My wife was a victim of psychiatry. She was last year diagnosed with early onset dementia. She was over a timespan of 9 months hospitalized for 10 weeks, twice for 5 weeks. The second time she was basically imprisoned, during the weeks able to go outside for one hour only, and had one or two hot showers as the women’s section had no hot water. I visited her every day and she sat or lay in my lap crying for one hour. Every day. I could not discharge her as she was declared non compos mentis. Her diagnosis was made after a group of psychiatrists and psychologists reached consensus regarding a diagnosis. They changed their diagnosis on a monthly basis as well as her medication. My wife was in dire straits and became suicidal. The doctors insisted that was not caused by the medication and her treatment. Her treatment stripped her of her humanity - even being locked up in a dark room without any furniture, ablution, water, etc. Stripped of all her clothing, even underwear, under the claim that she would commit suicide with it. End March she was discharged after 5 weeks in hell. Every month that I would take her for a checkup and receive medicine, she would become extremely depressed and fearful that they would institutionalize her again. Two months before her death, the psychiatrists declared that she did not suffer from dementia, as her memory was too good. We asked them to taper her medication and take her off it. They denied our request. We repeated this request a month later. My wife went through hell on the medication they prescribed. Once again they refused and bluntly informed us that she suffers from Alzheimers. Three weeks later, a week before her next visit to the clinic, she committed suicide. I reject psychiatry and psychology today.
I'm so sorry for your loss. She didn't commit suicide from any depressive disorder, but rather out of fear and hopelessness of having no escape from treatment which is very similar to the 'medical' (mal) treatment that auschwitz victims recieved. It's this inhumane, dehumanizing, life destroying torture which should be illegal. This kind of torturous maltreatment absolutely scary.
Thats a tragic Story. Psychiatry doesn't heal people and often makes them more sick. Often you have doctors and nurses working there, that enjoy having power over others. I worked as a doctor in psychiatry in a german university clinic for a year and witnessed alot of inhumanity there. I worked in other departments later like surgery and internal medicine. The far most disturbed colleagues that it was very difficult to have a genuine connection to, were those in psychiatry department. I am a doctor myself, but I really tell everybody never ever trust a doctor blindly. They are human beings at the end and they can be wrong with their perspective. So alwaya trust your gut feeling and dont allow them to have power over you. What happened to you and your wife should never havw happened. Doctors should give advice or recommend a certain treatment, they are not allowed to have power or controle over any human being and should never act against the will of the patient or their families. I would bring this case to the court or media. The doctors should be held accountable for what they did to both of you. Thats not medicine, thats a crime!
I worked as a psych nurse for years and eventually resigned, it was appalling the treatment that most people got. The movies present counsellors and psychiatrists really helping people with their wisdom and advice. In reality, this doesn't happen. In fact, in most cases, they are trained not to give advice. It's all such BS.
And that's why the movies show it the way THEY show it ! It's always like that ! The news lies and shows the opposite of what the truth is just like most govt given narrative.
Yes agree. I work at a health centre & we are increasingly getting housewives overprescribed & addicted to psychiatric & pain meds. Their issue is mainly their husband being serial cheaters & gaslighting them about it. Instead of dealing with their marital problems they just become drugged shells. So the kids are physically being abandoned by their father who is spending most of his free time with other women & emotionally abandoned by their mother who is too doped up & numb to be present. These kids also get diagnosed with some mental disorder before they turn 12. Its a horrible cycle.
I am sorry. I do believe in the placebo effect. But I took medicine that caused me great pain outside of a hospital. Thank you for your honesty. Myself, I think that psychiatrists want fame a large paycheck. I wanted to be an engineer when I was eighteen, but my male chauvinist psychiatrist, Leon Cytrin, he told me that engineering is a man’s job. I was eighteen when I suffered two weeks of constant akathisia. Now that I am in my fifties, I wrote longer books than him. College doesn’t make someone smart. I know that I am intelligent. I have been verbally abused. Kids said that I looked stupid so I was studious. Leon’s wife Dr stupid Eileen Cytrin, she told me that kids who wear glasses are smarter and I didn’t wear glasses. So glad that I am not dealing with those horrible people anymore who I believe intentionally tried to ruin my life. If you had akathisia, you would understand.
1: make people believe they are sick 2: sell them a drug, that allegedly cures them 3: make sure the drug only is a temporary cure 4: make sure the drug also causes new symptoms 5: sell them a new drug for the new symptoms 6: repeat indefinitely
It is like saying if you tie someone up where they cannot move and feed themselves of get water and leave them that way, you are not guilty of murder. That is a clarification from the Techum or Talmud.
I am a medical physician who has worked in multiple psychiatric settings. One psychiatrist who rarely saw or spoke with his patients and would be able to pick out his patients from a lineup, confessed that he was paid for his daily attendance more if he prescribed or changed the dose of a med prescribed. So he always did such… whether pt needed or not. Unless potentially lethal side effects did not matter. If a side effect could be treated by yet a second drug, it was a good day for billing. 1:mm33This is a very important reason why so many drugs are prescribed - and not just in psychiatry. Please expose this sinister mistreatment of ordinary people. It is a biggie.
About 20 years ago, my friend Marie told me: "I am able to get money from the government, if I will take psychiatric drugs!" She did not even have a diagnosis! @@nishantpatil1799
My best friend recently committed suicide. 74 yo, VietNam vet (decorated), and the most kind and compassionate soul I might have known. He was "labeled" paranoid schizophrenic, and had endured time in a psych hospital where he and the other inmates were abused and given drugs that they couldn't function on. They finally let him out when he "agreed" that he was sick and needed to be on these horrible drugs forever. I think he was caring and loving and knew right from wrong and didn't accept the lies he had been told in life and he was being "corrected" for not following the rules of THEIR opinions. How many good, intelligent, self-aware people are in institutions because they had the guts to stand up and speak out about things they believe in? Way more than we can possibly imagine. My stint in seeing a psychiatrist was to be given Klonopin which made things much worse, and it took NINE long years to wean myself off of this grotesque, mind altering drug, while being told by the psychiatric "care-givers" to "take more, you aren't taking enough". It's not for the meek or conscientious person to get into therapy, because you might end up dead.
I watched the psychiatrists kill my mother with their invasive treatments and psychotropic drugs. Eventually, she collapsed and died after taking them for years, These doctors are criminals hiding behind a mask and white coat. There was nothing wrong with my mother, it was the side effects of the medication that she was taking, but Instead of taking her off the meds, they kept prescribing more, till they made her sick and killed her.
Thank you for sharing your experience, I knew those things were dangerous and when the gp advised me pills for depression, l insisted l didn’t need pills and wanted to see a cbt practitioner, and they eventually let me have 12 session with a young cbt therapist who was brilliant, and it was the start of my mental healing.
I was on an antidepressant for thirty years. I lost my three closest family members in one year, and never shed a tear. I knew something was very wrong when I couldn't even cry. I slowly tapered off and am free of them for the first time since I was 30. I am old now, a life wasted on anti depressants.
60 years young ! Plenty of life to experience! Don't waste the rest of your life dwelling on this. It's time to finally live. Take your revenge over these stolen decades ! ♡
If you are alive NOW, it’s never too late to live yourself a beautiful life. You deserve much credit for getting off those drugs successfully. God bless you.
I had post partum depression. The midwife prescribed Zoloft. I felt like I had a chemical lobotomy. I couldn't even cry. No one followed up to check on me. I can't imagine how this effected my ability to effectively bond with my child. That drug is a soul stealer.
You are not alone. Post partum depression is real. We are never taught we are able to get through this experience, that it is temporary. No, drugs are prescribed instead of the truth. The drugs suppresses "LIFE"! Bless you for sharing.
The doctor at Dartmouth Hitchcock hospital in NH has my disabled epileptic daughter on 200 mg/day zoloft for years now, and whenever I suggest weaning her off, I am met with contemporary and arguments to keep her on it
Not on earth IN THE USA. You're not going to find 2 and 3 year old children in Mexico given ADHD drugs or anywhere else. There are a sprinkle of people in other countries who drug their kids. This is where the gullible fools live who actually believe these psychos.
@@mardishores4016Yes religions can harm, understand their is a huge difference between religion, ( forced rules- controlling) ,and relationship with God through Jesus by being born again of the Holy Spirit and forgiveness of sin. Jesus spoke out against the religious leaders of that time ( pharaseys.,sadusies &,false gods) Love conquers all fear.
These medications are very dangerous. I took Zoloft and started having episodes of psychosis. The only thing that had changed in my life prior to these episodes was that I was put on that medication. I connected the dots and got off the medication and never again had anymore episodes of psychosis which could’ve landed me in the psych hospital and psychiatrists would’ve added more medications to get rid of the psychosis. Possibly would’ve turned me into a schizophrenic and labeled me “mentally ill.”
@@emilybarnes5654 it seems i can get through the day without withdrawl but i have a fear of going to bed at night my symptoms are worse after midnite i take very small amounts to help me cope, i guess its just going to take time if i can hold on, i'm a strict vegan and exercise try to get fresh air deep breath even in very cold upstate n.y it helps
I remember when grief was considered normal/natural following a loss -- a process that took time (for many up to 5 years with loss of a strong bond). Now the very moment they learn a person has only just suffered the loss of a loved one, including a pet, even if the loss only just occurred yesterday, they want to diagnose that grief as "depression" and prescribe anti-depressant medications. It is as though any and all negative emotions are now deemed abnormal and something to be "fixed" or treated by popping a pill.
At one point, the DSM people were swayed by the argument that grief should not be pathologized, and they had a rule that you could not diagnose bereavement or depression after a death. That meant that people who had experienced grief could not go to a therapist or psychiatrist because that mental health professional was forbidden from billing for grief. The DSM now allows behavioral health people to bill when they have somebody come into their office because they are overwhelmed and cannot function because of grief. Folks outside the field want to get rid of this, but I believe that people who experience grief and especially complicated complex grief should be allowed to have psychotherapy.
Exactly 👍 💯 and it is important to GRIEVE fully and not suppress those emotions with pills to numb it down. I had 2 little dogs 🐕 they were in our family together (for approx 10 yrs together..and one for 18 yrs) when 1 died aged 11 years, the other howled whimpered and circled the dead dogs body for about 2 hours and kept nudging the deceased dog to try to wake him up. We left her having his body for several hours so that she fully understood he was gone and had her last cuddles with him (they were very bonded like husband and wife), and then we buried him. For the next 3 months exactly, our female dog was SEVERELY DEPRESSED? 😔 wouldn't even go outside even to the toilet unless I was RIGHT by her SIDE. She could be alone, NOT even for a couple of minutes.. and she followed close to my feet for 3 LONG MONTHS to the point of my almost tripping several times.. then 3 LONG MONTHS LATER.. I opened the front door one morning to accompany her outside as usual, so she would urinate...and low and behold.. she SKIPPED out the front door and RAN all around the garden ALL ON HER OWN, not needing me by her side any longer. Suddenly, after 3 long months, her heavy grief had totally lifted over night..she was 11 yrs then and she went on to live to be 18 years of age. (RIP 🙏 BINGO, West Highland terrier girl 18 yrs and RIP 🙏 Bran her husband who died aged 11 yrs). The moral of these precious dogs is EVERYONE NEEDS TO FEEL EMOTIONS NOT BLOCK THEM OUT. Only then true healing comes back. 🙏 🤲
During my 73 years and countless interactions with whitecoats, I was NEVER asked if I had experienced any concussions (TBIs), but I was diagnosed with many mental illnesses. I had 12 memorable TBIs and numerous "milder" concussions. Each major TBI changed me and changed my life, pretty much permanently. I do not enjoy being slow to process, but in my opinion, it's better than being labeled a paranoid schizophrenic, an original diagnoses that terrified me for decades. Today, I am convinced that Big Pharma IS a criminal enterprise, and as such should be viewed with great skepticism, especially when it is one of the main drivers behind "mental illness". Thanks for the eye opener.
Ugh, yeah. Also, two other things: 1. The gender / trans industry. 2. The Covid vaxx industry. ..SHROUDED in lies, and exploitation, for the sake of capitalism, BOTH of them!! Lies, lies, lies... So many lies!! And the more you look, the more of them you find.
Can one TBI really change a person that much? My son had such a bad concussion that for hours he could not remember what had happened or what he had just said. 😥😥
@@jmjlori yes, absolutely, look up Dr Mark Gordon millennium group and watch his podcast w Joe Rogun. Get all his hormones measured, supplement w pregnanalone and dhea accordingly also.
Medication is only to maintain control over you. I took 150 mgs of Zoloft everyday for 25 years. A tragic mistake as it did not at all relieve my depression. I cut it cold turkey and for a few months, experienced moments when my mind was like a radio receiver changing channels. I would just realize that my brain was being 'adjusted' like a radio receiver. While taking Zoloft, I was unable to feel anything to heal. It was just a completely unemotional human trying to survive and amazingly, I did.

I remember sitting in my doctor’s office in 2008 thinking, “I can tell this guy anything and get a response that will lead to me getting the drug that I want.” I stopped going. I eat well, exercise and get plenty of sunlight and rest. I do not take pharmaceuticals. These people are literally pulling diagnoses out of their asses.
Good for you! Try a carnivore diet or at least a keto diet. Both eliminate toxic oils which are so damaging to our system. Both replace those highly processed oils with butter or lard with is so good for the brain. Dr. Berry and Dr. Georgia Ede are a good start.
Absolutely correct, as proven by the data in the book "Experts Catastrophe", with 36 graphs and hundreds of scientific refs. From Amazon or booksellers, best get hardback. Or free chapters find by websearch. The data show (CONFIRMED PREDICTIONS) that vast majority of psychiatry (and chronic disability) has been caused by dental mercury.
Certainly one of them, yes. Mindblowing, ironically. I've had Dr Jeffrey Schaler on my channel a couple of times, worth a look if you liked this video.
What an absolute brilliant presentation to have stumbled across James Davies. Thank you. I endeavor to start writing about the truth in the medical field, as a Registered Nurse, no longer employed...with eyes wide open.
Me too. As a registered nurse who worked in acute and community mental health settings for 13 years. No longer employed . I have no doubt that pharmaceutical approach for mental disturbance is wrong
“You are not a machine with broken parts. You are a human being with unmet needs.” For those who are suffering from depression and anxiety, I *strongly* recommend Johann Hari, and Dr. Gabor Maté’s work.
I checked "like" comment after comment. Not because I ' like ' the news, but because I respect the commitment people are making to share their experiences.
My psychosis was ALWAYS chemically induced! The only times in my life I've ever experienced psychosis & extreme paranoia was on psych meds. Agrophobia as well. I have PTSD from what these drugs have done. I have to work through the agrophobia because my body remembers the trauma I experienced before. I'll start shaking uncontrollablely out of nowhere & get dizzy. It's my body remembering & reacting to past trauma. I'm having to work on rewiring things. Driving too. I'm still working on that. It's a process but yoga is helping me tremendously with everything! That and art therapy. I'm healing.
The route you are taking sounds really sensible and positive. I had an adverse reaction to a med pushed on me at age 18; my Mother had be taken off them right away
Good for you that you found some modalities that help you. Add a carnivore diet. The food we eat affects our whole body incl. the brain. Or I should say, most of all the brain. All those processed foods are making us sick and mentally week. Research about a carnivore diet. You will be surprised.
Glad to hear you are healing, magnesium also helps calm the nervous system and muscles as well as potassium and B Vitamins ( we call the B vitamins the happy vitamins especially Vitamin B 1). Best to you.
Thank you. This topic is of great interest to me, as a 64 year old mother, I have observed how ineffective most of big pharma's methods have been for all chronic conditions, mental and physical.
I worked in mental health and used Bowlbys attachment theory while writing reports on people with mental health problems . Discovered how a child's development can be affected by abuse and neglect when younger and can have an impact on later life . Some people's lack of support in times of adverse life experiences and the attachment style when younger can have a significant impact on how they deal with experiences where they are described as having a mental disorder or problem . Had to leave as people were being turned into zombies !
Some of it can be categorized as criminal - money laundering is common with Big Pharma using Doctors to take bribes to launder drug money that are classified as studies so its okay they can just take cash for that - and they sell the drugs and give the money back.. so even the illegal drug stuff and war in Afghanistan and heroin - its all connected.
I was on some antidepressant or another and not experiencing suicidal ideation AT ALL at or around that time. I went out with a girlfriend one evening and had a couple of glasses of wine, came home, pulled the car in the garage, closed the door and proceeded to leave the car running as I began writing a suicide note. I had the music on in the car which woke my roommate up causing her to come ask me to turn it down. If not for that I’d be dead now. I immediately weaned myself off the meds. Who the hell needs a med SOOO potentially destabilizing that you can’t dare have a glass or two of wine without effectively playing Russian roulette in the process? No thank you. Big pharma has a LOT to answer for across the board.
Pharma is good at defining mental categories, and also good at exporting them. India did not suffer from "depression" until recently. When big pharma noticed they were not selling drugs there, they started a campaign to show people, especially middle class women at home that they might be "depressed". It became a fashion to get diagnosed and prescribed drugs. Odd that they managed without them for thousands of years before.
It's not odd at all. it's common sense that any chemicals are not good for the body. people will do anything for attention and play out their depression as a virtue. Anxiety and depression are the dis-eases humanity is the most proud of.
@@s.muller8688 Yes of course. I was speaking ironically. "Drepression" is a very real thing. But it seems to me that there are lived reasons that you get depressed and you need to figure those out and act on them, rather than take a drug to make it go away.
Diagnosed with a mood disorder in 2015. Took heavy medication for 6 years and my brain was so numb. I was sleeping for 10 hours a day. Could not speak to anyone properly, my hands and lips would shake involuntarily. A doctor (and not an ordinary one - the Head of Psychiatry at one of the biggest hospitals in North India) told me to never get excited or celebrate or get too emotional. I was "told" to be a zombie life and no one cared how I felt. Everybody wanted to "fix" me. The medicines just made me incredibly hungry, sleepy and dulled my mind to the point that I felt like a drone.
I was diagnosed bipolar and put on all manner of drugs that numbed and crushed the life out of me. I came off all drugs after some years and gradually healed with art therapy, dreamwork, nature. Psych drugs can do immense harm , the folly of our time. If antidepressants worked people would not stay on them for ever.
@@angelawilliamson6765 Yes I do agree, in fact nowadays I have helped people slowly come off psych meds and find healing . Having been down that rabbit hole I know the way out!
DONT want any truth of who you are divinely born to be. I am grateful you are here & if any one ever tries to diagnose you again with a mental illness you numb their voice & ask truly ask your higher self what is really coming forth in me. What abilities am I developing & educate yourself on all the toxins, preservatives & chemicals in foods & products. People with ADHD have been targeted for cyber security jobs.

I will never forget that woman in Houston, mother of 5, who was on several medications for depression, killed her 5 kids and called the cops saying that she was “protecting them from demons”. It turns out that after years of taking meds, she said that things were getting worse not better, and then her new doctor took her off the meds and told her to think positive. Then all of that happened. It was the most terrifying history I ever heard in my life, and since then, I became very skeptical of meds.
You can't coldturkey those drugs!!! The doctor is a lunatic!!! It's so important to give informed consent and also be trained in safely tapering people of their drugs...
The medical education system is subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry, so why wouldn't the practice continue being the solution of the prognosis outlined by the very benefactors? A patient cured is a customer lost.
This is the pharmaindustry-side and then there are some sadistic people intelligent enough to know theirself and become doctors. Now we have a wonderful monster-symbiosis.
I've had AKATHISIA for the past 2.5 years....thank you for spreading education and awareness! I was polydrugged for a decade and never even had a mental illness. I was on drug after drug for normal human experiences. Multiple drugs, to treat the side effects of other drugs...then you have multiple drug interacting with one another....IT'S DISASTROUS.
Ellie Marie, How do you live with it? Have you found any relief? I have an undiagnosed muscle twitching / Jerking. Sometimes it feels like a jolt of lightening going through my whole body and out my hands. Sometimes my knees will slam together and I have to put a pillow or something to cushion them. Wondering if it's a neurological symptom from all the back pain and or anxiety... or could it be a permanent brain zap thing from seratonin syndrome I've had a couple times and being on and off antidepressants over the years/decades.... very annoying and embarrassing!!! When it 1st started they gave me benzos but that's bad too so I quit... well...withdrawed...
Find an ND/MD, a naturopath that also holds a medical doctor license. Your hormones need support and you'll need cubic yards of vitamins etc. I had it for 18 months but Athletic Greens & dessicated thyroid supplements got me back on track. Good luck my friends, it's worth it to get on the other side of this.
@@Meowlenean I agree with the reply that nutritional support may help. I have a relative who had multiple spinal fractures and had restless leg and muscle cramps. Chelated magnesium and low animal protein, omega 3 and dha, with loads of fresh green vegetables and low glycemic fruits really helped lower inflammation and support natural healing. Are you sleeping? Can you try a modest amount of tryptophan before bed? I hope you can find relief and healing. It can be quite a journey of self knowledge.
About 20 yrs ago I started taking Prozac for stress and mild depression, I just wanted to "feel good". I did feel ok (not better) for about a week, then I started having full-blown anxiety attacks which led me to the hospital because I couldn't breath and my heart would pound out of my chest, I thought I was having heart attacks. After about a week of this level of anxiety I then became sadly agoraphobic. I stopped driving, I stopped going to the grocery store or any other store... I was terrified of going outside my front door, and that lasted for about four years. My return to society was very gradual and depressing, always 1 step forward and two steps backward. There is so much more I could say about my experience of that SSRI, all-in-all it stole 15 yrs of my life, and today, I still live with low-level GAD. I am now TERRIFIED of all pharmaceuticals!
Yep, I would have called an end to that experiment on your life after about 2 weeks... They don't have to live with what's going on in your head while they put u on those things... they get to go home and forget about your hell. But I'll bet that none of those doctors have EVER had to endure THAT SHIT... NOT ONE OF THEM...
Sorry about what you went through, I got mis prescribed some of these drugs when I was 18 after a bereavement. I've never coped with stress in the same way since. Doctors tried to put down the side effects of the drugs as the symptoms of a mental illness.
A fascinating lecture, which I found by chance. Dr Davies confirms the suspicions I have held for many years. I am also very suspicious about the recent interest in "mental health" issues and the sudden promotion thereof, everywhere.
I, too, happened by chance upon this lecture and found it so enlightening and informative, I went back and listened again at normal speed. *_TRUST !!_*
A clinical psychologist saved my marriage, family, and pretty much my entire life. I have enormous gratitude for him, and the long-term psychotherapy I had. My experiences with psychiatry, however, were nothing less than harmful to me. They are the worst.
@@elizabethAbbott-q6m I wouldn't after having had several very problematic, to say the least, experiences. Only one out of an uncountable number of medical psychotherapists and psychologists was truly enabled to help.
It started when I was 14. I was very emotionally damaged. I knew I had problems but didn't know how to fix them. I saw a psychologist on a fairly regular basis. As I got older I discovered drugs and alcohol. These numbed the pain but were destroying my life in many ways. I ended up pregnant at 25. Out of fear I married a man who nearly destroyed me. This lead to hospitalization and medication. This went on for years. More hospitalizations and way more medicine. After 2 more children I finally snapped I gave up everything he didn't approve of. I left him and found a wonderful man who literally saved my life. There were times I was taking up to 14 pills a day. Antidepressants, antianxiety, mood stabilizers, and an assortment of other meds. This was messing me up severally. My new husband came in to the psychiatrist s office and tore him up. He said you're over medicating her. After that he came with me to my appointments. Even then I was hospitalized 4 more times. The worst came when I almost died because they weren't testing me properly and shut down my parathyroid glands. I had to have surgery It was all very traumatic. I ended up addicted to pain meds. Opiates have the effect of a false sense of well being which was better than no sense of well being. Now I'm 63 I'm diagnosed as bi polar. I'm on 1 medication which was developed for seizures and doing very well. If not for my husband I'm positive I'd be dead
Goodness me, it was hard for me to read your story...I am so glad you had met an angle in your life that helped you through it all. Hope your kids through their own resilience had managed to create a happy lives and stay away from being over medicating themselves. Thanks for sharing your story! Congratulations on getting rid off most of your unnecessary medication and finding your own inner strength.. All the best!
I appreciate honesty and transparency. The public has been played for being naive. What happened to the medical CODE of ETHICS and promising to do no harm to anyone in the course of your work?
It ceased to exist. Over the years, the “medical standards” have changed. For instance- pharmaceuticals on the market have NOT been TESTED and APPROVED by the FDA but by the the pharmaceutical companies themselves… Does anyone really think they will get honest, accurate info? The pharmaceutical companies are in the medical schools, the entertainment business, etc. they are everywhere.. it’s all about money. Create a medicine and a condition for the medication to treat. It’s totally insane.
After investing years and 100k + for med school they demand high pay and high profits guarantee that. The AMA IS responsible for NO SINGLE PAYER and a host of other regressive, anti health policies by bribery of public officials ,along with Pharma and health insurance companies of course. Our sickcare 4 profit is the most expensive and worst in the developed world. A SICK joke .☺️
I was going to school to become a psychologist, after almost 2 years and learning about how to keep customers returning on a regular basis and not curing them but keep it on going I quit. The fraud from how it started and how it felt it needed more and making them up. It was disheartening to say the least.
I'm studying psychology and this video has only reinforced my desire to study it. You're logic makes little sense. "I went to become a mechanic, but when I learned that there were a lot of broken mechanisms and no one was fixing them, I decided not to fix them either"
@@CaptainShenanigans42No, you study psychology because you are bad at mechanisms. What he said is " I went to be a mechanic; ut when I realized it was engineers who broke the mechanisms, I left"
This is why i love youtube cause you can always learn something new youtube to me is like a school cause their is so much knowledge that i learnt that school would never teach me
This is only the tip of the iceberg: the true horror of psychiatry can only be appreciated if you hear the rest of the story - for example how disability due to 'mental illness' has rocketed since psychiatric medicine came onto the market in the early 1950s and continued to mushroom when the second generation came in the late 1980s: how long term outcomes are FAR BETTER when someone never takes an anti-psychotic according to numerous trials (such as by the World Health Organization and National Institute of Health): how antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage and structural abnormalities - and it goes on. To hear all this research see lectures by Robert Whitaker, of which there are many - or you could buy one of his books like Anatomy of an Epidemic (recommended) or Mad in America (I know less about this earlier book). It justifies Breggin's claim that one of the most dangerous things you can do in the Western world is see a psychiatrist.
omg are u ever right. and besides all that they act like spectators at a witch burning whenever they can, illegally notwithstanding...get someone kidnapped and locked in somewhere. It's $$ooooo lucrative, In my state specifically, the top richest people are MALE SHRINKS. Also here's something else nobody wants to hear...with a more nurturing society there would be a NORMAL amount of "genetic" diseases (psychiatric that is) instead the inflated amount of supposedly hopeless untreatable conditions like oppositional defiant disorder and seasonal blues. Malingering in prison. Not enjoying our torture session. Whatever...Go get the books if u don't believe me. They wrote a lot about this stuff in the fifties, and before and way after. Not anymore. By the way Spitzer's bestselling "DSM 3"- included "Factitious Hysterical Psychotic" episode is maybe what happens when the police arrive at a domestic violence incident and they decide to believe the violator and not the violated...too bad for her, right? THAT started in 1980, the women's movement was over, apparently, and no justice for them in the courts cause their little problem was no doubt "factitious" (fake). Too bad for the women who end up dead from not being believed though...80 more new such psycho "diseases" were stuffed into that book by that guy Spitzer, 1980 and onward. Draw your own conclusions about the larger message to we the people...
I've gotten off all my medications that I was on for 11 years. Figured out how to fix my insomnia, so I could get off of them. Cymbalta made me feel drunk; not sure how I drove to work, but I had to sleep at work until the med wore off, and I took the med at night before I went to bed. Lyrica slowed my speech down. I get sick from Oxy, Perc, etc. I get sick after I wake up out of surgery. Took my daughter off Adderall 15mg XR, because it caused her cholesterol and triglycerides to sky rocket, and as she has gotten older, she has gotten better at school without any medication.
I agree with your sentiment. I just find it funny how in America everyone uses a label. Oh I am a "Tumblr blogger", a "Reddit upvoter"... Heck I even saw in TV news someone's credential read "Victim". Dude you are not your label... If choose you must, at least choose a grandiose one.
@ God, what words would you use to describe yourself if you were poly-drugged with psychiatric drugs for 35 years with ECT's and due to the side effects, adverse effects & constant withdrawal symptoms stuck in the revolving door to psychiatric hospitals, emergency rooms, intensive care units, treatment centers, burn units, AA & jails. During those 35 years as psychiatry rams your central nervous system through the meat grinder taking away your ability to work, your memory, ability to love, enjoy sex, it takes your children, your job, your sanity, your spouse, it alienates yourself from your soul, and then it takes your home leaving you homeless. After you've been forced to endure ALL of these withdrawal symptoms ALL at once, not one at a time, tell me the correct 'label' to use. Good Lord knows I sure in the hell don't want to be using the wrong Fing 'labels'. SSRI/SNRI withdrawals symptoms & then Benzo withdrawal symptoms: Crying spells Worsened mood Low energy (fatigue, lethargy, malaise) Trouble concentrating Insomnia or trouble sleeping Change in appetite Suicidal thoughts Suicidal attempts Anxious, nervous, tense Panic Attacks (racing heart, breathless) Chest pain Trembling, jittery or shaking Irritability Agitation (restlessness, hyperactivity) Impulsivity Aggressiveness Self-harm Homicidal thoughts or urges Confusion or cognitive difficulties Memory problems or forgetfullness Elevated mood (feeling high) Mood swings Manic-like reactions Auditory hallucinations Visual hallucinations Feeling detached or unreal Excessive or intense dreaming Nightmares Flu-like aches and pains Fever Sweats Chills Sore eyes Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Abdominal pain or cramps Disequilibrium Spinning, swaying, lightheaded Unsteady gait, poor coordination Headache Migraine Tremor Numbness, burning, tingling Electric zap-like sensations in the brain Electric zap-like sensations in the body Abnormal visual sensations Ringing or other noises in the ears Abnormal smells or tastes Drooling or excessive saliva Slurred speech Blurred vision Muscle cramps, stiffness, twitches Feeling of restless legs Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms: Electric shock sensations Muscular spasms, cramps or fasciculations Insomnia Blurred vision Dizziness Dry mouth Aches & pains Hearing disturbances Taste & smell disturbances Chess pain Flu like symptoms Impaired memory & concentration Increased sensitivity to sound Increased urinary frequency Numbness & tingling Hot & cold flashes Headache Rebound REM sleep Stiffness Fatigue & weakness Hyperosmia Paranoia Hypnagogia-hallucinations Nausea & vomiting Nightmares Agitation and restlessness Anxiety, terror & panic attacks Impaired concentration Elevation in blood pressure Tachycardia Hypertension Postural hypotension Depression (can be severe), possible suicidal ideation Tremor Profuse sweating Loss of appetite & weight loss Dysphoria Depersonalization Derealisation (feelings of unreality) Tinnitus Paraesthesia Visual disturbances Mood swings Indecision Gastrointestinal problems (Stomach & abdomen) Abrupt or cold-turkey benzodiazepine withdrawal (Lets see how ya like these, lets see if you survive and what words you'd use to describe this HELL.) Convulsions, which may result in death Catatonia, which may result in death Coma (rare) Temporal lobe epilepsy (Seizures) Suicide Attempted suicide Suicidal ideation Self harm Hyperthermia Delusions Homicidal ideation Urges to shout, throw, break things or to harm someone else (violence to extreme violence) Violence Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Psychosis Confusion Mania Effects similar to delirium tremens Education - it does a body good. It will do your mind even better. I'm not a dude, I'm a 63 year old women who is a psychiatric drug survivor.
I'm old enough to remember when there were non of these diagnoses. We simply had to get on with life. Although, I have to say, our family support was much stronger in the 60's, 'cos our elders lived and died at home too. We also had some extremely depressed 'stiff upper lipped' males in our families, suffering from what we now know is PTSD, not to mention poverty. Upon reflection, we were closer, happier and generally mentally healthier than people are today. We were also taught how to sew on a button, darn a sock, cook, and look after babies. Boys learned how to mend shoes, grow vegetables, carpentry, and generally useful tasks pertaining to their lives. We were too busy to spend time thinking about our personal feelings. There was inevitably something else happening like a new addition to the family, a nearby coalmine accident etc.
@Patrick Chadwick - Back in those days poor mental health was prevalent also. There was no shortage of very sad, dysfunctional families. Things have not gotten any better with regards to mental health, but I'm not sure they are any worse either?
@@montesa9136 Actually epidemialogical studies were done before the first psychiatric medicines arived in the early 1950s, and psychiatric conditions were far, far less common, but also a) disability due to mental health has increased manifold over the last 50 years and c) the long term outcomes for psychiatric illnesses have gotten much worse over the period. These are the facts. See Robert Whitaker - Anatomy of an Epidemic for all the research.
Wonderful to hear your account there, but dear Patricia Chadwick, what went wrong?? We've lost so much, not just over the last century, but over the last 500 years. Sure we've gained much - most of it unwelcome - but the losses were invisible: we lost the tribe, we lost Mother Nature, we lost the extended family, the neighbours, often we lose our family and friends, and end up chocking in loniness or superficial or impersonal relationships. These are aweful times to my eyes: truly dystopian. These are dangerous and ugly times, and I really wish I could have lived at a time when we still felt one with nature. That would have been almost heavenly: add a humanity within which all creatures loved and cared for all other creatures, and there is utopia, heaven on Earth. Why couldn't we have built that? It's not through anything we lack - it's this phenomenon of egoism, selfishness, which has really muchroomed over the last 60 years - and this tendency, this pathological greed and self-centeredness is to me more like an illness rather then a crime, so I don't mean to judge. I think it's all related to the traumas we have continually generated as part of our industrial social developement and how this thwarted and confused our psychological developement as a people. But anyway, thanks for this bit of Christmas past! :D
@@zeroxox777 @Whoever The Person - I don't doubt what you say. I'm not saying medications are a silver bullet, they're definitely not. But they are the only practical, affordable treatment we have
I protested against my diagnosis. My psychiatrist claimed I was non-compliant with medication, even though I had had horrible side effects. I never got good counseling or real financial help.
I ended up in hospital after I left my abusive husband and lost my son to leukaemia. I also had childhood abuse and trauma. The answer was antidepressant, even though I almost had a stroke from serotonin syndrome previously.
Thank you for bringing this hidden information about psychiatry and the DSM to light. It's a very brave and very necessary task for which I commend you. As a former psychotherapist, I totally agree that psychiatry, it's diagnosis and treatment, are about POWER. Many so-called professionals are on a power trip and ironically have mental health issues of their own. It's truly a sad state of affairs when a profession, which professes to help people, often only pathologizes them.
They hear what they think, NOT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID. I have seen this in my medical records. What a shame as what they write is written in stone. You can only add an addendum!!! SAD, SHAMEFUL. GOD HELP US, PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
In my opinion you have to remember that the psychiatric field is who the current crop of psychotics running the country have justifying their greed and stupidity. All psychiatrists will diagnose someone with hoarding disorder, when's the last time a psychiatrist diagnosed a politician for lying too much? Or a crooked as all hell loan guarantor for hooking people into subprimes that turned out well for him but not well for any of his clients? Or diagnosed insurance company lawyers with chronic dishonesty, figuring out how to sell employers so-called health care insurance for employees with a $3,000 deductible. If that isn't criminal I don't know what is
They are incels who changed the defition from pedophelia from paraphelia to "orientation", they silence medicate and falsely diagnose victims of abuse. Its the biggest power trip using pseudo science ever. MIND CONTROL
Meanwhile they ruin people's mental and physical wellbeing with their voodoo pharmakae. Meanwhile they'll never poison themselves or their families with it. They only medicate and rip off people who are poorer than them. Bc all shrinks are snake-oil salesman. Nothing more.
An associate of Peter Breggin - Peter Gotzsche uses the term Organized Denial, when he leads a discussion about psycho-pathologizers. I like Hubristic Denial even better! / How many inpatients {especially women} gain huge amounts of weight while their locked-in?
My ex wife was seeing help she was going weekly to see a medical psychiatrist. What I had noticed With in 3 to 6 Months. She lost her sence of self and mentally she was acting like a high schooler. The person I lived with for over 20 years i noticed was no longer available. She had taken on a different personality. She trusted these so called perfessionals . Not every perfessional nore every person will have your best interest in mind.
Sounds like a horrible end of your relationship? Didn‘t you manage to get her self back by reducing the drugs slowly? However I am very sorry that you also saw a part of this abusive psychiatric-system!
I didn't take it either. Its my fu*king body is all I know and I know how to prevent colds and other infectious/viral respiratory illness. Didn't stop the hospital from giving me a 3 month mystery virus in 2020 that almost ****** me The police thought I was such a nuisance when I called them back in massive GI agony 10 days later. Probably antibiotic poisoning in fact. Point is the joint didn't give a **** **** what happened to me after they got paid for an easy little bone job
Wholeheartedly agree! These victims of psychiatry are treated as sub-human, their plight is neither a popular or fashionable cause, and the vested interests - mostly financial interests - are simply too influential. Thank goodness for people like Doctor James Davies, who at least can offer a modicum of hope to those of us who would wish to see justice for the many harmed by our current methods of dealing with what are essentially natural responses to extremely difficult life experiences.
@@mickizurcher Are you serious? If you have been injured by the actions or drugs given by a psychiatric care-giver that has caused you harm (or death) there should be restitution by these same care-givers for the injuries THEY CAUSED. Millions of people are dying at the hands of doktors.
@@annelijonssonannelijonsson Doktors are protected at all cost while the victims die silently and unheard. I wish there were better news. If you are able please volunteer to work to change these barbaric laws. There is no responsibility required from doktors, and WE pay the price with our mental health.
My mother, RIP, lived the pharmaceutical life. Tortured by drugs like a show horse, they never wrote the second half of the prescription: Take in air, circulate your blood & nourish your body. Thank you for your research.
At 65 I have been off of antidepressants for about 7 years. In a 15 year period I was on at least 11 different antidepressants and ended up in the psych ward 13 times because I was suicidal. One of my boys bought me a book called your drug may be your problem. It took several years for my brain to re boot and have not suffered from major depression since. Drs don't seem to want to admit they're wrong . Instead they push more on you. What a farce. Also when you're in patient it's time to leave not based on whether you're well instead it's time to check out when your insurance runs out.

Most of my family lived and those still alive still living the pharmaceutical life.. I watch them and they all seem to get worse to me.. they need to take more drugs constantly to solve the symptoms of the previous drug.. all drugs have side effects..my family has no interest in taking personal responsibility and trying to figure out what is causing the original problem… I have been doing my own research for 20 years and I came to the realization that food is the best medicine.. and food has no side effects…
One time I hurt my hand playing softball. HR sends me to their doctor. He gave a diagnosis. I was also permitted to get a second opinion. The doctor I chose concurred. I chose to have my surgery with the doctor I went to for a second opinion. The other doctor became angry and tried to change the severity of my injury. Stating I did not need surgery. I thought wow, are doctors lying to their patients. The bad thing about it, I couldn't bring it to the attention of anyone because they weren't going to do anything about it. I would have to hire a lawyer and I couldn't afford it. These types of doctors need to be held accountable for malpractice.
I experienced the same thing years ago. I was pressured into a wrist surgery that I later discovered wasn't necessary. A simple cast had sufficed. The surgery led to complications which almost caused me to lose my arm -amputation was considered! What learned was that in my country the doctors are paid very little for base pay and only survived financially if they performed surgeries. So therefore the doctors will try to convince everyone that surgery is needed in the case of any slight bone fracture from accidents.
I had suppressed trauma as a child ,then it created over thinking, stomach issues, fear, insecurities, created long standing debilitating anxiety..self medicated with drugs, then prescribed pain killer. For years I was taking trazadone xanax,ssri, gaba, and pain killers. During the pandemic I did sleep guided meditation at my home, 4 nights and one morning later I woke without anxiety. My usual wake and take my meds, I stopped cold turkey. Its been 2 yrs. No anxiety and no meds. I felt betrayed
Same here. I was prescribed antidepressants, amphetamines, Xanax and morphine and Percocet for 10 years for a fibromyalgia diagnosis. I was drugged and stayed indoors. My vitamin D level was a 10. After my mom died I decided one day that I didn’t want to be medicated and stopped taking my meds. I would wake up early and go spend time in the Sun while I was experiencing heavy withdrawals. That was 18 months and I’m a completely different person. Changed my diet and started going on long walks. It sucks changing at first but well worth it in the long run.
@@jenniferpetty5238 Everyone needs to be on a high dose vitamin D. I have heard of many patients who were helped by simply getting their vitamin D levels to an acceptable blood level.
@@remotefaith I drank lots of lemongrass and Passion flower tea to help the anxiety. Also took b complex and extra b1 (thiamine) the first few months. It’s rough but I’m starting to feel mentally like myself again instead of reaching for the meds. I don’t have that pit in the stomach anxiety anymore. And natural sunlight has been shown to naturally raise serotonin levels too. Hope this helps.
These psychiatrists have a lot of power. They can certify you as crazy and have you detained for as long as they think is good for you. Stay away from them unless you are really desperate.
There’s no money to detain people for a long time anymore. There’s no money for adequate treatment of mental health issues. Reagan broke the mental health system. Encouraging people not to get the help they need for psychological problems because of fear of being locked away is irresponsible.
They certify you as crazy, instead of figuring out 1 or 2 deep seated problems and then providing guidelines for a better lifestyle - which should be their moral mission. Most psychiatrists refuse to circumvent Standard of Care ethics!
Agreed. People shouldn’t fall for this scam: “If you are struggling come forward and we’ll help you” Never fall for this scam! The whole strategy is to make people feel a bit more comfortable and put them at ease so they can come forward and basically fall into their hands. I’ve heard dozens of stories of people who went to ask for some advice and they ended up locked up for months and some even years. It shouldn’t be like this. You should have a trial by a jury. Not a medical trial! We aren’t under medical dictatorship are we? So therefore people should get a fair trial. That way sectioning can be scrutinised as it should be! But no! Instead you’re left at the mercy of individuals who know each other in one way or another and who work together against you.. all while saying it’s for your own good. To nudge people,on any level,is to assume that you know better than they do about what’s best for them. Who finds this acceptable?
@@Botoshel19 The offer to help is almost always something else - and for those running the Mental Health Industry {their term} inveigling deceit. These psychiatrists welcome sad people, evince crocodile tears of concern, hand out disease-like labels [to justify long term insurance coverage + financialization] and then prescribe neurotoxic drugs or ECT. Yes, they know others in their racket - who are also too hubristic to think and consider what they're actually doing to people. / If someone is distracted or depressed - then enlist him to train aesthetically. The 1st classes should be with enthusiastic drum music, where everyone starts clapping & stomping. Soon everyone is laughing, since happiness + physiology are being triggered together - which the subconscious mind takes literally! / This is the approach of Peter Breggin + Howard Glasser - for people to build a cathexis!

Who would believe human emotions would be turned into a lucrative business? Turning people inside and out. I'm OK your not ok. It's reported that all these psych drugs stem from nazi chemist's of ww2. Mind f_ck everyone...first and then? Taking verbal emotional abuse to rally the Aryan insanity by mass psychosis to add a chemical straight jacket?
My Grandaughter lost her Dad at age 3. She has problems with her stepfather who is verbally abusive. Her Mother doesn’t support and defend her. Its not suppress to me that she has started acting out. However her mother decided she is depressed and needs medication. Her GP agreed and said she has to take them for 12 months. She is having nasty side affects and her Mother said you have to give it time. To be honest I’m bloody angry as all she needs is Love. She gets it from me, but she really need it from her MUM.
I knew this was the problem with the DSM twenty years ago, it's not news. Any reasonable person would have investigated the basis for taxonomy and criticized it. It is another reason TCM is superior, as they diagnose and treat all "psychiatric" diseases as physical disorders with predictable etiologies and standards for treatment.
I only have a minor in organic chem and I figured it all out easily. I'm also good at math and method, having done it for a living. I checked my conclusions with 2 PhDs and was told that I got it right. Conclusions: Don't take any new psychoactive drugs because they are not tested properly. Don't take any new pain medications for the same reasons. If you really need a medication, do your research and take the oldest effective one. Morphine, for example.
Except when you're suicidally miserable and you have tried all the old drugs this plan goes in the toilet. I love how people think that you can cure your depression with their good old homespun horse sense.
@chaosordeal294 And I love it when snotty depressed people exist in the delusion that they possess superior thought patterns, even though said thought patterns are k*lling them. I love it, because I love absurdist jokes and caricatures.

Psychiatry registrar from Australia here. Impressive investigative journalism and very worthy criticisms of the field. However, I didn’t find any helpful or realistic suggestions on what could have been done better or what I can do as a psychiatry doctor moving forward. Common theme of the anti-psychiatry movement: here are the problems but don’t ask us how to improve them. For those interested it took about 15-20 min into our psychiatry terms as medical students to appreciate the limitations of the DSM and we are trained to build a biopsychosociocultural and spiritual management plan for people’s psychiatric concerns. We do our best to focus on the narrative not the label.
Then he didn't discuss trauma work and somatic brain rewiring. Both are a new paradigm in healing new psychiatrists need to learn about. No-one asks patients what happened BEFORE symptoms began - and there is always trauma. Read psychiatrists and doctors who have given up on drugs that harm more than they heal, and are working with what DOES help: Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, James S. Gordon, Dr Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges. I myself developed insomnia and pain from fibromyalgia, and was prescribed clonazepam and elavil - which disabled me for 20 years. No-one asked what might have caused the symptoms - 19 major stresses, 4 of them traumas. Only when I tapered OFF the drugs and face old trauma and grief did I recover 80% from 5 incurable diseases. Meditation, dancing, Chi Gong, long walks in nature, CBT, DBT, Family and Internal Family Systems, all work vastly better than drugs. Psychiatry need to come out of the dark ages and into the wondrous world of self healing. Even after 54 years with CFS/ME and fibromyalgia, I am still recovering and hope to recover fully! Somatic tracking, brain rewiring, neurofeedback, Dr. Porges's listening protocol, all help vastly better (with studies that prove that) than harmful and dangerous medications - that even when they work often stop working within 1-3 years, then the patient discovers they are almost impossible to quit as there are hellish withdrawals worse than alcohol, crack cocaine, and heroin combined - as they can last for years. But we CAN recover, our brains DO heal, and there is lots of wonderful work we can do to help ourselves! The psychiatrists who have worked to heal their OWN trauma make the best healers. They've found new ways to truly help and heal. I hope you join them.
Psychiatry as a career attracts narcissists. Control other people, make money, be admired. A scene from the movie "Hellraiser" comes to mind - ("THE DOCTOR IS IN!") The DSM is the new bible and this is 17th century Salem, Massachusetts.
Yes! I just had a physical a few weeks ago. I filled out all of the checklists honestly saying that I'm tired all the time and I can't concentrate and I don't have any energy. I fully believe I have adrenal fatigue, but the doctor told me I tested mildly for depression and started telling me about Zoloft and Wellbutrin! I couldn't believe it. What a waste of time.
omg. Can't even be tired without being depressed. Suggestion: try a carnivore diet for a months and see how you feel. I've been on it for a year and will never change my diet again. It is miraculous.
Did anyone ever consider that childhood trauma results in all psychological “diagnoses”. We ALL have within ourself the ability to self regulate and heal ourselves. Read The Body Keeps The Score. Buh-bye Doctors and pharmaceuticals
Actually, it's the duty of our parents/caregivers to regulate our emotions as children. A parent (usually a mother) naturally connected with her child by an emotional bond will have no difficulty in doing this. Children calm down by being hold to the chest and listen to their carer heartbeat, this kind of therapy has been being used in dogs that were removed too early from their mothers, hold the animal near the chest and let it heat the heartbeat. Imagine a mother that is disregulated due to anxiety, depression, stress..she naturally can't regulate her child, the child will get 2nd hand of what mother is experiencing.
Not just childhood trauma but also adult trauma such as war experiences, unhealthy relationships, and horrible events. Also food choices have a great effect if you don't feed your brain what it needs you will have issues such as malnutrition affecting anxiety.
I’m a practicing GP and my understanding was that when the DSM was created it was actually done because different psychiatrists and therapists did not have a common framework to communicate about patients so there were even more issues with subjectivity in diagnosis. They did not create it just for the heck of it and there were not a lot of drugs to prescribe then and Big Pharma was not that big then. Also when I offer a referral for counseling only about 20% of patients accept it and many just want something quicker like a pill which also allows the patient to avoid facing their tough stuff. I don’t like the whole DSM model because of the labeling of a complex person into over simplified categories. Also when I think about whether certain new diagnoses indicate over medicalization I think about how impairing the problem is to the persons level of function to avoid over diagnosis.
In the early 90’s I wanted therapy and was refused it unless I was on medication. Which was evil and wrong of them .. I developed serotonin syndrome which put me on klonopin . Don’t blame the patient.
I am glad someone is coming forth with the truth. I always felt a knowing in my heart that there was an evil plot to harm people under the pretext of helping the people. Thanks for this exposure.
@@ziziscorsese9475 The Mental Health Industry {their term} has been locked down under Standard of Care ethics - where each operative conjures caring crocodile tears and while giving out disease like labels - to thus justify neurotoxic drugging and/or ECT.

That goes for lots of meds, especially vaccines! and their nutrition advice is just as evil as their push now for more vegetarian food and artificial meat. How sick.

Kudos to you Dr. Davis for bringing this info into the open. I’m 77, and when I’ve taken a medicine that doctors prescribed, it always made it worse for me. It’s not only in the emotional psychiatric field that doctors are prescribing a bunch of medicines that only make your life worse and really miserable. At this time I do not take any, I try to eat and exercise and, no matter what I see around, I keep it positive. In a way, I think we all should be responsible for our health and not leaning on the doctors only. I feel for the ones with big health problems that have to incur in the doctor’s office, and have to endure treatments that will dump them in a hole for the costs of treatments, that the only one gaining is the pharmaceutical lords. You are young and my wish for you is to be able to keep doing what you’re doing: wisely and honestly and knowledgeable to share with the World. Blessings on you way…
Adopting and caring for an animal helps tremendously 😊. If you can ( and you don't have one) adopt a cat/ dog in need and you will help yourself as much as you gonna help the animal ❤
And that is the problem. Nurses are trained in hospitals to relate symptoms to psychiatric mental illness. Therapist and Counselors are the names for Psychiatrist. And allowing them to become Holistic Psychiatrist and distribute the same drugs is against a human beings Rights.

Sounds like what happens at the Karen Horney clinic in NyC. People go there after sometimes suffering horrendous trauma and yet you can't see a therapist until you see the Psychiatrist who is assigned to the clinic for two days a month. The first thing that happens is that you are put on a revolving series of drugs until he finds the one that "clicks" for you. This is done before you have spoken a single word with your therapist. I knew that he was only in it for his pharma bonuses when my therapist moved to a new office. It would be months before i got an appointment with my therapist and a new psych. This previous doctor refused to continue my prescription until i was fully transferred and so i had to go off of my meds cold turkey after being on them for 3 yrs. He refused to help me.

Psychiatrists vote in new disease-like Disorders. The DSM had 384 in 2011. After the Penn State coach molested children, # 385 was voted in - Histrionic Personality Disorder. The games of Psychiatrists must be brought to an end, since their machinations have a deleterious effect on everyone. This must be done by better informed lawmakers!
When my "crazy" grandmother got closer to dying, she decided to stop taking her meds. Not long after the fact; she snapped out of her madness and apologized for all the nasty things she said and did. Her doctor was just a pill pushing opportunist along with her psychiatrist. Over 30 years of needless emotional trauma caused by greed in the disguise of medicine.
This is how I studied Psychiatry: the: DSMIII , but I had no idea how it was made , it’s unbelievable! . But the most incredible thing is that the experts in psychiatry from the rest of the world - such as England, just adopted the manual and never questioned it .
Staggering! What a damning indictment of the entire 'profession.' I've watched their handiwork close at hand for over seventy years now. My mother, valedictorian of her high school class, had her first run in with bipolar disorder in 1932 during her college freshman year. She soon dropped out and ran a long lifetime gauntlet of episodes, doctors, treatment regimens, etc, etc, etc. She passed in 2005, age 90, due mostly to the loving care of her husband and children and despite the quackery of multiple medical incompetents along the way. From Thorazine's deadly dulling to lithium and Electro convulsive therapy's amazing effectiveness, I've watched and evolved from hope and awe at psychiatry as a child to disillusionment and disgust today.

I’m so very sorry for your mother and your experience and pain. I am sorry for everyone including my daughter who died at 27 years old. In the process she/we became victim of the psychiatric community.
@@mysterydiaz5302 Very sorry for your loss. I'm reminded of Sir Winston Churchill's words: When you're going through hell, don't stop. I think our entire medical establishment, especially as it relates to treatment of mental illness, is going through hell just now. We're in a time of discovery and invention in the treatment of mental illnesses. Medical research is peeling the onion, but it's a big onion. Like Thomas Edison declaring progress in the knowledge gained from 10,000 failed light bulb experiments, psychiatry is building an impressive pile of drugs and techniques that don't work. More eventually will and they will have benefited from the trials of our loved ones. The best to you.
The sad fact is than neither bla. bla. "therapy" or these drugs work, unless the patient believe they do. That leaves very ill patients in an impossible situation.
Bravo Dr. Davies! Your courage to make this expose gives me hope. But more than that, it give me someone to respect in this moral desert of modern culture! I hope in my own small realm I can live up to your example. Many of us have intuited these realities without the ability to confirm our deductions. Your labors and talent have filled this lugubrious gap. So many people I know are immediate victims of this rapine. Your eloquence is here so valuable to exactly define these acts and intentions! A thousand thanks!
I happen to lack 3D vision because my eyes don't line up properly. I didn't realise this when I was in my twenties at university. I started wondering why things didn't look 'real' or solid when I touched them. The university referred me to a psychiatrist who decided I was out of touch with reality and borderline schizophrenic. I went on tranquillisers for 11 years. It was only when I spoke to my optician that I realised what had been the actual problem all along.
@@christinanielsen1917 The trouble was, I was very much into ideas and over-analysing things myself. I'd also assumed it was the way I was thinking and kept trying to find the answer in philosophy, instead of getting on with my coursework. We were all looking in the wrong direction, but what they did made it worse, because I lost all my motivation to do anything as well.. It was a horrible time. Thank goodness I mentioned it to an optician eventually. My dread is, if I ever end up in a care home. The history of 'mental illness' would come to light, making it more likely I go on tranquillisers again.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! Recently I noticed getting diagnosed bipolar was pretty popular! Thanks for the messages of truth. Thanks for all your research and effort to uncover the truth, the darkness.
Behind every labelled , diagnosed mental issue is a reason that put us there. Once we recognize the problem the issue disappears if we know how to process it. Much damage has been done to my family by labelling unfounded diagnosis that were due to domestic problems. Psychology is bogus and is a control thing by medicine and Pharmacy. Thanks for your video
Psychology itself isn’t bogus but the DSM and NIMH are. Many prominent psychologists and psychiatrists are trying to pass a diagnosis of complex-ptsd and focus on how trauma manifests later on as mental illness especially trauma from early childhood but the NIMH won’t allow this diagnosis because then people will be encouraged to heal instead of take pills. It would also pretty much erase most of the DSM-5.

My own father was a neuroscientist specialising in mental health medications and the medical model. This did not stop him from getting me (an artist) diagnosed as psychotic and treated for nearly a lifetime with antipsychotics. I still have a psychiatrist after 45 years of being on antipsychotics. However, she says I am in remission but she will not support me in coming off my medication. I am trying to take myself off the damned stuff, doing it very slowly hoping to minimise withdrawal symptoms. Hopefully my brain has not been damaged too much to be able to enjoy my few remaining years (I am now age 66), and hopefully I will be able to do something useful with those years, as I have not been capable of achieving very much in my lifetime due to being medicated, despite studying psychology, sociology, social anthropology and fine art at university.
@@capresti3537 no he didn't diagnose me himself.. he took me to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me on the strength of my father's false accusations about me.. the psychiatrist told me to take antipsychotice not my father.
@@capresti3537 no he wasnt a psychiatrist. He was a neuroscientist - a neuropharmacologist to be exact (he researched various new medicines and found out how they affect the nervous system). He worked in the laboratories where chlorpromazine was invented in the 1950's and he truly believed that psychiatric medicines were safe and essential. I had enormous arguments with my father in my late teens and early 20's and he took me to see a psychiatrist and persuaded him to give me antipsychotics to calm me down. I have never been actually psychotic. The psychiatrist practically worshipped the ground my father walked on when he found out he actually helped invent the drugs and was teaching and researching at Cambridge University and he believed I was mentally ill because my father said I was. My father did not like opposition to his ideas and liked to control people, and because we had vastly different approach and outlook on life he just wanted to shut me up and keep me quiet about his research which involved animal experimentation..
@@cathynoble5269 Since he was a neuroscientist he knew very well psychiatry is a pseudoscience and the drugs are harmful. Seems he wanted control. I am sorry to say but you had a terrible father to take you to a psychiatrist and have you drugged. Most people who see psychiatrists have no idea it's a pseudoscience and their drugs causing the same symptoms they claim to treat. Basically psychiatrists induce and create mental illness with their drugs control their patient's and profit off it. It's a business not healthcare and it destroys lives. You can see the truth and facts about psychiatry at the CCHR website.
so pleased to be listening inn 2023 and to sharing real people to help people off these BIG Pharma drugs! what a real eduction. Thank You Dr James Davies to the Weekend University...
I have been a very tragic victim of this agregious scenario. After years of suffering and being over prescribed with these touted medications, I weaned off these medications which took courage and without the false help of a doctor. And I found freedom and happiness and mental health after a period of catharsis and natural stabilization. They would have killed my soul if not for my spiritual instincts.
@@ziziscorsese9475 Yes, but he was sublime and led others. In his 1st book Your Erroneous Zones, he provided an example for others - " I am the Apple of my Eye and if you can be part of this - that's even better! " Imago Dei!
Very impressive! Patients should always judge their doctors by how openly they discuss about treatment possibilities with them. This is the first step for spotting a good doctor...
Many areas are controlled by a single medical corporation and there are no alternatives to go to within driving distance and most can’t afford the time and money needed to properly look for a “good” Dr MD. Smaller cities and rural areas have limited options. There is way too much “scratching one anothers back” mentality in medicine.
Absolutely sick.... I have completely abandoned any psychiatric treatment, they made me ONLY worse, wanted to force me higher doses for a longer time, even when I told them I felt ok again... I decided to treat my severe depression and three suicide attempts I had by myself by listening to philosophers, teachers and some doctors who do get it right. Some examples you can easily find anywhere in book from Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, Gabor Maté, etc. I focus on meditation, taking stressed away from my life and taking on a mindset that some of these people describe so equalently. Also - even though I do not recommend it - I have subjected myself to traditional natural medications (psychedelics) now a year later not taking anything anymore, not even psychedelics I am completely back to normal, have became more spiritual and live with much much less stress. Thanks for this great video 🎉 Sadly I lost complete trust in psychiatrists and psychologists... but what can we expect
Please try a carnivore diet. Even just for 1 months and see how that heals your brain and body. The brain is mostly fat. We need healthy fat! Butter and lard. No cooking oils, they are toxic and destroy the brain.
Having engaged in early training to become Disability Assessor (for which I did not succeed to 'make the cut') - for receipt of statutory disability benefits in the UK, I have a number of observations related to this excellent presentation... 1. The medical diagnosis and list of medications a potential claimant was on was regarded as the primary indicator of the seriousness of someone's functional disability. It had the most potent decision-making influence on the way the claimant was seen. The whole of the assessment process failed, in my opinion, to really 'see' the person or to examine the real, underlying issues which drove their health challenges. They had largely been medicalised and medicated, but their human experiences and responses to these had, in the majority of cases, never been addressed or effectively treated. 2. People not helped (or actually impaired?) by medication interventions were largely considered to be beyond help - when to me (from an Occupational Therapy background) this did not appear to be the case. 3. The Disability Assessment industry is HUGE! It's contracted in by the UK government from American companies and some from other countries (Australia, if I recall). It's part of the industry of permanently pathologising people and supporting the idea that they are beyond help, deeply flawed and have no capacity to have any agency in their lives. This costs society a great deal in so many ways, not only materially. Yet it is clearly profitable for those who make money from labelling people with conditions and providing 'solutions' exclusively in terms of medications. It also funds spin-off industries like 'Disability Assessment'. I felt as though I was being trained to turn off empathy and forget anything I know about non-medical, functionally based therapeutic intervention.
I am not surprised at all. As someone who went through the UK system and assessed for pip last year and won on appeal, this is true and they only care about your physical health - proving you deserve benefits on MH grounds might as well be impossible unless you've been hospitalised - they only care how many meds you are on. In UK it's impossible to access secondary care MH services. Been on antidepressants since 2006 and I had to break down completely with a fatigue condition before I got real help from NHS.
I got turned down by the assessment process in the Uk for PIP, I think it was. Although trying my best to articulate my difficulties in life on the application form, suffering long term from being diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia, and on the usual meds. I scored a big fat zero on the points scale. As usual, the girl conducting the assessment was very nice and pleasant indeed. I still fail to comprehend how I could score "zero". Well, at least I've saved someone somewhere, some money. So I guess that's all that matters!
Yes! The Medical Model holds sway, and childhood trauma counts for nothing in determining why someone’s life is dysfunctional. This looking away from the most obvious source of people’s suffering keeps the whole obtuse, profit-driven, callous industry in place. It’s a human tragedy.
Do you believe that society is ordered? I think it’s pretty hard to say it isn’t ordered in some way after all, we have laws, rules, norms and expectations that keep people behaving in predictable ways. This is order and when an individual has a personality trait that conflicts with this ordered way of living that is by definition a personality disorder. I think it is possible to understand this and also think the medical/academic complex we have has completely gone off the rails in trying to bring order to peoples lives.
I was prescribed anti depressants at 15yrs old and have been since I’m now 38. I have had severe addiction issues throughout my adult life, all mostly prescribed. In the last year I have realised that they can’t help me and I’ve taken myself off the 26tablets I was prescribed and also the methadone programs I’ve been on for 7yrs all against the advice of the doctors. I’m actually currently in withdrawal at home alone with my 3 children because it’s better than them controlling my every move. I’ve followed their advice to the letter and I’m no better so it’s time to take it back. And you know what?! When I told them I didn’t want the methadone anymore they called childrens services on me. Even though I had been supplying them with clean (only prescribed) urine samples for over 7yrs and I’d never ever broken a rule. Thankfully I knew they would do a week prior I had contacted services and warned them it was coming. And I’ve offered to give a hair test to prove what I’m saying. They gatekeep my access to the psychologist that I had seen every week for a year when I started asking to come off. Funny that. The whole thing stinks they’re in the game of keeping people down.
So sorry to hear of your journey but encouraged by your conviction and strength. B6, folate free b12, and zinc picolinate ended my addiction craving after 15 years of being poly drugged.
OK, deeply personal experiences here. I am a Psychiatric Nurse and the first book I read from the hospital library was Thomas Szaz "The Manufacture of Madness" which is part of the canon of anti psychiatry from within. So, I have always been a sceptic about the medical hegemony that is psychiatry. 45 years later I am still in Mental Health service delivery but through several iterations and have developed even more scepticism about the models of "treatment" (a term which infers people are broken somehow). I prefer to use the term Mental Distress. However, at age 33 I experienced a depressive episode and needed medication for a term. I went about 10 years after treatment but then had further experiences. I have gone off and on medication (I am the same as everyone and resent needing it) and find that I am more functional and don't experience the rage against myself when I consistently use it. I would love to not need the SNRI but it is expedient and allows me to be useful to others as well as a bearable human for my family. Then, my daughter suffered post partum depression and was suicidal. We supported her through that with the use of antidepressants and low dose antipsychotics, but mostly family love, and now she is well and has an amazing bond with her daughter. It was the most frightening experience of my life to read her suicide notes; much more frightening than experiencing my own desire to end my life. End of story is that I am grateful for some aspects of psychiatry and psychopharmacology because they can be life savers, BUT there needs to be a longer term approach, individualised, and which does not need to pathologise those who are struggling to cope with life's vicissitudes.
Whenever I hear that somebody committed Suicide I always think what drug was that poor person on So angry at the medical profession for hurting all these people who go to them for help
And to think that these bogus doctors can over-medicate someone to magically not want to kill themselves yet they don't consider that when the person leaves hospital, they can still do it! they think suicide is not a conscious decision, they think medicine will stop someone from making conscious decisions. I dislike all doctors now. Yes, all doctors. Even the supposedly decent ones don't get my trust. I went from hating the Bible, to now loving the Bible. I get that there's a lot of controversy because there's so many religious books out there, so I'm settling with the Bible because I'm the most comfortable with that book. I'm so glad I'm reading it again. The only time I'll ever see a doctor now which does not include yearly checkups, is when there's a physical problem that can be verified either through some kind of scan or x-ray or it's visible to see. I will never tell them how I am, I'll just keep saying I'm fine thanks. They only need to know about scientific facts, not emotional stuff or non-physical stuff. So nothing spiritual. at least if they do any medical treatments without my consent, I know I'm still not actively complying with what they're expecting of me and when I'm not under their control, I still refuse their treatments and I only ever take any treatment option if it's forced on me. i've decided not to give doctors any of my power any more. I just throw away any prescriptions I don't want and if they write me up for any medications, I throw away their scripts as well. they can threaten me all they like. I'm not giving them any of my power and even if I do get locked up again one day, they won't get any of my power because I won't speak to them. Doctors only have as much power as you are willing to give them. they also have no control over whether somebody lives or dies.
This is so true. The psychiatric system is a horror-show of harming language and even more harmful drugs. It is not a good thing for a human being to think of ones self as sick. It made me sick, if I weren't already. Thank you for speaking sense. There is so little wrong with us.. But society is right now not healthy for human beings.
You describe the situation so correctly. We live in a psychopathic society, and at this point in time, the medical sewer is causing most of the mental illness in our world. I worked in this pathetic system, and the fact that child psychiatrists are allowed to prescribe pharmaceutical speed to little children is absolutely criminal.
@@marilynmantis5409 thank you for your comment. It's naturally very painful and it feel cathartic to be understood. Kids cant sit still? Well.. if you told them what school really is they would not show up anymore.. Indoctrination. Learning by complying. Thank God for the wildness, the untamed children.
@@MIOLAZARUS I agree. We have been medicating our children for way too long. They need to experience nature, fresh air, nutritious natural food and healthy relationships to help develop complex coping skills to survive this nightmare that society has become.
Psychiatrists are good with crocodile tears at the beginning. Then they give out: disease-like labels, neurotoxic drugs and Triage modeled custodial debasement. There is no accountability in the psychiatric system, and this must change!
My therapist gave me medicine for mild anxiety (zoloft) that gave me mania and high anxiety and then tried to say I was bipolar. I went off it. I'm totally fine. This person gaslit me. For what reason though? Do they get paid more to prescribe?
I suffered horribly and know others who suffered and did not make it from these psychiatric drugs! I went manic from Wellbutrin, then put on Xanax, then Clonazepam, and. 5 year journey into utter Hell! Deep dark place! Wanting to take own life everyday! The suffering is unbearable, felt like I could not function in this world, or belonged! Insomnia, anxiety, fear, took 2 years off this drug for brain and me to feel normal again.
I Have lost six members of my family to the epidemic of opioids, including my mother four brothers and two sisters it went from street drugs to Pharma companies, pushing dope into the nation
This should be required knowledge of all mental health practitioners. To see how flimsy the basis of the "diagnostic manual" is no surprise to me. It should have a warning label stating that this is an opinion piece
My experience as a woman with a severe case of complex ptsd has demoralized me utterly. Psychiatric professionals have almost always dismissed my pain and pathologized all of my good traits--my empathy is "preoccupation with victimization," my love of my dog is "maladaptive attachment," my love of school is "the need for artificial strokes in a falsely structured environment." I have been drugged to the point of vegetative lethargy, obesity, blacking out when just trying to walk across the room, having seizures, drenching cold sweats, bizarre, terrifying nightmares, chronic digestive problems, dry mouth, etc. My ptsd symptoms are understood as sickness rather than reactions to a truly wretched life. The sexism is appalling. The meds do nothing other than cause relentless suffering, Psychiatrists say that sid effects don't exist. I have come to a point of having nothing but contempt for psychiatrists.
My wife was a victim of psychiatry. She was last year diagnosed with early onset dementia. She was over a timespan of 9 months hospitalized for 10 weeks, twice for 5 weeks. The second time she was basically imprisoned, during the weeks able to go outside for one hour only, and had one or two hot showers as the women’s section had no hot water. I visited her every day and she sat or lay in my lap crying for one hour. Every day. I could not discharge her as she was declared non compos mentis. Her diagnosis was made after a group of psychiatrists and psychologists reached consensus regarding a diagnosis. They changed their diagnosis on a monthly basis as well as her medication. My wife was in dire straits and became suicidal. The doctors insisted that was not caused by the medication and her treatment. Her treatment stripped her of her humanity - even being locked up in a dark room without any furniture, ablution, water, etc. Stripped of all her clothing, even underwear, under the claim that she would commit suicide with it.
End March she was discharged after 5 weeks in hell. Every month that I would take her for a checkup and receive medicine, she would become extremely depressed and fearful that they would institutionalize her again. Two months before her death, the psychiatrists declared that she did not suffer from dementia, as her memory was too good. We asked them to taper her medication and take her off it. They denied our request. We repeated this request a month later. My wife went through hell on the medication they prescribed. Once again they refused and bluntly informed us that she suffers from Alzheimers. Three weeks later, a week before her next visit to the clinic, she committed suicide.
I reject psychiatry and psychology today.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
She didn't commit suicide from any depressive disorder, but rather out of fear and hopelessness of having no escape from treatment which is very similar to the 'medical' (mal) treatment that auschwitz victims recieved.
It's this inhumane, dehumanizing, life destroying torture which should be illegal.
This kind of torturous maltreatment absolutely scary.
Those doctors should be locked up.
😢
Thats a tragic Story. Psychiatry doesn't heal people and often makes them more sick. Often you have doctors and nurses working there, that enjoy having power over others. I worked as a doctor in psychiatry in a german university clinic for a year and witnessed alot of inhumanity there. I worked in other departments later like surgery and internal medicine. The far most disturbed colleagues that it was very difficult to have a genuine connection to, were those in psychiatry department. I am a doctor myself, but I really tell everybody never ever trust a doctor blindly. They are human beings at the end and they can be wrong with their perspective. So alwaya trust your gut feeling and dont allow them to have power over you. What happened to you and your wife should never havw happened. Doctors should give advice or recommend a certain treatment, they are not allowed to have power or controle over any human being and should never act against the will of the patient or their families. I would bring this case to the court or media. The doctors should be held accountable for what they did to both of you. Thats not medicine, thats a crime!
This is so horrible
I worked as a psych nurse for years and eventually resigned, it was appalling the treatment that most people got. The movies present counsellors and psychiatrists really helping people with their wisdom and advice. In reality, this doesn't happen. In fact, in most cases, they are trained not to give advice. It's all such BS.
And that's why the movies show it the way THEY show it !
It's always like that ! The news lies and shows the opposite of what the truth is just like most govt given narrative.
@@AuntAlnico4 yep!
Yes agree. I work at a health centre & we are increasingly getting housewives overprescribed & addicted to psychiatric & pain meds. Their issue is mainly their husband being serial cheaters & gaslighting them about it. Instead of dealing with their marital problems they just become drugged shells. So the kids are physically being abandoned by their father who is spending most of his free time with other women & emotionally abandoned by their mother who is too doped up & numb to be present. These kids also get diagnosed with some mental disorder before they turn 12. Its a horrible cycle.
I am sorry. I do believe in the placebo effect. But I took medicine that caused me great pain outside of a hospital. Thank you for your honesty. Myself, I think that psychiatrists want fame a large paycheck. I wanted to be an engineer when I was eighteen, but my male chauvinist psychiatrist, Leon Cytrin, he told me that engineering is a man’s job. I was eighteen when I suffered two weeks of constant akathisia. Now that I am in my fifties, I wrote longer books than him. College doesn’t make someone smart. I know that I am intelligent. I have been verbally abused. Kids said that I looked stupid so I was studious. Leon’s wife Dr stupid Eileen Cytrin, she told me that kids who wear glasses are smarter and I didn’t wear glasses. So glad that I am not dealing with those horrible people anymore who I believe intentionally tried to ruin my life. If you had akathisia, you would understand.
And a few days ago, it has been reported that these drugs induce 'emotional blunting'.
Something we have been telling them for decades.
1: make people believe they are sick
2: sell them a drug, that allegedly cures them
3: make sure the drug only is a temporary cure
4: make sure the drug also causes new symptoms
5: sell them a new drug for the new symptoms
6: repeat indefinitely
Personality diagnosis does not require medications but some type of therapy.
7. If they try to quit, they will get severe withdrawal symptoms

Pathetic but very accurate! ☹😡
It is like saying if you tie someone up where they cannot move and feed themselves of get water and leave them that way, you are not guilty of murder. That is a clarification from the Techum or Talmud.
I am a medical physician who has worked in multiple psychiatric settings. One psychiatrist who rarely saw or spoke with his patients and would be able to pick out his patients from a lineup, confessed that he was paid for his daily attendance more if he prescribed or changed the dose of a med prescribed. So he always did such… whether pt needed or not. Unless potentially lethal side effects did not matter.
If a side effect could be treated by yet a second drug, it was a good day for billing. 1:mm33This is a very important reason why so many drugs are prescribed - and not just in psychiatry. Please expose this sinister mistreatment of ordinary people. It is a biggie.
Good for billing and financialization - long term! / A 1933 like Bankruptcy Reorganization could tame the financialization motive!
I agree with it
About 20 years ago, my friend Marie told me: "I am able to get money from the government, if I will take psychiatric drugs!" She did not even have a diagnosis! @@nishantpatil1799
My best friend recently committed suicide. 74 yo, VietNam vet (decorated), and the most kind and compassionate soul I might have known. He was "labeled" paranoid schizophrenic, and had endured time in a psych hospital where he and the other inmates were abused and given drugs that they couldn't function on. They finally let him out when he "agreed" that he was sick and needed to be on these horrible drugs forever. I think he was caring and loving and knew right from wrong and didn't accept the lies he had been told in life and he was being "corrected" for not following the rules of THEIR opinions. How many good, intelligent, self-aware people are in institutions because they had the guts to stand up and speak out about things they believe in? Way more than we can possibly imagine.
My stint in seeing a psychiatrist was to be given Klonopin which made things much worse, and it took NINE long years to wean myself off of this grotesque, mind altering drug, while being told by the psychiatric "care-givers" to "take more, you aren't taking enough". It's not for the meek or conscientious person to get into therapy, because you might end up dead.
He flew over the cuckoo nest .
I watched the psychiatrists kill my mother with their invasive treatments and psychotropic drugs. Eventually, she collapsed and died after taking them for years, These doctors are criminals hiding behind a mask and white coat. There was nothing wrong with my mother, it was the side effects of the medication that she was taking, but Instead of taking her off the meds, they kept prescribing more, till they made her sick and killed her.

Thank you for sharing your experience, I knew those things were dangerous and when the gp advised me pills for depression, l insisted l didn’t need pills and wanted to see a cbt practitioner, and they eventually let me have 12 session with a young cbt therapist who was brilliant, and it was the start of my mental healing.

I was on an antidepressant for thirty years. I lost my three closest family members in one year, and never shed a tear. I knew something was very wrong when I couldn't even cry. I slowly tapered off and am free of them for the first time since I was 30. I am old now, a life wasted on anti depressants.

You are not alone. Post partum depression is real. We are never taught we are able to get through this experience, that it is temporary. No, drugs are prescribed instead of the truth.
The drugs suppresses "LIFE"! Bless you for sharing.
I had anti depressants after my son drowned. I realized they only interfere with the grieving process and I stopped soon after starting them.

These medications are very dangerous. I took Zoloft and started having episodes of psychosis. The only thing that had changed in my life prior to these episodes was that I was put on that medication. I connected the dots and got off the medication and never again had anymore episodes of psychosis which could’ve landed me in the psych hospital and psychiatrists would’ve added more medications to get rid of the psychosis. Possibly would’ve turned me into a schizophrenic and labeled me “mentally ill.”

I remember when grief was considered normal/natural following a loss -- a process that took time (for many up to 5 years with loss of a strong bond). Now the very moment they learn a person has only just suffered the loss of a loved one, including a pet, even if the loss only just occurred yesterday, they want to diagnose that grief as "depression" and prescribe anti-depressant medications. It is as though any and all negative emotions are now deemed abnormal and something to be "fixed" or treated by popping a pill.
At one point, the DSM people were swayed by the argument that grief should not be pathologized, and they had a rule that you could not diagnose bereavement or depression after a death. That meant that people who had experienced grief could not go to a therapist or psychiatrist because that mental health professional was forbidden from billing for grief.
The DSM now allows behavioral health people to bill when they have somebody come into their office because they are overwhelmed and cannot function because of grief. Folks outside the field want to get rid of this, but I believe that people who experience grief and especially complicated complex grief should be allowed to have psychotherapy.
A general practioner gets paid a lot for every script written. That's how they make their continuous income.
Exactly 👍 💯 and it is important to GRIEVE fully and not suppress those emotions with pills to numb it down. I had 2 little dogs 🐕 they were in our family together (for approx 10 yrs together..and one for 18 yrs) when 1 died aged 11 years, the other howled whimpered and circled the dead dogs body for about 2 hours and kept nudging the deceased dog to try to wake him up. We left her having his body for several hours so that she fully understood he was gone and had her last cuddles with him (they were very bonded like husband and wife), and then we buried him. For the next 3 months exactly, our female dog was SEVERELY DEPRESSED? 😔 wouldn't even go outside even to the toilet unless I was RIGHT by her SIDE. She could be alone, NOT even for a couple of minutes.. and she followed close to my feet for 3 LONG MONTHS to the point of my almost tripping several times.. then 3 LONG MONTHS LATER.. I opened the front door one morning to accompany her outside as usual, so she would urinate...and low and behold.. she SKIPPED out the front door and RAN all around the garden ALL ON HER OWN, not needing me by her side any longer. Suddenly, after 3 long months, her heavy grief had totally lifted over night..she was 11 yrs then and she went on to live to be 18 years of age. (RIP 🙏 BINGO, West Highland terrier girl 18 yrs and RIP 🙏 Bran her husband who died aged 11 yrs).
The moral of these precious dogs is EVERYONE NEEDS TO FEEL EMOTIONS NOT BLOCK THEM OUT. Only then true healing comes back. 🙏 🤲

During my 73 years and countless interactions with whitecoats, I was NEVER asked if I had experienced any concussions (TBIs), but I was diagnosed with many mental illnesses. I had 12 memorable TBIs and numerous "milder" concussions. Each major TBI changed me and changed my life, pretty much permanently. I do not enjoy being slow to process, but in my opinion, it's better than being labeled a paranoid schizophrenic, an original diagnoses that terrified me for decades. Today, I am convinced that Big Pharma IS a criminal enterprise, and as such should be viewed with great skepticism, especially when it is one of the main drivers behind "mental illness". Thanks for the eye opener.

Medication is only to maintain control over you. I took 150 mgs of Zoloft everyday for 25 years. A tragic mistake as it did not at all relieve my depression. I cut it cold turkey and for a few months, experienced moments when my mind was like a radio receiver changing channels. I would just realize that my brain was being 'adjusted' like a radio receiver. While taking Zoloft, I was unable to feel anything to heal. It was just a completely unemotional human trying to survive and amazingly, I did.

Psychiatry is the biggest crime in the history of the entire humanity.
Absolutely correct, as proven by the data in the book "Experts Catastrophe", with 36 graphs and hundreds of scientific refs. From Amazon or booksellers, best get hardback. Or free chapters find by websearch. The data show (CONFIRMED PREDICTIONS) that vast majority of psychiatry (and chronic disability) has been caused by dental mercury.

My psychosis was ALWAYS chemically induced! The only times in my life I've ever experienced psychosis & extreme paranoia was on psych meds. Agrophobia as well. I have PTSD from what these drugs have done. I have to work through the agrophobia because my body remembers the trauma I experienced before. I'll start shaking uncontrollablely out of nowhere & get dizzy. It's my body remembering & reacting to past trauma. I'm having to work on rewiring things. Driving too. I'm still working on that. It's a process but yoga is helping me tremendously with everything! That and art therapy. I'm healing.

Thank you. This topic is of great interest to me, as a 64 year old mother, I have observed how ineffective most of big pharma's methods have been for all chronic conditions, mental and physical.
I worked in mental health and used Bowlbys attachment theory while writing reports on people with mental health problems . Discovered how a child's development can be affected by abuse and neglect when younger and can have an impact on later life . Some people's lack of support in times of adverse life experiences and the attachment style when younger can have a significant impact on how they deal with experiences where they are described as having a mental disorder or problem . Had to leave as people were being turned into zombies !
Spot on.
Psychiatrists and their pharma cohorts should be arrested prosecuted and jailed for the harm they have caused to millions.

Some of it can be categorized as criminal - money laundering is common with Big Pharma using Doctors to take bribes to launder drug money that are classified as studies so its okay they can just take cash for that - and they sell the drugs and give the money back.. so even the illegal drug stuff and war in Afghanistan and heroin - its all connected.
I was on some antidepressant or another and not experiencing suicidal ideation AT ALL at or around that time. I went out with a girlfriend one evening and had a couple of glasses of wine, came home, pulled the car in the garage, closed the door and proceeded to leave the car running as I began writing a suicide note. I had the music on in the car which woke my roommate up causing her to come ask me to turn it down. If not for that I’d be dead now. I immediately weaned myself off the meds. Who the hell needs a med SOOO potentially destabilizing that you can’t dare have a glass or two of wine without effectively playing Russian roulette in the process? No thank you. Big pharma has a LOT to answer for across the board.

Pharma is good at defining mental categories, and also good at exporting them. India did not suffer from "depression" until recently. When big pharma noticed they were not selling drugs there, they started a campaign to show people, especially middle class women at home that they might be "depressed". It became a fashion to get diagnosed and prescribed drugs. Odd that they managed without them for thousands of years before.
It's not odd at all. it's common sense that any chemicals are not good for the body. people will do anything for attention and play out their depression as a virtue. Anxiety and depression are the dis-eases humanity is the most proud of.
@@s.muller8688 Yes of course. I was speaking ironically. "Drepression" is a very real thing. But it seems to me that there are lived reasons that you get depressed and you need to figure those out and act on them, rather than take a drug to make it go away.

Diagnosed with a mood disorder in 2015. Took heavy medication for 6 years and my brain was so numb. I was sleeping for 10 hours a day. Could not speak to anyone properly, my hands and lips would shake involuntarily. A doctor (and not an ordinary one - the Head of Psychiatry at one of the biggest hospitals in North India) told me to never get excited or celebrate or get too emotional. I was "told" to be a zombie life and no one cared how I felt. Everybody wanted to "fix" me.
The medicines just made me incredibly hungry, sleepy and dulled my mind to the point that I felt like a drone.
I was diagnosed bipolar and put on all manner of drugs that numbed and crushed the life out of me. I came off all drugs after some years and gradually healed with art therapy, dreamwork, nature. Psych drugs can do immense harm , the folly of our time. If antidepressants worked people would not stay on them for ever.
@@jennilevine6944 My advice avoid them like the plague.
@@angelawilliamson6765 Yes I do agree, in fact nowadays I have helped people slowly come off psych meds and find healing . Having been down that rabbit hole I know the way out!
Dr. Peter Breggin calls all psych medications "neurotoxins".

I am grateful you are here & if any one ever tries to diagnose you again with a mental illness you numb their voice & ask truly ask your higher self what is really coming forth in me. What abilities am I developing & educate yourself on all the toxins, preservatives & chemicals in foods & products. People with ADHD have been targeted for cyber security jobs.
I will never forget that woman in Houston, mother of 5, who was on several medications for depression, killed her 5 kids and called the cops saying that she was “protecting them from demons”. It turns out that after years of taking meds, she said that things were getting worse not better, and then her new doctor took her off the meds and told her to think positive. Then all of that happened. It was the most terrifying history I ever heard in my life, and since then, I became very skeptical of meds.
Sad people need to take up aesthetic training and physical fitness!
You can't coldturkey those drugs!!! The doctor is a lunatic!!! It's so important to give informed consent and also be trained in safely tapering people of their drugs...

Sometimes it feels like a jolt of lightening going through my whole body and out my hands. Sometimes my knees will slam together and I have to put a pillow or something to cushion them.

About 20 yrs ago I started taking Prozac for stress and mild depression, I just wanted to "feel good". I did feel ok (not better) for about a week, then I started having full-blown anxiety attacks which led me to the hospital because I couldn't breath and my heart would pound out of my chest, I thought I was having heart attacks. After about a week of this level of anxiety I then became sadly agoraphobic. I stopped driving, I stopped going to the grocery store or any other store... I was terrified of going outside my front door, and that lasted for about four years. My return to society was very gradual and depressing, always 1 step forward and two steps backward. There is so much more I could say about my experience of that SSRI, all-in-all it stole 15 yrs of my life, and today, I still live with low-level GAD. I am now TERRIFIED of all pharmaceuticals!

@@jimholland7622 right??
It started when I was 14. I was very emotionally damaged. I knew I had problems but didn't know how to fix them. I saw a psychologist on a fairly regular basis. As I got older I discovered drugs and alcohol. These numbed the pain but were destroying my life in many ways. I ended up pregnant at 25. Out of fear I married a man who nearly destroyed me. This lead to hospitalization and medication. This went on for years. More hospitalizations and way more medicine. After 2 more children I finally snapped I gave up everything he didn't approve of. I left him and found a wonderful man who literally saved my life. There were times I was taking up to 14 pills a day. Antidepressants, antianxiety, mood stabilizers, and an assortment of other meds. This was messing me up severally. My new husband came in to the psychiatrist s office and tore him up. He said you're over medicating her. After that he came with me to my appointments. Even then I was hospitalized 4 more times. The worst came when I almost died because they weren't testing me properly and shut down my parathyroid glands. I had to have surgery It was all very traumatic. I ended up addicted to pain meds. Opiates have the effect of a false sense of well being which was better than no sense of well being. Now I'm 63 I'm diagnosed as bi polar. I'm on 1 medication which was developed for seizures and doing very well. If not for my husband I'm positive I'd be dead

Does anyone really think they will get honest, accurate info?
The pharmaceutical companies are in the medical schools, the entertainment business, etc. they are everywhere.. it’s all about money. Create a medicine and a condition for the medication to treat. It’s totally insane.
After investing years and 100k + for med school they demand high pay and high profits guarantee that.

I was going to school to become a psychologist, after almost 2 years and learning about how to keep customers returning on a regular basis and not curing them but keep it on going I quit. The fraud from how it started and how it felt it needed more and making them up. It was disheartening to say the least.
I'm studying psychology and this video has only reinforced my desire to study it. You're logic makes little sense. "I went to become a mechanic, but when I learned that there were a lot of broken mechanisms and no one was fixing them, I decided not to fix them either"
@@CaptainShenanigans42No, you study psychology because you are bad at mechanisms. What he said is " I went to be a mechanic; ut when I realized it was engineers who broke the mechanisms, I left"
This is why i love youtube cause you can always learn something new youtube to me is like a school cause their is so much knowledge that i learnt that school would never teach me
This is only the tip of the iceberg: the true horror of psychiatry can only be appreciated if you hear the rest of the story - for example how disability due to 'mental illness' has rocketed since psychiatric medicine came onto the market in the early 1950s and continued to mushroom when the second generation came in the late 1980s: how long term outcomes are FAR BETTER when someone never takes an anti-psychotic according to numerous trials (such as by the World Health Organization and National Institute of Health): how antipsychotics cause brain shrinkage and structural abnormalities - and it goes on. To hear all this research see lectures by Robert Whitaker, of which there are many - or you could buy one of his books like Anatomy of an Epidemic (recommended) or Mad in America (I know less about this earlier book). It justifies Breggin's claim that one of the most dangerous things you can do in the Western world is see a psychiatrist.
omg are u ever right. and besides all that they act like spectators at a witch burning whenever they can, illegally notwithstanding...get someone kidnapped and locked in somewhere. It's $$ooooo lucrative, In my state specifically, the top richest people are MALE SHRINKS.
Also here's something else nobody wants to hear...with a more nurturing society there would be a NORMAL amount of "genetic" diseases (psychiatric that is) instead the inflated amount of supposedly hopeless untreatable conditions like oppositional defiant disorder and seasonal blues. Malingering in prison. Not enjoying our torture session. Whatever...Go get the books if u don't believe me. They wrote a lot about this stuff in the fifties, and before and way after. Not anymore. By the way Spitzer's bestselling "DSM 3"- included "Factitious Hysterical Psychotic" episode is maybe what happens when the police arrive at a domestic violence incident and they decide to believe the violator and not the violated...too bad for her, right? THAT started in 1980, the women's movement was over, apparently, and no justice for them in the courts cause their little problem was no doubt "factitious" (fake). Too bad for the women who end up dead from not being believed though...80 more new such psycho "diseases" were stuffed into that book by that guy Spitzer, 1980 and onward. Draw your own conclusions about the larger message to we the people...
My grandmother was lobotomized in the early fifties! Great idea!!!!!!!
Thanks for the book recs, going to check them out. I also recommend James Davies books (one came out 2021)
I've gotten off all my medications that I was on for 11 years. Figured out how to fix my insomnia, so I could get off of them. Cymbalta made me feel drunk; not sure how I drove to work, but I had to sleep at work until the med wore off, and I took the med at night before I went to bed. Lyrica slowed my speech down. I get sick from Oxy, Perc, etc. I get sick after I wake up out of surgery. Took my daughter off Adderall 15mg XR, because it caused her cholesterol and triglycerides to sky rocket, and as she has gotten older, she has gotten better at school without any medication.

Dude you are not your label... If choose you must, at least choose a grandiose one.
@ God, what words would you use to describe yourself if you were poly-drugged with psychiatric drugs for 35 years with ECT's and due to the side effects, adverse effects & constant withdrawal symptoms stuck in the revolving door to psychiatric hospitals, emergency rooms, intensive care units, treatment centers, burn units, AA & jails. During those 35 years as psychiatry rams your central nervous system through the meat grinder taking away your ability to work, your memory, ability to love, enjoy sex, it takes your children, your job, your sanity, your spouse, it alienates yourself from your soul, and then it takes your home leaving you homeless. After you've been forced to endure ALL of these withdrawal symptoms ALL at once, not one at a time, tell me the correct 'label' to use.

I'm old enough to remember when there were non of these diagnoses. We simply had to get on with life. Although, I have to say, our family support was much stronger in the 60's, 'cos our elders lived and died at home too. We also had some extremely depressed 'stiff upper lipped' males in our families, suffering from what we now know is PTSD, not to mention poverty. Upon reflection, we were closer, happier and generally mentally healthier than people are today. We were also taught how to sew on a button, darn a sock, cook, and look after babies. Boys learned how to mend shoes, grow vegetables, carpentry, and generally useful tasks pertaining to their lives. We were too busy to spend time thinking about our personal feelings. There was inevitably something else happening like a new addition to the family, a nearby coalmine accident etc.
@Patrick Chadwick - Back in those days poor mental health was prevalent also. There was no shortage of very sad, dysfunctional families. Things have not gotten any better with regards to mental health, but I'm not sure they are any worse either?
Most of these diagnosis’s don’t exist, they’re bullshit. They’re dumb.
@@montesa9136 Actually epidemialogical studies were done before the first psychiatric medicines arived in the early 1950s, and psychiatric conditions were far, far less common, but also a) disability due to mental health has increased manifold over the last 50 years and c) the long term outcomes for psychiatric illnesses have gotten much worse over the period. These are the facts. See Robert Whitaker - Anatomy of an Epidemic for all the research.
Wonderful to hear your account there, but dear Patricia Chadwick, what went wrong?? We've lost so much, not just over the last century, but over the last 500 years. Sure we've gained much - most of it unwelcome - but the losses were invisible: we lost the tribe, we lost Mother Nature, we lost the extended family, the neighbours, often we lose our family and friends, and end up chocking in loniness or superficial or impersonal relationships. These are aweful times to my eyes: truly dystopian. These are dangerous and ugly times, and I really wish I could have lived at a time when we still felt one with nature. That would have been almost heavenly: add a humanity within which all creatures loved and cared for all other creatures, and there is utopia, heaven on Earth. Why couldn't we have built that? It's not through anything we lack - it's this phenomenon of egoism, selfishness, which has really muchroomed over the last 60 years - and this tendency, this pathological greed and self-centeredness is to me more like an illness rather then a crime, so I don't mean to judge. I think it's all related to the traumas we have continually generated as part of our industrial social developement and how this thwarted and confused our psychological developement as a people. But anyway, thanks for this bit of Christmas past! :D
@@zeroxox777 @Whoever The Person - I don't doubt what you say. I'm not saying medications are a silver bullet, they're definitely not. But they are the only practical, affordable treatment we have
I protested against my diagnosis. My psychiatrist claimed I was non-compliant with medication, even though I had had horrible side effects. I never got good counseling or real financial help.
I ended up in hospital after I left my abusive husband and lost my son to leukaemia.
I also had childhood abuse and trauma.
The answer was antidepressant, even though I almost had a stroke from serotonin syndrome previously.
my generation called psychiatrists brain butchers little did i realise how true that is.
Thank you for bringing this hidden information about psychiatry and the DSM to light. It's a very brave and very necessary task for which I commend you. As a former psychotherapist, I totally agree that psychiatry, it's diagnosis and treatment, are about POWER. Many so-called professionals are on a power trip and ironically have mental health issues of their own. It's truly a sad state of affairs when a profession, which professes to help people, often only pathologizes them.
They hear what they think, NOT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID. I have seen this in my medical records. What a shame as what they write is written in stone. You can only add an addendum!!! SAD, SHAMEFUL. GOD HELP US, PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏
In my opinion you have to remember that the psychiatric field is who the current crop of psychotics running the country have justifying their greed and stupidity. All psychiatrists will diagnose someone with hoarding disorder, when's the last time a psychiatrist diagnosed a politician for lying too much? Or a crooked as all hell loan guarantor for hooking people into subprimes that turned out well for him but not well for any of his clients? Or diagnosed insurance company lawyers with chronic dishonesty, figuring out how to sell employers so-called health care insurance for employees with a $3,000 deductible. If that isn't criminal I don't know what is
They are incels who changed the defition from pedophelia from paraphelia to "orientation", they silence medicate and falsely diagnose victims of abuse. Its the biggest power trip using pseudo science ever. MIND CONTROL
Meanwhile they ruin people's mental and physical wellbeing with their voodoo pharmakae. Meanwhile they'll never poison themselves or their families with it. They only medicate and rip off people who are poorer than them. Bc all shrinks are snake-oil salesman. Nothing more.
An associate of Peter Breggin - Peter Gotzsche uses the term Organized Denial, when he leads a discussion about psycho-pathologizers. I like Hubristic Denial even better! / How many inpatients {especially women} gain huge amounts of weight while their locked-in?
My ex wife was seeing help she was going weekly to see a medical psychiatrist. What I had noticed With in 3 to 6 Months. She lost her sence of self and mentally she was acting like a high schooler. The person I lived with for over 20 years i noticed was no longer available. She had taken on a different personality. She trusted these so called perfessionals . Not every perfessional nore every person will have your best interest in mind.
Sounds like a horrible end of your relationship? Didn‘t you manage to get her self back by reducing the drugs slowly? However I am very sorry that you also saw a part of this abusive psychiatric-system!

I didn't take it either. Its my fu*king body is all I know and I know how to prevent colds and other infectious/viral respiratory illness. Didn't stop the hospital from giving me a 3 month mystery virus in 2020 that almost ****** me The police thought I was such a nuisance when I called them back in massive GI agony 10 days later. Probably antibiotic poisoning in fact. Point is the joint didn't give a **** **** what happened to me after they got paid for an easy little bone job
Ah, another one who thinks covid is safe.
The laws need to be revised so that victims of psychiatry can finally have justice.
What would that justice be?
Wholeheartedly agree! These victims of psychiatry are treated as sub-human, their plight is neither a popular or fashionable cause, and the vested interests - mostly financial interests - are simply too influential. Thank goodness for people like Doctor James Davies, who at least can offer a modicum of hope to those of us who would wish to see justice for the many harmed by our current methods of dealing with what are essentially natural responses to extremely difficult life experiences.
I want justice personal injury claim
@@mickizurcher Are you serious? If you have been injured by the actions or drugs given by a psychiatric care-giver that has caused you harm (or death) there should be restitution by these same care-givers for the injuries THEY CAUSED. Millions of people are dying at the hands of doktors.
@@annelijonssonannelijonsson Doktors are protected at all cost while the victims die silently and unheard. I wish there were better news.

At 65 I have been off of antidepressants for about 7 years. In a 15 year period I was on at least 11 different antidepressants and ended up in the psych ward 13 times because I was suicidal.

Drs don't seem to want to admit they're wrong . Instead they push more on you. What a farce.
Also when you're in patient it's time to leave not based on whether you're well instead it's time to check out when your insurance runs out.

@@franrushie1383 and
One time I hurt my hand playing softball. HR sends me to their doctor. He gave a diagnosis. I was also permitted to get a second opinion. The doctor I chose concurred. I chose to have my surgery with the doctor I went to for a second opinion. The other doctor became angry and tried to change the severity of my injury. Stating I did not need surgery. I thought wow, are doctors lying to their patients. The bad thing about it, I couldn't bring it to the attention of anyone because they weren't going to do anything about it. I would have to hire a lawyer and I couldn't afford it. These types of doctors need to be held accountable for malpractice.
I experienced the same thing years ago. I was pressured into a wrist surgery that I later discovered wasn't necessary. A simple cast had sufficed.
The surgery led to complications which almost caused me to lose my arm -amputation was considered!
What learned was that in my country the doctors are paid very little for base pay and only survived financially if they performed surgeries. So therefore the doctors will try to convince everyone that surgery is needed in the case of any slight bone fracture from accidents.
I had suppressed trauma as a child ,then it created over thinking, stomach issues, fear, insecurities, created long standing debilitating anxiety..self medicated with drugs, then prescribed pain killer. For years I was taking trazadone xanax,ssri, gaba, and pain killers. During the pandemic I did sleep guided meditation at my home, 4 nights and one morning later I woke without anxiety. My usual wake and take my meds, I stopped cold turkey. Its been 2 yrs. No anxiety and no meds. I felt betrayed
Can you share what sleep guided meditation you did? I would be very grateful.
Same here. I was prescribed antidepressants, amphetamines, Xanax and morphine and Percocet for 10 years for a fibromyalgia diagnosis. I was drugged and stayed indoors. My vitamin D level was a 10. After my mom died I decided one day that I didn’t want to be medicated and stopped taking my meds. I would wake up early and go spend time in the Sun while I was experiencing heavy withdrawals. That was 18 months and I’m a completely different person. Changed my diet and started going on long walks. It sucks changing at first but well worth it in the long run.
@@jenniferpetty5238 Everyone needs to be on a high dose vitamin D. I have heard of many patients who were helped by simply getting their vitamin D levels to an acceptable blood level.
No anxiety?
@@remotefaith I drank lots of lemongrass and Passion flower tea to help the anxiety. Also took b complex and extra b1 (thiamine) the first few months. It’s rough but I’m starting to feel mentally like myself again instead of reaching for the meds. I don’t have that pit in the stomach anxiety anymore. And natural sunlight has been shown to naturally raise serotonin levels too. Hope this helps.
These psychiatrists have a lot of power. They can certify you as crazy and have you detained for as long as they think is good for you. Stay away from them unless you are really desperate.
There’s no money to detain people for a long time anymore. There’s no money for adequate treatment of mental health issues. Reagan broke the mental health system. Encouraging people not to get the help they need for psychological problems because of fear of being locked away is irresponsible.
They certify you as crazy, instead of figuring out 1 or 2 deep seated problems and then providing guidelines for a better lifestyle - which should be their moral mission. Most psychiatrists refuse to circumvent Standard of Care ethics!
Agreed. People shouldn’t fall for this scam: “If you are struggling come forward and we’ll help you” Never fall for this scam! The whole strategy is to make people feel a bit more comfortable and put them at ease so they can come forward and basically fall into their hands. I’ve heard dozens of stories of people who went to ask for some advice and they ended up locked up for months and some even years. It shouldn’t be like this. You should have a trial by a jury. Not a medical trial! We aren’t under medical dictatorship are we? So therefore people should get a fair trial. That way sectioning can be scrutinised as it should be! But no! Instead you’re left at the mercy of individuals who know each other in one way or another and who work together against you.. all while saying it’s for your own good.
To nudge people,on any level,is to assume that you know better than they do about what’s best for them. Who finds this acceptable?

I knew this was the problem with the DSM twenty years ago, it's not news. Any reasonable person would have investigated the basis for taxonomy and criticized it. It is another reason TCM is superior, as they diagnose and treat all "psychiatric" diseases as physical disorders with predictable etiologies and standards for treatment.
I only have a minor in organic chem and I figured it all out easily. I'm also good at math and method, having done it for a living.
I checked my conclusions with 2 PhDs and was told that I got it right.
Conclusions:
Don't take any new psychoactive drugs because they are not tested properly.
Don't take any new pain medications for the same reasons.
If you really need a medication, do your research and take the oldest effective one.
Morphine, for example.
Except when you're suicidally miserable and you have tried all the old drugs this plan goes in the toilet. I love how people think that you can cure your depression with their good old homespun horse sense.

Psychiatry registrar from Australia here. Impressive investigative journalism and very worthy criticisms of the field. However, I didn’t find any helpful or realistic suggestions on what could have been done better or what I can do as a psychiatry doctor moving forward. Common theme of the anti-psychiatry movement: here are the problems but don’t ask us how to improve them.
For those interested it took about 15-20 min into our psychiatry terms as medical students to appreciate the limitations of the DSM and we are trained to build a biopsychosociocultural and spiritual management plan for people’s psychiatric concerns. We do our best to focus on the narrative not the label.
Then he didn't discuss trauma work and somatic brain rewiring. Both are a new paradigm in healing new psychiatrists need to learn about. No-one asks patients what happened BEFORE symptoms began - and there is always trauma. Read psychiatrists and doctors who have given up on drugs that harm more than they heal, and are working with what DOES help: Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk, James S. Gordon, Dr Gabor Mate, Peter Levine, Dr. Stephen Porges. I myself developed insomnia and pain from fibromyalgia, and was prescribed clonazepam and elavil - which disabled me for 20 years. No-one asked what might have caused the symptoms - 19 major stresses, 4 of them traumas. Only when I tapered OFF the drugs and face old trauma and grief did I recover 80% from 5 incurable diseases.
Meditation, dancing, Chi Gong, long walks in nature, CBT, DBT, Family and Internal Family Systems, all work vastly better than drugs. Psychiatry need to come out of the dark ages and into the wondrous world of self healing. Even after 54 years with CFS/ME and fibromyalgia, I am still recovering and hope to recover fully! Somatic tracking, brain rewiring, neurofeedback, Dr. Porges's listening protocol, all help vastly better (with studies that prove that) than harmful and dangerous medications - that even when they work often stop working within 1-3 years, then the patient discovers they are almost impossible to quit as there are hellish withdrawals worse than alcohol, crack cocaine, and heroin combined - as they can last for years. But we CAN recover, our brains DO heal, and there is lots of wonderful work we can do to help ourselves!
The psychiatrists who have worked to heal their OWN trauma make the best healers. They've found new ways to truly help and heal. I hope you join them.
Psychiatry as a career attracts narcissists. Control other people, make money, be admired. A scene from the movie "Hellraiser" comes to mind - ("THE DOCTOR IS IN!")

Yes! I just had a physical a few weeks ago. I filled out all of the checklists honestly saying that I'm tired all the time and I can't concentrate and I don't have any energy. I fully believe I have adrenal fatigue, but the doctor told me I tested mildly for depression and started telling me about Zoloft and Wellbutrin! I couldn't believe it. What a waste of time.
We have to become experts concerning our own body and health indeed.
omg. Can't even be tired without being depressed. Suggestion: try a carnivore diet for a months and see how you feel. I've been on it for a year and will never change my diet again. It is miraculous.
Did anyone ever consider that childhood trauma results in all psychological “diagnoses”. We ALL have within ourself the ability to self regulate and heal ourselves. Read The Body Keeps The Score. Buh-bye Doctors and pharmaceuticals
Yes!
Actually, it's the duty of our parents/caregivers to regulate our emotions as children. A parent (usually a mother) naturally connected with her child by an emotional bond will have no difficulty in doing this.
Children calm down by being hold to the chest and listen to their carer heartbeat, this kind of therapy has been being used in dogs that were removed too early from their mothers, hold the animal near the chest and let it heat the heartbeat.
Imagine a mother that is disregulated due to anxiety, depression, stress..she naturally can't regulate her child, the child will get 2nd hand of what mother is experiencing.
I will definitely purchase this one. Thank you
Not just childhood trauma but also adult trauma such as war experiences, unhealthy relationships, and horrible events. Also food choices have a great effect if you don't feed your brain what it needs you will have issues such as malnutrition affecting anxiety.
Yes, Gabor Mate writes about this, look him up on here. Crappy Childhood Fairy is helpful for CPTSD.
I’m a practicing GP and my understanding was that when the DSM was created it was actually done because different psychiatrists and therapists did not have a common framework to communicate about patients so there were even more issues with subjectivity in diagnosis. They did not create it just for the heck of it and there were not a lot of drugs to prescribe then and Big Pharma was not that big then. Also when I offer a referral for counseling only about 20% of patients accept it and many just want something quicker like a pill which also allows the patient to avoid facing their tough stuff. I don’t like the whole DSM model because of the labeling of a complex person into over simplified categories. Also when I think about whether certain new diagnoses indicate over medicalization I think about how impairing the problem is to the persons level of function to avoid over diagnosis.
It seems to me that your linear rationalization is a convenient excuse to prescribe some drugs that you don't really understand.
In the early 90’s I wanted therapy and was refused it unless I was on medication. Which was evil and wrong of them .. I developed serotonin syndrome which put me on klonopin . Don’t blame the patient.
I am glad someone is coming forth with the truth. I always felt a knowing in my heart that there was an evil plot to harm people under the pretext of helping the people. Thanks for this exposure.

Kudos to you Dr. Davis for bringing this info into the open. I’m 77, and when I’ve taken a medicine that doctors prescribed, it always made it worse for me. It’s not only in the emotional psychiatric field that doctors are prescribing a bunch of medicines that only make your life worse and really miserable.

In a way, I think we all should be responsible for our health and not leaning on the doctors only.

Totally true. Also Psychiatrists in the USA must quote DSM5 labels to claim fees for treating patients.
Not 'Also'! that is the ONLY!!! reason why the DSM was created
And that is the problem. Nurses are trained in hospitals to relate symptoms to psychiatric mental illness. Therapist and Counselors are the names for Psychiatrist. And allowing them to become Holistic Psychiatrist and distribute the same drugs is against a human beings Rights.

Sounds like what happens at the Karen Horney clinic in NyC. People go there after sometimes suffering horrendous trauma and yet you can't see a therapist until you see the Psychiatrist who is assigned to the clinic for two days a month. The first thing that happens is that you are put on a revolving series of drugs until he finds the one that "clicks" for you. This is done before you have spoken a single word with your therapist. I knew that he was only in it for his pharma bonuses when my therapist moved to a new office. It would be months before i got an appointment with my therapist and a new psych. This previous doctor refused to continue my prescription until i was fully transferred and so i had to go off of my meds cold turkey after being on them for 3 yrs. He refused to help me.

So relieving to see that some critical thinking is starting to find its way out. This is music to the ears. Thank you The Weekend University for sharing this. Just got to SDPD and am so intrigued. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Psychiatrists vote in new disease-like Disorders. The DSM had 384 in 2011. After the Penn State coach molested children, # 385 was voted in - Histrionic Personality Disorder. The games of Psychiatrists must be brought to an end, since their machinations have a deleterious effect on everyone. This must be done by better informed lawmakers!
Nnnnoooo , not the DSM it is the doctor. You have to blame the physician. He she had to take care of you....
When my "crazy" grandmother got closer to dying, she decided to stop taking her meds. Not long after the fact; she snapped out of her madness and apologized for all the nasty things she said and did. Her doctor was just a pill pushing opportunist along with her psychiatrist. Over 30 years of needless emotional trauma caused by greed in the disguise of medicine.
This is how I studied Psychiatry: the: DSMIII , but I had no idea how it was made , it’s unbelievable! . But the most incredible thing is that the experts in psychiatry from the rest of the world - such as England, just adopted the manual and never questioned it .
Staggering! What a damning indictment of the entire 'profession.' I've watched their handiwork close at hand for over seventy years now. My mother, valedictorian of her high school class, had her first run in with bipolar disorder in 1932 during her college freshman year. She soon dropped out and ran a long lifetime gauntlet of episodes, doctors, treatment regimens, etc, etc, etc. She passed in 2005, age 90, due mostly to the loving care of her husband and children and despite the quackery of multiple medical incompetents along the way. From Thorazine's deadly dulling to lithium and Electro convulsive therapy's amazing effectiveness, I've watched and evolved from hope and awe at psychiatry as a child to disillusionment and disgust today.
Pam Popper was a star commentator in the 2008 video by the CCHR - Making a Killing, the Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging. She also states that frequent doctor visits - are not related to longevity!
My condolences my friend ❤🙏🏼
I’m so very sorry for your mother and your experience and pain. I am sorry for everyone including my daughter who died at 27 years old. In the process she/we became victim of the psychiatric community.
@@mysterydiaz5302 Very sorry for your loss. I'm reminded of Sir Winston Churchill's words: When you're going through hell, don't stop. I think our entire medical establishment, especially as it relates to treatment of mental illness, is going through hell just now.
We're in a time of discovery and invention in the treatment of mental illnesses. Medical research is peeling the onion, but it's a big onion. Like Thomas Edison declaring progress in the knowledge gained from 10,000 failed light bulb experiments, psychiatry is building an impressive pile of drugs and techniques that don't work. More eventually will and they will have benefited from the trials of our loved ones. The best to you.
The sad fact is than neither bla. bla. "therapy" or these drugs work, unless the patient believe they do. That leaves very ill patients in an impossible situation.
Bravo Dr. Davies! Your courage to make this expose gives me hope. But more than that, it give me someone to respect in this moral desert of modern culture! I hope in my own small realm I can live up to your example. Many of us have intuited these realities without the ability to confirm our deductions. Your labors and talent have filled this lugubrious gap. So many people I know are immediate victims of this rapine. Your eloquence is here so valuable to exactly define these acts and intentions! A thousand thanks!
I am in total agreement. On a side note, I admire your writing style.
I happen to lack 3D vision because my eyes don't line up properly. I didn't realise this when I was in my twenties at university. I started wondering why things didn't look 'real' or solid when I touched them. The university referred me to a psychiatrist who decided I was out of touch with reality and borderline schizophrenic. I went on tranquillisers for 11 years. It was only when I spoke to my optician that I realised what had been the actual problem all along.
I'd be really pissed off if I was you. Thanks for sharing this.
@@christinanielsen1917 The trouble was, I was very much into ideas and over-analysing things myself. I'd also assumed it was the way I was thinking and kept trying to find the answer in philosophy, instead of getting on with my coursework. We were all looking in the wrong direction, but what they did made it worse, because I lost all my motivation to do anything as well.. It was a horrible time. Thank goodness I mentioned it to an optician eventually. My dread is, if I ever end up in a care home. The history of 'mental illness' would come to light, making it more likely I go on tranquillisers again.
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen! Recently I noticed getting diagnosed bipolar was pretty popular! Thanks for the messages of truth. Thanks for all your research and effort to uncover the truth, the darkness.
Behind every labelled , diagnosed mental issue is a reason that put us there. Once we recognize the problem the issue disappears if we know how to process it. Much damage has been done to my family by labelling unfounded diagnosis that were due to domestic problems. Psychology is bogus and is a control thing by medicine and Pharmacy. Thanks for your video
Psychology itself isn’t bogus but the DSM and NIMH are. Many prominent psychologists and psychiatrists are trying to pass a diagnosis of complex-ptsd and focus on how trauma manifests later on as mental illness especially trauma from early childhood but the NIMH won’t allow this diagnosis because then people will be encouraged to heal instead of take pills. It would also pretty much erase most of the DSM-5.
Same for disease in our bodies! It makes me sick that doctors don't first go to diet. Its obvious there's no money in it.
@@kayleeallen3371 They will literally kill for one more ill gained p$$$ychiatric buck based on bogus diagnoses...cool plan for organized crime. Which in my opinion it is.
@@kayleeallen3371 Of course. Healing from child abuse is so perplexing. Takes time. I guess, people just naturally want to try and understand the what's and whys of what has happened. And possible rectifications which never will come. So the resulting damage has to be lived through, the after affects. As an adult, tumultuous getting through. Especially so no support. People understanding, believing or on same level. However, case of move on, really is so. I think.
@@kayleeallen3371 It has taken me 54 years to tell my Uncle that I remember his molestation of my 6 year old self. Of course, he doesn’t remember and tried to blame another instead. But, I’ve prepared myself for that reaction. Now, my remaining family might understand why I avoided family events for most of my adult life. If not, that’s ok. I’m ridding myself of toxicity. I will no longer live in silence. The damage was done long ago. Now, it’s time to heal with forgiveness, but never trust.
My own father was a neuroscientist specialising in mental health medications and the medical model. This did not stop him from getting me (an artist) diagnosed as psychotic and treated for nearly a lifetime with antipsychotics. I still have a psychiatrist after 45 years of being on antipsychotics. However, she says I am in remission but she will not support me in coming off my medication. I am trying to take myself off the damned stuff, doing it very slowly hoping to minimise withdrawal symptoms. Hopefully my brain has not been damaged too much to be able to enjoy my few remaining years (I am now age 66), and hopefully I will be able to do something useful with those years, as I have not been capable of achieving very much in my lifetime due to being medicated, despite studying psychology, sociology, social anthropology and fine art at university.
Your own father diagnosed you as a psychotic and gave you antipsychotic drugs?. That is insane.
@@capresti3537 no he didn't diagnose me himself.. he took me to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me on the strength of my father's false accusations about me.. the psychiatrist told me to take antipsychotice not my father.
@@cathynoble5269 Was your father a psychiatrist?. Why would he do this to you since he knows psychiatry is a dangerous pseudoscience?.
@@capresti3537 no he wasnt a psychiatrist. He was a neuroscientist - a neuropharmacologist to be exact (he researched various new medicines and found out how they affect the nervous system). He worked in the laboratories where chlorpromazine was invented in the 1950's and he truly believed that psychiatric medicines were safe and essential. I had enormous arguments with my father in my late teens and early 20's and he took me to see a psychiatrist and persuaded him to give me antipsychotics to calm me down. I have never been actually psychotic. The psychiatrist practically worshipped the ground my father walked on when he found out he actually helped invent the drugs and was teaching and researching at Cambridge University and he believed I was mentally ill because my father said I was. My father did not like opposition to his ideas and liked to control people, and because we had vastly different approach and outlook on life he just wanted to shut me up and keep me quiet about his research which involved animal experimentation..
@@cathynoble5269 Since he was a neuroscientist he knew very well psychiatry is a pseudoscience and the drugs are harmful. Seems he wanted control. I am sorry to say but you had a terrible father to take you to a psychiatrist and have you drugged. Most people who see psychiatrists have no idea it's a pseudoscience and their drugs causing the same symptoms they claim to treat. Basically psychiatrists induce and create mental illness with their drugs control their patient's and profit off it. It's a business not healthcare and it destroys lives. You can see the truth and facts about psychiatry at the CCHR website.
so pleased to be listening inn 2023 and to sharing real people to help people off these BIG Pharma drugs! what a real eduction. Thank You Dr James Davies to the Weekend University...
Big Pharna Big food Big government Big tech...
I have been a very tragic victim of this agregious scenario. After years of suffering and being over prescribed with these touted medications, I weaned off these medications which took courage and without the false help of a doctor. And I found freedom and happiness and mental health after a period of catharsis and natural stabilization. They would have killed my soul if not for my spiritual instincts.
I can relate to your comment.

Unlike you, Marianne Williamson and Wayne Dyer - most people do not have the divine spark to work their way out of this System!
@@stevekaylor5606 Wayne Dyer is no longer with us.
@@ziziscorsese9475 Yes, but he was sublime and led others. In his 1st book Your Erroneous Zones, he provided an example for others - " I am the Apple of my Eye and if you can be part of this - that's even better! " Imago Dei!
Very impressive! Patients should always judge their doctors by how openly they discuss about treatment possibilities with them. This is the first step for spotting a good doctor...
Patients don’t wanna hear this. They wanna keep taking their meds, don’t forget that. They watch commercials
@Alexandre Eisenberg - You make it sound like doctor shopping something a depressed person is capable of doing. It's NOT!
This guy is just spewing. None of this is relevant. The medications are just stimulants
Many areas are controlled by a single medical corporation and there are no alternatives to go to within driving distance and most can’t afford the time and money needed to properly look for a “good” Dr MD. Smaller cities and rural areas have limited options. There is way too much “scratching one anothers back” mentality in medicine.
Patient centered - not dogma + imbursement centered!
Thank you for your thorough research and courage in exposing so much hidden information.
Excellent work and a needed voice!
Absolutely sick.... I have completely abandoned any psychiatric treatment, they made me ONLY worse, wanted to force me higher doses for a longer time, even when I told them I felt ok again... I decided to treat my severe depression and three suicide attempts I had by myself by listening to philosophers, teachers and some doctors who do get it right. Some examples you can easily find anywhere in book from Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, Gabor Maté, etc. I focus on meditation, taking stressed away from my life and taking on a mindset that some of these people describe so equalently. Also - even though I do not recommend it - I have subjected myself to traditional natural medications (psychedelics) now a year later not taking anything anymore, not even psychedelics I am completely back to normal, have became more spiritual and live with much much less stress. Thanks for this great video 🎉 Sadly I lost complete trust in psychiatrists and psychologists... but what can we expect
Please try a carnivore diet. Even just for 1 months and see how that heals your brain and body. The brain is mostly fat. We need healthy fat! Butter and lard. No cooking oils, they are toxic and destroy the brain.
I'd like to expect Psy people to restore mental health!
Good but Toole is a Satanist.
Having engaged in early training to become Disability Assessor (for which I did not succeed to 'make the cut') - for receipt of statutory disability benefits in the UK, I have a number of observations related to this excellent presentation...
1. The medical diagnosis and list of medications a potential claimant was on was regarded as the primary indicator of the seriousness of someone's functional disability. It had the most potent decision-making influence on the way the claimant was seen. The whole of the assessment process failed, in my opinion, to really 'see' the person or to examine the real, underlying issues which drove their health challenges. They had largely been medicalised and medicated, but their human experiences and responses to these had, in the majority of cases, never been addressed or effectively treated.
2. People not helped (or actually impaired?) by medication interventions were largely considered to be beyond help - when to me (from an Occupational Therapy background) this did not appear to be the case.
3. The Disability Assessment industry is HUGE! It's contracted in by the UK government from American companies and some from other countries (Australia, if I recall). It's part of the industry of permanently pathologising people and supporting the idea that they are beyond help, deeply flawed and have no capacity to have any agency in their lives.
This costs society a great deal in so many ways, not only materially. Yet it is clearly profitable for those who make money from labelling people with conditions and providing 'solutions' exclusively in terms of medications. It also funds spin-off industries like 'Disability Assessment'. I felt as though I was being trained to turn off empathy and forget anything I know about non-medical, functionally based therapeutic intervention.
I am not surprised at all. As someone who went through the UK system and assessed for pip last year and won on appeal, this is true and they only care about your physical health - proving you deserve benefits on MH grounds might as well be impossible unless you've been hospitalised - they only care how many meds you are on. In UK it's impossible to access secondary care MH services. Been on antidepressants since 2006 and I had to break down completely with a fatigue condition before I got real help from NHS.
I got turned down by the assessment process in the Uk for PIP, I think it was. Although trying my best to articulate my difficulties in life on the application form, suffering long term from being diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia, and on the usual meds. I scored a big fat zero on the points scale. As usual, the girl conducting the assessment was very nice and pleasant indeed. I still fail to comprehend how I could score "zero". Well, at least I've saved someone somewhere, some money. So I guess that's all that matters!
Yes! The Medical Model holds sway, and childhood trauma counts for nothing in determining why someone’s life is dysfunctional. This looking away from the most obvious source of people’s suffering keeps the whole obtuse, profit-driven, callous industry in place. It’s a human tragedy.
@@meganbaker9116 Psychiatrists have purloined disease-like labeling from M.D. doctors!
There is no such thing as a personality disorder.
@DMCA This - I have a personality disorder
I’ve currently just learned this. Theyre literally just telling you that feeling normal human emotions means you have a personality disorder.
ABSOLUTELY agree!
Do you believe that society is ordered? I think it’s pretty hard to say it isn’t ordered in some way after all, we have laws, rules, norms and expectations that keep people behaving in predictable ways. This is order and when an individual has a personality trait that conflicts with this ordered way of living that is by definition a personality disorder. I think it is possible to understand this and also think the medical/academic complex we have has completely gone off the rails in trying to bring order to peoples lives.
Serial killers don’t have a disorder?
I was prescribed anti depressants at 15yrs old and have been since I’m now 38. I have had severe addiction issues throughout my adult life, all mostly prescribed. In the last year I have realised that they can’t help me and I’ve taken myself off the 26tablets I was prescribed and also the methadone programs I’ve been on for 7yrs all against the advice of the doctors. I’m actually currently in withdrawal at home alone with my 3 children because it’s better than them controlling my every move. I’ve followed their advice to the letter and I’m no better so it’s time to take it back. And you know what?! When I told them I didn’t want the methadone anymore they called childrens services on me. Even though I had been supplying them with clean (only prescribed) urine samples for over 7yrs and I’d never ever broken a rule. Thankfully I knew they would do a week prior I had contacted services and warned them it was coming. And I’ve offered to give a hair test to prove what I’m saying. They gatekeep my access to the psychologist that I had seen every week for a year when I started asking to come off. Funny that. The whole thing stinks they’re in the game of keeping people down.
So sorry to hear of your journey but encouraged by your conviction and strength. B6, folate free b12, and zinc picolinate ended my addiction craving after 15 years of being poly drugged.
Wondering how you are, really wish you well and hope you have found alternative more effective support.
OK, deeply personal experiences here. I am a Psychiatric Nurse and the first book I read from the hospital library was Thomas Szaz "The Manufacture of Madness" which is part of the canon of anti psychiatry from within. So, I have always been a sceptic about the medical hegemony that is psychiatry. 45 years later I am still in Mental Health service delivery but through several iterations and have developed even more scepticism about the models of "treatment" (a term which infers people are broken somehow). I prefer to use the term Mental Distress. However, at age 33 I experienced a depressive episode and needed medication for a term. I went about 10 years after treatment but then had further experiences. I have gone off and on medication (I am the same as everyone and resent needing it) and find that I am more functional and don't experience the rage against myself when I consistently use it. I would love to not need the SNRI but it is expedient and allows me to be useful to others as well as a bearable human for my family.
Then, my daughter suffered post partum depression and was suicidal. We supported her through that with the use of antidepressants and low dose antipsychotics, but mostly family love, and now she is well and has an amazing bond with her daughter. It was the most frightening experience of my life to read her suicide notes; much more frightening than experiencing my own desire to end my life.
End of story is that I am grateful for some aspects of psychiatry and psychopharmacology because they can be life savers, BUT there needs to be a longer term approach, individualised, and which does not need to pathologise those who are struggling to cope with life's vicissitudes.
Whenever I hear that somebody committed Suicide I always think what drug was that poor person
on
So angry at the medical profession for hurting all these people who go to them for help
And to think that these bogus doctors can over-medicate someone to magically not want to kill themselves yet they don't consider that when the person leaves hospital, they can still do it! they think suicide is not a conscious decision, they think medicine will stop someone from making conscious decisions. I dislike all doctors now. Yes, all doctors. Even the supposedly decent ones don't get my trust. I went from hating the Bible, to now loving the Bible. I get that there's a lot of controversy because there's so many religious books out there, so I'm settling with the Bible because I'm the most comfortable with that book. I'm so glad I'm reading it again. The only time I'll ever see a doctor now which does not include yearly checkups, is when there's a physical problem that can be verified either through some kind of scan or x-ray or it's visible to see. I will never tell them how I am, I'll just keep saying I'm fine thanks. They only need to know about scientific facts, not emotional stuff or non-physical stuff. So nothing spiritual. at least if they do any medical treatments without my consent, I know I'm still not actively complying with what they're expecting of me and when I'm not under their control, I still refuse their treatments and I only ever take any treatment option if it's forced on me. i've decided not to give doctors any of my power any more. I just throw away any prescriptions I don't want and if they write me up for any medications, I throw away their scripts as well. they can threaten me all they like. I'm not giving them any of my power and even if I do get locked up again one day, they won't get any of my power because I won't speak to them. Doctors only have as much power as you are willing to give them. they also have no control over whether somebody lives or dies.
Same with mass shooters. We always find out they were on psychotropic drugs.
As a retired Emergency Physician 1983, none of this surprises me.
This is so true.
The psychiatric system is a horror-show of harming language and even more harmful drugs.
It is not a good thing for a human being to think of ones self as sick. It made me sick, if I weren't already.
Thank you for speaking sense.
There is so little wrong with us..
But society is right now not healthy for human beings.
You describe the situation so correctly. We live in a psychopathic society, and at this point in time, the medical sewer is causing most of the mental illness in our world. I worked in this pathetic system, and the fact that child psychiatrists are allowed to prescribe pharmaceutical speed to little children is absolutely criminal.

@@MIOLAZARUS I agree. We have been medicating our children for way too long. They need to experience nature, fresh air, nutritious natural food and healthy relationships to help develop complex coping skills to survive this nightmare that society has become.

Psychiatrists are good with crocodile tears at the beginning. Then they give out: disease-like labels, neurotoxic drugs and Triage modeled custodial debasement. There is no accountability in the psychiatric system, and this must change!
My therapist gave me medicine for mild anxiety (zoloft) that gave me mania and high anxiety and then tried to say I was bipolar. I went off it. I'm totally fine. This person gaslit me. For what reason though? Do they get paid more to prescribe?
I suffered horribly and know others who suffered and did not make it from these psychiatric drugs! I went manic from Wellbutrin, then put on Xanax, then Clonazepam, and. 5 year journey into utter Hell! Deep dark place! Wanting to take own life everyday! The suffering is unbearable, felt like I could not function in this world, or belonged! Insomnia, anxiety, fear, took 2 years off this drug for brain and me to feel normal again.
I Have lost six members of my family to the epidemic of opioids, including my mother four brothers and two sisters it went from street drugs to Pharma companies, pushing dope into the nation
I am a survivor of the epedemic if amfetamines almost died several times. I have been sober 6 months now my friend
Psychiatry is NOT here to “heal”, but to “control”.
those quake doctors told me that in new zealand.- all Demons. but will be judged in hell/ Sheol.'
This should be required knowledge of all mental health practitioners. To see how flimsy the basis of the "diagnostic manual" is no surprise to me. It should have a warning label stating that this is an opinion piece
This information should be mandatory for all medical students. It would never be though as the institution is the MAFIA ...DRUG LORDS .
My experience as a woman with a severe case of complex ptsd has demoralized me utterly. Psychiatric professionals have almost always dismissed my pain and pathologized all of my good traits--my empathy is "preoccupation with victimization," my love of my dog is "maladaptive attachment," my love of school is "the need for artificial strokes in a falsely structured environment." I have been drugged to the point of vegetative lethargy, obesity, blacking out when just trying to walk across the room, having seizures, drenching cold sweats, bizarre, terrifying nightmares, chronic digestive problems, dry mouth, etc. My ptsd symptoms are understood as sickness rather than reactions to a truly wretched life. The sexism is appalling. The meds do nothing other than cause relentless suffering, Psychiatrists say that sid effects don't exist. I have come to a point of having nothing but contempt for psychiatrists.
