Nat'l Suicide Prevention Month: opinions

Seems like EVERY month is Stay In Pain Month: fuck the NAMI & the AMA !!!

From everything I have read from contributors on this forum, it would be great for someone without MH issues to actually go through the process of being sectioned, staying in a ward etc with a hidden camera. This topic is absolutely ripe for an undercover investigator to uncover some truths.

The experiment was done, minus the camera. People with no MH issues or history got themselves admitted saying sometimes they hear a thud. They were not let go when they said they no longer heard it and felt fine. Everything they did and did not do counted as evidence they were insane. One of them was taking notes in a notebook, and it was put down as compulsive writing behaviour or something. Wish I could remember the name of the experiment, I found it on the blog of a guy who used to work at NASA and who made the case that shrinkery was not science.

When will there be a Meat-Eating Prevention Month? A Video Gaming Prevention Month? An Abortion Prevention Month? Nobody should 'prevent' your life choices. It's nobody's right but your own.
