Think Psychiatry Has Nothing To Do With You. THINK AGAIN

http://www.rehabilitatenz.co.nz/pages4/psychiatry-industry-death.html

Through rare historical and contemporary footage and interviews with more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators, survivors and experts on the mental health industry and its abuses, this riveting documentary blazes the bright light of truth on the brutal pseudoscience and the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.

The DVD companion brochure contains over 150 photos and graphics that track the history of psychiatry from it’s macabre 18th century origins to today, where 100,000 patients die each year in psychiatric institutions and 20 million children have been put on potentially lethal, mind-altering drugs.

We think you have the right to know the cold, hard facts about psychiatry, its practitioners and the threat they pose to our children.

TeenScreen is a very controversial so-called “diagnostic psychiatric service” aka suicide survey; done on children who are then referred to psychiatric treatment. The evidence suggests that the objective of the psychiatrists who designed TeenScreen is to place children so selected on psychotropic drugs.

“It’s just a way to put more people on prescription drugs,” said Marcia Angell, a medical ethics lecturer at Harvard Medical School and author of “The Truth About Drug Companies.” She said such programs will boost the sale of antidepressants even after the FDA in September ordered a “black box” label warning that the pills might spur suicidal thoughts or actions in minors. (The New York Post, December 5, 2004)

TeenScreen is based on the thoroughly discredited “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders”.

Schools As Mental Health Clinics

Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
In 1965 came the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
This essentially put Psychiatry and Psychology in the drivers seat of society and firmly established the policies that would harm our children’s minds for the next thirty years.
The ESEA allocated massive federal funds and opened the school doors to a flood of Psychiatrists’ Psychologists, Psychiatric Social Workers, Psychiatric Programs, Psychological Programs and Psychological Testing that continues today.

A quiz can’t assess teens’ mental health

I would appreciate anyone signing and passing on the TeenScreen petition run by  Teresa Rhoads   Trhoades_teresa@yahoo.com
One day last winter, the 15-year-old daughter of Michael and Teresa Rhoades came home from her Mishawaka school with questions.

Hey Mom, she asked, what’s obsessive-compulsive disorder? How about social anxiety disorder?
These were not just innocent late-afternoon icebreakers.
The parents were stunned to learn that their “normal, well-adjusted” teen, a girl they call “a high achiever,” was told at school she had two mental disorders.
They were appalled to hear that this determination was the result of a test she took in class, an 11-page Q&A created by Columbia University in New York called TeenScreen.
Maybe we should call it Parent Scream, since that’s the sound you’re going to hear. The Rhoadeses are howling.
Working with the Rutherford Institute, a conservative defender of civil liberties, they have filed a tort claim, notifying their school system and the Mishawaka mental health center administering the test of their intent to sue. They want to protect their child’s constitutional rights. Indy attorney John R. Price is volunteering to represent the family
Please, don’t assume this is a bunch of “conservatives” putting heat on “liberal public schools.”
The test and the concept behind it have been endorsed by President Bush’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, created in 2002.
And you didn’t even know mental health was one of our new freedoms, did you? Maybe we got this one to make up for those we’ve lost.
