The medical field and complaining work in symbiosis. Being a patient is all about complaining… except in psychiatry. Real doctors listen to their patients complaints that they must resolve. This is not what psychiatrists do: they dismiss your own complaints by complaining about you.
Psychiatrists don’t work. They complain.
Everytime you complain to your psychiatrist, they complain back as to dismiss your complaint, and then they complain some more. Whatever you do, they always have something to complain about : it’s called a diagnosis, or having a psychiatric condition. Whatever you do or say, if it contradicts the psychiatrist, he will add a new diagnosis to explain away the new behavior, or sophisticatedly call you a liar.
Example : ADHD and crystal meth
You complain about your ADHD? They will complain that your stimulants addiction. ADHD means depending on stimulants, so the psychiatrist will diagnose you with an addiction to torture you into not getting the stimulants you need. Only a psychiatrist prescribes rehab for a dependance and then shame you when you “relapse” into what he calls addiction. It is just the medecine you need that you get from the competitors they call drug dealer when they just are free street pharmacist.
How to write a complaint?
Assume you are owed something that wasn’t given to you or that you shouldn’t have been given what was forced upon you.
- Be specific when you complain as to direct attention to the actions of the staff and the doctors. For that, you have to be observant, and focus on what is actually said and done, rather than how it feels.
- Label their actions as you denounce them: they do it to you all the time. By labeling their actions they must defend themselves against the label, and can’t easily reframe their actions to their advantage. (This is what psychiatrists do all the time: they label your actions always against you and everyone takes the label for the action. That’s how you become your labels and stop being a human being.)
- Don’t leave yourself out of the complaint. Say also what you did or said, and label your words and actions too. It makes you seem self-aware, aknowledging your role in the situation and defining it before they get to.
- State your expectations by complaining. You don’t want them to decide what to do with the complaint, nor to think that you complain just to complain. Don’t ask for the moon, though. Ask for disciplinary measures, for the employee to be reminded of proper conduct… It gives them ideas on how to treat your complaint and make you look like you care for the others who may suffer as well from this bad behavior.
- Make the costs explicit. The desk for complaints is management. Their main job is not your satisfaction. They want to know how to better manage ressources. So find a legit reason they would want to intervene. For instance, if the employees don’t charge your phone at night and you have to ask a second time in the morning, don’t just say you are angry that you cannot use your phone a couple of hours because it has to charge then. Say that the employees at night are not doing their jobs and are dumping it on the employees on the day shift; that night shift is less busy and have plenty of time to do it, and that therefore they are not working properly as a team. Make them see they can improve human ressources management, and they will love treating your complaint, because they can then write a report on how they improved human ressources even if it all came from you.
- Make them look unbelievably bad when you complain: because then they have no choice but to deny it. They will deny it because you are not credible: it’s too easy for them to say you are lying. Put them in a situation where, whether or not you are crazy, they would deny it anyway. They make these types of mistakes all the time! Just use the proper labels to make it seem unacceptable.
Research!
Ideally, you’d know about deontology and how relationships with a healer work as to formulate serious complaints that questions the good faith of the psychiatrist. It’s not about you just being angry : it’s about you actually being harmed. Unfortunately, complaints, however true and outrageing they may be, are treated by other psychiatrists who have an interest in not reaching the proper conclusion which would be disciplinary measures on psychiatrists. Psychiatry got itself an “exceptional” status on every level of medicality : it’s abnormal for it to still be considered medecine when on every aspect it differs.
There’s always something to complain about
You psychiatrist ALWAYS makes a mistake : at every interaction he is at fault simply because it is NOT medecine. So you can always find something to denounce. It’s just that they constantly use Jedi mind tricks to hide their abuse. For instance : they might say something like “it should be obvious that you were autistic at four years old” instead of “I didn’t find obvious you were autistic at four old when I interviewed the non-autistic old lady recalling 26 year old memories of you” so the problem always seem to not be them. Or they will make up rules like : “I need access to your file from other hospital to diagnose your autism” when in truth, you are the patient and they shouldn’t need anything more than you and expertise to diagnose your autism. Often they will exceed their field of competence like misguiding you about your rights or diagnose or not something that isn’t theirs to diagnose or not.
How to get what you need
If you try to push to get a diagnosis for a condition that you know you have, they will complain that you are trying to get indemnities, drugs, or, god forbid, a reputation: basically, you will seem suspicious for simply trying to… make yourself better off! (How are psychiatrists even considered doctors if not by collective psychosis? It’s not reasonable.)
Complain to the staff
So you have to force yourself on them like they force themselves on you. Remember that they forced your sequestration in the hospital. Pull a Rorshack (from Watchmen) and let them know you are not stuck in the hospital with them; they are stuck in the hospital with you. They have to make you better! They make you stay, but they need you to leave; you don’t have any obligation whatsoever, you just want to leave and end up collaborating with your oppressor to get what you want, but they will give it to you anyway since they must get you out of the hospital.
Instead, refuse to talk to psychiatrists; don’t even give them a reason why. Then the staff will try to get to know why you won’t talk to them : tell them they don’t see this or that diagnosis and are harming you with the wrong treatment. And just keep denying the psychiatrist until you are properly diagnosed and treated. And then you can deny them some more.
For autism
In the case of autism (because they HATE diagnosing autism), say you are interested in talking with a neuropsychologist. The psychiatrist will assume that you want quid pro quo : “give me a neuropsychologist and I’ll talk to the psychiatrist”; but that’s just them projecting on you. When you get the neuropsychologist to diagnose your autism, still refuse to talk to them. And if they seem disappointed, tell them you are not responsible for what the staff reported to the psychiatrist: for all you know, the staff could’ve said you wanted a dragon that flies and breathes fire and they’d have believed it. Simply reiterate what you said and that they assumed quid pro quo says a lot about their practice.
How to end what harms you
Often, they will do things that harm you. Most times, they will give you shitty service. You don’t have to shut up about it. The problem with psychiatric patients is that they eventually shut up. If you are always complaining and never stop, eventually the psychiatrist look like he lost control. Even if you are the only one complaining, the fact that you never stop makes the psychiatrist look like he can’t get your condition under control. Remember that your psychiatrist tied themself to you, and how you act reflects on him too. That’s how you use their power against them. If a situation is harming you, complain about it and never stop complaining.
Complain to the hospital
Always complain to the hospital. They have an office dedicated to complaints. Complaining all the time (do it by email if you can) ensures you keep your own written record of your mistreatment during your hospitalization. Doctors lie in your medical file: say the truth in your email history to the desk of complaints. Encourage other patients to complain as well: the more the hospital is flooded with complaints, the more they will find psychiatry suspicious and incompetent.
Make them make even more mistakes
If you need something from your psychiatrist, ask the nurse, and when it’s not given to you, complain that your psychiatrist doesn’t read the nurse’s notes (psychiatrists do not bother reading your file: they just keep adding new observation sheets since the goal isn’t to cure you but to build a narrative of you going from bad to okay.)
