Our Psychiatric News Is Free from the Lies of Big Pharma Marketing
Our purpose is to educate you on the true side-effects of psychiatry’s antidepressants and antipsychotics. We want to warn you about the impossibility of easily weaning yourself from them because of debilitating withdrawal difficulties.
We want to inform you accurately about the hidden world of the highly profitable, unregulated, electroconvulsive therapy industry and the damage done to the hundred thousand Americans who undergo this brutal procedure every year.
We want you to know your legal rights under the country’s informed consent laws – too often ignored or disobeyed – by psychiatric practitioners when they diagnose their patients and recommend drugs or electroshock treatments as “therapy” when these treatments only do harm.
Psychiatric Drugs the Third Leading Cause of Death in America per Author Dr. Peter C. Goetzsche
More than one in ten Americans take antidepressants, and that figure has been rising for the last six years. In 2023 antidepressant sales brought in almost $7 billion in revenue for Big Pharma.
Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, and Lexapro are some of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants for what Big Pharma calls a chemical imbalance in our brains…yet no study has ever shown any inherent physical cause to any mental disorder.
The forty million Americans taking antidepressants every year risk the life threatening “side effects” the FDA lists in their Black Box warnings…for instance, a greater risk of suicidal
ideation or behavior.
The FDA also includes in its antidepressant Black Box warnings the dangers from attempting to stop taking these drugs…for instance, the mood changes that can occur which
themselves might increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior.
World Health Organization Labels Electroconvulsive Therapy “Torture” when Involuntarily Prescribed
No studies or placebo-based trials about the effectiveness or safety of ECT have been done in the last forty years, and the eleven done before that do not validly show that ECT works or is safe.
Many recent studies, however, do show persistent memory loss, increased risk of suicide, and cardiac difficulties after undergoing ECT sessions.
Because the ECT industry is not regulated – the FDA calls it the “practice of medicine” and they do not rule on that – every year at least 100,000 Americans are subjected to its 460 volt induced grand mal seizures. No one knows the exact number for sure, because no one is required to report to the government or to watchdog agencies about these barbaric procedures.
The claim is that ECT is nothing like what you see in One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest because today the ECT patient is paralyzed and anesthetized. The truth is that the same violent
voltage of electricity is forced into a patient’s brain to induce a debilitating 30 to 60 second grand mal seizure. You might not see it because the patient is comatose, but the electricity,
the seizure, and the probable damage to the nerves in the brain are all there.
Enforcing Informed Consent Laws Would Eradicate Many of These Psychiatric Dangers to the Public
Informed Consent laws require a full explanation of the reason for a diagnosis, the risks and dangers of the recommended treatment, the alternative treatments available, and the consequences of doing nothing at all.
Seldom are these comprehensively gone over by mental health practitioners. This omission alone may contribute to the fact that more than forty million Americans are taking antidepressants each year and one hundred thousand people are delivered ECT only because they have not been fully informed of the actual risks and dangers of these treatments.
*Although many antidepressants are dangerous to your health – even their own black box warnings tell you so – do not stop taking them without the help of a qualified physician to work out an appropriate dosage wind-down plan for you.
