This is what Ortiz wrote, taken from the www.ex-iwp.org site:

Social therapy does absolutely nothing to cure (or properly treat) people with mental illness. I've since been diagnosed as bipolar on the lower spectrum, which means that my mood swings rarely include the ""fun"" (euphoric) aspects of manic depression. Another former patient once said that social therapy encourages, if not engenders, such mania (and obsessive impulses), and I agree. I certainly felt rapture during therapy sessions and in the presence of Fred Newman-for a while.

If you have a problem with what Ortiz posts on her site, maybe you shouldnt include it as a link.  "
