It's alarming to me how perfectly Laura's experience mirrors my own. I sincerely appreciate her articulate ability to convey what it's really like to lose yourself in diagnosis and then emerge from the clutches of psychiatry. Thank you MIA for sharing this.
Laura, your input is most helpful and full of hope! Thank you so much! I was on a benzo for 40 YEARS! I am 6 months free from the benzo and in deep pain. I have experienced so much so far. I have lost friends and have found REAL ones who were willing to stay. I have researched and read and viewed material that lead me to question myself and my past as well as consider the future and what it might entail. After watching your videos I have hope and yes, some peace. Thank you and may God bless you richly.
I got poor balance, coordination and posture after 100mg seroquel for five years. I also gained alot of weight, got enlarged breasts, got impotent, sebhorric dermatitis, severe insomnia and little tardive dyskenisia. I have been medication free for almost six years, but still have this. Am I chronic lobotomized?
Completely agree, she gives me reasons to live after having my entire adult life taken away by psychiatry and its medicated lies (now 40, recently separated from spouse for more than 10 years due to the very same drugs that injured me as well as her and made us not being able to have love and empathy for each other).
Thank you, wonderful lady, Laura Delano, for sharing this & for your fabulous workshops to help prepare people for deciding what they want to do regarding the toxins peddled as meds! Forever grateful! 🙏🏼✨💕❤️✨ This is so FANTASTIC! GOOD for HER! She’s sooo AMAZING! 😊🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
the system taught "me to equate suffering with brokenenn n abnrmality and i came to believe my struggles meant something was wrong with me.." .. i am amazed at yr grit n how u hav survived thru institutional control.. wish more people cld hear u.. thks for sharing..
I love how Laura refers to “meds” as psychoactive chemicals, which in my opinion is much closer to the truth… the term medication 💊 somehow implies medicine. Medicine is something one takes and gets better… Is it not? Such a sober share, and communicates much of what I have had to discover myself… Explains much about my longing for real community and safety. It’s a challenging talk for those who have not yet reckoned with the insanity and disconnection that “normal” has come to imply. I would like to hear this talk again and again, so much sober insight born of intense and potent enquiry 🙏
I love your suggestions sooooo much . Dreamworld 💕, the time for change has come. Thank you Laura, my story is practically the same. Listening to you takes even those tiny left over doubts away and confirms what my heart tells me is right and there is nothing to fear, every experience is important , we are human. 🙏🌺
I applaud you Laura. What a testimony. I understand to a point on how you felt at the tender age of 13yrs old. Way back in my younger days, there was no way to open up to anyone, I had to keep the thoughts to myself that I was insane. I guess in a way that was an escape from what you went through. God bless you, and may I encourage you in your journey from this point on. Stand firm for all those out there who are desperately in need of your journey and realise there is always hope.
I was so locked up in my head I didn't even bother looking for help anymore.. I walked Laura life somewhat.. but now Praise God I am free since I switch on my brain with Dr. Caroline Leaf teaching .
the problem, the categorization of disorders, i think there needs to be a meta-analysis, then the treatment needs to be approached without medication, The problem is understanding people not just modification of symptoms. It shows a lack of understanding. If they just admitted that psyche drugs were not the answer, and were just a form of control, then fair enough, but they end up just sticking people on the drugs and ignoring the deficits in the reality they just have not clarified.
u r unblivebly awosome in a way i can bearly explain. u r voice. u r very sertant voice is just so extremly familer and meaningfull to me i can hardley explain this. it is for some long time a eqoue in this unblivabale long void.
Congats on sharing your journey and having some good ideas. Have you been to a Rainbow Gathering? You seem to keep using the word "human," substituting it for the word "normal."
Perfect parents so perfect that they deny perfectionism is needed bcoz that's perfect as per narrative at the time...? A magazine article ?? Things not said but existing....mirror guy??? Parents closest.....so fix that junction ...others able to handle..
If a person was correctly diagnosed & medicated for an underlying condition, that condition is not going to magically disappear just because you may decide you want to wean of your meds. BEWARE, most people are on meds for Good Reason & many confuse withdrawal symptoms with relapse. Many people NEVER heal because they are simply experiencing their underlying condition once they have stopped their meds. In short: if you don't need meds, don't take them. If you do need them don't stop them, unless you have an airtight plan to manage your original underlying condition
She is great but I dont believe she didnt have trauma. Emptiness comes from neglect, abuse etc. I'm coming off of psych drugs now and I admit to neglect and abuse. Everyone I know on medicine has had some form of trauma.
Being raised in society were your value comes from performance, being perfect, good grads, that’s not healthy. I think at very young age Laura had that deep realization of how dehumanizing the social structures are, however she could not see at that age what was causing her suffering. When you born in a cage you think it’s you not a cage that is making you sick.
Good observation. I tend to think that, too. Trauma and Complex PTSD from some form of abuse/neglect. I noticed the same thing on the psych wards where I have spent time. A reaction to life like hers at age 14 does not spring out of a vacuum.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Likewise here, Ms. Hancock; SPOT-ON U R!!!!

Bravo Laura. As a psychiatrist i fully support your actions.

@@Stardust-q9o I’m glad you’re off, and recovering. God bless you. These drugs are awful, and they’re so hard to get off of.
And as a human too I hope 🤞
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you!!!
One of the most important speeches ever. I know that’s a bold statement and I mean it.
Completely agree, she gives me reasons to live after having my entire adult life taken away by psychiatry and its medicated lies (now 40, recently separated from spouse for more than 10 years due to the very same drugs that injured me as well as her and made us not being able to have love and empathy for each other).
I am 9 years off with psychotropic drugs and totally healed.
I'm so happy for you 💛💚💜 Would you like to share your experiences here? I'm sure it'd be helpful for many.
An awe-inspiring, deeply moving and courageous talk. Thank you, Laura. You are a very special person.
Thank you, wonderful lady, Laura Delano, for sharing this & for your fabulous workshops to help prepare people for deciding what they want to do regarding the toxins peddled as meds! Forever grateful! 🙏🏼✨💕❤️✨ This is so FANTASTIC! GOOD for HER! She’s sooo AMAZING! 😊🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I love how she called the “meds” psychoactive chemicals, much closer to the actual truth… the term medication 💊 implies medicine. 😅
Very powerful. Your a brave beautiful young woman. A true hero. Xoxoxo
Wow you speak for us all. Thank you ♥️

Who will take the place of DR. THOMAS SZASZ? Only time will tell.
Laura Delano apparently
ALL of us
Ronald, Peter Gotzsche, Dr. Breggin, Dr. James Davies, Robert Whitaker are all doing a damn good job.
@@smilemor-phony5964 COMPLETELY AGREED (especially Drs. Breggin & Whitaker).
Anyone know anything about NAD THERAPY FOR BENZO WD ???
Laura minha mãe foi enganada pela psiquiatria,por favor me ajude a convencer ela a parar de me dar drogas psiquiatricas .

I wonder if psychiatrists watch these kinds of videos? Wonder what think of these stories
im sorry, you lost me. what can i do about the "third option"? im bipolar and ill do anything to get off the meds

End of locked without judge..? Opd forced also ok...
Its craziness of weakest.
As long as people fear other people, psychiatry's promise of safety will win the day for psychiatry. Good try, though. Kudos! Laura.
