Obviously, there are many, many rather excellent psychiatrists
practicing in Europe, Canada, and the United States. But having
witnessed a good friend's experiences with the mental-health
establishment, I am certain that there are great numbers of sloppy,
mean-spirited psychiatrists, mental-health nurses, and social workers
making good livings while subtly abusing their power and their
patients.

Therefore, it is imperative that you, the patient, obtain access to
your medical records so that you can make written additions that both
refute and correct the doctors' mistakes and their slanderous
attempts to justify the fact that they incarcerated you. Sometimes they
even get mixed up about their patients' identities and then report
one patient's problems (and crimes?) as another's. Suddenly, and
without your knowledge, you are accused of purposely getting crazed, of
drinking pints of mouthwash on Christmas day.

And don't kid yourself, except for top top-secret government
intelligence, no written or electronic record is really confidential.
