But it demonstrates something I've long known - psychotropics are wild variables.SRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038834371981947620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129153260738117116.post-70427435240836065802010-06-18T01:17:10.619-05:002010-06-18T01:17:10.619-05:00I think the author of this article was highly sele...I think the author of this article was highly selective in his reporting of interviews and even then some of the animosity still shines through. The quote from the mother was quite indicative of both the patient's and the family's situation: "I don't trust anyone anymore," she said. The family also seems to be have been historically critical of the Lake County political system and for the Lake County Prosecutor's Office to say that they didn't recognize the family name seems disingenuous, at best.<br /><br />At least once this poor guy gets more experience with mental health under his belt, he'll learn not to make specific, actionable threats, but to stick to ambiguously over-arching but neutral suggestions.<br /><br />I find that mental health professionals invoke that "doctor-patient privilege" in order to cover their sorry, lying butts. It's certainly not there to protect the patient. Whenever outside third parties become involved in the "psychiatric treatment" milieu and they see that the "help" isn't being that helpful, more often than not mental health professionals start yelling to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. And then they scramble to blame everyone and everything else but themselves-- the legal system, the insurance companies, the family or the patient.<br /><br />Sadly, however, mental health professionals are more than willing to charge the patient with a crime if that patient has physically assaulted the staff.<br /><br />BTW, from my experience with the mental health system, I always considered Haldol to be a recreational drug. Sorry. That's just the way I'm wired. When can I get my next hit, dude?Tonyhttp://www.medfree.socialgo.comnoreply@blogger.com
