Do not interact if you are anti psychology/psychiatry . . .

Critical psychology/Psych critical is welcome. You are welcome to be critical of the system and want it to change, the creator of this bundlrs is too. But wanting it to end all together is harmful.

I understand the original meaning behind "anti psychology" is essentially the meaning of "psych critical", which is why I made this, because I saw some people who were genuinely anti psychology and stole the term, which sucks, you shouldn't need to separate the two, but people ruined it . . .

Before the internet existed at all, the anti-psychiatry (sometimes known as anti-psychology) movement was created in the 1960s to combat harmful treatment strategies and other ideas, today, the field has long since moved past what anti-psychiatry was built against. ¹ While the field is still much newer than many other scientific fields, and will continue to improve with more research and time, there is more good being done than bad at this time.

If you would like to report medical mistreatment or malpractice, that is an entirely different, but serious matter. Please contact one of your local authorities or a lawyer for help. If you do not think therapy works for you, remember that you must be open to it and want the help for it to be effective, and that you will not click with every therapist or every medication you take. Remember that just because something did not work for you does not mean it is not helpful for others. The field is not perfect and likely never will be, but we want to help. You matter, your concerns matter, but the entire field does not need to go down for things to get better.
