Definitions

the long run look at the insane case shows very poor chances. His brain and nerves are damaged by excessive drugs, shock and convulsions which the "psychiatrist" introduces as "treatment." Such a case can actually only be handled under institutional conditions and then mostly to give the person rest and security. Insane cases are made. We recently tried to recall one insane case who had not become so by modern "treatment." We could not find even one insane case who had not been in psychiatric hands. So, such cases seem to be modernly made. What is called "insanity" is actually a pain crazed condition. This would normally pass off. Brutality and injury to "treat" it only confirm it and we get an apparently "insane" person. Psychiatric treatment of a person not already in a weakened depressed condition would be bad but would not result in "insanity." A pain crazed person then so treated is very hard to fish out of the mess. (LRH ED 67 INT)
