Psychiatry: you have blood on your hands

Psychiatry is a corrupt system that seeks to silence and blame victims for their trauma, and then further traumatizes them with strong medications that entirely remove one's will to live, to participate in society in a meaninful way, and to enjoy life. I know this for a fact because I was tortured with every kind of medication and injection possible, essentially for the "crime" of being a tomboy who didn't conform to feminine standards and a feminist who doesn't think a person's genitals should define their whole life and their role in society. Psychiatry killed a girl I used to love: she died after electro-shock torture, which they call "Electroconvulsive Therapy". Toronto psych wards are at capacity, full of brilliant, unconventional, artistic and misunderstood individuals. I know this first hand.

Psychiatry is a system that must be dismantled. Often people that are neither a risk to themselves nor society at large, are pathologized for the dumbest reasons, often they are eccentric or with higher intelligence than the general population, and thus misunderstood, and thus punished. I will make it my life's mission to be a thorn in Psychiatry's side. There are statistics that link use of psychiatric medications with crimes committed at every level, such as mass shootings, or snapping and harming of family members.

"Psyche" means soul, so technically it is a disorder of the soul, something unresolved, something that pharmaceutical poisons can never mend.

Only Albanians will understand this:

Ilacete, s'me bejne gje

S'mi sherojne plagete

Por vecse syri yt i zi

Qe ma dogji zemrene (2x)

It means:

The pills, no, they don't do anything

They cannot heal my wounds

But only your deep brown eye

That has set my heart aflame (2x)

Love is the answer. Not poison.
