Mate I'm not ganging up on you, I'm merely asking questions about a very strong standpoint on medication. Like I said earlier, it's okay you have a different opinion to me but it's not okay if that opinion is sprouted as the only way to feel about something; for instance, telling me what I believe is a lie.
Also, it is clearer to me now that you are discussing forced medications in wards, which is different to the initial tone of your thread encompassing all medications. I believe they can have negative side effects also, and yes in some cases maybe even death, but sometimes they save lives.
Sometimes being unmedicated also causes death as individuals are unable to tolerate their emotions/feelings/hallucinations or may be too unaware to know that what they are doing is not safe.
I just think there should be some grey area here, instead of talking in absolutes of "no need" for medication.
And I'm not trying to gang up on you, I hope you don't interpret my tone as such.
