New York Psychiatrist Listed as Leading Mental Health Human Rights Abuser

Onondaga County in Central New York state has been striving to be recognized as a decent family oriented community for decades. Now many residents of this environmentally pleasing region of New York state are disturbed about concerns by human rights groups that this county now ranks at the top of the list of mental health care human rights abuser counties in the world. This clearly is not good for desires to attract investments to this community which it needs to flourish. The heated tensions in this regard began about a year ago when a clearly dangerously elitist psychiatrist at the University Medical Center in Syracuse, Dr Manring, chose to uphold the blatant injustices of a 20 year old mental health care abuse case against a New York state licensed physician which occurred in Texas and upheld the blacklist of Dr Harold Mandel instead of opening up investigations of this case and the associated abuses. Clearly, it is irregular for a New York state licensed physician and native of Pennsylvania who is a member of Phi Beta Kappa from Dickinson College and who has earned honors in the study of psychology and psychiatry and who has a clean criminal record to have been lured to Texas to be kidnapped, beaten, drugged and hit with an intentional misdiagnosis of bipolar disorder with a swift, fixed civil court proceeding ordering 90 days of outpatient treatment used to legalize this tyranny. People who are said to be suffering from bipolar disorder are said to run around in public naked, get involved in credit card fraud schemes, pass bad bank checks, set up frivolous business deals, engage in illegal, risky and excessive sex, gamble heavily and drive their cars recklessly at high speeds among other unusual behaviors all of which this region of New York state has had over a year to see that Dr Harold Mandel does not engage in. And so as a reformist in mental health care as he has always been Dr Mandel figured Dr Manring's department would therefore be the perfect department for him to specialize in psychiatry himself since this is where the well known elderly anti-psychiatry psychiatrist, Dr Szasz, is an emeritus professor. Yet, Dr Manring was rude to Dr Harold Mandel about this interest and dealt with him as if he was a high school drop out when he sent him a short e-mail telling him not to bother applying to the program. The president of the medical center thereafter ignored requests for an investigation of this matter. Now the people in this region of New York are feeling uncomfortable seeing someone with these credentials often searching for lousy jobs just to help pay the bills to help raise his two young kids and to help his immigrant wife from Vietnam out. Dr Mandel, who has developed a following on the Internet for his natural health care interests, nevertheless has always been poor and needed this job to help his family rise out of the ashes of painful poverty. The poverty which Dr Harold Mandel and his family are being subjected to also has New Yorkers uncomfortable with concerns about what horrible things could someday happen to Dr Mandel and his family if the blacklist of his interests is not lifted. This case appears to imply there is no real acceptance of mental health care reforms among the elitist psychiatrists and the orthodox medical community with Dr Mandel now questioning if perhaps Dr Szasz has been a fraud just working to make a name for himself as a psychiatrist over the course of his career. Sadly, the US Attorney Generals office and FBI clearly support this elitism in American mental health care and do not want  a poor doctor competing with the radical ideas the experiences with poverty creates as requests for investigations of all of this have been ignored by the US Department of Justice for years. Dr Harold Mandel has therefore joined the growing abolition of psychiatry movement after discovering from notes from friends on Facebook, MySpace and elsewhere on the Internet that scores of people feel psychiatry has become an abusive and corrupt discipline. Dr Harold Mandel, who still does not have enough money for his own office or clinic has founded "The Harold Mandel, MD Natural Mental Health Care Reform Foundation" to help fight such human rights abuses.
