To: Medical Healthcare Professionals who violate the autonomy of mental health patients. I was in both an inpatient and outpatient medical facilities where they forced me to stop all of the medications

Learn how to LISTEN and EMPATHIZE with mental health patients.
Why is this important?
Doctors are violating the civil rights and liberties of mental health patients and they are NOT listening to patient’s opinions and do NOT CARE to understand patients’ experiences. I have struggled with depression, ADHD, PTSD, and social anxiety for my entire life. I have been traumatized by sexual assault which none of my treating physicians even bothered to ask me about. When I start to become angry, the reason is because I am UPSET and TRAUMATIZED. Every medical student and particularly treating physicians need to DO BETTER.
Prior to my mother calling the paramedics on me, I was on a medication regimen that was working very well for me.
I initially was taken to the hospital against my will and then forced into an inpatient mental health ward called Carrier which is located in New Jersey.
As soon as I was admitted, they made me stop taking my medications cold turkey. I NEED these medications to help me get by on a day-to-day basis. They took my medications away and forced me to take 20 different medications including anti-psychotic drugs including, but in no way limited to, Sero-QUELL and Rispiridone. I did not want to take these medications and I informed my doctors that they made me feel suicidal. Instead of listening to my feedback and responding with empathy, they threatened me by saying that i would never be released from the facility if I didn’t take them. There were several physicians who were in on this conspiracy. When I say I feel suicidal, I am not lying or attempting to me dramatic. I am not a passive aggressive person and I do NOT have illusions of grandeur. I am NOT a psychopath.
There was a physician at Carrier, an African American woman named Dr. Abi, who I trusted. However, she was gaslighting me. She told me if I was good and took all the medications they were forcing me to take, I would be released in a couple days. However, they kept pushing out my release date in spite of the fact that i was extremely cooperative despite being extremely unhappy. She said I would be there for 2 or 3 days. I ended up being forced to stay there for 14 DAYS. This is lying and this is the definition of GASLIGHTING.
At carrier, they also wanted to put me in solitary confinement because I was upset about the medication regimen that they forced on me. When I tried to resist and tried to hide from them, 2 large men VIOLENTLY grabbed me and forced me into solitary confinement. I do NOT think physical assault has any place in a mental health ward. I would like to report each and every doctor at Carrier for HIPAA violations. They need to have their medical liscenses revoked. Medical health professionals need to GO BACK TO SCHOOL and learn how to EMPATHIZE WITH MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS.
After finally being released from Carrier, I began an outpatient program called High Focus located on Princess Road in Lawrence, New Jersey. Again, at this facility, they kept forcing me to take anti psychotic medications in spite of the fact that I told them that they made me feel suicidal. One doctor there in particular, Dr. Orr (a male physician) at High Focus, would NOT LISTEN or did NOT CARE to listen to my opinion. The social health care workers at high focus (all women) were EXCELLENT. However, the program was trying to de-individualize patients. The building was FREEZING and we were only allowed to go outside once or twice per day for people who wanted to smoke cigarettes. Nothing breaks your spirit more than health care professionals not even letting you go outside to feel the sun on your face. They made me feel like a rat or an unwilling participant in a clinical drug trial. Regardless of whether or not this was actually the case, it certainly felt like they were trying to strip us of our individual identities. These doctors broke my spirit and made me lose faith in humanity.
I feel like a rat stuck in a rat race.
Again, the medical physicians at Carrier and High Focus are fundamentally lacking in EMPATHY. They need to go back to school and learn EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
These physicians are in violation of HIPAA laws. Please strip them of their medical liscenses until they are able to STOP BEING EGOTISTICAL and begin working to understand and EMPATHIZE with their patients. These mental health professionals need to GO BACK TO SCHOOL and learn humility and how to be humble and empathetic human beings. Mental health patients are Still HUMAN BEINGS, not RATS.
cannot overstate how traumatic my experiences at Cartier and High Focus were. These doctors have broken my spirit. I feel like I am at the end of my rope here and I’m barely holding on. I no longer TRUST mental health doctors or mental health professionals. This industry need to TRY HARDER and PRACTICE EMPATHY and HUMILITY. I cannot let this medical malpractice continue unchecked. There is something deeply wrong with this entire pharmaceutical industry.
