>> It has also funded activist groups that oppose medication >That's not outrageous. Medication often fucking sucks, and there's not much evidence that it works effectively. It's often better to give people techniques to live with their illness, and keep people engaged with MH services, than to just give them a depot injection every six weeks. I know two people who absolutely cannot live without their meds and both are currently off them. One is homeless and the other is about to be homeless. Your knee-jerk reaction to the statement to which you are replying seems to indicate to me you've made up your mind about this, regardless of how much it helps or hurts. You know how shit works in the US. Lobbyists can oppose the most sane things for completely stupid reasons. People that "oppose medication" seems to me, based on my experience, like completely stupidity. That's an extreme position. The other side (always medicate) is also extreme.
