Where Did I Go Mad


Recommended Posts

Absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking documentary about people suffering severe psychosis, hearing voices, hallucinating etc. A good if difficult watch which I'd really recommend - on BBC catch up now.

The poor b*****ds had suffered abuse as kids, which was most likely the trigger for their mental health problems.

I think we need a debate in this country as to what we do with people who hurt kids. For me we need full term mandatory life sentences and a return to capital punishment. If people understood the real impact of these crimes on the victims then I think there'd be a lot more in favour of change.

watched it, and didn't get that all being honest , they were people who bad experiences when young , and hadn't come to terms with it, and so had brought out a over imaginative imagination , and it gave out me to a form attention seeking , that's what it came over to me. Many time ive gone to bed and woke up seeing things , i even went to my doctor , and was told i had O/I/I like above , i've had it for years . i found the program embarassing to watch, with people playing up to the Camera . :yes: But something different watch for a change .

There ain't enough spent on mental health in this country, resulting in too few hospital beds and the wrong people having to deal with those who suffer from lunacy, such as the police and prison service. I think the closure of the asylums was seen as a cost cutting measure, rather than putting the money that would've been saved saved into adequate supervision and treatment.

Cheaper to prescribe 'medicine' that causes even more problems.

 

Research suicides and murders by people on prozac

 

Another typically Marxist catch phrase created 20 years ago 'Care in the Community' basically shut down all the care homes and institutions and set them free on the streets to fend for themselves :rolleyes:

Those famous Marxists Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan :laugh:

 

The ideology has invaded politics for the last century in all parties and in all aspects of life.

 

Under Thatcher most grammar schools were closed down, hardly a Conservative or right wing thing to do.

"Attention seeking" and "playing up for the camera"...? No wonder these people can't get the help that they need.

It was suggested that one of the victims had suffered 'peritraumatic dissociation', which appears to be an in-built and natural defence mechanism for the brain to detach itself from the reality of the severe trauma of abuse. This then appears to develop a more permanent dissociation with reality..., or psychosis. The cause of his years of torment and misery..., not to mention the years of expensive treatment and medication, can be traced to his abuse as a child.

I know everyone and every situation is different, and not everyone who's mentally ill has been abused, or not everyone who's been abused will develop psychotic illness, but the film describes a pretty convincing link between the abuse and the illness.

Maybe the point I'm trying to make is that I don't think its well understood just how damaging and lasting the abuse of children can be.., and that I feel the criminal justice system just doesn't get near to justice for the likes of these poor souls. It's time we started to purge our society of these animals.

PS. I've taken a tablet now I'll be right in a minute?
