"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

"1978 – In Rennie v. Klein, the Federal District Court of New Jersey ruled that an involuntarily committed individual has a constitutional right to refuse psychotropic medication without a court order." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_disability_rights_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfla1
"1985 – In People v. Skinner (1985), the California Supreme Court further specified the criteria for "settled insanity". The person must have a mental illness that is relatively stable over time, not caused solely by the length of time the substance was abused, and it must also meet the legal definition of insanity in that jurisdiction. Therefore, it appears that the court is stating that a threshold condition for the insanity defense exists when there is a permanent impairment caused by chronic substance abuse in a person with a preexisting mental illness unrelated to substance abuse, but aggravated or set off by voluntary intoxication.[193]"
"1992 – In Foucha v. Louisiana, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the continued commitment of an insanity acquittee who was not suffering from a mental illness was unconstitutional.[229]"
"1993 – The American Indian Disability Legislation Project was established to collect data on Native American disability rights laws and regulations.[3]"
"1995 – The state of Kansas passed a law (Kan. Stat. Ann. § 22-3220) which revoked the traditional insanity defense. Defendants could no longer argue that, because of their mental illness, they were incapable of deciding right from wrong. Instead, defendants with mental illness were only permitted to argue that their mental illness prevented them from forming the specific intent (or mens rea) needed to commit the crime.[249]"
"1995 – The U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, ruled in Helen L. v. Snider that continued institutionalization of a disabled Pennsylvania woman, when not medically necessary and where there was the option of home care, was a violation of her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990. Disability rights advocates perceived this ruling as a landmark decision regarding the rights of people in nursing homes to personal assistance services.[3]"
"1998 – The case Connecticut vs. Kenneth Curtis changed the views in the justice system of mental competence to stand trial.[258] Prior to this case, those given such an assessment were viewed as not restorable, and charges would be dismissed in favor of periodic reviews
used only in determining the need for a civil commitment.[259]"
"1999 – In Carolyn C. Cleveland v. Policy Management Systems Corporation, et al., the U.S. Supreme Court decided that people receiving Social Security disability benefits are protected against discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act if and when they are able to return to work.[3]"
"2004 – Archuleta v. Hedrick, 365 F.3d 644 (8th Cir. 2004) was a pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in October 2002, appealing the dismissal of a case brought by defendant Benjamin Archuleta. Archuleta had been found not guilty by reason of insanity of assault and subsequently ordered to be confined in a prison mental hospital by the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri after his successful insanity defense, as he was evaluated by a psychiatrist as dangerous. His appeal challenged this confinement and "forced treatment", requested a withdrawal of his original insanity defense, and sought his unconditional release from custody.[310] The appellate court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the habeas corpus petition, saying that habeas corpus is a last resort remedy available to those without any other, and the case was remanded back to that court with the instructions to transfer the petition to another district court, the United States District Court for the District of Utah.[311]"
"2005 – Peggy S. Salters, from South Carolina, became the first survivor of electroshock treatment in the United States to win a jury verdict and a large money judgment ($635,177) in compensation for extensive permanent amnesia and cognitive disability caused by the procedure.[323]"
"2007 – A psychiatric patient in the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in New York, given the pseudonym of Simone D., won a court ruling which set aside a two-year-old court order to give her electroshock treatment against her will.[339]"
"2007 – A decision by the Colorado Court of Appeals in People v. Grant upheld a lower court ruling that did not allow expert testimony on the defendant's state of mind due to voluntary intoxication, thus ruling out any possibility that the issue of "settled insanity" might be raised.[344]"
"2007 – Jonathan's Law is the "popular name" of the amendments to New York Mental Hygiene Law Article 33. Jonathan's Law, a New York statute, was signed into law in May 2007; it entitles parents and legal guardians access to all child abuse investigation files and medical history records.[345][346] The legislative measure is intended to hold residential mental health facilities accountable by requiring notification of guardians in cases of ill treatment, and requires written reports of ensuing investigations. Mike and Lisa Carey, the parents of Jonathan Carey, promoted Jonathan's Law. Jonathan Carey, who had severe autism, was abused and neglected at school and later killed by a direct care worker."
"2007 – Doe ex. rel. Tarlow v. District of Columbia, 489 F.3d 376 (D.C. Cir. 2007), is a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, written by Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in which the Court upheld a 2003 District of Columbia statute that stated the conditions for authorizing a non-emergency surgical procedure on a mentally incompetent person.[347] This case developed out of an appeal to a district court decision that was brought on behalf of a mentally incompetent patient who was subjected to an abortion without her consent and another patient who was subjected to an eye surgery without the patient's consent. Under the Appellate Court's interpretation of the statute, a court located in the District of Columbia, must apply the "best interest of the patient" standard to a person who was never competent, and the court must apply the "known wishes of the patient" standard to a person who was once competent. The appellate decision was remanded back to the District Court."
"2008 – The ADA Amendments Act of 2008 became law, and it broadened the scope of who is considered disabled under the law, and when considering whether a person is disabled, the law required that people ignore the beneficial effects of any mitigating measures (except ordinary eyeglasses and contact lenses) the person uses; furthermore, when considering whether a person is substantially limited in a major life activity, which would make them disabled under the law, the law required the consideration of bodily functions as well as other major life activities, and having one major life activity substantially limited is enough; when considering whether a person whose condition is episodic or in remission is substantially limited in a major life activity, the law required the consideration of the person's limitations as they are when the condition is in an active state; furthermore, determining someone is disabled under the law does not require individuals to meet the substantially-limited-in-a-major-life-activity standard, but does not include impairments that are transitory and minor.[357]"
"2011 – On March 15, 2011, new Americans with Disabilities Act rules came into effect. These rules expanded accessibility requirements for recreational facilities such as swimming pools, golf courses, exercise clubs, and boating facilities. They also set standards for the use of wheelchairs and other mobility devices like Segways in public spaces, and changed the standards for things such as selling tickets to events and reserving accessible hotel rooms. The new rules also clearly defined "service animal" as "...any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability." This portion of the law also states that the services the service animal provides must be "directly related to the handler's disability" and dogs that provide only emotional support or crime deterrence cannot be defined as service animals.[376]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_disability_rights_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfla1
"2012 – Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders reached a deal to create a new state agency, the Justice Center for the Protection of People With Special Needs, to police abuse and neglect of more than one million New Yorkers with developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, and other conditions that put them at risk. Lawmakers also agreed to expand the state's public disclosure law, requiring thousands of nonprofit groups that provide services to disabled and mentally ill people to make records of abuse and neglect public. The reforms were based on a report by Clarence J. Sundram, Special Advisor to the Governor on Vulnerable Persons, entitled "The Measure of a Society:Protection of Vulnerable Persons in Residential Facilities Against Abuse and Neglect." Some disability activists supported this reform, but others disapproved because they thought investigations should be referred to outside police agencies, not the state. An independent nonprofit group is also being set up to lobby for policy changes for people with disabilities. The group will get powers to conduct its own investigations after complaints and to review documents connected to particular allegations, and that authority is detailed in state law. It will also be given access to group homes and state institutions.[392]"
"2012 – On December 17, 2012, the United States of America filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 42 U.S.C. § 14141 against the City of Portland, alleging improper use-of-force by the Portland Police Bureau against members of a protected class.[395] The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon and the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, sought injunctive and declaratory relief. Based on findings of more than a year of investigation, the complaint alleged Portland police officers engaged in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional use of force against individuals with actual or perceived mental illness. Specifically, the DOJ claimed: (1) Portland police encounters with such individuals too frequently resulted in a higher level force than necessary; (2) Portland police employed Tasers more times than necessary on such individuals, or in circumstances where such force was not justified; and (3) Portland police used a higher degree of force than justified for low level offenses. The case based on this claim, United States v. City of Portland, is notable because of its finding persons with mental illness are primary recipients of police use-of-force."
"2013 – Newport News Circuit Court Judge David F. Pugh rejected a guardianship request from the parents of 29-year-old Margaret Jean Hatch, also called Jenny Hatch, that would have allowed them to keep her in a group home against her will.[402]"
"2015 – In the U.S. Supreme Court case Texas Dept. of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project, Inc., 576 U.S. ___ (2015), the Court held that Congress specifically intended to include disparate impact claims in the Fair Housing Act, but that such claims require a plaintiff to prove it is the defendant's policies that cause a disparity.[444] The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on disability.[445]"
"2015 – New York City held its first Disability Pride Parade; Tom Harkin was its grand marshal.[447]"
"2016 – In United States v. Morin, No. 15-50197 (5th Cir. 2016) the defendant challenged two special conditions of his supervised release. The court agreed that one of the conditions, which gave a private therapist the right to impose "lifestyle restrictions" that might be unnecessary to the treatment and could be in force throughout the defendant's supervised release, was an improper delegation. Thus the court vacated that condition."
"2020 – Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, 591 U.S. ___ (2020), is a United States Supreme Court case involving the ministerial exception of federal employment discrimination laws. The case extends from the Supreme Court's prior decision in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (2012)[471] which created the ministerial exception based on the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the United States Constitution, asserting that federal discrimination laws cannot be applied to leaders of religious organizations. The Supreme Court case Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru, along with the consolidated St. James School v. Biel (Docket 19–348), both arose from rulings in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that found that federal discrimination laws do apply to others within a religious organization that serve an important religious function but lack the title or training to be considered a religious leader under Hosanna-Tabor. In St. James School v. Biel, in 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit declined to use the ministerial exception to bar the disability-discrimination suit of an elementary school teacher who "taught religion for about thirty minutes a day, four days a week, using a workbook on the Catholic faith."[472] The religious organization challenged that ruling on the basis of Hosanna-Tabor. The Supreme Court ruled in a 7–2 decision called Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru on July 8, 2020 that reversed the Ninth Circuit's ruling, affirming that the principles of Hosanna-Tabor, that a person can be serving an important religious function even if not holding the title or training of a religious leader, satisfied the ministerial exception in employment discrimination.[473]"
## Cultural Differences
"authors focus on internalizing disorders, referring to conditions that affect mood, emotion, and perception. They highlight how these diagnoses often appear highly comorbid and inconsistently expressed.

That's both because of being sexually assaulted as a child and repeatedly groped by her as an adult. No I don't want to talk to a biased social worker (same job as mother) who is part of the system I'm against. I would only talk to a lawyer with a fiduciary (loyalty) duty.

11:10 AM mother told talk therapist Islam and protesting may be a "delusion" because it violates her "behavior codes" which are not laws. Yet she said freedom of religion is for Americans. 3:24 PM her, "Never emulate your father." But do emulate Nintendo 64 on M64Plus FZ.
5:50 PM "This is not a crime. It's a mess." As usual she screamed and threatened to make me homeless. OCD is not an excuse for previous threats to stab me. stepfather is bleeding internally, but mother doesn't consider that an emergency. Saying no to her is somehow a medical emergency.
May 24 12:30 PM mother to stepfather, "I don't believe a thing you say." 1:29 PM I cried.
I do not feel safe talking to Islamophobic psychiatrists (especially in person) as I'm told to next week. "compelled speech, which would violate her First Amendment rights." https://reason.com/volokh/2025/03/18/dean-treanor-and-georgetowns-first-amendment-rights/ It is unconstitutional compelled speech to be forced to endorse psychiatry in conflict with my religion.

If I'd been charged with noise violation, maximum 6 months jail. My felony mental sentence is 3.5 years. I graduated a.o.t. because all of the team and my parents agree. Thank you to my great MHLS lawyer who has a big dog :)
June 5 around 9 PM stepfather screamed at dog, causing him to scratch.
June 6 3:25 PM mother again stopped me from spending my own money on necessities. Because she lies to pro-psych police that being rude to someone is identical to physical violence. Most of the time I've been unconstitutionally punished, it's taking away something that is not a luxury. Such as illegally evicting a paid tenant. If I protest against these dictator relatives, I would automatically get a life of poison sentence without trial.

June 13 10:35 AM mother told psychiatrist her "house rules" are to poison. Can a house rule be the racist landlord punches you in the face? Then mother said to me I have "freedom of speech" but was "unmanageable." That means free speech doesn't cover embarrassing a serial abuser with the truth. I cried that I'm still being treated like a criminal by the psychiatrist. All of the drugs prescribed are off label (not covered by insurance) based on misdiagnosis, except Lexapro and Cogentin.
June 13 around 7:30 PM mother, who has been threatening me for talking about a 100,000 fans comedian, commands I "go away."

"Trauma can increase the risk of developing schizophrenia, particularly when experienced in early life. Childhood trauma, which includes emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and witnessing domestic violence, can disrupt brain development and increase vulnerability to severe mental illness. Additionally, traumatic stress may alter brain structures like the hippocampus and amygdala, which are involved in emotion regulation and memory processing. These changes can also contribute to psychotic symptoms later in life. Furthermore, research from journals such as Schizophrenia Bulletin and J Psychiatry consistently shows that people exposed to traumatic events in childhood are significantly more likely to experience schizophrenia symptoms, psychotic episodes." https://www.charliehealth.com/areas-of-care/trauma/can-schizophrenia-be-caused-by-trauma

Oregon is considering long term (6 months to life) psych jailing all schizophrenics and depressed folks. You don't have to be violent or do anything to qualify.
"Nationally, about 25,000 people are currently civilly committed, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, an advocacy group for people who are incarcerated...Disability Rights Oregon, have raised objections to the broadened time frame, saying it is impossible to determine exactly when a threat may occur and that making the window too wide will result in unnecessary and excessive involuntary commitments...for someone’s consumption of substances to be considered a reason for commitment, it would have to be proven that that consumption created an imminent risk of bodily harm that made the person incapable of caring for themselves and meeting their own basic needs." https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/06/bill-to-make-civil-commitment-in-oregon-easier-moves-forward.html
I'm against House bill 2467 poisoning non-violent people who are "unable to provide for basic personal needs or has a chronic mental disorder...defined in ORS 426.495."

Politely disagreeing with a nazi is lack of insight. "(a) The person’s insight into the person’s mental illness.
(b) The impact of the person’s insight or lack of insight on the person’s ability to follow

It's pre-crime violation of being innocent unless proven guilty. "(h) The person’s patterns of decompensation in the past" assumes destructive injections are the only way to be stable.

## my experiences
June 11 3:20 PM mother again threatened to false arrest me knowing I'm neither a danger to self or others. Anything she considers weird is enough, wrongly according to her.
June 12 2:56 PM audrey threatened me at least 3 times with illegal eviction, punishable by 1 year jail. I have no freedom because of her chronic coercion and threats against my shaking dog (who soon after, under her supervision, ate plastic twice. Then he barked when I wasn't nearby. she yelled ungratefully when I cleaned her mess.) the slanderer with a judge aunt said there will be no trial or she will retaliate to control/censor it.
June 13 8:19 AM to 8:30, 10:30 "You should worship me" mother obsessed I hadn't showered more recently than 12 hours prior. 5:19 PM "Thanks for coming to see how I am doing" to dog I trained. 6:53 PM she retaliated and threatened homelessness, no dog for having an Advanced Directive.
June 14, 2024 6:34 PM mother slandered me "whack" for goal, when off pills, to manufacture folding OLED RiscV touchscreen. June 15 12:30 PM she tried to again steal my passport which is what September 3, 2022 led to false arrest, a.o.t. life sentence.
June 17 4 PM mother censored my written protest sign of a new york law quote.
June 18 around 3:45 PM tiger parent screamed and threatened no "sunlight" life in prison while coercing HIPAA. it reminds me of her years making up strict rules, like not eating food I purchased and "never" to think I could have a girlfriend, that only apply to me. then she tried to force me to do unpaid office work. Celebrate Juneteenth with slavery via psychiatry and biased false arrests.
June 19 8 AM mother censored protest sign. Since 2006 I've been controlled by being threatened with no investigation, false arrests. Around 5 PM she cares more about paint being damaged than safety.
June 20 8:30 AM she slandered being a vegan to lessen stomach pain (vegetarian since 1998) is fake. 5:54 PM I said disability "discrimination against multiple medicines." 6:10 PM then she poisoned an elderly woman who already had more than 1 psychiatrist. her modus operandi is to repeatedly change doctors until someone agrees with her.
June 21 9 AM mother yelled about what I call "invisible stains" and took away the dog's favorite biscuit. 3:44 PM she was loud about a plastic food bag. June 22 12:37 PM she called my "religion...delusional."
June 24 11:30 AM mother said if I speak freely about her lies and crimes to a judging psychiatrist eifraim keisari, I will get a life sentence without my dog. she also said cops ripped up my police report of being groped. father continues to scream whenever I start talking to him as he has for decades.
the quack was too busy poisoning 13 year olds to know what an Advance Directive is. Most Muslims would be offended he suggested finding an Imam who would contradict the Prophet Muhammad's clear actions against drugs. Last year I was offered almost dismissal, then 9 months a.o.t. At the republican trial this month he is attempting 12 more months when everyone said I'm progressing "stepping down." https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/9klts6o87jj125h4e09xy/2024-06-24_12-17-54-keisari_hate_crime.aac?rlkey=0sq7jlwrs7ve0bvm38gonvd1q&st=jmsh7gcp&dl=0 Justice Center #101-236-48169449
June 24 5:18 PM mother said "It's gonna be torture" about c.n. guidance outpatient. Don't be "oppositional...looney toonie...prison situation." fake doctor keisari slandered in front of 4 people that I didn't take the pills when tests, witnesses, and a fat stomach show I have. (10 minutes in he opposes belief in djinns) https://tinyurl.com/islamophobicplainview
"Bryan: No, they're against my religious advance directive.
efraim keisari: Sorry, you skipped a little. You said there again.
Advance directive.
What do you mean?
An Advance Directive specifies how you should be treated in an emergency.
Okay, and what is your Advance Directive?
That if the pills are intoxicating and are forbidden and I should be talked to with talk therapy.
The pills are forbidden by?
Islam.
Islam?
Yes.
Are they?
Prophet Mohammed was depressed when his first wife died. And he was depressed for three years and didn't take any drugs.
Yeah, I don't know if anti-depressants were invented back then.
No, there were drugs with alcohol, there were other things he could have done.
Got it, got it. Okay, alright.
And so, have you consulted with like an Imam or someone like that to see if there are any benefits? Or some sort of religious leader?
I'm afraid that to, my parents have said I will be attacked if I go to a mosque."
According to this taxpayer paid bigot we all have to convert to versions of religion which psychiatry approves of.
June 26 11:20 AM mother said I can't talk about my lawyer or being Muslim. 11:45 AM she slandered the Islamic Advance Directive and told psychiatrist (who said I'm "stable") to change my Muslim-diseased brain. audrey coerced, harassed, and threatened an illegal eviction if I ask for a renewal trial. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lrj16eu9bk0gvy9jr2ifx/mother-says-Muslims-delusional-2024-06-26_2024_06_26.mp3?rlkey=23qpphfdt7en9gva748nxw0il&st=tb10okon&dl=0
June 27 7:27 PM "Do you see how insane you are?" for saying I will go to an attorney. June 28 12:06 PM "suffer big consequences." 3:45 PM she forcefully, inappropriately talked to someone I'm suing. And then said psychiatry is more important than physical health. both parents obstructed the right to speak to my lawyer for Tuesday's "rigged like rigatoni" trial.
social worker mother should be arrested for repeatedly harassing me with unsolicited bad advice. she knows it's against my religious Advance Directive and is the opposite of my obvious ideas. For example she attempts to coerce me to blindly do whatever psychiatrists want, which would be a diabetic life sentence.
June 29 11:13 AM o.c.d., afraid of water, mother yelled at me for taking a shower. she said towels are dangerous. 11:59 AM "If (I) say anything (about cruel and unusual punishment, I'm) going to the hospital."

ORG 5222 was the most potent drug at dopamine D 2 and 5-HT 2c receptors, while ziprasidone was the most potent compound at three serotonergic receptors (5-HT 1A, 5-HT 1D, and 5-HT 2A). At the remaining two receptors, olanzapine was the most potent drug at the histamine H 1 receptor (K d=0.087 nM); clozapine at the muscarinic receptor (K d=9 nM)." https://tripod.brynmawr.edu/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=cdi_proquest_miscellaneous_72526631&context=PC&vid=01TRI_INST:BMC&lang=en&adaptor=Primo%20Central&tab=Everything&query=null,,1,AND&facet=citing,exact,cdi_FETCH-LOGICAL-c396t-c4afe8578246ba305303a9f56d0aaa9e0a200a4a54bbc81c412edc8042cead1d3&offset=30

NYC mayor candidates: "Zohran Mamdani: The most effective way to treat those with severe mental illness is by offering solutions that lead to long-term stability. As mayor, I will build an integrated system of mental health outreach, housing, and substance use services, such that hospitalization is rare. Peer-based outreach, crisis intervention and programming — from Intensive Mobile Treatment to Peer Clubhouses like Fountain House — are proven to positively engage people into treatment, decrease hospitalization and reduce substance use. These are key to ending the revolving door often caused by an overreliance on involuntary hospitalization and will be the focus of our Department of Community Safety.
Adrienne Adams: Involuntary commitment may be necessary in extreme cases, but the data shows the current involuntary removal policy is too often ineffective — used more from private homes than public spaces — and doesn’t lead to lasting care or effective outcomes. We can’t confuse headlines with what works. I will focus on what works: expanding mobile treatment teams, residential treatment, and community care that’s currently overwhelmed and unavailable to help due to underinvestment. Rikers is our city’s largest mental health facility — an ongoing moral and policy failure. The real answer is not shuffling people from one crisis to another, but building a continuum of care that connects people to support before they reach a breaking point." https://archive.ph/2wQ1B

#My experiences
August 26 stepfather already chose for months not to treat small brain tumor through radiation. Now he will wait 2 more years until seeing a doctor. When I did not consent to psychiatry, they lied and claimed it was an urgent emergency that had to be "treated." I was not given a chance to wait years to see if something got worse or nature would heal itself. I read the MCAT biology textbook.
August 27 Diagnosed by ultrasound with heart blood flowing backwards and thickened heart related to QT arrhythmia. 3:41 PM mother called herself "an insane woman." 3:43 PM she said "We have to stay home" for safety. It's not agoraphobia. I read the MCAT General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry books. 5:10 PM mother said if I call the police on her for poisoning me life sentence, based on Islamophobic slander and the false belief that pills will shut me up and make me follow her orders. The cops will "take (me) away" in retaliation.

Hate crimes by my parents and psychiatrists repeatedly told me I'm not allowed to be a Muslim. And they claimed to decide, even if they are definitely not Muslims, what criteria of knowledge and actions are required to call yourself Islamic. That discriminates against moderates.

"Pig Organ Transplants May Pose a Dilemma for Some Jews and Muslims. The taboo against pork is deeply entrenched in both religious traditions. But the prohibition is not absolute...Jews are allowed to violate the Sabbath to drive someone to the hospital, and they are allowed to eat on Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, if it will compromise their health to fast, experts say.
Islam offers flexibility, as well — to skip fasts during Ramadan, for example, or to not pray if one is unwell." https://archive.ph/GP3zi My Jewish parents eat pork while hypocritically hating that Muslims supposedly can't be religious in their own way. I would accept a modified pig organ transplant.

"Antipsychotic medication, the primary treatment for psychosis, is often ineffective and accompanied by severe side effects, but research has not identified an effective alternative in several decades. One reason that clinical trials fail is that patients with psychosis tend to show a significant therapeutic response to inert control treatments, known as the placebo effect, which makes it difficult to distinguish drug effects from placebo effects." Pharmaceutical companies exaggerate experimental results to profit. The FDA must set a higher proof and safety standard. Experiments should be done by non-profit employees to avoid a major conflict of interest. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-19635-010

Prentki in Montreal had three expert witnesses:...explained in detail why I found Mathieu guilty of serious malpractice. The Code of Ethics for physicians in Québec states that, if the interest of the patient requires it, the doctor must consult a colleague; must only provide care or issue a prescription when these are
medically necessary; must refrain from prescribing psychotropic substances in the absence of pathology or sufficient medical reason; and must not decrease the physical, mental, or affective capacities of a patient except where such is required for preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic reasons...Shockingly, Poitras advocated breaking the law (see the ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada below) by keeping patients completely in the dark...she had suffered a rather serious stroke.

Once inside the nucleus, APPL1 appeared to influence how DNA is packaged and read. This process is known as epigenetic regulation.

(1979).” Syl. Pt. 1, State v. Bonham, 173 W. Va. 416, 317 S.E.2d 501 (1984)...4. A circuit court’s ruling on involuntarily administering medication to a defendant for competency restoration purposes must follow the four-part test established in Sell v. United States, 539 U.S. 166 (2003): (1) first, a court must find that important governmental interests are at stake; (2) second, the court must conclude that involuntary medication will significantly further those concomitant state interests; (3) third, the court
must conclude that involuntary medication is necessary to further those interests; and (4) fourth, the court must conclude that administration of the medication is medically
appropriate, i.e., in the patient’s best medical interest in light of his or her medical
condition...Later, the petitioner refused to undergo that evaluation, and he also refused to attend competency group sessions after May 16, 2024. Thereafter, the
petitioner’s treatment team prescribed paliperidone (invega), a medication that it believed would help his thought process. Although the petitioner took paliperidone “for a brief period,”
initially, he had since refused the paliperidone, which his treatment team believed would
help his thought process. The request noted that the petitioner had been diagnosed with delusional disorder and included a detailed, proposed treatment plan,...We recognize that “[t]he forcible injection of medication into a
nonconsenting person’s body . . . represents a substantial interference with that person’s liberty.” Riggins v. Nevada, 504 U.S. 127, 134 (1992) (quoting Washington v. Harper, 494 U.S. 210, 229 (1990))...and that the administration of the
medication is substantially likely to render the defendant competent to stand trial without side effects that will significantly interfere with the defendant’s ability to assist counsel;...“Although all five [Hoover] factors need not be satisfied, it is clear that the third factor, the existence of clear error as a matter of law, should be given substantial weight.” Hoover at Syl.

Additionally, the researchers looked for instances of “The Truman Show” delusion, where a person believes their life is being filmed and broadcast for entertainment...Some felt that posts on these platforms contained encoded messages meant specifically for them. Others believed they were communicating directly with celebrities through these apps. One subject reported that YouTube videos would appear with titles matching their exact thoughts." https://www.psypost.org/psychotic-delusions-are-evolving-to-incorporate-smartphones-and-social-media-algorithms/ The solution is engineering education about computer security/spyware.
