Poetry Before Bedlam: Poetry and Writings

By Marilyn Welton and William Jeffrey Welton

The medical model of psychiatry began blooming in the 1990s, a period called the Decade of the Brain, unleashing the havoc of prescribed psychiatric medications, with mental health courts forcing too many people to take mind-altering drugs. This practice stole the lives and minds of individuals of all ages and destroyed countless families.

Jeff entered the psychiatric system in 1990. He did not have mental illness; he had three metabolic illnesses that affect the brain: hypoglycemia, type 2 diabetes, and acute intermittent porphyria. Jeff was found dead at age fifty-four, on July 1, 2023. Psychiatric medications only ever made him worse.

There were no tests to prove the validity of mental illness. Mental illnesses were voted into being at APA conferences. Only symptoms were treated, and the only treatment was drugs. It is only now that more validity is attached to a diagnosis of "mental illness" because of recent scientific metabolic research.
