Certainly. When I was inpatient I saw them drug a man and lock him in a small closet.
The state won’t investigate the fact that I was assaulted - they sure as shit won’t ever believe anything that man says.
I don’t understand why the state of the mental health system is so fucked. and why no one seems to be trying to fix it.
... My ex was SA'd by a staff member during one fairly long term stay.
Managed to get that guy fired, but not ... you know, prosecuted.
The state of mental health is fucked because mental health, at its core, foundationally is built off of 'how do we pathologize and treat people who have trouble being or cannot actually be any kind of an ideal employee.'
No one fixes this, or homelessness, because ... no one cares, these people have no money or power, they are viewed as drains on society, instead of potentially productive members of society, or even fundamentally as just... human beings with consciousness/souls.
It is a structural issue with literally all of society, and the severely mentally ill, and the homeless (which often coincide, what a shocker) are literally the untouchables class.
We like to think we are more modern, more enlightened, more decent... no, we are not.
We are just better at technological propoganda and treats and distractions.
... Maybe there is a world where ... now that the veil of this has been shattered by the rise of fascist MAGAs... maybe, down the line, this will lead to some kind of equivalent social/philosophical reexamination of how... we do everything, as there was after WW2 and the Holocaust... maybe that could be our future.
