Yes, sounds like a serious dilemma - try to get help, and you risk being committed. I have a feeling that private psychiatrists know they face a repeat game with a patient they shipped to such horrendous treatment at a ward, and thus have their finger resting much easier on the trigger. But as you said, nothing here is foolproof.
- joesmo 13y agoI wouldn't doubt that. Psychiatrists play some horrific games with their patients that border on criminal (and likely should be criminal). These days, a patient that is difficult is simply dealt with in the simplest possible way: drugs. If that one size fits all solution should cause problems or not work, I wouldn't put it past any psychiatrist to commit their difficult patients, especially ones with a history of problems. Most of the time, they won't even bother with a diagnosis, even after years of prescribing medicine. In many ways, it's quite scary, and undoubtedly people that need the help are not getting it while people that don't are being drugged and strung on for the psychiatrist's profit.
