mkay, off the top of my head, i'd do a 4 point structure plan?

So point 1 - why Freedom in patients is good, useful, and back this up with THomas Szas's findings/research

point 2 - why psychiatry is good and useful - back this up with some research (not necesarrily Thomas Szas's)

Point 3 - Disadvantages of freedom for patients, and again backup with evidence

Point 4 - The disadvatnages of psychiatry for patients with yet again, more evidence


I hope that helps? it's what i'd do. and you could do average of 750 words per paragraph. shazam.

thats great thank you, just one more thing how can i then steer this towards answering the question of how mental illness is a myth rather than the freedom bit which will only be a fraction that i will refer to
