I would like to thank you for your amazing and generous effort in having and keeping up this blog. This is easily the most comprehensive critical blog available on the state of mental health in the United States and not a few other countries. Its critique of the way in which mental health is approached in mainstream medicine and psychiatry is invaluable and so is the wealth of alternative views and resources you offer to your readers. I know that you are terribly sick because of the brain injury caused by bad and excessive medicating by unscrupulous psychiatrists, and while this truly validates your presence on the net and what you report, it also gives me cause to admire you for your perseverance in your effort to bring justice and sanity to the truly insane world of mainstream mental health. I regularly use your blog in my classes on mental illness and psychiatry and my students have learned much because of you. Again, thank you, and good luck.
