THOUSAND OF US SOLDIERS ON PSYCHE DRUGS

Leave a reply

Thousands of US soldiers are going into battle fueled by all sorts of prescription medications, be they amphetamines, antidepressants, sedatives or others. Largely unmonitored consumption of drugs can lead to aberrant behavior and mental disorders.

­Over 110,000 American service personnel took prescribed medications in 2011 to battle through everyday military routine.

The Times recently disclosed that nearly 8 per cent of active-duty American servicemen and women take sedatives and over 6 per cent are on antidepressants, a tremendous eightfold increase since 2005, when two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were in full swing.  READ MORE…

JUDGING JUDI: NEW BOOK, PERSONAL STORY ON INVOLUNTARILY INDUCED PSYCHOSIS

Leave a reply

I wrote my story Judging Judi so that others, when they are misdiagnosed as psychiatric, can appreciate what can go wrong when psychotropic drug therapy is not monitored properly and discontinued when adverse effects are reported. I am lucky I have my life back, living with a chronic illness, and have a second chance to live it to the best of my abilities.  I want to share with you a part of my book, Judging Judi.

In 1995, at the age of fifty years, while suffering from an upper respiratory infection and taking Prozac and Trinalin, I was illegally confined to a mental institution for five weeks, against my will.  This was the most frightening event that I have lived through in my life.

Shock Treatments for the Elderly: Old Age is a mental illness

Leave a reply

In the United States, 65–year–olds receive 360% more shock treatment than 64–vear–olds because at age 65 government insurance coverage for shock typically takes effect. Such extensive abuse of the elderly is not the result of medical incompetence.  Psychiatry has broadly perpetrated the tragic but lucrative hoax that aging is a mental disorder requiring extensive and expensive psychiatric services.  Read more…

Gwen Olsen’s book is exactly as the title says, a CONFESSION. She has done a clear, masterful job describing how she unwittingly lived through the horrors of a harmful, dysfunctional family and found herself enmeshed in an industry where she was expected to make sales at any cost. Concern for an ill person was not part of her work paradigm.

Suicide Soldiers: More suicides than war deaths

1 Reply

In the aftermath of Vietnam War, 150,000 veterans from that war committed suicide, meaning more soldiers died after the war than from the actual war itself, say experts.

A growing number of soldier advocates, mostly parents of deceased soldiers, have tried to tell the military and Congress what may be behind today’s suicide surge.

Some believe the military and the VA are over medicating troops and veterans with a combination of antidepressants and antipsychotics. This is a drug cocktail that has tragic side effects, such as sudden cardiac arrest, and because the military and Big Pharma are desperate to keep these side effects a secret, a convenient explanation to get both off the hook is “suicide.”  Read article…

School Shootings: All on Antipsychotics

Homicide is an outer action based on “blaming other”. But what FOX news doesn’t cover is all the youth SUICIDES.
Suicide is an “inner directed” action based on blaming oneself or at least resisting the urge to commit homicide. Why do some kill and others don’t? See the industries dirty secret!
