"My name is Friday. I carry a badge....Becky,<br /><br />"My name is Friday. I carry a badge."<br /><br />Oh, how funny!<br /><br />Hey, I remember those old shows. <br />(I'm a very young 54)...<br /><br />"One Adam 12, One Adam 12"...<br /><br />And what about the wisdom of Sherrif Taylor of Mayberry RFD... He used to lock up the local town drunk overnight, and when he slept it off, he could reach through the bars, get the key, and let himself out.<br /><br />We could use a few more like Sheriff Taylor in the mental health system. A little human decency, mixed with some common sense would go a long, long way in this broken system!<br /><br />I remember the episode when Gomer Pyle puts a 'Citizen's Arrest' on Deputy Barney Fife -<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9efgLHgsBmM<br /><br />Too bad it wouldn't work with a few child psychiatrists, huh?<br /><br />Duane SherryDuane Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482281700165504817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230487848972452142.post-82344210526554760252011-03-05T19:56:51.787-08:002011-03-05T19:56:51.787-08:00Duane,

It would be marvelous if the Huff Post gave anyone who can think critically and report on "mental illness" just like any other illness...lol Jaffe doesn't seem to be able to think his way out of a wet paper bag. <br /><br />I appreciate your enthusiastic support!<br /><br />BeckyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04985667747299418582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230487848972452142.post-75183082346489520712011-03-04T16:31:55.713-08:002011-03-04T16:31:55.713-08:00Becky,

Jaffe and the other "advocates" out there - "Do the math" !<br /><br />Duane Sherry, M.S.<br />discoverandrecover.wordpress.comDuane Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482281700165504817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230487848972452142.post-84658037859468028932011-03-04T16:26:17.785-08:002011-03-04T16:26:17.785-08:00Becky,

Jaffe removed several of my comments from his Huffington Post articles.<br /><br />They were each approved for several weeks, on a number of posts (probably five or so), then they just disappeared.<br /><br />I pointed out that the statistics used by the Treatment Advocacy Center (TAC) were incorrect.<br /><br />The TAC website states the suicide rate in the United States is one percent, and ten percent for people with "bipolar disoder."<br /><br />I explained that these statistics were way off. The suicide rate in the U.S. is actually about 1/100th of one percent. <br /><br />And if each and every suicide in the U.S. was committed by a person with "bipolar" disorder, the "bipolar" population would still consist of a group of 99 PLUS percent who do NOT committ suicide!<br /><br />If TAC could prove that the suicide rate for the "bipolar" population was 10 times the national average, there would be 99.9 percent of people who have been given this diagnosis who do not kill themselves!<br /><br />So, the 99 PLUS percent is a fact... the only question would be (unfortunately), what the PLUS part of the equation is... it is probably as high as 99.95 percent or higher, of people who do NOT kill themselves.<br /><br />Their statistics are outrageous!<br /><br />Give D.J. Jaffe the facts on his Huffington Post blog, and watch your comments disappear!<br /><br />Duane Sherry<br />discoverandrecover.wordpress.comDuane Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482281700165504817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230487848972452142.post-67022505325553608002011-03-04T13:10:48.297-08:002011-03-04T13:10:48.297-08:00Becky; you go!
