In the hands of others: the nightmare begins

Abstract

To summarise, this article is no easy task: half my life, in less than 150 words. Isolation, loneliness and medication come to mind. The results of medication surely must terrify people. Some agree with medication, even when day to day I see them falling apart physically. I see no “holistic” hope. The “hierarchy” may live well; us at the bottom have very little but meagre survival. Politics is not my forte. I cannot see things improving for people in the community, especially regarding mental health. People in positions of power need to be truly aware of pharmaceutical dangers. Although how can they be? Have they tried the medications? Not that I am aware of. They need to be made more aware of the need for care and compassion. This includes providers in the community. In short: Loneliness, Isolation and Medication have contributed to my Nightmare in the Hands of Others.
