Call for retraction of three fraudulent trial reports of antidepressants in children and adolescents that seriously underreported suicide attempts, other suicidal events, and precursors to suicide and violence on active drug and exaggerated the benefits bit.ly/3Qpce6j

Yet another cholesterol lowering drug for over $400 per month. There is no convincing relationship between lowering LDL-cholesterol and cardiac deaths. It is long overdue to dismiss this hypothesis bit.ly/3qydUiH Regulate the foot industry instead of touting pills.

“The essential fuel of psychiatry’s bigotry is the arrogant belief by psychiatrists that their discomfort over humans different from themselves justifies declarations as to which human behaviors are deemed ‘mental illnesses.’” madinamerica.com/2023/06/psy…

A child recently told me of a horrifying #988Lifeline experience. Covertly tracing someone's call against their will & forcing them into a psychiatric hospital only works--at best--once. Forever after, they know. Forever after, they're wary of reaching out or confiding in anyone.

This is my recent interview on the Designed to Heal Podcast with Dr. Ben Ralls. We mainly talk about the mental health system, rather than focusing on my book, #TheZyprexaPapers.

When psychiatrists don’t lie about a chemical imbalance causing depression, they often say the cause is unknown. Wrong. People get depressed because they have depressing lives. Job loss, relationship breakdown and physical illness are strong predictors bit.ly/3ZWEHm2

"What does it mean to have a reaction that is 'out of proportion' to being placed in shackles? Is there a 'normal' way for a person to behave when stripped of freedom & locked in a cell?"

Psychiatric patients are forced by the court in sham trials to take drugs and doses that are dangerous. Human rights violations in Alaska ignore previous Supreme Court rulings. The power imbalance and abuse are extreme. See our preprint research paper bit.ly/3OB69kk
