I hear you.
I have seen very crazy folks - I used to work for a bank whose HQ was near a plaza with a big fountain. A total nutjob woman “lived” by the fountain. We used to call her “ducky” because when you’d walk by on the way to lunch she’d quack like a duck at you. One very snowy day I saw a trust officer from the bank with a policeman “help her” into a police car. The trust officer said they’d checked her into a hotel around the corner - the woman was from a prominent local family and had a very large trust fund. One of the things the trust paid the bank to do was see that her physical welfare was taken care of when it got very cold outside. She refused all other help and there was no way to commit her involuntarily.
I don’t have an answer for the diehard nutjobs who have lost all contact with reality; I do know that freely dispensing powerful drugs to those who haven’t been helped by all other means is just wrong.
I saw the changes in my brother when he got on the right meds. Even my headinthesand, thinkhappythoughts mom even admitted that meds were a good thing!
DUH! That was after years of my Dad thinking if he just hit him enough, he’d get ‘over’ it.
So I see the other side-— people who put kids through hell and see meds as evil.
