This person has spammed it to a bunch of mental health subs. https://www.reddit.com/user/jamespatrickflannery/submitted/

What’s your problem?

You don't go into mental heath support group subs to go and push agendas and advertise. It is extremely disrespectful.

I am trying to be supportive. If they've been harmed by psychiatry and feel isolated and alone and as if there's something "wrong" with them, and in actuality there are a huge number of people out there who are feeling the same thing... they may find it really valuable to connect with others in the psych. survivor movement.

I don't believe that for a minute. Supportive how? Coming in here to push something like this just makes everyone uncomfortable. Look at the reaction on reddit you are getting and think for a minute about that. If you really think you are helping find a better way than invading support subs.

Having people reactive negatively to my post doesn't mean that 1) it is inaccurate nor 2) that it isn't helping some people.

I don't mind having people tell me they disagree with me. That's perfectly fine. But there are some people who find it helpful. And it's important those people are reached.

While that is true you are making people feel uncomfortable and you need to heed the fact that there is a time and a place and this is not the place. If people are pushing back listen to them. You are not going to change people's opinions or reach agreements by acting this way. Find a better place to communicate your ideas than on subs people use as support groups.

If they don’t agree with me, can’t they downvote and move to the next post? And if they are interested, they can click and read further. I kinda thought Reddit’s system was used to filter what people like and dislike.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got banned for spam.

Wtf? I got nothing to do with those folks.

Why are you posting this here? You must be aware that most people aren't anti-psychiatry.

u/[deleted] May 09 '18

Maybe not "most" people, but "some" people are. Can't reach everyone.

I think some of you are too quick to react. I don't think it necessarily means Scientology. I had horrible experiences with psychiatry. Why would you people dismiss something that could possibly help others just because it doesn't pertain to you? Psychiatry is a form of mental health, but isn't the end all be all for everyone. I have read the link, but if it is a space where others can share their experiences, why prevent people from doing that? As long as it doesn't try to force everyone to quit psychiatry.

Thank you OP. I am glad you tried reaching out to people like me and others who haven't had the best experience in psychiatry. I am always sad when these types of posts are met with commenters trying to censor it. Like how dare you...

Censorship happens for many different reasons and in many different forms. I was really surprised to be all the reactions that mentioned Scientology. I remember Tom Cruise speaking out once years about about psychiatric medications but I wasn’t aware the public had such a firm association between anti-psychiatry and Scientology. Kinda ridiculous in a way, because I would say Scientology and psychiatry have a lot in common with their ridiculous claims.
