PSYCHIATRIC INFORMATION

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!

In this barbaric psychiatric treatment children are removed from their homes for roughly two weeks and then are subjected to psychiatric drugs and regular electric shock treatments.

In an almost unbelievable news article exposing this new psychiatric treatment show that they take children who use the Internet too much or play too many video games and electric shock them. Then give them mind altering drugs to “adjust the unbalanced status of brain secretions”.

Today the founder of the world’s largest nonprofit web site for non-drug mental health education has published a story supporting Tom Cruise’s view that the official line of the American Psychiatric Association and Big Pharmaceutical company’s are harmful. Further he went on to state that there are literally hundreds of mental health practitioners who agree with him. Drugging, shocking and abusing people is not the answer to mental health.

Also a new ally in Tom’s fight against psychiatric fraud is a British newspaper group who offered him very high praise in exposing the pseudo science of psychiatry.

It looks like Tom Cruise’s high profile celebrity status is causing a debate to begin among the public worldwide. And I say… It’s about time! Well done Tom.

For example, I recently found this interesting discussion on a blog. A post critical of Tom Cruise was made on the blog which sparked a very lively and intelligent debate on the subject of psychiatry, it’s “chemical imbalance” theories and the fact that their drugs don’t work. In fact, in the end, it appears that the person originally critical of Tom’s remarks had a change of heart and decided to actually do some research on the subject.

The U.S. FDA on Friday issued a second warning that people taking antidepressant drugs should be monitored for signs of suicidal thoughts and increasing depression…

This follows a link made between antidepressant use and suicide. And it also follows action taken in March 2004, when the FDA said there was an increased risk of suicidal behavior in adults and children taking these drugs. It has ordered the psychiatric drug manufacturers to place a warning on the labels of all antidepressants detailing those heightened risks.

I find it interesting that the “objective” main stream media doesn’t seem so objective on the message Tom is putting out. Without even taking a look at the mountains of evidence that show brutality, fraud and mistreatment by psychiatry. The big media immediately seems to buy into the psychiatry’s propaganda and completely miss the whole point.

The Washington Times reports that the FDA may actually approve this psychiatric electric shock implant device even though it has been shown to be a failure. The times reports that the same amount of people seem to recover from their depression whether or not the device was even turned on!

However, many experts have contended that there is very little evidence that the $15,000 device is effective in treating depression, the Times said.

Psychiatric institutions are sometimes more like concentration camps then hospitals. In 1991 a psychiatric watchdog group prompted a raid of psychiatric hospitals in Italy and this is what they found: “Patients were found naked, living like animals and locked in rooms with peeling walls, old stained tables and chairs. Beds were covered with human feces and urine. It was not an isolated incident “.
