I am a psychiatric patient and I have been in psychiatry since 2007 at 14 years old. I’ve learned through many experiences that asking the doctors important questions from a place of my own confident nature has great value to my recovery and treatments. I don’t like authoritarian doctors at all, and I never give in to them; I fight strong for my rights and value in my own lived experiences. These doctors have not experiences with psychiatry the same way I have taking medications and healing from years of untreated psychotic condition, even moderate-severe overdose of a powerful medicine in a desperate moment. So I don’t regret this risk and I keep moving forward with this mindset and fighter spirits.
don’t be afraid to speak your mind and you deserve respect as a human being ❤ ❤
