Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz wrote extensively about the history of| psychiatry including Freud.
Szasz was an atheist Jew.
In the book The Myth of Psychotherapy, Szasz wrote about how Frued utilized psychoanalysis to be a sort of an attack and maybe| vengeance against Christianity.

In The Myth of Psychotherapy, Szasz also wrote about how Freud needed a non Jew to help market psychoanalysis effectively, due to pervasive anti| Semitism. That gentile was Carl Jung.
Szasz believed that only voluntary psychiatry should be legal.

According to psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, "psychiatric coercion is medicalized| terrorism".

Maybe read the books Heresies and/or The Untamed Tongue by libertarian psychiatrist Thomas Szasz.

Bio, psycho, social, spiritual is one metaphorical lens that can be| used to view humans through.

Spirituality relates to psychology?

Then maybe we should respect suicide as a civil and human| right for all adults when it is done in private.

We supposedly have a separation between church and state. Let's also have a separation between psychiatry and state.

I support| outlawing psychiatric coercion and nonconsensual psychiatry.

I am neutral to consensual voluntary psychiatry that includes full informed consent.

I am not pro suicide. I believe| that it will be good if we can reduce suicides to zero using persuasion reason and kindness.

Have you read the book The Medicalization of Everyday Life by psychiatrist Thomas| Szasz?

Ask your prescriber to help you taper? If they refuse, find a different prescriber that will (second opinion)?

When do you think that coercive psychiatry will be| outlawed?
