I hate psychiatry and say it must be abolished. I was told by relatives to take psychiatric pills. The pills caused side effects, weight gain and I was misdiagnosed on and off for 6 to 7 years. It is a total fraud. Thank you for speaking out and telling people of the harm being done.
I want these monsters to lose something in return for what they took from people.
Misdiagnosid multiple times for 6 to 7 years almost like there is literally 0 scientific evidence to diagnose peopld in the first place
Having to recover from the treatment that is meant to help says it all.
The point about being human is right on. Humans have suffering. That's how we experience joy. You speak for so many of us. Psychiatry is down right evil to me. It's destroyed my life and I'm still trying to get out of the system. Thank you for your work.
When I was inpatient for the first time 23 years ago there was an older patient there who said to me " Pshychiatry doesn't cure anyone they conservate illness ". He wasn't allowed to speak to me more after that.
Because they knew he was telling the truth and he was going to get the whole establishment shut down. No one can allow anybody to be honest and truthful, remember? Psychiatry is all about lying and being lied to. psychiatry has never cured me, just gave me a reason to be mentally ill. I stopped believing in psychiatry. Suddenly I'm not mentally ill any more.
i was labeled and dehumanized with a misdiagnosis of schizophrenia. The neurotoxins and withdrawal effects caused me psychosis which they wrongfully diagnosed and i was forced to take neuroleptics causing severe akathisia and severe hypertension for 20 years. i thought i had gone mad. Psychiatry and neuroleptics have destroyed my life. Psychiatry is evil.
Pure evil.
All psychiatric doctors are licensed witchcraft practitioners.
I’m sorry you had this happen to you too. I still have akathisia bad and can’t eat anything without having bad reactions. I lost my life, family, mind, body and soul. 😢
Yes. These drugs are bad.
My issue was anxiety, substance and alcohol use. They just slapped a label on me and forced high doses of neurotoxins. Then my main issue was the effects of the neurotoxins, for 23 years. I told them over the period and that I had a misdiagnosis but they ignored me. The records then followed me around and they didn't see anything else. The psychiatrists all followed and each other's backsides and backed each other up. My file is a complete mess by over 100 different people.
It is nuts.
Words cannot describe how much I hate psychiatry. It has no place in modern society.
Psychiatry is the summum bonum of phoniness. The mental health types feed off the energies of their clients. That's HOW they stay alive.
Modern society has no place in Universe
Might as well still be drilling holes in people's heads.
Because of psychiatrists, innocent people are dead. But they don't care. They just bury their mistakes.
@@sharonjensen3016 apparently the innocent people would not have died if they just complied a little bit more to their treatments. maybe they would have died anyway. psychiatrists are nothing but nut jobs.
Everything you say is the truth. The human condition is fraught with struggle and triumph. It's healthy to experience a full range of emotion in response to the issues we all face.
Psychiatrists diagnose people even if they smile. They want total control.
My son is currently imprisoned in a low secure psychiatric unit in Scotland and is definitely getting worse...drugged, locked up, institutionalised. He is such a beautiful guy and he has been abused and vilified by the psychiatric system. They know not what they do...or do they?
+Superdelta000 so rude
+Superdelta000 you don't even know he sent him there. Why are you bothering someone in distress?
***** how can he get his son out of there?
***** why didn't you say that before?
***** How many people do you know consult lawyers if psychiatrists detain them? Do you know how much a lawyer typically costs? Of those people who have been detained by psychiatrists who are employable, how many of them typically earn enough to pay a lawyer? Why are you bothering people with so many insults? Why do you blame these people based on one comment? You do not know the context of anything, yet you make assumptions and belittle people in pain.
My psychiatrist said he had a 100% success rate. Told me what was wrong with me. I ended up in hostpital after 5 weeks. Looked up his google review. He had a 0 out if 5. People describing my experience uncannily.
So many things you’re saying, Laura, parallel my own journey through psychiatry’s world of insanity, being sent to psychiatrists against my will by my father when I was 14 , then later in life receiving this ‘diagnosis’ of bipolar disorder
later on and being put on drugs which ruined my life as a man and as a father,and now being convinced that I never had that ‘condition ‘ to begin with.
This young lady blows my mind every time I see/listen to her talk! She’s wise beyond her years for all of these experiences she’s had! She’s absolutely amazing & proof of how much one human being can change the world for the better!
Thank you, Laura Delano, for sharing your clarity of mind & vision for the future with us! Thank you for theinnercompass.org & The Withdrawal Project w/all the gear, tips, wisdom & list of symptoms A to Z! Thank you also for your free intensive workshops! You are a BRIGHT light in the tunnel of darkness! Thank you for everything! ♥️🌹🙏🏼
Thank you. I have similar experiences in adolescence. 2 wards, 5 years of taking lots of shit and 4 diagnosis. Thanks for human perspective on these experiences. My family mostly still believe I am mentally ill.
My son was taken away from me because one doctor diagnosed me with bipolar disorder on my first visit. It was 3 years after my child's birth. 4 years later my son was taken away from me. Now I am truly mentally ill because I lost my child. Married for 20 years and diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I am suicidal now.
@@beataannanowak659 hello again Beata, I keep running into you in the comments to this kind of video, it must be because we're both in tremendous emotional pain and desperately seeking consolation of some kind or answers.
We both have probably very different stories and reasons for our suffering but we have in common that we are in despair for a long time. I know that you have had your darling child unjustly taken from you and fir no good reason only that perhaps you were already experiencing trauma at the time from bad treatment from a relative ( forgive me if I'm wrong but I think I remember you saying it was a parent that traumatised you) I'm not sure what happened but I am sure it's a long and complicated saga.
I just hope you are coping OK at the moment, that there is something in your life that gives you even some small comfort. I'm really struggling to find any kind of comfort or hope myself. All I can offer just now is that I share your pain and understand in someway if that makes you feel any less alone in it.
There is so much injustice in this world and you seem to have had more than your fair share of it. I hope you can find some way of getting healing and hope.
I take it that like me and so many others, you have been failed by or even worse, further harmed by the psychiatric system. You did say somebody used your psychological condition to label you unfit as a mother, I think. Or was it that they exaggerated or even lied?
I'm sorry that I'm so unclear of what your situation is if you've already told me. I'm having difficulty taking in and retaining all I hear these days because I'm so anxious my head is all over the place.
Anyway I'm just saying hello and hoping things get better for you.
@@beataannanowak659 Actually; u r "NOT "mentally ill" but rather "mentally DISTURBED". Labels aside; please stop demeaning urself by saying u r "mentally ill" bc that label's demeaning, shameful, & stigmatizing. Nvrthlss; sorry about ur experience RE: ur son.
I've watched quite a few videos like this one from people just like you, and it always breaks my heart while at the same time filling it with fear, and indeed, psychiatry, by virtue of it's coercive nature, is very scary. If anybody watching this video is currently trapped within the psychiatric system, contact the Citizen's commission on human rights (CCHR) and file a report with them and ask them for help. They will do everything that they can to help, and they WILL help you even if it takes decades. The reason I say that is because they have secured the release of many people over the years from psychiatric hospitals and in one case it took them over 10 years to secure his release, but they never gave up and eventually won the man's freedom. Look up Rodney Yoder if you're interested in reading about that particular case.
Once again you've nailed it, Laura! Thanks so much for "telling it like it is" and your untiring efforts to counter the psychiatric indoctrination that has so gripped our society. Carol and I plan to share this with as many people as we can.
I definitely relate to this experience. I for sure feel like I am on this same journey. Thank you for being so sensible and compassionate about it. It's been very hard to accept that I don't need to say that I'm "mentally ill" nearly every time I enter a room or meet new people. How much damage that has done to my reputation and ability to do anything at all is unspeakable. Thank you for being a brighter light further down that still dark tunnel. I hope I can get there soon. Cheers.
thekingoffunnyfaces I learned by experience. This is what these Drs. have been taught and bought into.
Laura is right on. !
thekingoffunnyfaces hi there friend. I also FEEL THE SAME, I was abused and raped and ungodly pain and was beaten yet nobody dared to check on me or take pictures of the proof that was on my body
thekingoffunnyfaces hit me back , if you’d like me to tell you the HORROR I ALMOST DID NOT SURVIVE. God was really had his HANDS ON ME. There were six big big heavy duty Man that took me down with a chokehold etc. etc. hit me back and I’ll tell you the rest privately
T.K.O.F.F.; The "M.I" labels (i.e.: "mental illness(es)" & "mentally ill" = STIGMA. Stigma's definitely damaging 2 a person's reputation. I've had recent experiences parallel 2 urs.
My sister was diagnosed as bipolar 4 years ago. Her life has been ruined. I have tried to talk to her and send her links to learn that she is being MADE ill by psychiatry. She won't listen.
The ones who feel ill, deserve to be ill..

this was incredible. thank you
Thank you Melani for your sharing and courage ! I wish to speak with you ! A loved one has been diagnosed and you speak my intuition and reflexions ! Blessings and regards
Thank you for your message. ❤ I’ve taken it to heart.
A very articulate and well thought through presentation.
Thanks a lot for making this point so well. I think the personal nature of your explanation will increase the appeal of these perspectives for many people who can't be reached through logical analysis, alone.
It feels so valuable to hear this experience so well articulated, when it may be so broadly such experiences are all around the country - and world ... but in the middle of it - with undermined general functioning contributing to people being so vulnerable and without the strength to avoid the path of least resistance laid out by public insurances etc etc., are like sliding deeper in more and more inhumane unfolding of undermined capacities to function, work, make a living etc. - phenomenally increasing inhumane - life deeper "in the red" (quality of life feeling not worth living). These real life experiences and shared so clearly, is so vital and critical for a moment, that can be such an uphill battle / effort for people in the midst of such undermined quality of life and functioning to be very well engaged in.
Thank You
I am very thankful for videos like you make. I think it is very important and helped me a lot. I have had a similar story. I struggled with psychiatric diagnosis (2 times in Mental hospital) between 13 and 23 and been on and off different medication between the age of 13 and 19. That brought me to hospital because I had to "detox" from being on ssri and bezodiazepines. I have once taken one pill of Mirtazapine and it was so terrible, I felt if I was drugged. Now I am 25, almost finished college. And I will never take psychiatric medication ever again. But I think it has done some damage to my body bc my insulin levels are out of wack and I have "brainfog" and sleeping and digestive problems still. Best wishes from Berlin, Grmny
Hey man, could we get in contact pkease? Thank you
Very well put Laura
Thank you
Thank you. Some great points. The only issue I have is that there are real biological disorders of the brain in many cases which are diagnosed as bipolar or schizophrenia, mitochondrial disfunction or inflammation for example, circadian rhythm mismatch, unhealthy microbiome. Even low dietary cholesterol can lead to neural degeneration. Lots of good work on fixing these lifestyle diseases by returning to nature and the national human diet.
Roland S., W/all due respect 2 ur comment RE: the biological component of mental health conditions. U r misconstruing what Ms. Delano said. She says that such conditions DO NOT REQUIRE MEDICATION (the term "treatment" is a euphemism 4 medication). More often than not; the environment is usually a root cause of mental health issues (especially when 1's abused, bullied, harassed, & mistreated by other people but not solely limited 2 such). From THAT standpoint, I completely agree w/Ms. Delano. U have some valid points also but the biological aspects r very subjective in interpretation. Hence, Ms. Delano's point.
Verry brave overcomming these challenges and getting insight & a true brighter vieuw. Please, keep on having this life expiriance online to help others to overcome the illusion of stigma and desperation of psychiatric influences. I myself are also searching a way out. Your an inspiration. Erik
Thank you!
you seem very balanced and healthy now!
Thank you
just want to mention the underappreciated possibility that lack of nutrients, or a problem with the diet a person eats, is a big cause or the whole reason why someone is sad or angry or worried for long periods of time
study this, try to not solely listen to how it "feels inside" nutrition can change how people feel and so can a change in diet
I also want to spread the word about, not lithium as medication prescribed by doctors, that comes in dangerously high doses for the liver. Instead, I want to mention Lithium as a food additive, in small doses, that is in no way harmful for the body, this kind of lithium can be bought over the counter, and have the name lithium orotate.
there is a lot of great descriptions on the internet about lithum orotate, descriptions, and lectures made by real doctors that recommend people to use it even though big pharma doesn't like it since it can't be patented
I tried this food additive, and it helped me a lot,
I learned that when people are worrried they think a lot, and when we think a lot the reserves of lithium in the body are depleted
this makes, at least some of us much more worried.
@Galderik Thankyou i really appreciate that!
it is important for us who agree to show support for each other, we are too few have too little power and too powerful enemies.
I wish You great luck and victory upon victory against those that fight against you.
My brother died. Full of psych meds. Our family (parents) hated us.
Psychiatrists destroy people from the inside out. Governments love them.
"To see emotional pain as pure pathology is to rob it of its
humaness" 🖒🖒🖒🖒
I have had a similar experience as yours, I also believe I've been falsely diagnosed. however, psychiatric disorders are real, but not necessarily permanent.
I challenge your assertion that psychiatric illnesses are real. Your experiences are real, that's for sure. The suffering that people experience is very real, but there is no scientific evidence what so ever to substantiate the notion that psychiatric "disorders" are real. There are no blood tests, x rays, scans, etc, of any kind, that show up the existence of a mental illness in a person, so psychiatrists base their diagnosis on behavior. But as the late Dr. Thomas Szasz, professor of psychiatry emeritus once said..."behaviors are not diseases. That's that's what diseases are." It has been centuries since the founding of psychiatry and thus far they have not found one single biological marker that proves, scientifically, that there is an illness or disease present in the psychiatric patient's body. Now, some say "Well, that's because it's an illness of the mind and it's not physical. Fine. Then how do we justify treating these "illnesses" with drugs that affect the person's body....often with horrible side effects? The answer is you can't. Psychiatry is a pseudoscience at best, and a global fraud at worst. Actually, that's not the worst. The worst of it is that it's actually dangerous to people on a mental, spiritual, physical and political level.
They aren’t real. They try to make the human experience into symptoms of non-existent disorders because of “brain chemistry”. It’s all a sham.
You have shown the courage and you have guts. Being on your own now is not an easy in your case because I am more than sure your sad days are not over yet and happiness you want is still remote. Diagnosed with maniac depressive took toll on your young mind and pills haven't helped you as it was promised by a doc. I am not a highly educated person nor any doctor nor any wiser guy. But I know something about being diagnosed with mental illness and believing it for over 40 years. My life was all right until it took an ugly turn when I was 13. I was picked in the hood by somebody and had a hard time ever since. My school collided with my interest in Eastern meditation and Fine Arts. School went this way and my interest the other way. So naturally I had to face effects of my decisions and my marks went extremely low to the point of no return. Had to repeat class year in a third grade of College. My conflicts with professors, parents and neighbours deepened and my isolation and loneliness caused states of depression. I was also active in sports. Mainly martial arts, judo and karate, which gave more salt and pepper to my problems with school. It happened I found myself in the apartment of unknown man in remote city when he immediately diagnosed me with a heavy mental illness. He saw me less than 2 minutes and using iron ball on a thread he checked my hand biocurrents direction or something, and came out with his diagnosis. I was surprised because he was no psychiatrist but a witch doctor, a healer, bioenergotherapeutist, astrologer, meditator, and clairvoyant as he was claiming. He said, You did something bad in the past, bad karma is being burn in you, you will experience a karmic overpowering and you will return to peace after that. Everybody must pass through this. You need to pray and to help others in need. He gave me a Zodiac chart and That's it. I left his apartment at 1.00 a.m. and returned back to my city taking a train. 2 weeks after that encounter I got realization of Awakening to mind's true nature and my world changed. Only if I had kept my mouth shut, what I recommend for you, I would not experience 40 years of psychiatric treatments and 6 time hospitalizations in Poland and in Canada. But I was so excited with my sudden enlightenment that I opened my mouth and started talking. That was a mistake I was paying for 41 years later. My mother brought to our home an older man, I thought it was my Zen Teacher in disguise visiting me in his illusoric body using magic he knew because he talked about his ability to change phisical shape at will, who checked my temperature, 37C, and said to my mother, we are taking him. He left. After 30,min 2 men in white appeared and escorted me for a one hour drive to near town, to a Sanatorium for Mentally Insane. I spent there 8 months till my discharge as a sane. My diagnosis was SYNDROMA PARANOIDALE in Latin on my paper. My next diagnosis was as paranoid schizophrenic and I was put on long term therapy by Montreal doctors for 36 years. I believed there is something bad with my brain as I was told and took hundred of thousands of pills and 493 injections in 15 years. Yet durring my hospitalizations and my following up with 20 shrinks I had never experienced anything like confusion or hearing voices, only people were talking to me and bothering me for about 26 years, they stopped as suddenly as they started, and I saw many worlds in this One World, which my Zen teacher explained to me in a letter, That's Ok, That's only your karma. If you keep strong DON'T KNOW MIND and correct direction then your karma slowly, slowly will change and your problem disappears. Then you can fix your sickness and help all people including your mother. It was in 1996 he wrote these words to me. As he said so it happened. I was in hospital 24 years ago for the last time. Ever since I am without disturbances coming from people or from my own mind. My mind is clear and my world is clear. My vision is pure vision and my life is peaceful. One of my pen friends on Facebook told me I have no mental illness, never had and my health is flourishing, he accused me of being a con artist and a pathological liar, but to my knowledge I Don't fall under that category. My awakening to reality is proven with this today's snow and yesterday's moon which was shinning whole night into my windows.
Now, you. What do you want from life...? Where will you go when dead...? How will you be reborn....? Who will you become....?
Your diagnosis is a history. Don't identify yourself with that. You are a human as everybody else. And have your life in your hands. So make your choices. Choose wise and you can make your future bright. Choose poor and your future is poor also. Helping other people and animals will help you and your mind may be problems free too. Good luck to you. Keep up the good work girl.

@@mitch5222 Hahaha! Glad you asked. I am fine as always since 1981. Feeling good and at peace. My life turned to what is called TAO. WU Wei of TAO became my life. I am lacking neither salt nor pepper. One good effect of my treatment was I don’t need to arbeit and checks are coming every month. My mental state is same as before that means mind is clear and my life is clear.
Laura's story is inspiring & hopeful, but it's her unique story. Most of us with poor mental health would love to be able to take ownership of our lives without medications, but that is not reality for many. None of us want to take medication, but for some of us, it's imperative just to function
Psychiatric medication makes nobody function, its disables and destroys lives.

What kind of drugs do you do ??
The trouble is that a diagnosis becomes identity. Personally, I had a hacker and cyberstalker which the reactions to vent into old psychological categories.
The psychiatrist attempted to talk me into mental illness instead of investigating what I said I was experiencing. I didn't realize how stifling this could be.
This went on for over 5 years. The people I trusted were crafting a mental illness diagnosis. It was quite a bind.
The technology wasn't out then to identify who it was. I didn't have the technological language then.
I have some language issues that went unidentified. They are remediable with technology. I take medication for two conditions. But I'm not invested in the story of them.
Bipolarity was one of the conditions arbitrarily discussed. Then a nos personality disorder. There were no answers in either of these.
I was a counselor at the time which made this conflict much worse. There are differences between old authoritarian psychiatry and newer types of care.
People benefit from understanding how their emotions work. It's a skill. It's not always biological. Sometimes it is, but we don't need to live these little narratives. The narrative can be transcended.
This conflict has stolen 20 years of my life. I am still stigmatized as a result; I've handled this by giving other information.
I am completely divested from psychiatry and psychology. But, I really loved working with emotions. I'm trying to figure out how to reconcile this.
Like you I'm recovering from the quack group.
I read a lot now that I've identified the auditory and visual processing problems. I have been making different meaning out of all kinds of things. Whereas before, therapists made all the meaning. This has changed.
I research what I want to know. And I see a general family doctor. It worked out the best.
I'm trying to get a book written on this. I appreciate your story.
I am stuck on psychiatric meds! The psychiatrist has put me on a community treatment order! Can somebody help me?! I don't know what to do. The meds are damaging my brain. I'm on a Paliperidone injection and Seroquel at night. If I don't show for an injection the doc can call the cops to bring me into hospital.
Unless you're under some court order, you can reject treatment as your patient's rights.
Native722 I'm on a court order that's the problem.

Read "The Myth of Mental Illness" What we have here is a lot of broken-hearted, soulsick people and an industry pushing drugs making billions on the exploitation of human suffering. Best to do one's homework before opening one's mouth and inserting both feet.
Psychiatry should be banned & the practice of it a felony.
I'm bipolar, and what is this? lol
HELPP!!!! PLEASE HELP!! GOD, PLEASE READ THIS I NEED HELP!!!
I'm a 19 year old who had a temporary anxiety. My physician offered another anxiety medication like it was nothing, (i've previously been on chlonodine hcl which helps for both hypetension and anxiety). I found out it was a psychiatric(Buspar/Buspirone) :/
No talk about how to use it, side-effects, how it works. And never told me it mitigates the brain. Never said it was a psychiatric drug.
The first time I took it, I definitely noticed a decline in cognitive-faculties. As I kept taking it however, I seemed to regain the ability to think, however, my memory
and the way I read (I tend to be VERY high in IQ, and read chunks ultra fast instead of slowly linearly from left to right) were downgraded.
I will admit I took them all over the place. I tried to stick with taking it at morning (4am when I wake up) and then another in the afternoon. But honestly sometimes I'd
forget and only ingest one. I made a follow up with my doctor once after the prescription and he told me it's until my brain adjusts. He had some point in there because i did kind of start seeing to regain my ability to think creatively but my way of reading was still changed from fast to slow and my memory was still bad.
I had a realization realizing wtf I was taking and realizing it alters my brain and noticing my memory not as good and reading linearly instead of how I normally read. I then decided to search this thing up. I found out it's a psychiatric drug that mitigates the brain and I just got
so fucking scared. I started searching up "buspar lowers intelligence." I've read some posts on quora about people feeling as smart as they were before and on when going on even more powerful
things such as SSRI's (but then everyone is different). And other people saying "well if we define intelligence as the neurochemistry which is impacted by these drugs..." you get the point.
Generally I'm hyper-aware with my eyes always looking everywhere and ever since this medicine, it has gone away. Also, I stumbled upon these videos claiming that psychiatric medicatinos can be the devil for some
people: ua-cam.com/video/qTfuhKWWbGU/v-deo.html
They say that it impedes cognitivie abilities, but what makes me think I can stay this sane is because my very High IQ (Stanford Binet 149) took the hit and I'm still
able to cognitively function.
I quit cold turkey. 10 days ago was the last time I took it, after taking it for 3weeks/month. However, I did not know that quitting cold turkey was a bad thing. No one ever had these conversations
with me, and I really do feel like a victim :(
I'm scared that quitting Cold Turkey will do brain damage, but I searched it just lists the withdrawal side effects as more severe. I just don't know what to do man. Please someone just tell me what to do to get out of this mess.
I don't want to feel hopeless. Please don't put any blame on me, I admit that I was ignorant. In fact, I grew up in a bubble of my ethnic community (Mexican) and
didn't really find out the difference between an entree and an appetizer til like a month ago or two.
I've also seen other posts on reddit about brainfog on buspirone/buspar, and no one believing them. But I do.
I'm just so scared.
Hey there! i know it might be hard for you to believe this right now in your situation but do not worry. your intellect and cognitive functions will return once your brain heals and chemicals return to normal. i myself am a survivor of psychiatric drugs and i have made a complete recovery and my intelligence is back to normal. i advice u to reinstate ur dose and start microtapering slowly to avoid bad withdrawal effects. trust me you will recover, dont read horror stories online because they exaggerate a lot and are full of panicy people and everyones story is different. i also thought i would never be normal again but here i am completely healed and enjoying life again :)
Update. I'm doing better
I think meds don't helps they make dump I took xeplion it 3 months and it caused me all those distraction.
