HOSPITAL ALLEGEDLY IMPRISONED
A DEVOTED SPIRITUAL AUTHOR
BY CLAIMING HER PRAYERS ARE
A SIGN OF MENTAL ILLNESS:
EXCERPTS:
Simple emergency room visit turns into a psych ward lockdown
Woman’s prayers were classified as sign of mental instability
Woman refuses psychotic medication; hospital goes to court to force her
Woman now suing the St. Vincent Charity Medical Center for unlawful imprisonment
“Mental illness” label now being applied liberally to people who don’t fit the norm
"It seems that “mental illness” has become a broad term in modern-day society, applied liberally as a means to segregate those who don’t think or act within the boundaries of what’s considered normal or socially acceptable. It’s easy for medical professionals to respond to people they don’t like or understand by detaining them and force-feeding them psychotropic medications. This behavior coming from hospital staff is disturbing and alarming."
"How might psychotropic medications be used like social control weapons — silencers for people’s minds, thoughts, prayers and beliefs? How might the “mental illness” label be applied to kidnap or imprison people just to force a bizarre level of conformity?"
