The Truth About "Schizophrenia" & Fixing Chemical Imbalances

This video is excerpted from a full length documentary entitled "The Truth about 'Schizophrenia'" For more information about this video, visit this link: http://www.yoism.org/zp/?q=node/70

Schizophrenia is said to be caused by chemical imbalances that are "fixed" by neuroleptic drugs. This is untrue and there is no evidence for such imbalances.

(Note about the speakers: Loren Mosher was the first Chief of Schizophrenia Studies at NIMH and Bob Whitaker is the author of the acclaimed book, "Mad in America.")

For more information about this topic, see http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/120 To view another video in which these folks do an intial calculation of the toll of death and destruction caused by standard neuroleptic treatment, see http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/119

And here you can find some of the front page New York Times articles reporting on just one of the rapidly increasing number of news reports and legal caaes documenting Big Pharma's incredible corruption: http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/274

And while the so-called "antidepressants" are probably not as dangerous, there is plenty of evidence that they cause a great deal of harm. See: http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/234

For a careful diagnostic analysis of modern society, see http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/36 Then consider the possibility that some (many?) of those disgnosed with psychosis may simply be people who cannot engage in the mental gymnastics, delusions, and other psychic operations that would enable them to become one of the "normal insane."

@Transmintosity You're not superior to anyone, so no need to apologise. You can barely write coherently (put the thesaurus down, it's not impressing anyone) and you have not backed up any of your claimed. Guess you're not familiar with dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) by the way. Nice try and you can keep spouting your maniacal nonsense it does not make any of it true. Look to the body of academic knowledge if you want to be educated. Good luck with your axis II diagnosis.

[MrGrevy]

@Transmintosity Feel free to site the studies you claim exist. (Hint, you can't).

[Silenus6]

@MrGrevy Indeed! All we need is a selfless drug company to fund a multi-million-dollar study into something likely to decimate their profits! I can't for the life of me understand why this hasn't happened yet. Surely, the fact that doctors are "educated" to support the existing paradigm and reject everything else as quakery has nothing to do with it. If a breakthrough WERE made, the medical schools would readily revoke diplomas, refund tuitions, and billions worth of equipment would be scrapped!

[cbasallie]

@MrGrevy You honestly don't know whether they have or have not since its use is illegal and therefore under reported

[MrGrevy]

@cbasallie That's simply not true. Not even close. Not all people with schizophrenia development in their teen years have smoked marijuana. You are an absolute joke but very amusing!

[MrGrevy]

@Silenus6 Good luck finding a peer reviewed article to back that nonsense up!

[MrGrevy]

@ConservativeAnthem No, the person to whom I was speaking did not say he had schizophrenia. Anti intellectual conservatives are so exhausting. Go back to your cheeseburgers and leave this discussion to the adults.

[ConservativeAnthem]

@MrGrevy I think he said he was schizophrenic, so why not have a little grace in your discourse, pompous and supercilious pseudo-intellectual?!

[MrGrevy]

Your obtuse, laughable attempt to sound academic aside, you are still wrong. There are thousands of cases in which 3rd generation anti psychotics have helped people with schizophrenia recover...so that's not even debatable. You obviously don't know of Occam's Razor. You sound like a first semester college student. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. You lack wisdom, critical thinking and you're so far behind you actually think you're in front. Very unfortunate.

@whiff1962 Yeah, yet some people are so divinely cretinous they think that because some people feel better in the short-term, this proves the existence of a metaphysical illness, as if going shopping to metaphorically cure your boredom was an actual cure for an actual disease, proven by the fact that you didn't feel bored anymore!
