I was wondering when it was going to be mentioned on a psychiatry blog.<br /><br />Dr. Henderson, now you know how people with a mental illness label feel when someone who has one commits a crime. It is automatically assumed that all people with mental illness are criminals and should be medicated into oblivion.<br /><br />Philip Dawdy has an excellent entry on his blog about this:<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/y8q5wue<br /><br />"Often, when a person in the mental health system loses it (for whatever reason) and commits violence, Torrey and the fine folks at TAC are quick to post (anonymously, of course) on their blog the details of the crime and to use it as a springboard to argue for forced outpatient commitment and forced medication for people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses and play their vomit-inducing game of arguing that bad behavior by one person diagnosed with schizophrenia, say, proves that pretty much anyone with a "serious mental illness" needs to be medicated into the ground.<br /><br />Now, that a psychiatrist has blown away a bunch of outstanding Americans what does TAC have to offer on its blog? Silence, the telling kind. The kind that says they are hypocrites because Hasan clearly had psych issues (whatever his political and religious issues with America may or may not have been) and yet he did what he alleged to have done. TAC should at least say something. Silence.<br /><br />What does the American Psychiatric Association have to say? Nothing. It's silent, too."<br /><br />Anyway, I sarcastically said on another board that all psychiatrists should be rounded up and medicated to the gills. Of course, that is absurd but no more absurd than the position by the treatment advocacy center and people who share their views.<br /><br />AAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14054845191090833692009-11-06T17:19:10.806-05:002009-11-06T17:19:10.806-05:00As if we psychiatrists did not have enough trouble...As if we psychiatrists did not have enough trouble with the media. This is really going to create a stir. I know that many people believe that those who go into the field of psychiatry are a little crazy themselves. Perhaps they are right?!David L.
