Wow, that is unbelieveable!! I guess what is shown in the movies is not that far off sometimes.
Obviously, something needs to be done about it. That’s shameful.

Yes, Gianna, I was wondering if you have heard anything about this.

okay,
I finally watched it…yeah, I knew that reform has been an abysmal failure…and that horrendous things have been happening.
I was a psychiatric social worker here in 2002. It was abysmal then and it’s gotten worse.
I don’t stay apprised of it too much because all the people working for reform are mainstream pharma fans and it all makes me sick…
when I get healthier I may get involved, but I don’t think that is the fight I want to fight. I think I prefer doing something completely outside the system among people who believe in recovery and hope.
one of the reasons it’s all such a mess is because no one believes people can get better…no one cares enough to find real answers.
