Psychiatry Without Drugs: No Harm Done?

What harm can just talking to a Psychiatrist do, if there aren't any Drugs involved? It's just conversation, Right? This article from Lawrence Stevens J.D. at antipsychiatry.org says otherwise. Once slimed with Psychiatry's label, You'll be lying about it for the rest of your life if you want a job, and want to Keep it.

Lawyers and the Bar Examination:

"In his book The Powers of Psychiatry, Jonas Robitscher, J.D., M.D., Professor of Law and Behavioral Sciences at Emory University's Schools of Law and Medicine, pointed out that "Applicants for the state of Georgia bar examination, like applicants in many other states, are required to state...whether they have ever received diagnosis of...emotional disturbance, nervous or mental disorder, or received regular treatment for any of these conditions. Although there is no known instance of this information having been used to keep an applicant from taking the examination or being admitted to the Georgia bar, there are instances of denying applicants in other jurisdictions" (Houghton Mifflin Co., 1980, p. 234).

Doctors and Medical School:

"In the same book Dr. Robitscher described the case of a medical school applicant who had graduated from college magna cum laude, who was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa, and who scored in the upper ninety-ninth percentile in the Medical College Admission Test - but who was denied admission to medical school because she had sought psychiatric treatment (pp. 238-239). He said this is typical of "prejudicial policies of not admitting or readmitting students who have had or are undergoing psychotherapy" (p. 239)."

Airline Pilots, Vice-Presidential candidates, and Taxi Drivers:

"The presumption of unreliability, untrustworthiness, and emotional instability which flows from having ever sought psychiatric or psychological "therapy" doesn't haunt only people with responsibilities like doctors, lawyers, airline pilots, and Presidential/Vice-Presidential candidates: In his book, Prisoners of Psychiatry, ACLU attorney Bruce Ennis reports many cases of people who have been denied taxi driver licenses because of past psychiatric treatment even though "Most of them had never been hospitalized" and had never done anything to suggest they were dangerous (p. 160).

Records [Govt.] Required:

"In a book she wrote, Eileen Walkenstein, M.D., a psychiatrist, says "A psychiatric diagnosis is like a jail sentence, a permanent mark on your record that follows you wherever you go" (Don't Shrink To Fit! A Confrontation with Dehumanization in Psychiatry and Psychology, Grove Press, 1975, p. 22). If you consult a mental health professional, you will probably get some kind of "diagnosis". In at least some states, professional licensing laws require mental health professionals, including psychologists, to keep a written record of "diagnosis" and "treatment".

So, talk to a 'Mental Health' professional, even Without the crippling and all too frequently lethal side effects of Psych meds, and wonder, when and where your permanent Govt. file - as DSM incurably 'Mentally Ill' - will surface as the hangman it is, when you can't get a job driving a taxi, without lying.

But 'Mental Illness' remains frighteningly undiscovered and underdiagnosed. We need more 'Mental Health' Treatment facilities for these Insomniacs, Smokers, and DSM Not Otherwise Specifieds: at tax-payer expense.


We have State 'Physician Diversion Programs' to 'Rehabilitate' DSM Mentally Ill Doctors and due to the staggering scope of non-compliance in California, on June 30 2008 the California 'Diversion' program is calling it quits.

Ms. Becky Anderson, and Mrs. Mikulecky [CNN] their family and friends, probably wouldn't have been Doctored into this lethal horror, if their Doctor had had his license revoked, for life, rather than his being referred for 'Diversion'.

The gross non-compliance with these 'Diversion' programs is because Surgeons and Psychiatrists don't want to be tainted with the stink of a Psych label, any more than you should. Diversion Programs, along with the theft of inalienable civil rights leading to a lifetime of Perjuring yourself just to find a job, and looking over your shoulder to keep it, manacled by Psychiatric Opinion, both directly contradict Sec. 1 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
