Making psychiatry safe:

Many people feel unsafe seeking mental health care because of psychiatry’s long history of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Psychiatry has harmed entire groups of people with its bias towards eurocentrism, heteronormativity, and cisnormativity. People of color were disproportionately institutionalized, women were subjected to lobotomies and involuntary hysterectomies, and homosexuality was listed as a sociopathic disorder in the DSM until the 1970s. Understandably, this history has left many with deep mistrust of the system, and some of my patients carry profound psychiatric trauma from past experiences. I believe in working toward the decolonization of psychiatry - ending the eurocentric bias and pathologization of individuals making alternative life choices
