Behind closed doors: Exposing Abuse In Psych Wards, Historical & Current

Sharing stories through history about abuse in psych wards / mental asylums. Showing a clear pattern, an echo through time, where the vulnerable get taken advantage of, as though it is a tale as old as time. I share my experience having ended up in 3 psych wards due to a severe benzo withdrawal that led to antidepressant and antipsychotic withdrawal, and many years tapering off these medications slowly so I could remain functional. I was non functional and harmed by the medication itself. And my journey all began with going into a Drs office with tinnitus. It is not here to scare those currently going through antidepressant withdrawal, benzodiazepine withdrawal or antipsychotic withdrawal. As this really does not need to be your story. And to be mindful of those still going through it to be sensitive to perhaps not watch this episode. However for those who have experienced this story, perhaps this will give you some validation in an experience that is very commonly dismissed or disbelieved. This episode is to bring awareness to a hidden corner of our world and to give validation to those who have walked this treacherous path. LoveEmma
