about sexual sin, though that is a popular interpretation. Our Lady may have been talking about ALL bodily vices, including drunkenness, gluttony, sloth, addictions, etc."

occurs frequently with conventional antipsychotics and some atypical antipsychotics (risperidone
and amisulpride) but is rare with other atypical antipsychotics (aripiprazole, clozapine, olanzapine,
quetiapine, ziprasidone). The propensity of antipsychotic agents to cause hyperprolactinaemia is
related to their potency in antagonising DA-2 receptors on the anterior pituitary. In a review of
existing literature, the authors propose to further explore the effect of different antipsychotic
medications on prolactin and sexual function and the practical guidelines for investigation and
