Dear Adam,
Thank you for such a well written letter. You made some very valid points but obviously you had the strength to seek the proper treatment to "save" your life. A lot of people don't have the option of being part of a research study and are so ill/depressed/etc. that they accept whatever their psychiatrist's prescribe. Maybe the 15 minute check allowed by their HMO with no choice of psychiatrist contributes to some of it. You're right, I do blame the system, the psychiatrists who abuse their power by hospitalizing and applying conservatorship to noncompliant patients. And yes, I've been the victim more than once and that was with highly esteemed psychiatrists with fully compensated 45 minute sessions. Thank you and take care.
