Thanks @maddison for sharing this article. My daughter has had so many labels these past 10 years. Drug induced “S”, Paranoid “S”, Catatonic “S”, Treatment Resistant “S” and all have added to her lack of sense of self, her ability to see a light, to have hope for a better future. It’s only recently with the support of a good social worker that the team caring for her are able to see beyond the labels and get a better understanding of who she is and the strengths and talents she possesses and more better able to meet her needs.

Thanks heaps for your support @Shaz51 @Appleblossom

I'm glad the article also resonated with you @Appleblossom @Krishna

Thankyou for your feedback!

We need to do better for our vulnerable. It shouldn't be up to us as carers - we do so much already! Yet here we sit. We are crucial link. As they say, information is power!

@Krishna it is beautiful to read about your daughter & how her care has improved. Thankyou for sharing.

That's great to read @Libra I agree, & felt the same way. Thankyou for your support.

I really like your name!

Hello my friend @Libra ❤❤

@Krishna

I am glad there has been some shift in the care for your daughter.

@Libra Yes, that is what I struggled with.

Both my parents had the label, but their personalities and histories were so different so it was a stretch to understand. Yet for most of life I "bought" it, as the doctors were the experts. Getting old has been good to see that label challenged. Recently, I was wary of doing and/or teaching the Diploma of Community Services, as immediately it struck me as a very rigid limited style of knowledge and course teaching and I did not want anything to do with continuing psychiatric harm. Our govt needs to keep abreast international developments in the field rather than overly investing in possibly soon to be superseded theoretical models. Hmmmm. Thanks again @maddison

You are welcome @Appleblossom I can really connect with everything you are describing. I am really only recently opening my awareness to the dangers of 'psychiatric harm' as you describe it.

I still do have deep respect for medical professionals, although I was probably putting too much emphasis on 'blind faith.' I am still learning.

I'm (REALLY!) beginning to question my mentality of "the others being the experts."

I have 'bought' more than I should have too. I think in regards to my own treatment & in my position as a carer.

Thanks for your wisdom & making my defining lines clearer.
