'Psychiatric Treatment' Category
The history of psychiatry is filled with brutal treatments that would seem more at place in an ancient dungeon designed to torture it’s victims.
In the movie “A Beautiful Mind” it shows an example of barbaric psychiatric treatment - insulin shock therapy. Where a large dose of insulin is injected into the patient causing a convulsive seizure.
Other forms of brutal psychiatric therapy include sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation.
It is often assumed that these inhumane treatments are no longer being performed in modern times. Many people would be quite surprised to find out that therapy like electric shock and psychosurgery are still alive and well today. In fact, electric shock therapy ( also called electroconvulsive therapy or ECT ) is administered to over 100,000 patients per year in the U.S. alone! Statistics for electroconvulsive therapy show that the number of patients given electric shock treatment has more than doubled in the recent past.

Here is an interesting blog post on a morbid debate about whether to kill “feebleminded” children. I guess this is in an effort to preserve our species genetic purity.
In an article called ‘The problem of social control of the congenital defective: education, sterilization and euthanasia’, an argument was made that ‘defective’ or ‘feebleminded’ children, should be examined by a medical review board at the age of five and if so decided, be killed for the good of all society.
Take a guess where this article appeared: In Nazi propaganda during world war II? In some crazy racial supremacist’s magazine?

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 horrible story is happening all over The US. Children removed from their parents care and placed in state custody for mental health reasons. These children are then drugged without their parents consent, placed in psychiatric or foster care where they are sometimes placed in restraints. This story is about a mother who’s 2 young girls have been ripped from their homes and forcibly drugged.

A U.S. Department of Justice investigation has found a Vermont Psychiatric hospital has exposed patients to a significant risk of death or injury with their restraint practices.
The report has said that the hospitals use of a five point restraint “without any guidelines or policies governing its use substantially departs from accepted professional practices, is dangerous, and exposes … patients to a significant risk of death or injury,”
The report also found that the psychiatric hospital failed to provide adequate treatment planning, psychiatric assessments and diagnoses, medication management and discharge planning and placement. So basically it sounds like they simply locked up their patients, restrained them and drugged them.

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.

According to some of the “experts” in psychiatry an insane new disease called “FSD” is a mental disorder that requires treatment with psychiatric drugs.
Those “experts”, backed by the big drug companies, have been pushing the medical establishment to incorporate that sort of standard into a new definition for a condition called “female sexual dysfunction,” or FSD. Of course they have a mountain of medicines ready to treat this new disorder.
In its reference manual, the American Psychiatric Association described FSD as a condition with four different types of disorders: decreased desire, decreased arousal, painful intercourse and difficulty having orgasms.

The Pennsylvania Health Department and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare are conducting an investigation on a psychiatric hospital where a man recently died while under treatment.
Apparently Mr. Frank Salini was under “treatment” for Bipolar Disorder when he was physically restrained, placed in isolation and possibly drugged under heavy sedatives. It was during this time that he died under “mysterious” circumstances.
Psychiatric hospitals have a long history of using torture like restraint devices and drugging their patients when they can’t control them. I wonder how many thousands of people have been killed in situations like this.
