Re: “Mad Medicine”

From what I understand about the mental diversity movement from this article, there is not a "meds are bad" attitude at all. The aim being no judgment one way or the other as regards people's decisions to use or not use medication.

Offering alternatives to those who have not come across them before is always a good thing.

Spartacus' comment about "short-sighted tripe" doesn't sound very respectful, and this article was nothing but respectful.

It seems to me that he is one of the "public that not only tends to associate voice hearers with a higher potential for violence, but also habitually treats these people by snuffing their irregularities into silence with potent medication," and thus exactly who PHV seeks to re-educate. I wish them well in their endeavor.
