Till then, I am writing this essay to expose the vile injustices going on in Australia’s mental health system.
As a consequence, I was at the mercy of Australia’s public mental health system, and that’s where all of my problems began.
What I encountered instead was a mental health system that treats patients like they are criminals.
As Australian domestic violence victim advocate Rosie Batty once said, we keep on telling victims of domestic violence everything that is “wrong with” them, but we never really tell the perpetrators what is wrong with them.
I concur: My experience in the public mental health system was akin to something from the Nazi era.
