Nadiah

I readily confessed everything. After I told the police everything that happened and how I felt after having the baby, they sent me to a psychiatrist for a mental evaluation. I’ll admit that I did embellish a lot of the things I told them, figuring they would diagnose me as Manic Depressive. With that diagnosis, I hoped the judge would have a different opinion of me since I’d come off as the classic abuser in court. About a week after all the testing I had a hearing with the doctor, some other health people, the judge and the lawyers.

“After our evaluation we all came to the same conclusion. We initially considered Bipolar Disorder but the symptoms are inconsistent with Bipolar Disorder. The symptoms you reported are more in line with Schizophrenic Delusional Psychosis. We feel that a mental health facility would be more effective in treating you and managing your mental state.” The Psychiatrist stated.

“We have met with the prosecution and they have agreed to drop the charges if you will agree to submit yourself to the Sunny Brook Inpatient Mental Health Program for an initial period of 3 months. Your progress will be evaluated and if your illness is well managed you will be able to return home. You will have to start medication but your doses will be adjusted for continual maintenance of your condition.” My lawyer carefully explained.

“So basically, you all are saying I am crazy and I need to be committed for 3 months. I am not crazy.”

“No Ms. Allen crazy is such an ugly term. They have identified an issue that needs to be attended to in order to make you all better and they feel that Sunny Brook is the place for that.”

“Stop talking to me like I am remedial! You are my lawyer and you agreed to this? Do you think I am crazy?”

“We don’t use the term “crazy” it is so pejorative. We think you will benefit from the wonderful program that Sunny Brook is able to offer you. What you need is treatment not punishment.” My lawyer said softly while smiling at me like I was a loon.

I didn’t appreciate being spoken to in that condescending manner. I had two choices. I could either articulate my feelings to convey my extreme irritation over the mob they’d assembled against me. Or I could go off like a straight hood bitch. I chose door number two. I snatched the long legal folder my lawyer always carried in his hand and slapped him across his balding, gray haired head with it. The doctor came toward me with his hands outstretched like I needed a hug. I was especially irritated with him because he was the cause of all this. I simply grabbed him by his rubbery, chicken neck and squeezed. Seconds later two men came in and put me in a straightjacket and took me out of the room.

“Get that crazy bitch on some meds, Stat!” I heard an officer say to the doctor before the door closed.
