PSYCHIATRIC INFORMATION

Tom Cruise has brought to light one of the most dangerous problems we face today: An epidemic of mind altering drug use

This epidemic is not the street drugs you would normally associate with such a problem. It is the wide array of psychotropic drugs that have been proven to increase suicide risks and potentially cause extreme violence in the users of these drugs.

In this article on Fox News the author goes over how many experts agree with the view that psychiatric drugs like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft are dangerous. In this article the experts, Many of them credentialed psychiatrists, say things like: “clinical evidence does not justify the use of antidepressants” and “The bottom line is that we really don’t have any good evidence that these drugs work,”

How many more incidents like these have to occur before our government will act?

Tonight there is yet another senseless violent attack done by a person who had been taking psychiatric medications for depression. A Man in Brockton Mass. has shot another man four times at close range in front of dozens of witnesses, authorities said.

The victim’s baby girl was covered with blood but uninjured when police found her in a car seat on the floor of the vehicle.

The victim was in the process of getting his infant out of the car when the man, who recently began taking 2 different medications for depression, shot him.

In this recent news story it is reported that a 17 year old boy committed suicide while under the care of psychiatrists. Apparently he had been placed in the psychiatric ward for help and instead received a death sentence.

It’s no big surprise considering many psychiatric treatments have been proven to actually increase the risk of the patient committing suicide. It seems almost unreal that the people in charge of helping with mental health issues are actually making their patients worse, but none the less that is exactly what seems to be occurring.

The International Coalition for Drug Awareness and the Prozac Survivors Support Group is reporting that antidepressants are causing violent behavior in the patients who are taking them.

They are calling for immediate Federal action to warn the public about the dangers of violence caused by the side effects of these psychiatric antidepressant medications. It is widely known that these types of drugs increase the chances of a patient committing suicide by up to 3 times. In fact, the FDA already requires a special black label warning on Antidepressants like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft stating that these drugs cause an increase in suicidal thoughts and actions. Now these groups are calling for a broad campaign to warn the public against the added dangers of violent behavior caused by antidepressants.

In an insane move today the FDA has officially approved a device that is surgically implanted into a patients body to treat depression. This approval comes despite extreme controversy over whether it’s even been proven to work.

The VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) is implanted into the chest. Wires then snake up the neck to the vagus nerve The device then delivers an electric shock to the Vagus nerve which in turn sends the electric shock to the base of the brain.

The craziest part about the FDA’s approval is that the device itself hasn’t even conclusively been proven to work!
