So well said! I have been saying these things for years and nobody wants to hear it. I don’t have a medical degree but I read books by those who do and who tell me exactly what you have written above. I am especially sick of the “stigma” campaigns – they create victims. I have friends who have lost their ability to create because they are on these drugs. So many lives wasted and nobody pays except the patient, who never should have been one in the first place.

Umair, you mention how great you feel on your psych drugs…look, if someone goes and blows a line of cocaine up their nose, they may feel great too…for a while, then, the hard dose of reality sets in when the drug wears off and they crash in to depression worse than before…I knew a kid that did cocaine so much he had only one nostril, so I don’t advise it (for among other reasons)…similarly, your beloved psych drugs that make you feel like such a shiny happy person is merely a facade, its a crutch, and a smoke and mirror for reality, you are not experiencing reality, you are instead experiencing the effect of a chemical distorting your brain made by a bunch of mostly men that profit off of your crappy feelings…depression is largely the result of several things; 1, the wrong diet, 2, their environment, someone making them feel that way (actually, the person letting themselves feel that way usually be not changing their scene), or 3, depression due to fear which is based on feeling no control over themselves which is caused by ignorance of a situation regarding how to overcome a problem. As long as you continue to be the guinea pig for the psychiatric and pharmaceutical industry Umair, you will never know what true reality is, and you will also not really know if you are truly happy or just stoned on a chemical byproduct that is cutting off the firing of nerve synapses inside your brain…and, you will suffer the adverse side effects of the drugs you use. And, according to the med world you spend your time studying, any synthetic chemical that is introduced in to the body to attempt to alleviate one ailment, has to by nature, produce an alternate effect which is another ailment. Consider this the yin and the yang of the universe if you will, or call it- drugs of any schedule, class, make, or model are NOT the answer- they are not, no matter how you try to justify it. I urge you to get brave and be a full and complete human being, and face your soul and mind like an adult, and crawl away from the failing crutch and lie that is the psych industry and their chemicals.

We at Hillcrest Life Improvement Centre fully support CCHR. Doing the work that we do we come across people daily who are on Psychiatric Drugs that have no idea of just how harmful they are.Showing them the DVD’s Marketing of Madness, Dead Wrong, Making a Killing, Diagnostic & Statistical Manual and Psychiatry Industry of Death really educate them and get them on the road to being drug free Thank you for making these DVD’s available . lots of love Sharon

I came across this article accidentally when I was actually searching for the side effect I have been experiencing lately cos of antidepressants. When I went through the whole article yesterday, I felt the author MIGHT be right. I decided that I will stop taking these drugs from tomorrow, because I wanted to test if all that’s mentioned in this article is really true. I’m on antidepressant and anti-anxiety drugs from about 5 months which have brought a lot of changes in me. Now I don’t feel sad, have no social fear, feel confident in doing tasks etc which I had before starting meds. But today when I skipped my medication for one single time, I immediately felt the changes right from the afternoon and I was back like how I was before medication. Like sad without reason, mood off, feeling worthless, sleeping whole day today and feeling so lethargic. If drug has no role to play, then why such drastic changes on skipping just one time’s drugs??
I’m a medical student myself(final yr) and have done lot of research regarding depression especially. But I find mixed results and no clear-cut answers. For some the drug works and for some doesn’t, infact get worsen. I have lost 2 years of my studies cos of the depression, though I did take medications 2yrs back as well, but it just worsened, so stopped it. But discontinuing had marked effect on my mental health again, so I was back to psy drugs, but different ones. This time it worked for me and have been going good from past 5 months.
I would also like to add one fact, that except psychiatry department, no other department in our college/hospital believes that depression even exists! Then how are these drugs bringing about so many improvements??
A suffering patient doesn’t see facts and figures, he/she just wants to get rid of their horrible illness with either medication/counseling/proper-nutrition or whichever works, they go for that. For me, its medicines currently.

You can not turn something that doesn’t exist on and off like a switch. “Adhd” is a fictitious disorder and comes from the same book
of ridiculous “disorders” such as “arithemetic disorders,” “sad,” etc.
“Mental illness” is political and has nothing to do with health,the
mind,or scientific medical practice.

You are describing all physical symptoms which are real and exist.
Proper nutrition and exercise will work wonders on personal outlook
and life etc. Understand that “psychiatry” is not a medical field
by any stretch of the imagination. Period.

Understand “psychiatrists” are not medical doctors. They know nothing
about medicine otherwise they surely wouldn’t be prescribing Seraquel
to a two yearold. A child can’t digest foods that adults eat,so
Gerbers manufactures baby food for their little digestive tracts and
systems…But the “psychiatrist” who claims to be a “medical doctor??”
who knows they need naps,knows they can’t digest adult foods,but feels
their tiny brains,liver,kidneys,and bodies can handle the massive
toxic poison that is called Seraquel,the same exact poison that could
drive a full grown adult to wind up hanging on the end of a rope?????

Your 40 yrs exp. as a medical doctor is wonderful,(physical illness)
is real and you have obviously treated many. But if you believe in
“mental disorders,” you don’t know much about the mind (spiritual)
or brain (physical.) This is proven and is FACT: No “chemical imbal-
ances” in the brain. The mind cannot possibly ever become ill.
The human mind is not made up of cells, thus it doesn’t have any. The
mind is not biological so it can’t possibly ever catch a virus or become contaminated. It cannot be touched, seen, or “treated.”

Carl Jung:”The foundation of “mental illness” is the AVOIDANCE of
LEGITIMATE SUFFERING.” GOD bless

I am a board certified allergist,pediatrician and environmental medical doctor with over 40 years of experience. You can turn ADHD on and off like a switch with a drop of an allergy extract of dust, molds, pollen, chemicals and foods. You can expose children to these items or skin test them single blindly. The answer is not a drug or years of psychiatric care or counselling, although that certainly is needed for some. Some are better in 5 to 7 days with an allergy diet. Others with an air purifier in a few hours. I have thousands of videos to prove what I just wrote. You want answers, listen to someone who has done it for years and has some fast inexpesnive solutions without drugs. If a child is wild from red dyes and sugar the answer is to stop the red dyes and sugar. Siome doctors can treat for these substances. Why do so many struggle when the answer is known and availabl. fast and ften inexpensive?.

@tig
No you do not have a “mental illness,” there isn’t such a thing.
You are comparing real legimate disease (physical) that can be and is
tested, against a fictitious nonsensical illness (“mental illness”)
that real modern medical science with all of their diagnostic testing tools don’t and haven’t ever worked. It is a big rotten hoax on America!!!

You are obviously naive and trusting (taking poison… “medication”
that is doing everything to your body except healing you.)A “psychiatrist” is NOT a medical doctor. They are legal drug pushers
and you are one of their customers.Win/Win for “psychiatry.” You can’t
recover, they keep prescribing, insurance keeps paying $$$$$$ what a
vicious cycle!!! This is what they have done to you:

They saw you, labled you into what they call a “patient,”you believed
them, and now you willingly became one. But you “believe” you are. No you are not “mentally ill,” just ridiculously gullible. Do you have the extensive blood work, the brain scans,the second and third opin-
ions to reveal thus verify your “illness????”

Think about how you feel when you are physically sick with the flu.
Extremely sluggish, fever, you can’t do much of anything but rest.
Now what do you think would happen if your mind could ever become ill? You probably wouldn’t live. (At the least you would seriously be
out of commission.)

It is probably pointless to try to rationalize with you (but what the heck…) If you don’t believe that you are NOT “mentally ill” and that everybody here is lying to you, consider this FACT: The mind is not biological. It has NO CELLS…It cannot contract a virus or become ill ever. The mind cannot be seen or touched. You see, unlike real legitimate physical illness which is biological and has
cells and can contract illness and disease, the mind just can’t. This
is based on science and fact and IS PROVEN!!!

A headache is a real physical temporary biological ailment. Headaches
exist, and America is dependent on aspirin to relieve migrains, etc.
Do not lump “mental illness” in with physical illness which is real.

Do you believe that because milk and cookies get purchased more in
grocery stores across the nation when it hits mid December, that
santa,his elves,and reindeer are responsible, therefore they must exist?? The “psychiatrist” is a living persona, but in reality he/she
cannot help or fix you anymore than santa can by quenching your blues sliding down your chimney leaving you all the gifts you had wished for. (Bet you wonder how he doesn’t get stuck in all those chimneys.)

You need to separate reality from fiction. “Psychiatrist”= pretender.
They haven’t healed anyone, but they have hurt scores of people.
They don’t know how to treat or heal because they are NOT doctors,
they only listen to your story, then prescribe what they “feel” is
“right for you.” THEY ARE DANGEROUS!!!

A legitimate medical doctor who actually heals people from conducting
various routine scientific and medical tests concludes his exam. with
a report based on what the real medical tests and evidence yields. If
he/she write out a prescription drug to be taken, you can be assured
that they know the effects, how it works, and why they are prescrib- ing it to you unlike the “psychiatrist” who has absolutely no idea on
how the “medication” they prescribe to you works, or what the full
effects of the drugs are. They don’t care. They just keep writing
prescriptions, getting kickbacks, and oh yeah….getting $$$$$$$$$.

Unfortunately, “psychiatry” can be found quite easily. They want you.
You are business. They will continue to peddle those drugs that will cause great harm or death to you or anyone who BELIEVES THEIR PURE FICTITIOUS LIES THEN WILLINGLY SEEKS ONE. You should thank CCHR, they are a fine caring bunch of humanatarians who are out to help you and anyone else, who will open their ears and minds by listening and lear-
ning while they expose all the evil that this terrible profession that needs to come crashing down hard has done….”psychiatry.”

No. Shame on you for lashing out on a topic you know nothing about.
CCHR has all the facts and they are 100% accurate, as they have been
studying this “pseudo science” a long time.

“Psychiatry” is the disease it purports to treat. Wake-up and get
educated. Your mind is fine, you either have a real physical illness,
or a spiritual problem. But not “mental illness.” GOD Bless.

I have a mental illness. A real mental illness. If I do not take my medication like clockwork, it comes back that very afternoon and debilitates me. I live in fear of losing my medication or being taken off of it for a time period for whatever reason. I think sites like yours are very disturbing. You think that because you don’t have a test for a headache, that doctor’s shouldn’t prescribe aspirin? Do you think that if in the past there were no tests for juvenile fibromyalgia, that the disease didn’t exist? And you are preying on those who have mental illness, telling them not to seek help! Shame on YOU, sitting there reading this, for not looking at all the facts. And, by the way, aren’t you Scientologists?
