Recently I came across an article that spoke of a woman story who was denied entrance into the US based on a suicide attempt she made in her home in Canada. Apparently homeland security shares mental health records with Canada.
The reason why I asked is because today is sort of a pivotal day for me. It is my birthday and for the first time (except for one other time many years ago when I got away from my family) I told my family I do not to spend my birthday with them. To be truthful I am marking my escape and plan on maybe doing some traveling again. I have already gotten away from them to western Europe in 1999 ( I live in the US) but ran out of money. Is there an international mental health database I should be worried about? I have already ruled Canada as an option which sucks because I wanted to go there.
And I would not be surprised if America has a holocaust and rounds us up first ( just like Hitler did) at the current political climate.
It would be interesting to know how this homeland security can access all private mental health records that are kept by various private mental health institutions in America and how they can share this private information with others such as Canadians whom they can not control.
@mhseu I was not one in favor of electronic medical records. My primary care physician can now tell what the latest notes are from my mental health providers. These are separate institutions.
I don’t think it’s a worldwide problem. I’m a Canadian schizophrenic and I’ve spent some time in Finland.
I had this delusion when i was in the hospital. I thought it started when I was taken in and I was the trigger. The U.S. Government is not evil. A little corrupted by big business and the gop. And the fed and Wall Street. Really though they want to keep the machine running as it is…
Wouldn’t worry about it to much, good research will show it safe. There are some incidences which are out of line, but there is no conspiracy or plan.
@BryanAshley Although I have lost my faith in humanity I still have it in the almighty and perhaps others who may be here.
And I guess its not entirely true, I know there are still good people out there.
Really governments need to working on ways to encourage the reduction of the cost of living and make education more accessible. I think that would drastically reduce crime. Unfortunately housing costs and tuition are always on the rise.
@BryanAshley Unfortunately they say greed is a human characteristic.
Things are different here where I am. Even though my mental health unit and a physician are in the same building, this physician can not access mental health notes, but can have still a listing of psych meds, because all med prescriptions are in the same database.
@mjseu I believe you are correct in that, I guess I meant meds and just assumed everything else was there. Still I don’t like it though. It makes me paranoid being treated like this.
I don’t believe that. It just gives those schmucks an excuse.
Yet another example of why I never was formally diagnosed.
And yes they are evil (you know who) right when I moved from Alaska the government was using Alaska as a testing ground for their plan on taking all our guns away so we can’t defend ourselves.
They went to all the gun stores in the state and kindly asked them for their customer background.
Apparently when you buy a gun the federal form you have to fill out asks you to list ALL the guns that you own so they have your address and know exactly how many guns that you have at that address.
But I guess the owner of the store holds on to the hard copy of this and just calls your name in.
Well the feds went around trying to get this info from the store owners and when they refused to give it because its against the law to give that to anybody even the government the government stopped all ammunition delivery to the whole state so they had guns but no bullets so the were essentially useless they will do this to the entire country literally any day now and they will use the recent gun incidents as a excuse.
If they can do that they can strong arm docs for their records .
As a matter of fact they DID strong arm docs into not giving medical marijuana permits by saying they will revoke there medical license.
I think you are correct they just might round us up but not for the same reason the Nazi’s did ya know eugenics but because a lot of sz people are right on the mark with government paranoia and people that don’t know that they have sz will follow them.
@petester I have mixed feelings on this topic. They have given me no reason for me to believe they mean us harm.
I think there are some very evil people out there who definitely have an agenda.
@petester However when you have the president of the NRA referring to us (the mentally ill) as “monsters”, the concerns me. You wouldn’t round up all the sane people because a majority of the shootings were commited by sane people, would. Oh wait, the majority of shooting are commited by sane people.
@petester I agree, I wish I was roaming around without a mental health record. We are too ridiculed.
I’m thinking about leaving the US more and more these days. Things just seem to be going to garbage here. Do you know how many people have been shot dead by police in the UK over the past 4 years? Like 5 people. In the US it’s like 1600 something.
The education system is going more and more to crap as this new core system is implemented, kids are penalized for not learning “the right way” and doing things the way the state wants. It’s all about conformity instead of learning.
Not to mention the debt issue that’s being ignored, the fact that my dad is having over half of his paycheck taken by the gov already and now they want more, more people are in prisons than in higher education, etc. What is this place turning into?? Not something I can be proud of anymore.
@Anna I keep thinking where do I go. So many countries are so much worse then as far as mental health goes. In some places you can still commit family members and lobotomies are preformed. So countries have voluntary euthanasia for the mentally ill. I feel so trapped.
The Purge is the only solution.
