Ernest Hemingway killed himself, after a course of ECT. He was given ECT because he got into the hands of psychiatry and they thought he was paranoid because he was saying the FBI was surveilling him. It turns out the FBI was, indeed surveilling him. Given I see how often psychiatry and medicine gaslight all of us who've been injured by psych drugs and disbelieve pretty much anything we might say about our experience, this story is poignant. I like to make it clear that in cases such as these, psychiatry is guilty of murder. Hemingway died at the hands of psychiatry, as many people I know have. Unfortunately some people will only pay attention when a story like this is told. It's then a tiny chip in the fabric of delusion that our society operates under. (excerpt by Bruce Levine follows)
