Psychiatrists and the APA now love to claim they “abandoned” the chemical imbalance theory long ago and that it was never really a core belief, yet this is nothing more than damage control. The truth is the American Psychiatric Association has never issued an official position statement debunking or retracting the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness — a theory that has since been thoroughly disproven by research, including Joanna Moncrieff’s landmark 2022 umbrella review. While Big Pharma flooded television and print with misleading advertisements featuring bouncing Zoloft balls and claims that antidepressants “correct” chemical imbalances in the brain, the APA and its leaders remained conspicuously silent. They never launched a national television campaign or major public warning to counter the false narrative they knew was driving millions of unnecessary prescriptions. This decades-long failure to correct the record allowed pharmaceutical marketing to mislead the public and fuel the explosive rise in psychiatric drug use, all the while psychiatry continued to profit from the drug company narrative.

The reason why fraudulent antidepressant studies are not retracted by the Psychiatric medical establishment & remain part of the training curriculum (see STAR*D) is simple. If the general public & trained professionals became aware it would end Psychiatry as a viable healthcare specialty and wipe out the antidepressant market. The product liability lawsuits themselves would be astronomical. The public trust in western medicine would be further destroyed.

The most dangerous 77 seconds ever recorded by a psychiatrist just broke containment again. Thomas Szasz, the man the entire profession tried to erase, looked straight into the camera and said: “We do not have an epidemic of mental illness. We have an epidemic of psychiatry.” Too fat → illness Too thin → illness Too happy, too sad, too much sex, too little sex → all illnesses No free will, no responsibility left — only “chemical imbalances” fixed by products you can advertise on TV while alcohol cannot. This forgotten 1:17 clip is now exploding across every timeline for a reason. Jacob

The memo that changed it all. APA archives, 1978: A DSM-III committee had to decide: Is shyness a mental disorder? No lab test. So they voted. "Yes" won.

In just 32 states, nearly 3 million children are being prescribed psychiatric drugs under Medicaid alone: CCHR which has successfully filed FOIAs for decades, compiled grids of thousands of National Drug Codes (NDCs) from the FDA, covering more than 400 psychiatric drugs. These unique identifiers account for differences in manufacturer, strength, form, and packaging, (nearly 5000 NDCs) allowing states to extract precise Medicaid records. The resulting 2023 FOIA data from 32 states revealed that 2,999,084 children aged 0–17 were prescribed psychiatric drugs under Medicaid, including 270,196 children aged 0–5, at a total cost of $1.78 billion. This is a corrupt system targeting children cchrint.org/massdrugging-of-…

A man visits different psychiatrists offices, complaining of the same symptoms... The world of psychiatry is a scam - a BigPharma scam, and a Globalist's scam:

“We do not have an independent, valid test for ADHD, and there are no data to indicate ADHD is due to a brain malfunction.” – Final statement of the panel from the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on ADHD
Diagnosing a child with ADHD does not liberate them but instead may lead to them becoming yet another victim of psychiatrisation

This is a great blog by @psychgeist52. It spells out, very clearly & concisely, why the burden now falls on psychiatry to justify its authority, not on critics to justify their opposition. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

The late Loren Mosher — psychiatrist and former Chief of NIMH’s Center for Studies of Schizophrenia — in his 1998 resignation letter to the American Psychiatric Association (APA): “Unfortunately, APA reflects, and reinforces, in word and deed, our drug dependent society… This is not a group for me. At this point in history, in my view, psychiatry has been almost completely bought out by the drug companies. The APA could not continue without the pharmaceutical company support of meetings, symposia, workshops, journal advertising, grand rounds luncheons, unrestricted educational grants etc. etc. Psychiatrists have become the minions of drug company promotions. "APA, of course, maintains that its independence and autonomy are not compromised in this enmeshed situation. “Anyone with the least bit of common sense attending the annual meeting would observe how the drug company exhibits and industry sponsored symposia draw crowds with their various enticements while the serious scientific sessions are barely attended. Psychiatric training reflects their influence as well; i.e., the most important part of a resident curriculum is the art and quasi-science of dealing drugs, i.e., prescription writing. “These psychopharmacological limitations on our abilities to be complete physicians also limit our intellectual horizons. No longer do we seek to understand whole persons in their social contexts rather we are there to realign our patients' neurotransmitters. The problem is that it is very difficult to have a relationship with a neurotransmitter whatever its configuration… “…We condone and promote the widespread overuse and misuse of toxic chemicals that we know have serious long term effects: tardive dyskinesia, tardive dementia and serious withdrawal syndromes. So, do I want to be a drug company patsy who treats molecules with their formulary? No, thank you very much.” As Chief of NIMH’s Center for Studies of Schizophrenia, Mosher promoted drug-free schizophrenia treatment through his Soteria Project, which housed patients in supportive, home-like environments with non-professional staff emphasizing interpersonal care instead of antipsychotic drugs. He was dismissed from his position as chief of the Center for Studies of Schizophrenia at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 1980, largely because of his strong advocacy for the drug-free Soteria Project and his vocal criticism of the increasing reliance on antipsychotics.

Here are interviews with psychiatrists at the American Psychiatric Association in 2006. Now 20 years later they still have no confirmatory tests for any mental disorder, they still play trial and error with drugs and still have no idea if the drugs will "work" or not.
