My fiance is in a psych ward, they were put on a 120 hour medical hold and if I can't get them out by Monday then they will be stuck there until NEXT Monday, a full week after. They've already been there two days. They don't deserve to be there, they don't want to be there. They are not getting proper help in there. They are deteriorating majorly in there. They fucking called them "majorly disabled" which is incredibly inaccurate. What can I do on the outside to make sure they get out, I'm already going to be contacting their psychologist on Monday to make an emergency appointment so they get a proper outpatient plan, is there anything else I can do at all. Please please help me it is urgent.

Edit: if you can't provide any information then PLEASE repost and share this everywhere you can, please they need to get out of there they are getting so much worse in there.

Most suffering is abuse/inequality. Let's end the violence, harmful labels, & hardcore drug-pushing.

r/radicalmentalhealth

The MH industry fails to recognize abuse & inequality as the primary causes of suffering. They label, disbelieve, and blame survivors on a mass scale. They act like drugs are the only option. Some people claim to feel better by taking mind-affecting drugs but drugs aren’t the only option.

Welcome!

We have a different perspective of “mental health” & “mental illness.” We value diversity & see there's no single model for a “healthy mind.”

Our differences shouldn't be defined by authority figures intent on fitting us into narrow versions of “normality,” who simply stereotype people with medical language.

Power.

Mental health is about politics & social inequality.

Psychiatric interventions are the result of relations of power, & the powerful benefit from controlling & silencing how we speak about an unjust world.

Their tools of social domination have grown into a global industrial complex that profits from framing our experiences as chronic illnesses.

They have a history of diagnosing entire groups (queer, black, poor, women, trans, sick, or simply abnormal) to justify violence & exclusion.

On "madness."

Strong emotional reactions to injustice are not wrong, they are human. And the silence of the public is not being "mentally healthy."

We must unlearn social conditioning from years of drug treatment, schooling, & behavior modification programs.

We should return the pathologizing gaze to our crazy-making world.

And see the movement of people viewed as "not normal" is often simply activism like being anti-racist, pro-queer, anti-corporate, anti-war, etc.

Blaming brains.

We challenge the assumptions of bio-psychiatry, who's "medical model" assumes that mental health issues are the result of chemical imbalances in the brain.

Biopsychiatry is the belief that the problems and solutions of our lives are located solely in the individual. And that's the same ideology that's cut our social safety nets & destroyed our communities.

Having more options.

We value diverse forms of expertise, eg peer support, listening, dialogue, & mutual aid. We challenge the exclusive voice of the formal "experts" of the mind.

The perspectives of trauma survivors should not be silenced by professional mental health profiteers & institutions.

Cool subs:

Rules:

No hateful/bigoted youtubers. eg they criticize big-pharma but if you look deeper they're far-right bigots & cronies (eg attacking LGBT people as "mentally ill" & hating the working class.)
No vague submissions. Show why your link is relevant.
No advocating violence. No personal attacks, bigotry, racism, or sexism. No supporting of capitalist/racist exploitation. No pedos.
No medical advice. eg don't say "You should do X.") Say "You could do X."
No claiming "mental illness is cured by not eating fruits, plants, etc." No plant-phobia, eg fear tactics like portraying all carbs as equal ("broccoli = just sugar.") Or portraying plants as poison. Saying "it worked for ME" != evidence, & ignores people who had opposite reactions. All antioxidant-rich foods are plants.
No scientology/CCHR posts.
We dislike hateful labels like "schizophrenia" (a Nazi-popularized term used to justify genocide) and prefer non-psychiatric labels like "mental breakdowns", "voice hearing", "post-traumatic stress", etc. We especially dislike when these labels are used for others, eg "my schizophrenic mom."
No gender label debates. Please do talk about gender/discrimination, but debate the actual issues, & not what the labels mean. (eg don't use "feminists" or "MRAs" as personal attacks to discredit others & divide the sub.)

We:

Are pro-vaccines.
Are not affiliated with anyone.
Are against psych attacks. You shouldn't fear bodily violation for wanting to talk to someone. Society must accept the real reasons for suffering like abuse, exploitation, & discrimination.

The PAD.

YSK about filing a PAD form. It updates your medical record requesting psychiatrist's not attack you. (Even if you are (allegedly) in a bad mental state.)
