I was fortunate to have listened to a live talk by Thomas Szasz ,some years ago at the Institute of Psychiatry. Thomas Szasz is a Quaker and wrote the book: The Myth of Mental Illness - Foundation of a Theory of Personal Conduct.
The book the Myth of Mental Illness is available on Amazon kindle and is over fifty years old.
I am a London born, English lesbian biological mother of a male child named James. I am also in a long term committed relationship with a woman. I am in full time paid employment and am the published author of the book 'Altered Perceptions'. I have a Schizoaffective disorder mental distress diagnosis and I was diagnosed with Erotomania, which is treated with a small amount of regular oral anti-psychotic medication, whilst I was a prisoner in HMP Holloway in 2009. I am responsible and active with the well being of my only biological child James who was in long term foster care with a heterosexual married couple. This was due to consequences of my mental distress experiences, and my prior single parent status.
