-You- have to be kidding the mental health organizations -You- recommend will mean certain death for most people with mental illness because after all the man made experimentation and pain and suffering and brain washing and false hope of real recovery? The only way to end this man made suffering at the hands of mental health professionals and mental health organizations and mental health foundations etc. is for the mentally ill to commit some form of -Suicide- (Violent & Passive Etc.) to end their man made suffering? Be careful who -You- recommend it could mean certain -Death- for somebody with mental illness who follows your advice???
