News of Anti-Psych Forum

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.

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 ...
