"Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another". Richard Bach

Take Back Your Inner Power
By accrediting recovery to a pill, it declares a lack of self belief in self, and disavows the innate mental processes and self healing which have accompanied recovery. It allows society to continue to bury its head in the sand, to see people in extreme distress as "mad" rather than accept its own failures to deal with the very issues that bring people into its system of "care" - abuse, violence, loss, isolation, neglect, stigma, prejudice, and disenfranchisement. Instead of unwisely investing in big pharma, workers and clients need to be honest about the shortcomings and failures of the psychiatric system to currently help victims of these issues and pledge to work in partnership to create a different enviroment - one that genuinely cares about recovery and dosen't put profits and status above compassion.
