Dear Stan, This past March 30, 2007, without warning or suspicion, I was suddenly, unvoluntarily committed to a Tennessee mental hospital. When I arrived, the psychiatrist told me there was one reason I was there: I think I am Jewish. He said that because I admitted that I was Jewish, he had heard enough to lock me up and keep me there. He wrote in medical records that I was unable to care for myself, incapable of making decisions, and clearly psychotic. I was beaten and drugged twice daily. I was held there against my will for 15 days. Because I was unable to show up for work during these 15 days, I lost my fabulous job of working 29 hours weekly as an online educator, teaching math and reading to students in grades 3 through 9. I have absolutely no history of any mental health incident, and of course was taking excellent care of myself, others, and the projects I was involved in. I can tell you and others more about it if you are interested. I am eager to advertise the injustices against me, and tell about the abuses against others that I witnessed. These people used current mental health laws to intentionally, maliciously harm me due to their own hate. There is nothing scientific about psychiatry or diagnosing anyone with a mental illness. The idea of anyone being "mentally" ill is not scientific, but only a made-up idea. Whether or not anyone is thinking clearly, or mentally imbalanced, is always, and only, a matter of personal opinion. What is normal and desirable for one person is not for another. In Tennessee, they used mental health laws to claim that my rejection of Christianity is clear evidence of my inability to care for myself, not thinking clearly, and being psychotic. The state of Tennessee government financed the entire thing. It was not my mental status, but their jealousy, arrogant ethnic pride, and hate of others that was the problem. I previously had no interest in anything having to do with mental health. However, I have found out that many Americans every day are involuntarily committed to mental health hospitals, due to grudges against them by jealous relatives, neighbors, roommates, and co- workers. I have found out that many adults are victims of forced drugging. It is not to prevent them from harming themselves or others, but to limit their potential, and keep them from progressing in life. Mental health laws are not used to help, but are instead used to control, harass, abuse, intimidate, and destroy lives. Please let me know how I can help you and others make appropriate decisions regarding disability, mental health laws, and other areas of health care. I hope to hear from you! Sincerely,
