My strongest belief for the legalisation of assisted suicide from unhappy people

No one should be forced to die alone, in secret, because of someone else's poor definition of morality.

The power of god

I may or may not have it. If I did, the point where I would abuse it is in vengance. Retribution is always ugly.

The campaign to drug psychiatrists and mental health workers

Simply, those working with the mentally ill need to feel what it is like to take the awful drugs that are prescribed by evil psychiatrists.

(It would be better if those with lived experience were aided to become part of a new wave of professionals who understand mental illness from book-learning and from living with it.)

No one can understand the dehabilitating effect of the drugs from a psychiatric research paper or textbook. But this is the current paradigm which fails patients, particularly those forced to take antipsychotics.

This needs to stop and the best way would be employing people with lived experience. In the absence of this great leap we should force the drugs on the prescribers as they force them on the patients they purport to treat.
