Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

      Replying to @AdrienneCullen @gourmetpenguin and

      Agreed. If I'm being asked to 'comply' with something then I'm not being asked at all. I've always objected to others trying to impose themselves upon me in any form, but never more so than when it comes to medical issues. It's called autonomy. MH labels don't make that disappear

      But you're speaking from the perspective of someone who has equal power, and that's not the case with the NHS, and even less so with the MH services. Quite apart from the threat of sectioning, they have much more subtle methods of coercion.

      The whole point of therapy is that you're sat there talking about your most private fears and problems, and in so doing, you're handing them a weapon to use against you. If you allow them to get you hooked on drugs, that's another weapon they can use.

      They look like they're your friend to start with, and then once they have enough ammunition, they pick at your insecurities until you dance to their tune like a marionette.

      I absolutely understand your point. The MH side of medicine terrifies me tbh. I always suspected quackery, but their recent replication crisis is dire. I don't behave as if I have equal power over healthcare choices, I behave as if I have all of it. I do.https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1034407951187042304?s=21 …

      Of all the elements which make up the ugly underbelly of the medical world, that is the one which scares me most. Such a label can even take away your right to have your voice heard and taken seriously in court. Is there any greater power? Or any greater abuse?

      But you don't really, because the NHS has a monopoly. The only choice is Hobsons choice, and even then, not necessarily. Did you see the guy on TV who was sectioned for refusing to take his diabetes meds?

      No! I didn't see that. Have you any link please? You'd be surprised how much you can influence your choices via NHS if you insist on a full, robust consent process. Other treatment options seem to 'emerge' from nowhere. And there *should* the choice to walk away with capacity.

      I've no idea whether it's online. It was one of the fly-on-the-wall TV progs. Repeated 999 calls to patient who keeps stopping his meds (face hidden, not talking to camera), and paramedics say that they tried sectioning him, but had to let him go because he isn't mentally ill.

      Oh dear God! And they put that on TV? Did nobody ask why they even tried to section him if he wasn't mentally ill? 'Had to let him go' implies reluctance to do so. Why were they so set on imposing their will upon that poor chap, I wonder? Really worries me, that sort of thing.
