In reply to Inducing Depression, posted by Steeler Tookahn on August 15, 2000, at 11:08:12
I worked this summer as a legal intern at NY Mental Hygiene Legal Service, a State Agency that represents patients in psychiatric facilities. I can't tell you the number of times I have wanted to 'induce depression' on Judges, Staff, and Dr's. The callous comments, ridiculous decisions, and the way comments are twisted to meet a particular need infuriate me.
I constantly have to remind people that these are real people, and would they say or do X to me, since I am one of them, only able to function better? For some reason it makes a difference if you know the person. As if the words hurt any less....
DON'T GET ME STARTED.
