Canadian legal issue

[cbg]

No, I can honestly say that I have never heard of this happening to anyone before.

 

[Bali Hai Again]

Oh well. The more informal question could be answered though - has anyone heard of this happening to anyone before (assuming my story is not actually a delusion)?

Yes, I have heard about being drugged up and paranoid happening to people.

I imagine if it does actually involve significant state cooperation most people don't live to tell the tale (that's somewhat dramatic). And the frequency rate is probably pretty low overall.

It took me a while to even accept that the whole thing taken together was actually occurring, because it seems so insane.

Of course that happens in general, but this degree of coordination and complexity is not something I've ever heard of.

In the U.S., you could run into a statute of limitations problem trying to pursue a legal action over something that happened several years ago. You saw a psychiatrist at that time. Perhaps it is time to see another psychiatrist now, in whatever area of Canada you currently reside.

Again, this site handles U.S. laws and U.S. legal concerns only. And even if you lived in the U.S., this forum would be unable to assist you. Your needs exceed the scope of what we offer.

Good luck.

Yeah it's not a psychiatric issue. Anyways it was worth a shot. Cheers.

Yup. It was worth a shot.

Cheers.

In order to have any real shot of success against outside entities, you'll likely need confirmation of this. You will want to see a local psychiatrict professional for a full evaluation. When that evaluation shows that you are not have some sort of psychiatric issue, you will be taken more seriously when seeking legal assistance

What exactly do you mean by "outside entities"?

Yeah I've already tried issuing complaints regarding the diagnosis but to no avail. Unfortunately they hold all the cards and are obviously not going to want to admit they did wrong. The few lawyers I spoke to said that retaining a private psychiatrist is expensive enough to make pursuing a malpractice suit prohibitive (that's just malpractice though, not taking into account any of the other stuff).

The last doctor I saw discharged me completely of his own volition, which is not something you'd typically do with a diagnosed schizophrenic, and the doctor who did initially diagnose me even admitted I didn't meet the DSM criteria. As for a formal reneging of a diagnosis I'm not sure there is even a proper process for that.

Jeremiah, there are only two possibilities. Either you are delusional, or you are not.

If you are, you need to be under a psychiatrist's care.

If you are not, a CURRENT evaluation by a psychiatrist stating that you are NOT delusional will be needed before any law enforcement will take you seriously.

Either way, it benefits you to have a mental health evaluation NOW. Even if you've had one before.

That logic makes sense in principle, but I don't think psychiatrists ever really meet with someone to issue a negative statement or renege a prior diagnosis. And even if they did do that, I'm not sure I'd want to take the risk given the incompetence and corruption I've already seen.

Well, then, there's nothing else we can tell you. Particularly, as has already been said, US law and Canadian law are not the same, are not as close as you appear to believe, and our only Canadian expert does not work in this kind of law.

Well thanks for the attempt I guess. Not really sure what I'm going to do about this. Oh, and I realize now that some of my earlier responses probably came across as curt or dismissive, that wasn't intentional.

Anyways, best watch yourself, the world's become a crazy place.
