"The awakening of April - and the successful treatment of other people with similar conditions - now stand to transform care for some of psychiatry's sickest patients, many of whom are languishing in mental institutions.

Researchers working with the New York State mental healthcare system have identified about 200 patients with autoimmune diseases, some institutionalized for years, who may be helped by the discovery."

Twitter has so many mental health hastags seems to me a good way to expose the abuses of the psych and pharma industry is to just quickly hit each hashtag with a few words and a link to any critical article or website exposing their crimes and abuses.

I find twitter to be totally lame because unless your famous there is little or no interaction or conversation with anyone but it is a quick way ...

Note the stated benefit does not make adjustments for the half dozen+ pro-drug flaws*, and biases* in the short term corporate studies.

In meta-analyses of corporate short term studies (the most pro-drug biased* studies available) the benefit of drugs marketed as antidepressants is "mean improvement was 9.60 points on the HRSD in the drug groups and 7.80 in the placebo groups, yielding a mean drug–placebo difference of 1.80 on HRSD improvement scores"(1). In the HRSD ...

What psychiatry means by "antipsychotics are effective"

Note the stated benefit does not make adjustments for the half dozen + pro-drug flaws*, and biases* in the short term corporate studies.

A meta-analysis of short term (around 6 weeks) corporate antipsychotic studies tallied what the studies found was the change in PANSS scores in the "placebo" and drug groups post 2009 and pre 2009.

The change in scores in the drug group minus the change in ...

Do you think it should be legal? If so, under what circumstances?

Here are some very unpopular opinions that I hold that I feel the need to share with you people,
I hope that this post doesn't get deleted, but I've never seen such an Anti-Psychiatry section of a forum such as this except maybe that Reddit group, but I just felt the need to really get this stuff out right now to people..I'm gonna try to keep the language clean as best as I can too.. ...

What really causes addiction — to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed ...

That's the newest thing "vistaril". Useless garbage that doesn't work.

Having an anxiety attack from hell? Here is a "visteril" stupid garbage that might be of some use to the worried well but won't even touch a real anxiety attack.

Long term benzodiazapine use was a nightmare for me, would never repeat it but now it seems these days "we can give you a "vistaril", they downright refuse to treat you even short term and ...

So a otherwise healthy 23-year old young woman with depression was euthanised in Belgium. I'm sorry, but I read this as she was too much bother so they let her let herself be killed. A more detailed story than what I've linked, suggests that there were untried therapies and the psychiatrists who signed off on this were being a mite presumptuous. The danger of all this, is who's to say they won't use euthanasia as ...

How common is it to be falsely diagnosed with Autism in the school system? Is there some kind of financial incentive having to do with children being diagnosed?

At age 11 I suspect I was having pretty bad conduct disorder while still displaying "strong special interests" which i have slightly grown out of by now but there is still remnants. However since asperger was eliminated as a diagnosis, and i dont meet the criteria under ...
