Rep. Mark Olsen -- Mental Health Screening & Antidepressants

Minnesota Rep. Mark Olsen -- Mental Health Screening, Suicide and Antidepressants

Minnesota House of Representatives Member, Mark Olsen speaks against mental health and suicide screening and the use of antidepressants use in children.

Rep. Olsen references the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Report on Mental Health Screening of May 2004.

The Report states;

A. There is no evidence that screening for suicide risk reduces suicide attempts or mortality.




B. There is limited evidence on the accuracy of screening tools to identify suicide risk.

C. There is insufficient evidence that treatment of those at high risk reduces suicide attempts or mortality.

D. No studies were found that directly address the harms of screening and treatment for suicide risk.

Rep. Olsen also reference the FDA's black box warning which warns of a increased rish of suiciality in children who take antidepressants. This warning was recently extended to include young adults age 25 and younger.

In England, government health agency have actually recommended that no antidepressants except Prozac be prescribed to children under 18.

From what I know, these supposed screenings are based upon written tests that couldn't possibly be any more inacurate then they are. There is no hard science behind them at all. They are based upon assumptions and conjecture.

[psychetruth]

Pretty much, here in Texas they have infant mental health screening questioners w/ "scientific" questions like "Does you child cry too much?" or "Does you child cry too little" or "Does you child maintain the right amount of eye contact w/ adults?"

If you are hanging on to any idea that this is about "help" you should just get that out of your mind.

It's about money. It's about control. It's about pharmaceutical lobbyists and the industry in a position using the government to make it's own laws.

They are trying to make these laws that mandate use of their product on children. It's just pure evil IMO.

I agree with this guy!

@MrGrevy I'm glad to hear that, sorry if you didn't like my post. I think I meant generally as in just people who support psychiatry. I know that a lot of people who work in mental health are well intentioned and have been misled by the establishment, but they are finding out.

[MrGrevy]

@Yimmery Actually, if you knew anything about anything - you'd know that there is a huge opposition in the mental health community against using drugs, restraints, etc. Don't be misled by the facts.

0:47 Often pharmachiatry people go "Ooooh shame on you! how COULD you say that!" because who could possibly disagree with screening children for suicide risk? we meant well!

Its the bit where they give them very expensive drugs that make them suicidal / psychotic / depressed etc then as a result force them to take more drugs. That is basically psychiatry in general.

People find it hard to believe as if they could be so stupid well let me tell you something, you are stupid.

I just saw an ad for this on ABC news. They called it a news segment but it was an advertisement.

Sure, they should have screening to help reduce depression. Just make it so no medication can be obtained from a profit-run company.

And no teens can ever be referred to a profit run counseling service or a profit run hospital or a profit-run psychiatrist.

None of it can be profit run where someone stands to earn more money if a teen has depression.

That's all.

They know what they are doing, and that's the plan, to numb every human being in the U.S. so that when they want to force martial law, who will stop them. They are moving full force with their project now. Stop the Mother's Act bill S324 Now, before it's too late for your newborns also. Look up Effexor Baby...

[petunia511]

Look up this video Rep. Mark Olson

utEmfpPLGZo these are what the kids look like after about eight to ten years. Fight back and fight fiercly, my own son almost died of a stroke at the age of 14? Afterwards, I found out, the mixture of drugs given to him via school setting was a dangerous combination of drugs, no one was monitoring these drugs. Why because he was given these drugs by special school programs.

[coronet67]

Yes. It's insane. There is infant prozac and other medications. It's completely insane. They are destroying our future generations and our society by doing this. These kids will grow up to be numb, deeply psychologically damaged adults due to these drugs.

Thank you for posting this. I'm off to see what the UK are up to now. BTW, when did Mark Olsen make this address? I would be very interested to know.

The application of psychology, in most cases, is a complete joke. It's theory and concept that make psychology only reasonably credible. Likewise, mental health screening is inplausible and psychiatry a market for profit. Go ask Pfizer, but don't believe what they say. It's about money and playing on people's stupidity. Also, I work in the mental health field and see this stuff everyday.
