I found this to be a very sad story. Sure, he had some issues, but I
don't think they needed to drug him, and take all that he had

"All that he had learned" meaning his delusions and psychoses?
Indeed. If a revelation is unconnected to reality, it's misleading to
say that one has "learned" it.
And who is the last arbiter on that 'reality'?
A nice academic question. Not appropriate when we're discussing a real
person's psychotic episodes. Neither you nor I are experts in whether an
experience is psychosis, and the person already has an expert diagnosis.
So please don't de-rail into the weeds of second-guessing an expert in
mental health. Unless you know the person's mental health better than
their doctor (and you do not), don't second-guess the diagnosis they
received.
I think for the most part, the mental health industry is most
interested in pushing drugs and forcing people into some status quo.
I am disgusted by your comments. I'll keep my original reply in reserve.
