I liked this! had some great things in it. This is a story not many people are telling, especially in the US where the drug companies have their largest customer base for psychiatric meds. I have several friends who got schiz. diagnoses in their teens and are now on cocktails of 5+ drugs each. Both suspect the drugs have made them worse. I have another friend who was on psychedelics and got misdiagnosed as psychotic. They stuck him on Haldol, which made him truly psychotic, where he was walking into people's houses and kept getting arrested and got in a lot of trouble. Eventually he found a psychiatrist who believed his story and they took him off the meds. He was fine without the Haldol. I truly think they are chemical lobotomizers. I wonder how many people have had their lives and free wills stolen by getting on these drugs. It's sad that they have turned everything, even disillusionment with the state of our society, into a diagnosis. "We've got a drug for that!" Modern life is becoming like a Philip K. Dick or Kurt Vonnegut novel. I'm glad you had the courage to make this film! Best luck in the future!
