I was given many different psychiatric labels and psychiatric medications. I started to ask myself, what is this all about? I decided to live without psychiatry in 1990, and for 17 years I have been free from psychiatric wards and hospitals and psychiatric pills. I have a huge website documenting my recovery as well as the work I do to help end electroshock universally.

I've heard things such as "don't have more than two in your practice" and other things from mental health professionals. But, I have also heard of people LIKING borderlines compared to bipolars or schizophrenics because they may eventually get better with intensive therapy and medication. Of course, it takes a long time and can be frustrating. But it depends on your definition of frustrating. Sure, Borderlines are discriminated against by many people in the profession.
