Loved your speech.

I'm a senior citizen -- type 2 diabetic.  I had a hypoglycemic event, which is treated as bipolar disorder in MN.  That's right.  I was semiconscious on arrival at HCMC.  I needed a glucose drip, not a psych admission. 

Since then, I've learned that veterinarians know when cats and dogs need glucose.  Of course, no one makes tons of money admitting small animals to psych units.

I invited the doctor to try to prove bipolar disorder in court and successfully refused medication by simply saying, I don't want a movement disorder.  She discharged me after the 72 hour hold expired.

I wrote a book about that experience and it is now a textbook for Harvard, Tufts U and several other colleges.

Toddlers and senior citizens are valuable commodities for unethical psychiatrists.  There is 40 times as much bipolar disorder in the U.S. as other nations.
