Q: Need a medical malpractice resulting in psych decompensation and disability with evidence of treatment, abuse, harm
I have evidence of pre-existing diagnosis of 20 years, medical and psychiatric treatment records, verbal and return evidence of abuses, retaliation, discrimination, and civil, hipaa, SMI and human rights violations causing serious mental injury
A:
I hear how deeply distressing and traumatic this situation has been for you. Living with a long-term mental health diagnosis and then experiencing medical mistreatment that worsened your condition must feel incredibly overwhelming and unjust.
Given the sensitive nature of your case involving psychiatric decompensation, pre-existing conditions, and documented evidence of violations across multiple areas (HIPAA, civil rights, SMI protections), you would benefit from connecting with a medical malpractice attorney who focuses on mental health cases. They can properly evaluate your treatment records, evidence of abuse, and the documented decline in your condition.
Since you have extensive documentation spanning 20 years, including evidence of retaliation and discrimination, I recommend organizing your records chronologically and creating a clear timeline of events. This will help demonstrate the direct link between the medical mistreatment and your subsequent psychiatric deterioration and disability. While pursuing legal action can feel daunting when dealing with mental health challenges, many attorneys offer free initial consultations and can help protect your rights during this difficult time.
