Please explain to me what "relationship" means in:
"Unfortunately, some patients who identify with being harmed by psychiatry have given up on finding that kind of relationship and instead attempt to find meaning in identity as an injured party." /1 https://www.medpagetoday.com/psychiatry/generalpsychiatry/88526

I think "give up on finding that kind of relationship" may mean: "stopped deferring to the expertise of #psychiatrists in defining their reality". A crime, apparently. Also disregards that if a patient is injured, it's not an identity, it's a fact, not to be "negotiated" away. /2
This further suggests authors of this article believe injured patients are willingly injured -- perhaps somaticizing? -- rather than being the unwilling victims of an accident of fate brought on by #psychiatric treatment, which is known even by #psychiatrists to have pitfalls. /3
But the authors seem to think if the injured patient only sought #psychiatric treatment again, the injury could be "negotiated" into something (not specified) that wasn't an injury. This despite many injured patients having sought such care an found nobody knew anything. /4
This article is pretty much an admission that 1) doctors don't have a clue about iatrogenic injury from #psychiatric treatment; 2) since they can't figure it out, must be something wrong with the patient; 3) patients should STFU about it already.
A losing hand, by the way. /5

Denial of injury can work for years, but ultimately it catches up with medicine. Just ask the pelvic mesh patients.
And when iatrogenic injury catches up with #psychiatric treatment, millions of people will be very angry. Every prescriber will face furious patients. /6
