HELP US STOP THE PSYCHIATRIC ABUSE OF WOMEN IN MENOPAUSE
The Issue
By signing this petition you have the chance to participate in changing legislation which will save millions of women's lives.
Over 1.5 million women, every year in America alone, are admitted to an emergency room, with menopausal symptoms of chronic insomnia, which creates sleep psychosis. The victims are not even given a simple blood test, to check their hormone levels, because the ER doctors have zero idea how to read them. (This also happens to women, after childbirth when their hormones collapse and sleep deprivation is a common issue).
Stripped of their dignity and given zero compassion and understanding, these women are then sedated and transported to psych wards, where they have psychiatric medication forced on them. They can be held in these facilities, against their will for months or even years. Many lives are destroyed or lost due to suicide, as women go through this abuse.
Sounds insane right? Because it is and it happens every single day. I know because it happened to me 5 times in 7 years as I went through menopause. I was also threatened with electro-shock treatment, as the experts thought this may help. They fry your brain because they do not understand your mind and hormones. This barbaric inhumane treatment has to stop.
I have written a book about my experiences called Menopause WTH! I hope by educating ourselves and others we can come together and help those women who do not have a voice and suffer in silence.
Join me in pushing for change and save lives! We stand together.
