It's about time this is being brought out into the open more broadly, thank you so much for gathering these experts and having them tell the truth, it is a fraud!!!!

PSYCHOPOLITICS - the art and

science of asserting and maintain-

ing dominion over the thoughts and

loyalties of individuals, officers,

bureaus, and masses, and the ef-

fecting of the conquest of enemy

nations through "mental healing."

@Annelies19532 if these drugs cause brain damage is it more for children and not teenagers..what about taking antidepressants for OCD is that damaging? I mean if someone actually needs it can it help?

@dannyboidj1 I am able to function socially. Kind of anyway. I keep to myself mostly. I chalk that up to lack of trust mostly. I wonder at tmes if my issues are a direct result of the meds they gave me. I don't know what they were but I do know I never seen a doctor. I have been out of the system for over 20 years now. The seizures started about 6 years ago. Before that I had cloudy moments for years. There is more but I prefer not to speak in public. I just can't.

@Smartassawhip wow i am sorry to hear that i am not going to say i know how you feel from that stand point because i do not. are you still able to function socially like do you still have your personality? i have been affected by these drugs as well once they stopped working, i feel as if my memory is clouded at times and cannot say things as i would like too...i know my case is not as extreme as yours but do u think this is just part of my withdrawl from the meds which is temporary

[dannyboidj1]

@candygir7 how exactly do they cause damage isnt it reversable? please explain this as i am scared shitless for taking them.

[Smartassawhip]

@dannyboidj1 I have seizures.. I never had them before and they can not seem to figure out the cause. On my worst day I had over 75 of them... Not a lot of fun. I do believe that they have caused some brain damage as it seems as though my memory is being erased.. Kind of weird I know.. Mostly short term but some long term as well. I also have other things that happen. I sometimes drive in a hypnotic state and find myself lost so now I do not go anywhere by myself. Reversible? I wish

*UM UM UM* (with hand raised) HOW ABOUT FEEDING OUR KIDS FOOD THAT ACTUALLY HAS THESE STRANGE NATURAL CHEMICALS CALLED NUTRIENTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY ONCE PART OF OUR DIET!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN YOU EVEN APPROACH THIS SUBJECT WITHOUT mentioning NUTRITION!!!!!!! Serotonin is a NEUROTRANSMITTER MADE BY WHAT?????? The amion acid Tryptophan, which is one of those strange nutrients found in REAL FOOD!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!! DOCTOR????????

[dannyboidj1]

@Smartassawhip what problems do you have to this day? do u believe they caused permanent brain damage? do u know if any damage is reversable thanks.

[dannyboidj1]

@torturedbyshrinks are you ok did you suffer any other brain damaging effects? it is good that your eye sight came back does that mean that the damage caused by these drugs is reversable? thanks and god bless

Adults are over medicated as well. If you get a diagnosis bipolar 2 disorder the standard treatment is "medication fir the rest of your life". This is a scam by the Pharma companies and they claim "it is probably genetic". But no proof. I grew up around a lot of violence and neglect and of course I would have these symptoms as an adult and I recovered completely through psycho-therapy and my own personal pursuits of art, theatre and writing which gave me the ability to reflect.
