I'm diagnosed schitzoeffective and I do not believe in psychiatry. I do not agree with the concept. I need to know if they have psychiatric hospitals in Europe and if they force people to go to those places like they do here in the U.S. Do they force people to take psychiatric medication? Do they have income support for people who are diagnosed with psychiatric disabilities? I hope they don't. I have been blackmailed into taking their overly restricted financial support for the temporary but long-lasting health problems that the pills they forced down my throat and injected had caused me.

Yes, I actually live right across the St. from such a hospital. At least their entire bottom floor is dedicated to those with mental and or alcohol issues.

Sometimes at night if they have their lights on I can see naked men strapped down in their beds in the different wards. I can see 3 rooms from my window at once.

I often see police sitting near some beds, those must of been cases of violence.

The women's ward is not in my view from my flat. I can however sometimes hear the ladies screaming at 4 am before they give them something to keep them quiet.

I had a scare a month back when for the first time I heard a women screaming her head off in English. I am in Hungary so it is easy for me as a non HU speaker to turn out the screams.

This women sounded on the younger side, she kept screaming over and over again, " Let me out"!

It got to be so bad I got up at 4 am and was considering calling up either the UK or US embassy. She sounded American but I wasn't exactly sure. There had been a huge music event an international one in Budapest. She may of just had an overdoes of drugs.

After 15 mins of her screaming" Let me Out" she finally got quiet and I went back to sleep. A week later I recognized the same voice screaming and that really did frighten me some.

I was going to let it go just one more time before calling up any embassy to see if someone was in serious terrible but it stopped. No noise for a month now.

I personally would rather have a "freak out" home in the US then in a strange country.

Yes; everywhere has psychiatry. And most counties have the ability to section people with significant mental health issues.

You wouldn't be eligible to move without significant qualifications and experience valid for work visa experience, or a European spouse. Not liking your healthcare isn't a valid reason.

Yes. Whether or not you agree with psychiatry it exists, and developed nations do what is necessary to ensure that the severely mentally ill are treated.

Of course there are many mental clinics and hospitals. You might have even heard that a doctor named Freud

was European

In Europe, people with psychiatric afflictions are INVOLUNTARILY committed...

Of course we have.
