We need to be able to hold space for both: psychiatric medications have both saved *and* destroyed people’s lives.
Many times the difference is in choice, autonomy, and informed consent. Some of us have access to choice, & some of us have it taken away at every opportunity.
Talking about our harmful experiences with psychiatric medications is not a personal indictment of everyone who takes meds. Meds are absolutely vital & necessary for so many people. And also, many marginalized folks are forced into relationships w/ meds without consent.
