The boy was from then on treated even worse by his family. They had been told by psychiatrists after all, no doubt in technical language, that he was mad. Perhaps they had told them he was psychotic, even though none of the requisite symptoms. For psychiatrists that would be like confirming he had TB, totally unware of any impact. He remembers during the case interview being asked pertinent questions about visual hallicinations, and he told them of one-which wasn't really one. He was after all only 16. Significantly, they did not ask about his family life or anything that might possibly be pertinent.
He realised then and now that psychiatrists have little genuine knowledge of the world, the mind, certainly nothing on psychology. They are taught an ABC approach to mental health based upon lists.
His family treated him appallingly, usually as if he was cognitively impaired.
At one point his parents tried to get him into a home for the educationally subnormal.
Broken by the drugs and treatment, he returned to the hospital several times, living with drug-addicts, paedophiles, rapists, murderers. He felt that somehow, receiving such treatment, he was guilty of a terrible crime!
As a consequence of arrogent and ignorent psychiatrists, his relationship with his family, parents and siblings, was destroyed. No doubt, he was one of very many who had suffered in this fashion. Psychiatrists seem not to believe there is any consequences to their actions, as, for doctors confronted with a physical illness who treat it often without reference to family and friends.
Understandably, he was broken by these terrible experiences, and further damaged by the drugs given to him.
In this narrative, the paedophiles, perhaps to their amazement, got away with their crimes-I can assure you that this was merely one instance amongst an unrecorded many!
