@stevebuscemi6 Good point, I never thought of that. :-o That's a very real possibility, but the year of Psychiatric drugs didn't seem to do any harm (physically or mentally) unless I was just one of the "lucky" ones.
Well, overall the video made sense to me. The elderly, sick and kids are always prone to be abused, but I don't think ALL psychiatrists are like that. When I was about 15 I tried some drugs (Mandrax and weed) about 3 times, that with depression and hormonal changes that teens go through I became depressed and suicidal, ran away from home (no abuse there or anything). Took a cocktail of drugs for a year from a Psychiatrist, and saw Psychologists - 2 years later I was "normal" again.
@dylanburkey The entire video is biased? Most of the people in this video are not scientologists, especially Robert Whitaker, and Thomas Szasz has done more than anyone in history to fight for the constitutional rights of the person so labelled 'mentally ill'. I am no scientologist, and I think the way in which the doc is made is almost an insult to such an important issue, but much of it is true nevertheless, just that the form is embarrassing, lamentably.
@dylanburkey... lives. Then you have the tardive psychosis indicated in long-term usage with both atypical and typicals, the metabolic illness, the gradual cognitive deterioration resulting from the shrinkage of the cerebral cortex, the galloping weightgain, psychomotor retardation, intense tiredness etc etc. Your arguments seem like a throwback to the nascent stages of atypical usage.
@dylanburkey That is anecdotal, perhaps even an example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Either which way, studies that look at the outcomes for medicated patients, compared to non-medicated, has exploded the myth that these drugs work in the aggregate. Longitudinal studies have shown that medictaed patients are far less likely to be able to function socially than medicated, generally. Also, at the moment, it is thought that on average, antipsychotics are taking decades off people's...
I don't know anything about scientology (too pop culture for me to have taken notice) However, I was in foster care and was forced onto medication, as were all the other kids I encountered also in fostercare/group homes. I have been pronouncing the evils of psychiatry for years. Thank you so much for posting this. I am trying to raise awareness about CPS abuse by posting a testimonials page.

@stevebuscemi6 Fair enough - I've read about the beneficial effects of Placebos, it's quite fascinating actually.

@sphinxart Placebos have cured things, Im not joking. Having a strong mind and will is important.

@sphinxart Maybe you were cured because you stopped doing the other things that started the problem to begin with??
