Brainwashed in psychiatric hospital
Posted: Sun Jun 05, 2016 4:05 pm
If I tell people, I’ve been tortured in 2005 for half a year in a psychiatric hospital; they do not believe me, because it’s not in the newspapers.
I have lodged an official complaint against the 4 state psychiatrists of Mentrum that were responsible for this abuse; the judges in first instance and appeal decided these psychiatrists acted according to the medical regulation in the Netherlands. The decisions of these courts have been published (in Dutch), but conceal important facts, while components of my complaint were not even judged. My most important conclusion is that I can never function at my old level again because of being poisoned with psychiatric drugs.
This story has nothing to do with health care but is really a legal description. It’s based on my original complaint that in turn was founded on violations of the Wet BOPZ (this is the law in the Netherlands for forced psychiatric treatment). I’ve tried to make it readable by only writing down the most important facts, while I’ve added some interesting facts not in the complaint (and some of which I cannot prove).
I’ve good reason to think that treatment of psychiatric patients in the whole “civilised” world (Europe and North America) is similar, while I saw also the other patients/prisoners were more or less tortured into obedience. The only way I could escape from psychiatry was by acting like I was brainwashed (although part of the brainswashing was probably more succesful than I admit).
Burnout
In the summer of 2003 ABN AMRO bank (my employer ) started a reorganisation to get rid of employees as cheap as possible (formally the law in the Netherlands protects the personnel), because they wanted to outsource the activities to TCS in India (component of Tata Group). On September 1, 2005 (when the reorganisation had already been finished) the outsourcing was made public: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4204174.stm
In September 2003 I had to work in 6 ICT-projects in 3 different functions simultaneously. In December 2003 “colleagues” brought thea enriched with toxic . Examples of harassments: stealing my wallet, middle fingers, throwing a cup of coffee over my clothes, yelling, intimidations, calling names and a reprimand. As from the beginning of February 2004 the office building was already deserted. On March 1 I refused to go to work anymore and was fired. In 2004 the government repeatedly broke into my house while I was out (I have proof that both Mentrum and ABN AMRO entered my house). From my tap came poisoned water and in supermarkets they sold me toxic drinks, as a result of which I had to spit terribly for literally hundreds of times a day. As from May 2004 Mentrum made monthly house visits with a large group. If they rang my doorbell I opened the window on the third floor and shouted that I didn´t want to speak to them.
On December 22, 2004 psychiatrist T. contacted ABN AMRO, which told him I had to be locked up ASAP. On December 27 psychiatrist T. established (without personally examining me) that I am dangerous as a result of the mental disorders: schizophrenia, syndrome of Asperger and psychotic; with the dangers: social destruction and setting my apartment on fire. On January 27, 2005 they convicted me to forced psychiatric treatment for 3 months (I wasn’t even informed of the trial). The attorney who had been assigned to me (Mr. J.D. van der Heijden) pleaded that I must be treated, because he hadn´t spoken me. That evening the police broke down my door, sprayed pepper spray in my eyes, before locking me up.
Brainwashing – January 27 till July 18, 2005
From January 28 up to February 24, 2005 I was kept in isolation. Three times a complete team of some 15 cops of the riot squad in full battle gear was used against me that injected me with drugs. In the isolation cell there was no toilet or running water. I protested against this treatment by stopping to talk and a hunger strike (I lost some 60 pounds of weight). From the time I was locked up the spitting (because of poisoned drinks) abruptly stopped.
On March 10 the psychiatrist and Doctor-director (Geneesheer-Directeur) asked for authorisation for coerced antipsychotics. On March 17 I lodged a complaint with the help of the “PVP” concerning isolating me and forced antipsychotics, this was the last time I ever saw the PVP (the PVP is a specialist to help psychiatric patients lodge complaints). On March 23 they injected me with antipsychotics (Zyprexa), with the effects sleepy, no energy and insomnia. On April 4 my complaint was treated orally by the “independent” complaint committee. Psychiatrist B. told that the antipsychotics worked really well and I had been kept in isolation because I appeared to be “charged”. The complaint committee judged that the isolation had been unnecessarily long (complaint component founded), but that although coercion antipsychotics is dubious at best, this complaint component cannot be granted. Also the complaint committee observed Mentrum had falsely written in my medical file that I was isolated until February 22 (instead of February 24), but this is irrelevant for the complaint. Because I had been injected with long working depot medication there was no need to decide yet if I should be coerced to antipsychotics again. On April 4 and 21 they injected me again. These facts have been completely ignored.
As from mid-March I acted just as “normal” as the average person walking the street, but on March 22 a new medical declaration was established (probably with diagnosis schizophrenia) to prolong the forced psychiatric treatment (the complaint committee established that no diagnosis had been finalised).
It was terrible to have absolutely nothing to do, there were some 5 hours organised activities all week. On April 8 for the first time I was allowed outside the hospital (for a maximum half an hour a day) and from April 19 I could take a walk outside whenever I wanted (I just needed to ask permission).
On April 27 the legal authorisation to keep me locked up was finished. When I rang the attorney, he said he could do nothing for me.
At the beginning of May I offered to swallow the antipsychotics “voluntarily” (so I could stop when I would return to my apartment). I was pressured to change to Risperdal (Riperidon, 4 mg daily). This had even more terrible effects: fever, Parkinson, no energy, impotence, incontinence, sleepy, lack of control over bodily movements, blurred eyesight, etc. For Parkinson I got Akineton (Biperiden), which made me demented.
On May 18 was the court day at the higher Court (Gerechtshof) concerning the new legal authorisation for forced psychiatric treatment. My attorney argued I had be locked up, because I suffer from a mentally disorder, what is clear from that I think the treatment is a violation of my constitutional rights. The judge emphasised I had to be locked up, because: normal people do not stop working without a reason. The court of appeal ruled on May 20 to another year of forced treatment.
In June 2005 I went to another part of the psychiatric hospital, where in principle I could leave the clinic without asking for permission. By now I had serious mental and physical problems because of the psychiatric drugs. Up to July 17, 2005 I had to stay in the psychiatric hospital; on returning to my apartment I abruptly stopped taking the antipsychotics. It took until April 2006 before I could function at an adequate level again. While I could live independently again, I had to participate in the daily treatment program on another location, with a lot of talking groups where they said that good people: don’t cause trouble, listen to the psychiatrist and take their drugs.
On October 12 and14 I was finally examined by an “independent” psychiatrist (If I possibly suffer from either schizophrenia or autism). The test consisted of some 50 multiple choice questions and some 10 drawings that I had to describe. They concluded conclusively that there were no signs of schizophrenia or autism. Because this was not the desired result: Mentrum took up to November 11 to conclude that because I’m able to disguise my mental disease in a subtle manner, I could still be narcistic and it was really important to keep me on the antipsychotics for a long time (obviously the risk was high I could escape from the claws of psychiatry).
As from June 6, 2006 I had a normal job in ICT again (university level). Only then the new psychiatrist gave me permission to taper off Risperdal (I had already stopped for 10 ½ months).
Medical complaint
On August 5, 2014 I lodged a complaint against the 4 psychiatrists responsible for torturing me from February till June 2005. In first instance the RTG of Amsterdam ruled that the complaints were unfounded and this was reaffirmed in appeal by the CTG of The Hague. Both the RTG and CTG have ignored important facts and ignored some of the 14 components of the complaint. The 4 decisions of the CTG of May 26, 2016 have been made public (in Dutch); this is the most interesting one: http://tuchtrecht.overheid.nl/nieuw/...GZCTG_2016_198
Part 1 – not informing me about my rights: I should have been informed about my rights.
Part 2 – lies in medical file: They lied that I was separated up to February 22, 2005 (instead of: February 24).
Part 3 – improper treatment complaint / not suspending coerced medication: They never sent me the decision of April 4 on my complaint. After lodging the complaint on March 17 coerced medication should have been suspended, instead I was injected on March 23.
Part 4 – no access to PVP: After lodging my complaint I never saw the PVP again.
Part 5 – unlawfully keeping me isolated / limiting freedom to move: According to the Wet BOPZ I have the right to move freely in- and outside the psychiatric hospital, whereas I was only allowed this freedom from April 19 on. There was no reason to isolate me.
Part 6 – no treatment plan: They never even discussed the treatment or showed me a treatment plan (aimed at preventing social destruction?). This is a criminal offence.
Part 7 – medical statement with lies: By lying that I was a schizophrenic, the psychiatrists misled the court in order to keep torturing me. Later several psychiatrists confirmed that I am not schizophrenic, for example on November 11, 2005. This evidence has been completely ignored by the courts.
Part 8 – medical statement by a not independent psychiatrist: A medical declaration can only be established by an independent psychiatrist.
Part 9 – locked up without legal basis during 24 days: On April 27 the legal authorisation for 3 months forced psychiatric treatment had expired and just on May 20 this was extended for another year. I was locked up without legal grounds from April 27 up to May 20 (24 days). This is a criminal offence.
Part 10 – no communication: The psychiatrists had the duty to inform me. The communication was extremely bad.
Part 11 – poisoning with drugs: The known “side” effects of Risperdal and Zyprexa prove that the treatment was not aimed at diminishing the danger of social destruction because of a mental disorder. These drugs are not intended for someone who suffers from burnout, thus administering these drugs was poisoning. After giving me Risperdal the effects were even worse (than of Zyprexa), thus should have been immediately stopped.
Part 12, 13 – crimes against humanity / torturing; Making me crazy: The period in the isolation cell from January 27 up to February 24 is torture. This isolation cell did not even meet the minimum legal requirements: no toilet or a curtain to shield me from the cameras. Poisoning with drugs with only negative effects (among which a shorter life expectancy), is torture. Locking me up without legal grounds from April 27 up to May 20 is a crime against humanity.
Part 14 – violating medical responsibility: There was no treatment whatsoever. The prisoner must at least have the possibility for some activities, or they become crazy from boredom. Even the meals were too little.
Complaint components 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13 and 14 have not been assessed yet. All of the following articles of the Wet BOPZ were violated (not even considering the Hippocratic Oath): 5, 14a, 17, 37, 38, 38a, 38b, 38c, 40, 40a, 41, 48 and 59.
The trial in the complaint
Just after lodging my complaint, I received the report of November 11, 2005 (that proves I’m not schizophrenic or autistic), I submitted these on October 1, 2014; on October 2 this was refused. On December 8 I submitted the report for the 4th time; only on December 23 the reception was confirmed (this important evidence is missing from the judgements).
Only on August 25, 2015 the judgement of the RTG (dated July 1) on my complaint was sent. This should’ve been sent within 1 week (art. 72 Wet BIG). The RTG had not only concealed important facts, but even adapted the description of my complaint and didn´t assess several complaint components. On October 2 I lodged an appeal with the CTG.
On March 22, 2016 was the trial date at the CTG. Only On May 26 the CTG ruled against my appeal, which should have been within 2 months (art. 83 Wet BIG). The CTG also concealed important facts and did not assess all complaint components. The only part of the complaint the CTG pronounced judgement on was me being locked up without legal grounds, for which it simply invented that I was locked up with my consent (this was not even claimed by the psychiatrists). From art. 48 Wet BOPZ it appears that patients are only locked up voluntarily if they express their willingness explicitly (which I never did).
Mentrum hasn´t sent my medical file still, whereas the RTG had to the duty to investigate my complaint thoroughly (art. 66 Wet BIG).
Mentrum repeatedly burgled my house, to steal and replace evidence.
From November 2010 on my name was published several times about me being locked up long-term in a psychiatric hospital for a grave mental disorder. Because of this I cannot even get a decent job anymore.
I can still petition to the Procurator-General of the Supreme Court (Procureur-Generaal van de Hoge Raad) to reassess the complaint against the psychiatrists. As for now I have definite proof that in the Kingdom of Netherlands systematically psychiatrists torture political prisoners with complicity of judges, attorneys and journalists.
I have lodged an official complaint against the 4 state psychiatrists of Mentrum that were responsible for this abuse; the judges in first instance and appeal decided these psychiatrists acted according to the medical regulation in the Netherlands. The decisions of these courts have been published (in Dutch), but conceal important facts, while components of my complaint were not even judged.
