PSYCHIATRIC INFORMATION

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.

Psychiatrists in Australia have a unique way of getting new patients. Apparently a loophole in Australian Immigration law permits them to forcibly commit some immigrants where over half of them are drugged with powerful mind altering psychiatric drugs.

Amnesty International is reporting that Australia’s mandatory detention continues to inflict psychological damage on detained immigrants. It cites the case of Peter Qasim, Australia’s longest-serving immigration detainee, who was committed to an Adelaide psychiatric hospital after almost seven years in detention.

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.

The LA Times reports that the Napa Valley State Psychiatric hospital “fails to protect it’s 1,100 patients from harm”.

One patient choked another violently to death. Another killed himself after being left isolated in their room for more than 4 hours. The report also alleges that patients overdosed on amphetamines and cocaine while in treatment at the hospital while another was found to be taking heroin. It was also found that the hospital regularly wrongly medicated its patients.

It was also reported that the California state department of mental health was refusing to cooperate with Federal investigators potentially trying to hide this damning evidence that their system is harming patients instead of helping them.

In this article about the psychiatry kills museum tells about the frightful history of psychiatry and it’s brutal “treatments”.

Psychiatry was born out of German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt’s “experimental psychology.” He insisted man was but an animal with no soul. From there it only got worse: From torture-like restraint devices, to horrific brain surgeries like the lobotomy and electric shock treatments, psychiatry has a brutal history of doing nothing but harm to it’s patients

This shocking article exposes “Teen Screen”, a new government psychiatric program designed to screen children for psychiatric disorders.

Apparently, in many cases with no parental consent, kids as young as nine years old are tricked into a suicide screening test by being bribed with movie tickets if they perform the test. After being asked a series of nonsensical questions it is determined if they have some type of psychiatric disorder. Which disorder will they be labeled with? Well, take your pick: Depression? Social Phobia? Panic Disorder? Anxiety? Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Active Suicide Ideation? Passive Suicide Ideation? Your guess is as good as mine.

In another display of psychiatric failure a Michigan teen is being charged with attempted murder after stabbing a woman 6 times.

The teen was under treatment for Bipolar Disorder which often involves prescriptions of psychiatric medications that are reported to cause increased risk for suicide and violence. It’s still amazing to me that parents allow their children to be harmed by psychiatric drugs and therapies even though there is an incredible amount of information showing that they are a failure.

When will the world wake up and see what is plainly in front of their eyes: Psychiatric drugs are dangerous. In my opinion should be banned.

Demonstrating yet another devastating failure of psychiatry this story about a 13 year old boy who kills himself after using antidepressant medications like the ones recently labeled by the FDA as causing an increase in suicidal thoughts and behavior. Far beyond a simple failure, this young boys psychiatric treatment probably killed him.

Guess what the local health center’s answer to this child drugging problem is? Hire a psychiatrist on staff to prescribe more of these drugs to even more children!

Not only has the FDA issued a warning that adults have increased risks for suicide, but doctors are speaking out against the irresponsible statements of Brook Shields who advocates psychiatric drugs for Post Partum Depression.

The article linked to above shows that many doctors feel that Post Partum Depression is not a psychiatric brain disorder, but in fact a result of problems within other areas of the body. Some examples she gave for proper treatments were: “Blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, low adrenal gland function, thyroid imbalance and copper and zinc deficiencies should all be tested for. The last thing you need is an antidepressant masking or messing with this.”

This report on illegal prescription drug use shows that children’s abuse of drugs like the psychiatric drugs Ritalin, Concerta and Adderall have now tripled.

The report found that teens who abused these types of drugs were twice as likely to use alcohol, five times as likely to use marijuana, 12 times likelier to use heroin and 21 times likelier to use cocaine.

The report also found that in 2002, controlled drugs were implicated in almost 30 percent of drug-related emergency room deaths while the number of prescription drug emergency room mentions in hospital logs increased by nearly 80 percent.
