I dispute the psychiatric community's assessment of myself as being mentally ill. But I might need financial help if I am to overcome such a diagnosis by psychiatry. I suspect that there might even be something racist about my having been assessed as mentally ill at San Luis Obispo Mental Health to begin with. San Luis Obispo is a predominantly Caucasian county in the state of California, and neither of my skin color nor race are white.
I am inclined to theorize that the effects of the medication that I am somewhat compelled to take for such above mentioned mental illness might actually have worse effects on my mind and body than my alleged mental illness itself might. I was inspired at least partly to such a thought by Peter R. Breggin's book "Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking Psychiatric Medications". But even from the beginning of my being diagnosed with mental illness, and before I ever heard of Breggin, I have distrusted the effects of psychiatric medications.
I have tried getting off my medication on my own but a couple of times in the past, here in my new location for the past twenty or so years of Palm Beach county within the state of Florida. But as I fear both the wrath of the police and punishment by psychiatry, I have since then ceased trying to try to get off the medications, that I must take, on my own.
