Many Of These Drugs Can Cause Brain Damage: Mental Health Questions

The bottom line is that all people who are denied liberty by society deserve equal treatment, in any way, including rehabilitation, voluntary alternatives for support, etc We are seeing a chemical emergence prison industry that uses forced drugging as a supplement or even replacement for steel bars and concrete.

Lots of these drugs can cause brain damage, and even kill.

While Understanding Trauma, we are delighted to be affiliated with the ISEPP annual conference. Please join us to Continue the Creative Revolution by registering day! And create a public dialogue about these difficult questions, if anything this is a time to ask a bunch of questions. Responding Beyond the Medical Model.

Today, we frequently hear those who are calling for more funding for the current mental health services say, The prisons have become the new mental health institutions.

The largest psychiatric institutions are, in effect, the prisons because so many people with severe mental and emotional problems are now in prison.

We then hear the statement from those calling for more funding for the current mental health system, People deserve help not prison. It would take a book or more to fully respond. Then again, that is a powerful sound bite.

With support services, any prison or jail needs to be as humanely deigned as possible.

The question is. What kind of help? There is literally a captive population in the USA in prisons and jails. With that said, o often this sound bite is a way, ultimately, to promote more drugging. Also, as a matter virtually, animal studies show that strict solitary confinement without stimulation can actually cause brain damage and self destructive behavior even in animals. Those calling for mental health care need to know that this often translates into drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Notice, solitary confinement let’s say can be inherently traumatizing to any being. People deserve help not prison, go deeper, if an individual seeking to fund the current mental health system says.

Putting any being in simply a cage just four walls, small space, low stimulation, never out doors, a brutal environment is harmful. With so many struggles, Today, a number of prison justice groups sure have their hands full.

Sound bites alone like that can be worse than nothing.

Whether or not in prison or in a community release program, all in the criminal justice system, ought to be offered a range of voluntary care and options including.

Some anyone directed to prison or jail may be redirected to diversion programs. The following is a brief exploration, that cannot possibly cover issues all this question brings up. Attending a professionally run educational program is not inherently intrusive and brain damaging. Their acceptance or rejection of such a program should not shorten or lengthen their time sentence. An individual who drives while drunk may in some appropriate instances be offered an education program about alcohol and driving.

Only deny liberty based on due process using laws that apply to all citizens.

What kind of restrictions are appropriate? When they are deprived liberty, how long should a person’s sentence and probation be? The question then becomes what we as a society ought to do when we restrict a citizen’s freedom.

It’s time for democracy to get hands on with these issues. Does society have a right to ever restrict a citizen liberty in any way? Society does have the right to restrict freedom when a legitimate law is violated that is applied equally to all people and due process is followed. Almost all of us with a very exception few interesting theorists and philosophers, etc would say, of course. MindFreedom agrees, of course.

Any kind of coerced procedure that involves administering drugs such as neuroleptics amounts to a kind of psychosurgery, which is never appropriate for those denied liberty.

Forced drugging, especially long time and at high dosages, can cause brain damage and amounts to forced psychosurgery. In the mean time we can make a few points and raise a few questions that hopefully will encourage people to dig more deeply into this pic than a few sound bites. Furthermore, is coerced psychiatric drugging and electroshock, just as forced use psychosurgery within the criminal justice population is wrong.
