Are we crazy to think we’re crazy
Currently available on Google Video in its entire length (1 hr 48 mins 22 secs), Psychiatry - An Industry of Death is a documentary whose title is a clear introduction to the message.
Produced by the Citizens Commission of Human Rights (CCHR), psychiatry is presented as a field in which causes for illness are unknown, cures are merely hoped for, and billions upon billions of tax-payer dollars are being spent, while millions are made to suffer and die prematurely, are in essence tortured and often forced to receive treatment against their will.
Citing the lack of scientific evidence that mental illness is a result of chemical imbalances in the brain, the number of individuals reported as being treated for same through prescription medications is staggering.
At one-hour and twenty-two minutes into the film, the increases quoted as to the number of children diagnosed as having ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADHD - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is horrorifying–in 1988, 500,000 children were diagnosed as ADHD; in 1994, 4.4 million children were diagnosed with ADHD.
Perhaps needless for me to write, with each diagnosis there are medications being prescribed, so much so that the pharmaceutical companies derive the highest margins of profits, and have enjoyed vast increases in sales - 2002 Drug Industry Profits: Hefty Pharmaceutical Company Margins Dwarf Other Industries pdf
So to the many who have been diagnosed as mentally ill, or have family members so identified, what do you think?
