The reality, however Blu, is that since all doctors are taught in med school – including the psychiatrists – that the antidepressants and antipsychotics can create “psychosis,” via anticholinergic toxidrome, your adverse reactions to the psych drugs was not likely “paradoxical.” Not the mention the antipsychotics can also create the negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
Let’s be realistic. “Therapy-Speak,” should be properly called, debunked DSM ‘bible’ stigmatization / defamation.
Because continued use of the debunked DSM results in “a privatization of distress, where suffering is interpreted as a signal of individual dysfunction.” Well, in my personal case, my distress was caused by the societal dysfunction, that resulted in my – and the entire world’s – legitimate distress at the distressing 9/11/2001 event.
I guess that’s called political abuse of psychology and psychiatry, in America, huh?
If, “Their goal is not to reject therapy altogether, but to propose a form of practice that breaks with the individualizing and depoliticizing tendencies of the therapeutic turn,” then the psychologists need to break from use of their “invalid” psychiatric DSM “bible” … and stop functioning as nothing more than funnels into the “BS” psychiatric forced drugging, iatrogenic illness creating, system.
“More than simply naming problems, therapy-speak [DSM stigmatization-speak] provides tools to manage contradictions without confronting them.” Especially, when it comes to covering up child abuse, which has become, by DSM design, the number one actual function of both the DSM “bible” billing psych industries.
Therapy does “carry unacknowledged harms, especially for those experiencing mild to moderate distress” or none, thus the psych industries should learn to live, and let live, and leave innocent others alone. (It was less than a year ago that I finally got a criminal computer hacking psychologist, who I refused to hire, hopefully forever, out of my computer and phone.)
The psych “professions” do like to silence their clients. I had to leave my former psychiatrist once I realized he had very literally declared my entire life to be “a credible fictional story” in his medical records, as if I would believe his delusions.
Decades after I left that nut job psychiatrist, I was attacked by a psychologist, in a church, who tried to gaslight me into signing a thievery contract. Of course I didn’t sign it. But apparently my art work was “too truthful” for him, at least according to recovered emails I found, after learning this “creepy” psychologist, had been hacking into my computer for years.
And, yes, covering up child abuse is the number one actual societal function of the psych industries, and it’s all by design, according to their debunked DSM.
“behavioral health professionals now lead the response via mobile crisis teams, not law enforcement, such as the officers who handcuffed Isbell.”
Yet the “mental health professions'” goal is taking people to hospitals, for profit, just like the police, government, and paternalistic religions, who own the hospitals.
And I’m not generalizing, I’m speaking from personal experience, as one with medical evidence of eleven anticholinergic toxidrome attempted murders, by the now FBI convicted Dr. V. R. Kuchipudi, and his psychiatric “snowing” partner-in-crime, Dr. Humaira Saiyed, who deserves to be arrested, too.
I dealt with, if I recall correctly, just over $30,000 of fraud based “treatment,” paid for by my insurance company, for Kuchipidi and Saiyed’s anticholinergic toxidrome attempted murders. But Kuchipudi and Saiyed were hoping to make their fraud from my medical insurance carrier over $120,000, with an unneeded tracheotomy … since I was fraudulently admitted to that hospital, with a non-existent “chronic airway obstruction.”
As one who had a dream about being “moved by the Holy Spirit,” and medical evidence of easily recognized and complex medical iatrogenesis, misdiagnosed as “psychosis,” due to my legitimate distress caused by 9/11/2001.
I largely agree with most of what you say, if the latter part of your post stands for pro-dream analysis, and against the current Western “biologically reductionist” DSM deluded “mental health” industries’ claims all dreams, and me, are “irrelevant to reality,” and brain zaps are “psychosis,” within one or two appointments – which is the antithesis of treating one’s client, as they would like to be treated.
“Healing begins when we listen deeplyânot just to symptoms, but to the whole story behind them.” I agree, but sadly that’s not what is happening in today’s “mental health” industries, any where in Western civilization. So I couldn’t agree more, the whole world needs a paradigm “shift” away from psychiatry’s “biologically reductive” DSM “BS.”
It would be wonderful if you could share some insights into what helps “mental health” symptoms in Korean medicine, here on MiA.
Just an FYI, my parents met at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Thank you for sharing, and helping people get off of psychiatry’s neurotoxins, Daehyun.
If I’m not incorrect, I recall from my research somewhere, learning that the entire way “Family Court” is structured is bad, for example, there are no juries. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
But, then again, the entire maritime legal system (as opposed to common law, which we are supposed to have in the US, but don’t) is convoluted. This guy does a good job of explaining this in his “foundational knowledge” section.
Yes, the psych professions do target middle aged women. I went into a hospital due to a pulled muscle over my heart, it was caused by exercising with weights that were too heavy – which had nothing to do with depression.
I wasn’t allowed to leave that ER without some doctor coming up to me and asking, “Are you depressed?” I told him, “No, and I’m allergic to the anticholinergic drugs.” I sat there and watched him trying to comprehend what I had just said, it took him a minute. Then he just walked away, and I was allowed to leave.
I did a portrait of the last psychologist who medically unnecessarily approached me, in a church, not a medical setting. I call the painting, “Portrait of a Doctorate in Gaslighting.” He spent two years harassing (trying to gaslight) me into signing a thievery contract. You can see it in the art section of this website.
I’m glad some psychologists are finally starting to wake up, and starting to clean up the deplorable mess, the psych professions created.
I pray to God our society returns to a semblance of sanity, and stops the mass psychiatric drugging of children, seemingly due to the greed of the psych industries specifically, but also because of the greed of the entire medical community, who has seemingly bought into the psychiatric industry’s “BS.”
Don’t forget about those “life long, incurable, genetic mental illness” lies that the psych – professions spew.
And the fact that the psych professions don’t even know how to safely wean people off their neurotoxins, so even finding a psych professional to agree to wean you off, is hard.
I agree, the DSM “bible” billing industries function as a “cult.” A “cult,” seemingly hell bent, on functioning to “maintain the status quo,” which is a “status quo” that is based upon bad systems, thus it is dysfunctional, and unjust.
I mean, in the US, we’re all supposed to believe “we are all created as equal,” yet the psych industries want to create and maintain a greed only inspired caste system, which protects the “professionals” while putting everyone else through a literal iatrogenic living hell, and steal more than everything from them … at least according to my medical, financial, and legal records, and research.
More ways to point out how the psych industries are un-American, thank you, Cat.
I agree, No-one, it is nice that MiA allows philosophical commentary.
I haven’t yet looked into all your links, Tom, but thanks for the thought provoking commentary and links.
But I will agree, “depression does not cause a lack of hope,” unless it’s “clinical depression,” which too many within the psych professions claim is “a life long, incurable, genetic illness,” caused by a “chemical imbalance,” “just like diabetes” … all of which is blatant lies.
Meaning these psych professions are telling blatant lies to their clients, in order to steal people’s hope, for profit.
And I agree, “It IS a lack of hope [that can cause depression], and its cure, therefore, is obviously the restoration of hope.”
Which largely means, get away from the psych professions that are spewing hope destroying lies at you, and stop believing these systemic liars.
I agree, “what many people need is not more diagnoses, but more dignity, resources, and economic security.” But I’m not certain I agree with your conclusion that cash transfers are a good idea.
As an ethical banker’s daughter, I’d say the real solution is to turn over the unethical globalist bankers'” table” / bad banking system … again … and, hopefully, forever.
But in the story of my dreams, God’s ultimate goal is a free society, like with no money whatsoever. Albeit with the understanding by all, that God (our Creator) owns this planet, as well as all the planets in our ever expanding universe, and that there is both wisdom and folly within all religions … except, the DSM “bible” billers’ ‘religion’ / book of stigmatizations – there is no wisdom in a book of scientifically “invalid” stigmatizations – albeit I do admit the psychiatrists’ drugs can and do create the symptoms of their DSM disorders.
I was listening to this as I was reading your blog, and found a lot of wisdom within it, despite not actually being a believer in communism, since communism denies God’s existence.
But forgive my lack of full knowledge, since I’m still on my spiritual journey, working my way towards wisdom … yet I do now understand neither I, nor any one else, will ever be able to understand everything about all things, in our waking hours … nor do I even want to.
Not to change the subject, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the ways in which today’s “mental health” industries are innately un-American.
Like, for example, since the “mental health” industries are “partnered with” both the religions and the governments, that has destroyed our Bill of Rights claim that in the US, there should be a “separation of church and state.” The “mental health” industries have destroyed that right of American citizens.
And, for example, since most of the antipsychotics are dopamine antagonists, meaning they block dopamine. But since everyone basically knows dopamine is a “feel good hormone,” as is also serotonin, which the antidepressants block.
Isn’t that actually evidence that the force and coerce drugging psychiatrists, et al have been intentionally taking away American’s right to “life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness,” for profit?
That’s just two examples I came up with for why psychiatry is un-American, but I’m sure there are many more examples. Please give me more examples of how forced psychiatric drugging is un-American, ladies and gentlemen of MiA.
I, too, had the common symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome misdiagnosed (according to the DSM-IV-TR at the time). And, I agree, the brain zaps were bizarre, and a physical symptom that made you think it wise to go to a “head doctor.” What a mistake!
I’m sorry you were not able to wean off your antidepressant, Laura, but I’m glad you are stabilized on a low dose, at least that’s a harm reduction approach.
However, it is sad to me that so many of the nurses and non-medically trained “mental health professionals” are so ignorant, and uncurious, about the staggering iatrogenic harm that the psychiatrists have been perpetrating on humanity, for decades … especially the elderly and children.
What is it they say, âThe greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its weakest member,â so what does the current psychiatric debacle say about the leaders of Western civilization today?
But I’m glad you’ve chosen to start actually helping the people harmed by the psychiatrists instead, Laura.
At least there are some good British psychologists and psychiatrists speaking out against the fraud and harm of psychiatry. In the States, I think it’s likely much worse than in the UK, perhaps in part because we have too many “mental health professionals?”
For goodness sake, I had one psychiatrist – who was the psychiatric “snowing” partner of the now FBI convicted V.R. Kuchipudi – who spent years fraudulently listing me as her “out patient,” despite the fact I was never her “out patient.”
And a decade plus later I was also medically unnecessarily approached by a psychologist, who tried to gaslight me into signing a take a percentage of gross thievery contract, combined with a conservatorship contract, that was disingenuously claimed to be an “art manager” contract – of course I refused to sign his appalling thievery contract. But I did find out a few years after my family left the church where we met this psychologist, that this psychologist had been illegally hacking into my computer for years.
So I agree with you the hate, of the scientifically “invalid” “mental health professionals” towards those of us mothers who stand against child abuse in my case, is most definitely blatantly obvious – to the point of being downright criminal behavior. And it was my love, in part for my young children who needed me, that helped save me, too.
What the “psych” industries in the US have done is not nearly as “complex” as they like to proclaim. The “bipolar” diagnosis is a good example of this.
If one goes to a “psych professional,” (due, for example, for questioning “brain zaps,” which are a common symptom of withdrawal from the non-“safe smoking cessation meds” / antidepressants) and claims to not be depressed. Then the DSM “bible” billers just automatically “diagnoses” the person as “manic,” thus “bipolar” … as if there are only two states of being, which is ridiculous. The “bipolar diagnosis” itself is a “Catch 22.”
And how ironic, the “bad fix” on my broken bone doctor, did call himself “Dr. 22,” in my medical records.
Thank you for your research, ladies and gentlemen of Japan. Please don’t buy into, and work against, the “BS” and fraud of the Western “mental health” industries and big Pharma.
By the way, the evil ‘voices’ i got, were due to psychiatric anticholinergic toxidrome poisonings. And my ‘salvage one’ ‘voices’ were caused by my ‘drug withdrawal induced super sensitivity manic psychosis.’
Wake up, non-medically trained, DSM deluded psychologists, et al.
But just because I can medically explain my “voices,” doesn’t negate my spiritual journey, it’s just DSM defamation of character.
“clinicians who wish to respect individual meaning-making for voice-hearers might learn to hold multiple explanatory models that differ from their own [DSM] ideas and frameworks without applying an illness, deficit, or risk lens.”
Oh, but then the DSM deluded “psych professionals” can’t bill.
Sadly, my former DSM deluded, “holist, Christian, talk therapist,” who railroad me off to psychiatrists within two appointments, was 100% the opposite of “holistic” and a “talk therapist.” Since she turned herself into a neurotoxic poisoner, who ended up having her – not listened to – client’s entire life declared a “credible fictional story” instead. And no DSM “bible” believer may claim to be Christian, since one may not believe in the scientifically “invalid” DSM stigmatization “bible,” and the Holy Bible.
A person should be able to discuss a spiritual question/journey with a “holistic, Christian talk therapist.” But one may not, with a scientifically “invalid” DSM “bio, bio, bio” “bible” believer.
Thank God for the internet, I’m listening to this as I read and type this. And I did have a bizarre “seventh heaven” aspect to my mysterious, mystical, musical, drug withdrawal induced super sensitivity mania.
For those of you who, like me, had a spiritual inquiry, misdiagnosed by a “bio, bio, bio” only believing DSM “bible” thumper … you might find that video creator interesting.
Back to the blog at hand, I agree, hearing voices groups should be encouraged and studied, even though I’ve never been to one, since there isn’t one close to me.
Being innately shy, and being uncomfortable speaking in public (feeling such is apparently called by psychiatry “awkward”) are not actually “mental illnesses,” to anyone other than the scientific fraud based DSM “bible” billers … and perhaps, also, the teachers in charge of public speaking classes.
Thank you for sharing that blog. Forgive my ignorance, but I didn’t see a comment section on Mad in Norway … and I’m not even certain what language is spoken in Norway, Norwegian? but of course.
The word for mad and the word for food must be similar in Norwegian? Or the translator is goofy, since many of the “Mad in …” websites are translated into English as “Food in.” This may be something that MiA wants to look into? I did report a couple of them as bad translations.
Nonetheless, in as much as I agree with much of what the author said. If anyone knows how to remind the Norwegian psychiatrists that, I think all doctors, were taught in med school that the neuroleptics/antipsychotics can create “psychosis,” via anticholinergic toxidrome.
But knowing this means, I agree with his conclusion that renaming the neuroleptic drugs, “antipsychotics,” was quite morally reprehensible, on the part of psychiatry and/or big Pharma.
“When socially powerful professional institutions do not acknowledge their manifest limitations and seek to remedy their evident failuresâthereby violating the fundamental spirit of scientific methodology [and justice within society]âwe contribute to the erosion of public confidence in expert opinion.”
Just a reminder, in the US, separation of church and state is supposed to be the rule of law … but the psych industries (I’m pretty certain, illegally – in addition to many of the 501c3 organizations they’ve “partnered with”) bridged that gap.
Not to defame the truth tellers of MiA, which is a 501c-3 organization, that I do donate to. But the unrepentant Holy Spirit blasphemers of my ex-religion, are not innocent.
Thank you for the brief history of psychiatry, Randy. It helps explain why the DSM “bible” is actually being taught in the seminaries today, and part of why the younger generations are not going to the churches.
For goodness sakes, one cannot believe in a DSM “bible” of scientifically “invalid” stigmatizations, while also believing in the Holy Bible, which is a book of wisdom, that’s message is largely about the need for love and mutual respect.
But I will point out that all this is unethical and unwise, on the part of the seminaries that actually believe in God, and want to bring the young people into their churches.
For goodness sakes, now I understand why none of the young “mental health professionals” – who are “partnered” with my ex-religion – ever bother to show up for church services. And now I understand why my mom’s former church is a dying, greying, church.
No offense, Sandra, but I think MiA’s film festival was in 2014. Sorry to always be pointing out psychiatrists’ flaws.
But, hey, my young son pointed out that Jesus’ theology had a “trick” to it, when he was only 7. That “trick,” of course, is I do have a right to treat others, as they have treated me (of course, with respect for God’s laws). And, my personal experience is that all psych workers “conspire” against their clients, especially mothers of child abuse survivors and child abuse survivors. And every “mental health” worker I’ve ever personally met, and mentioned that I have medical evidence of child abuse in my child’s medical records, has told me they want to neurotoxic poison my well behaved, intelligent, multiple award winning child.
All DSM “bible” deluded psych workers should get out of the schools and churches, especially until they may bill to help child abuse survivors, which they still may NOT do today.
But I will say, my loved one’s “psychosis” etiologies – and he is doing well now – had nothing to do with the psychiatric industry’s “invalid” “lifelong, incurable, genetic” DSM “bible” disorders.
Since his issues were related to his nurse practitioner’s inappropriately given bad drug interactions (although I didn’t catch those potentially deadly bad drug interactions initially either, and I did check), sleep deprivation, the death of his 21 year old beloved dog, and likely alcohol encephalitis.
So I still do stand in support of getting rid of the scientifically “invalid” DSM.
Well, and being given the undeserved “right” to force drug, control, and play “judge, jury, and executioner,” to innocent others, seems to have allowed psychiatry and psychology to lose their own minds, with their undeserved and unchecked power.
Maybe we should get rid of the evil systems of control, that are attacking the innocent people (which are what the psych industries, et al, greed only inspired industries chose to become)?
And we should try to return to a just and free society instead?
As one whose introduction to the psych drugs was by a, dangerously paranoid of a non-existent malpractice suit PCP, who wanted to cover up her husband’s “bad fix” on a broken bone of mine – which I’d call criminal abuse of psychiatry. And since my second opinion doctor was a psychologist who, according to her, and all my family’s medical records (and my later psych research), misdiagnosed me based upon her pastor’s and a pedophile’s wife’s lies. Well, since covering up child abuse is illegal, that was also criminal abuse of psychiatry.
And as one who had one of my force drugging hospital doctors eventually convicted by the FBI for having lots of patients medically unnecessarily shipped long distances to himself, then his “snowing” psychiatric partner massively neurotoxic poisoned people in the hope they would stop breathing, so they could do unneeded tracheotomies on people, for profit – a third form of criminal abuse of psychiatry.
And I was also attacked by another psychologist, decades after my escape, who tried to gaslight me into signing a contract that was a take a percentage of gross thievery contract, combined with an appalling conservative contract, all disingenuously dressed up as an “art manager” contract – and use of those conservatorship contracts is one more form of criminal abuse of psychiatry/psychology as well, IMHO. Of course I didn’t sign the contract. Oh, but I did learn a couple years after that, that psychologist had been hacking into my computer, for years, which is also illegal.
Well, obviously I know the “right” to force drug people is being systemically abused by criminal doctors (and pastors, et al). But I did also have much more mutually respectful interactions with psychiatrists, after I’d researched into the psych industries for a couple decades.
I had a loved one who was more “psychotic” than anyone I’d ever seen, who did eventually need to be held against his will in a psych facility briefly. The psychiatrists I dealt with at that hospital were embarrassed that I’d dealt with the “bad fix” covered up with complex iatrogenesis. But they were kind enough to avoid the anticholinergic drugs, and got my loved one calmed down, and no longer psychotic, on a low dose of lithium, within about a week and a half. And my loved one was weaned off that lithium pretty quickly.
So, in as much as I know there is way too much forced psych drugging for nefarious reasons, I also know it’s not easy to deal with a large psychotic person oneself. So the legality and/or need for forced treatment is a complex subject, but the systemic corruption of the psych industries should be addressed, too.
“The idea that human flourishing is intimately tied to the natural world is gaining traction across disciplines, offering a powerful counterpoint to dominant psychiatric models that isolate mental health from social, political, and ecological conditions.”
Yes, let’s hope the DSM deluded some day gain insight into common sense. As one who dealt with a drug withdrawal induced super sensitivity mania, I will say, being in nature was helpful for me. And locking a manic person into a windowless environment is about the worst thing you can do.
So I definitely agree, “pro-environmental and sustainable behavior, aimed at preserving the environment, can be understood as benefiting both the environment and the individual.” Being in nature also helps when one finds oneself “manic.”
Huh, that all sounds like false advertising, which I was told was illegal, back when I was getting my marketing degree.
And you’ll pardon me for pointing out the irony of you confessing this on a website filled with people who were harmed by your “misleading claims.”
Better late than never, I suppose. I’m glad you finally “got off the fence,” and ended your illegal false advertising. Someone should sue big Pharma for false advertising.
“The findings suggest that a more trauma-informed, flexible approach to therapeutic goal-setting is urgently needed in school-based counseling.”
It breaks my heart that the scientifically “invalid” DSM “bible” billers are even in the schools, since the DSM doesn’t even allow them to bill for child abuse.
“These findings resonate with previous research on young peopleâs perceptions of goal-setting, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable.”
Well, of course “a one-size-fits-all approach” is inappropriate.
“For young people still developing a sense of self, being evaluated every week can heighten self-criticism and inhibit the kind of open, exploratory process that therapy is meant to provide.”
Especially when the children are being defamed with the “invalid” DSM stigmatizations in “therapy,” which is what all of today’s DSM “bible” billers / psychiatrists / psychologists / social workers / CPS workers, et al do. And the insane social workers, who make up lies about the best and brightest, award winning, children of America, since the school districts are not actually “equipped to deal with the smartest American children,” are actually the DSM deluded / insane people. This is a societal problem.
“Additionally, clinicians must consider how their approach to goal-setting may inadvertently pathologize natural and contextually appropriate responses to life challenges.”
Well, since my personal experience with the reductionist, DSM deluded “bible” billers – many of whom I had to ask, in my “mean mom voice,” Does anyone here speak English? – is that they do not know how to treat innocent others in a manner, that they’d like to be treated.
“Ensuring young people feel heard, supported, and respected throughout their therapeutic journey is essential.”
Yet this is the opposite of what today’s DSM “bible” billers do. So we should get the scientific fraud based DSM “bible” deluded “mental health professionals” out of the schools.
“This study adds to mounting concerns that some evidence-based tools, while well-intentioned, may undermine the core principles of healing, especially when they are applied without sensitivity to context, culture, trauma, and identity. For young people still developing a sense of self, being evaluated every week can heighten self-criticism and inhibit the kind of open, exploratory process that therapy is meant to provide.”
I agree, let’s end the mass psychological and psychiatric drugging of children in schools, and the scientific fraud based psychologic defamation, with the “invalid” psychiatric DSM disorders, of children in our schools.
“In line with trauma-informed and harm-reduction frameworks, the authors call for a more collaborative, consent-based approach to goal-setting.”
Yes, the ending of all forced and coerced psychological and psychiatric drugging of innocent children should end … as should all such communications with our children.
“This study joins a growing body of research questioning dominant paradigms in school mental health.”
“the need for trauma-informed, context-sensitive approachesâones that center lived experience, resist over-standardization (as the DSM deluded do), and take seriously the structural and cultural factors that shape young peopleâs emotional lives in and out of schools,” is needed.
I agree, the psychiatric nurses should “establish and lead psychotropic drug deprescribing and disÂcontinuation services.” One of my good friends is a retired nurse, who is now highly embarrassed by today’s medical community.
And it was, largely ethical nurses, who worked to save me, many thanks to them.
And the systemic betrayal of today’s psychiatric industry, of their “clients,” is appalling (see my last comment on this website, for the medical evidence of this comment).
Stand tall, and take control, nurses … the doctors have lost their way, due to their seemingly insatiable greed, and the insatiable greed of big Pharma and the insurance industries.
Maybe we should move back to a time where the doctors are actually working for their patients, instead of working for big Pharma, their hospital managers, and/or the insurance companies?
But we do need the nurses to stand up, and stop the systemic iatrogenic harm the psychiatrists are perpetuating. And I am grateful for the ethical nurses who helped me.
And, sadly, I do agree, “‘Psychiatric Drugs’ are ‘A Crude Form of Chemical Restraint.'” For goodness, sakes, the psychological and psychiatric industries have turned themselves into a bunch of systemic child abuse covering up satanists (again, see prior comments on this website for medical evidence of my legitimate concerns), of which I, of course, have both medical and legal proof.
âNevertheless, psychiatrists approach the mental in a similar way doctors approach the physical (remember, psychiatrists are ultimately medical doctors, and must go through the same core training).â
And since we know “psychiatrists are ultimately medical doctors,” and we can research and learn that all MDs are taught in medical school, about anticholinergic toxidrome.
We can garner insight into the fact that the psychiatric industry is an unethical aspect of the medical industry, that took the medical knowledge of how to make a person “psychotic” … which does harm their patients … and turned systemically harming their patients, into their “gold standard of care.”
What the psychiatric industry has done is so unethical, it’s hard to actually believe … but, sadly, it is the truth.
My family are also regular donors to MiA. MiA is an important, truth telling, website. Please consider supporting MiA, we need to support the truth telling journalists.
Indeed, incorrectly assuming (and trying to brainwash) all their “clients” that they are “stupid, weak and timid” is a systemic problem for the DSM deluded “mental health professions.”
A systemic problem that makes an “a-s” out their “clients,” but also sometimes makes an “a-s,” out of the scientifically “invalid,” incorrectly assuming “mental health professionals” … and hopefully soon their entire, unGodly disrespectful, industry.
As one who has met Laura in real life, I will say Deleno is a kind and generous person, and agree “her haters would really look stupid if Delano found herself in a debate with one of them.”
But that may be because, I too, am a truth telling psychopharmacology researcher … who found the medical evidence that the antipsychotics can create both the positive and negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via both anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
But I do understand the big Pharma funded mainstream media is now starting to behave, seemingly, as bad as the scientific fraud based, big Pharma deluded, “mental health professions.”
“One secondary problem is that when psychiatry is used as a form of intervention by the government it violates the principle of separation of church and state because psychiatry operates as a satanic religion willing to sacrifice anybody and anything on the bloody altar of cold, hard cash.”
Sadly, I have to agree that’s what psychiatry has turned themselves into today. But it’s even worse, since numerous or all of our mainstream paternalistic religions have also “partnered” with the state, psychology, and psychiatry’s DSM “bible’s” “satanic religion.”
And, yes I agree, “we need a revolution,” albeit hopefully a peaceful one … and I do think the Triune God likely inspires the artists … and in their subconscience, all people.
Thus, the psychological industry dismissing the subconscious self, the Id, or whatever the psych industries choose to change the name of one’s dreams and subconscious self to be, was and is morally wrong.
“If we come to view symptoms as representative of underlying psychopathology in need of our attentionâas depth psychology doesâthen drowning out the voice of the psyche is contrary to the nature of the psyche itself.”
That’s exactly what my former DSM deluded psychologist did, by railroading me off to a psychiatrist within only two appointments, so the psychiatrist could also deny my dreams might have validity, and anticholinergic toxidrome poison me.
IMHO, the non-medically trained psychological industry really should go back to valuing their client’s psyches, including their dreams (like, for example, not claiming all dreams are “psychosis”). And they should divorce themselves from the scientifically “invalid,” systemic, neurotoxic poisoners of psychiatry.
I mean in reality right now, the psych industries are very literally “conspiring” against everyone in our society who is not considered to be a so called “professional;” so they may maintain a Ponzi scheme of a bad banking system, so they may maintain a failed pharmaceutical based “Rockefeller medical system,” so they maintain the appalling crimes of the maritime based legal system, so they may maintain “the status quo.”
When, in reality, it is the bad systems that need to be gotten rid of, and a lot of undeserved forgiveness is going to need to be given to those working within those bad systems. But God did point out in the real Bible that repentance, and especially changing from one’s evil ways, is needed … to fix society’s real problems.
“authors Santiago Delboy and Linda Michaels (co-founders of PsiAN) surveyed over 1,500 adults across the United States. Their results suggest that people still want the kind of therapy that takes time, fosters deep understanding, and treats the whole person.”
Yet the “scientific fraud” based DSM “bible” based psychiatric / psychological, et al, deluded industries, went in the opposite direction.
But, since the scientific fraud based DSM deluded have already had their DSM be declared to be “invalid,” let’s hope someday soon those who work within those industries, may soon overcome their delusions of grandeur, that they are the judges of all of humanity, as opposed to that being God’s job. It’s “complex,” yet not that “complex” to those of us who know what is actually going on.
Let’s hope and pray, some day, that those of the “mental health professions,” who were unwisely given the role of playing “judge, jury, and executioner” to the masses … by our seemingly deluded governments and religions of Western civilization … someday understand the fact that God’s the ultimate judge, not the DSM “bible” billers … nor any government, nor religion.
“In a way, evidence-based medicine has degraded clinical practice.” And “evidence based medicine” is largely a euphemism for “Rockefeller medicine.”
“What I mean is that with this idea that you have guidelines that apply to everyone, whereas it is the clinical judgment of the clinician who has to interpret those guidelines. But clinical judgment means independence, it means not following orders, not following guidelines, and itâs very dangerous.”
This is a very important confession by a medical professional … and seemingly, the possible failure of all of Rockefeller medicine, in the long run (we here at MiA may be the “canaries in the coal mine” of all of Rockefeller medicine).
And I found that psychiatry / psychology are so DSM deluded / clinically controlled / avarice controlled, that all they seem to do is incorrectly assume everyone who comes to them has a “life long, incurable, genetic mental illness,” with zero actual proof, while declaring all of a person’s real life to be “a credible fictional story.”
But I couldn’t agree more, “clinical judgment means independence, it means not following orders, not following guidelines,” in other words it means actually behaving like a person’s caring doctor. But this is particularly an issue in the “mental health” arena, since the current mainstream psychiatric DSM guidelines recommend anticholinergic toxidrome poisoning almost all their clients.
I highly recommend reading Rockefeller’s belief system and goals, since after doing such, one does start questioning the entirety of how the medical / pharmaceutical / insurance industrial complex is structured … like, for example, is it wise for any doctor to put an insurance company’s interests above their clients’ interests? No, but that’s how Rockefeller medicine is structured.
Oh, how convenient, Jimmy Dore and James Corbett touched on this subject in Jimmy’s interview with James today. (BTW, I highly recommend Corbett’s research and reporting, and Jimmy is at least sometimes funny, when reporting on the inconvenient truths.”)
Yet it is very sad that too many of today’s psychiatrists and mainstream doctors consider “not following orders, not following guidelines … very dangerous.” It has resulted in a disastrous and deadly “mental health care” system.
Thank you for this interview, Mr. Whitaker and Dr. Fava.
“Two included studies found that indoor ALAN exposure was linked to manic symptoms in people with bipolar disorder.”
Well, since the “mental health professions” believe “all distress is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain” (despite their “chemical imbalance” theory being debunked decades ago), and “genetics” (despite having zero evidence of this), wouldn’t mania caused by light issues be considered a misdiagnosis?
“The authors note that past research has linked exposure to light pollution at early ages to younger ages of bipolar disorder onset.”
I’m pretty certain the appalling “childhood bipolar epidemic” was caused by the fact that our society didn’t used to psych drug children, and the iatrogenic issues pointed out in Robert Whitacker’s “Anatomy of an Epidemic.” Although, I have zero doubt “artificial light at night (ALAN)” may be a part of the problem.
I agree, “Research into mood disorders in the post-modern era should not underestimate the effects of urbanization and should thus be aware of the detrimental effects of various sources of pollutants on the development and exacerbation of these conditions.” And that “the results of this review suggest how building more livable cities that protect public health should include eco-friendly lighting, alongside other factors, according to the principles of sustainability.â
But I will politely point out, as a 14 year member of the planning commission of my former village, that we did have light pollution issues written into our laws, decades ago. So, IMHO, this is, once again, having to point out the lack of common sense of our scientific fraud based “mental health professions,” to themselves.
“No one in their right mind would think powerful substances would NOT affect developing fetuses.”
…except those who profit off of forcing and coercing them on to innocent others?
My question is, why weren’t these rat studies done, prior to the last several decades of forced and coerced drugging of humans? Shouldn’t the drug testing be done on the rats, prior to the human population?
Oh, that’s right, read Rockefeller’s writings, and goals ….
Thank you, Robert and Giovanni, for acting as conduits of mutually respectful communication opportunities between critical psychiatry / psychology people and/or psych survivors, and the publisher and CEO of a possibly no longer truth telling medical journal.
from our local libraries. They sound like an intriguing couple books, and such is a benign thing anyone who feels like a dejected psych survivor could do, as too many of us here, were made to feel we were.
But please do buy the books, too, if you can afford them.
“Russian roulette is not the same without a gun,” my subconscious self has been singing that for seemingly over a decade.. And it is a song about psychiatry’s iatrogenic harm, IMHO. But, of course, one can’t prove such. However, I do NOT believe God is ignorant of what is going on.
Well Birdsong, thank Boans, since he’s actually the one who came up with the suggestion, which I’m just repeating, because I thought it was a good suggestion too.
I guess my addition of “Letâs try to fill the libraries with truth speaking critical psychiatry based books,” was my creative marketing of what I thought was a good idea of Boans, but my first college degree was a marketing degree.
Nonetheless, we should both say thanks to Boans. And hopefully critical psychiatry, et al, people will go start requesting critical psychiatry and survivor books, at their local libraries.
Thanks for sharing, since I’ve yet to read Laura’s book, but I do thank Laura for her courage, strength, and ability, to get her book published by a mainstream publisher.
“Iâve come to believe those who want to shut down conversations critical of psychiatry and standard mental health treatment have their own agenda.” And I do agree, “it’s all about the Benjamins.”
In general, the monied “powers that shouldn’t be” lost control of the narrative, with the onset of the internet. So they are now trying to take back their undeserved, under researched, and/or fraud based researched, power.
RIP, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. But an end to the supposed open dialogue on the realities of the psych industries, does also represent an end to any kind of true science within the psych industries. Especially given the fact that having an open dialogue is largely a necessity, upon which any real science is based.
” … thereâs no silencing the bell Laura has rung.” Let’s hope and pray.
As one who has met Laura in real life, and learned from meeting her that she’s a wonderful, empathetic, kind, truth seeking, and generous person … albeit I have yet to ask my local library to purchase her book so I may read it, and learn more about her journey.
Not to say people shouldn’t buy her book themselves, I may myself, but my bookshelves are getting pretty overfilled. But please do think about going and requesting her book at your local library, since that too could help her book sales (and our truth telling cause).
Although, at this late date, I’d say requesting Robert Whitaker’s, Moncrieff’s, Breggin’s, Gøtzsche’s, et al’s critical psychiatry books from your local libraries would be a good thing to do also, if they don’t already have them. Let’s try to fill the libraries with truth speaking critical psychiatry based books.
” … Those who object must be ‘anti-bloodletters!’ Or flat earthers. Or Scientologists. Or anti-psychiatrists. There is no need to listen to them. We, the mainstream media, will not let psychiatry die in transparency.”
And us independent psychopharmacology researchers here say, let’s not let psychiatry die in transparency, let’s expose the psychiatric industries’ DSM lies … which are really big lies. And why the historically holocaust causing, continuingly harmful, scientifically fraud based psychiatric industry should likely die.
âA section on antipsychotics, for instance, cites studies that purport to show that people who take them fare worse than people who never take them or stop them. (This is misleading; people do not take them unless they have severe symptoms.)”
Is [this] a blatant lie as people are for sure put on antipsychotics without a single exhibition of psychosis.
Indeed it is a lie, since I was put on antipsychotics because a non-medically trained, child abuse covering up, psychologist thought all dreams are “psychosis.”
But when all who dream are “psychotic,” according to the scientifically “invalid” DSM “bible” believers, they’ve rendered their term “psychotic,” to be “irrelevant to reality” … just like the “mental health” industries’ DSM “bible” was claimed to be … way back in 2013.
Yes, I too, was misdiagnosed by a “holistic, Christian talk therapist” – who quickly railroaded me off to a neurotoxic poisoning psychiatrist – a child abuse covering up psychologist, whose medical records also prove she was a Holy Spirit blasphemer.
It’s hard today to be able to trust any doctor, including the ones who claim to be “holistic.”
I have found younger psychiatrists – who are intelligent enough to know that their DSM “bible” was debunked as “BS” and “invalid” over a decade ago – who do agree they, too, are a critical psychiatry person. At least when politely approached by an independent psychopharmacology researcher.
So “you may be right,” but you “may be crazy”/wrong. Thus, despite the fact that most older psychiatrists did not give their clients the common courtesy of treating them in a manner in which they’d like to be treated. We here at MiA need to be respectful of the younger psychiatrists, who hopefully will clean up the mess that the elder psychiatrists created.
Oh, and as one who was defamed as “crazy,” in part, for noticing I could tell my life’s story in music lyrics, that reminds me of these music lyrics.
“You may be right
“I may be crazy
“Oh, but it just may be a lunatic
“You’re looking for”
But I do believe it is time to stop teaching psychiatry in the universities, and stop psych drugging the children. Psychiatry is a “scientifically invalid” industry, which just creates holocaust after holocaust.
“Antidepressants in” ALL “Patients Increase Risk of Death.” So let’s hope and pray the “professionals,” who are handing these neurotoxins out like candy, some day learn this.
And a little reminder, âthe measure of society is how it treats the weakest members.â So neurotoxic poisoning the children is morally reprehensible, as is neurotoxic poisoning the elderly … but so is neurotoxic poisoning anyone. Wake up, doctors!
“what I realized was that I was carefully groomed to disbelieve the people whose health I was trying to take care of.”
Isn’t that a truly shameful aspect of Rockefeller medicine? As a banker’s daughter, I’ll say the doctors should do some research into Rockefeller’s belief system.
“This is one of the most insidious things about the medical profession. We are subtly (or not-so-subtly) taught that we (doctors) know best, no matter what.”
Yet, now, most doctors are claiming ignorance of the common adverse and withdrawal symptoms of the drugs they prescribe.
“Iâve never listened more to my patients than I do now. Iâve never learned more from my patients than I do now. I am constantly learning, growing, and questioning every single day in discerning what step for someone to take next.”
And isn’t that a much more fulfilling way to “practice medicine?” At least as a fellow fan of perpetual learning, who also wants to help the majority, I would think so.
“It is a partnership, not a dictatorship, built on a solid foundation of mutual trust and respect.”
And that’s what all “medical care” should be, but you do point out why forced psychiatric drugging should be ended – although I do understand why such is a controversial subject.
Bottom line is, Jennifer, thank you for questioning, researching, actually respecting your patients, and choosing to be a psychiatrist who actively works to help people get off the psychiatric neurotoxins. We need more (if not all) psychiatrists doing such.
“Freedom is explosive for a repressed person in the beginning, and may even be dangerous, but this is the energy of the organism bursting back through and it is these energies that are the energies of living â AND healing.” Very insightful and true, No-one.
That’s how I felt, once I’d been weaned off the psychiatric neurotoxins. That extra healing energy was probably, in part, due to a drug withdrawal induced “super sensitivity mania.” But it most definitely also had to do with being once again:
“Free at last, free at last
I thank God I’m free at last.”
Gotta love a great public speaker and pastor, with whom I share a birthday. But it is sad that a religion named after Martin Luther is now “partnered with” the systemic child abuse covering up, control freaks, and scientifically “invalid” neurotoxic poisoners of the “mental health professions.”
And it’s also sad that our mainstream medical community deluded themselves into believing opioids were “safe pain meds,” and went off believing all the “BS” lies of the psychiatrists.
Pardon my continued disgust at the continuing modern day “psychiatric holocaust.” An old friend asked me to come to a celebration of life for her parents, so I had to return to my ex-religion. And in as much as it was nice to see some of my old youth group friends, none of whom attend that church now. It was very uncomfortable being around the systemic child abuse covering up, attempted thieving, old people who are running that beautiful old church into the ground.
But I agree,
“Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.”
That is exactly what one does when they escape the satanic psychiatric system. And let’s pray us truth tellers “lead them all in the dance” that leads to common sense, and hopefully someday wisdom. I pray to God, for an end to our modern day psychological and psychiatric industries’ holocaust of millions of innocent humans.
“Iâll be requesting my local library to obtain a copy.” That’s a good idea, Boans. I’ve requested my local library get me research papers that are hidden behind paywalls. Librarians are very nice, and they’ve been really accommodating.
But if a bunch of us critical psychiatry people all go to our local libraries and ask for Moncrieff’s, Levine’s, Whitaker’s, Breggin’s, and other critical psychiatry/psychology doctors’ books … and psychiatry/psychology survivors’ books … I think that’d be a great idea. Thanks, Boans.
And well said, regarding the rest of your comment. If it makes you feel any better, as one who is supposed to be an “architect” or “judge” according to 40 hours of unbiased psychological career testing, I’ve had God seemingly sending people to the “lake of fire” in my dreams, since 2015 (according to my brother, who was listening to me sleep talk).
Not that I personally think God should need a “lake of fire,” since He created the entire universe, so there are likely other less “advanced” worlds, that the evil souls of this planet can go to, to pay for their sins, in a eye for an eye manner. Which I believe is infinitely more just, than “sins of the father” justice.
Thus why would God ever bother empowering satan with some sort of eternal “lake of fire?” Instead, I prefer to think the “fire” may represent light, or an unveiling of the truth.
… And we are all going through an unveiling of the ugly truth, or a “great awakening,” via the internet. But who really knows all the answers … probably only God? Yet the bottom line is, I do believe God is actively preparing for whatever He plans to do, so maintain the hope, and I do believe He’s listening, and acting on your prayers, Boans.
Back to your initial comment, maybe MiA could come up with a list of books for us critical psychiatry people to start requesting our local libraries purchase? I know I’d like to read Laura Delano’s new book, too.
Those of us who have been long time “wack a mole” commenters on MiA noticed decades ago, the need to point out psychiatry’s and psychology’s “wack a mole” problem.
You were given an antidepressant, which supposedly made you manic, thus you’re now “bipolar.” This type of misdiagnosis (according to the DSM-IV-TR at the time), thus malpractice, has happened to lots of us here at MiA.
“Wack a mole”
You’re supposedly “bipolar,” so you must be given huge amounts of antipsychotics, the “schizophrenia” treatments. Why the psych “professionals” believe this is appropriate, I still don’t understand, aside from their need to try to control and create iatrogenic illnesses, for profit, in innocent others.
Despite the fact that it’s already medically known – by all but the non-medically trained psychologists, and the rest of the non-medical researchers of the world – that the antipsychotics can create both the positive and negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via both anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
“Whack a mole.”
Oh, the entirety of the “mental health industry” is a “whack a mole,” iatrogenic illness creating system, with the goal of controlling and stealing from the rest in society (which I do have both medical and legal proof of) … thus it is the opposite of a system that actually helps their “clients.”
Thank you for sharing your story, Phillipp. My personal experience with visiting Austria, is that the Austrian people are wonderfully kind and accepting. I hope your Mad Camp Europe goes well, and that there is a Mad Camp near me some time soon.
If you or Will Hall wants to have a partner in setting one up in the northeast of the US, I hope MiA will allow you and/or Will to have my email (albeit give me a heads up, since I’m better reached by text, and not always good about checking my massive number of emails). But I do have amazing national parks in my area, and so my area would be a great place to have one.
Mutual respect and love are the true root to healing. Sadly today’s DSM deluded “mental health” industries do 100% the opposite of treating others in a mutually respectful and loving manner. And that is not good for either the patients, nor the force drugging “mental health professionals.”
I’m sorry you have been subjected to so much appalling psychiatric abuse and “torture,” Andrew. And I do pray God helps you escape, and thrive.
I will tell you, I’ve personally had some success in dealing with psychiatrists and mainstream medical doctors by politely mentioning that I have become an independent psychopharmacology researcher. And mentioning that the antipsychotics can create both the positive and negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
But on a different note, I will say kudos to you, for not gaining huge amounts of weight on the olanzapine … that alone shows something about your inner strength.
And thank you for sharing your important story about systemic psychiatric abuses.
My PCP requested I do a two hour teaching physical with him and one of his students. I was going through the residual common adverse effects of my prior neurotoxic poisonings, one symptom of which was dyskinesia in my ankle. The student wanted to prescribe a restless legs drug, but couldn’t, because I medically explained the etiology of my wiggly ankle.
The student then wanted to prescribe a “smoking cessation med,” since I smoke. Thankfully, my doctor already knew my “mental health” issues were caused by a misdiagnosis of brain zaps, a common withdrawal symptom of the non-“safe smoking cessation meds” (antidepressants). So I was able to leave that physical with no prescriptions for drugs.
What do you think my ethical doctor was trying to teach his student(s)? Now that we all have the internet, patients can do their own research? Sometimes it’s better not to prescribe, than prescribe? No doubt, my doctor wanted to get to know me a little better, which is understandable, since it was only my second physical with him. And he and I did have a lot of laughs, while “teaching” his student.
But maybe the doctors should start using English, instead of Latin, as their primary language, to avoid miscommunication problems that could result in inappropriate and dangerous prescriptions?
Based upon my experience, the “Global North[‘s] psy industries’ goal seems to be to “disconnect…” everyone and everything “from their historically communal and relational contexts.” Since the American paternalistic DSM deluded industries have a faustian, albeit multi-billion dollar, systemic child abuse and rape covering up system, in cahoots with the mainstream paternalistic religions (at least my ex-religion and former doctors, et al, do).
And I do have written medical and legal evidence that “the Western [psy industries’] model of integration” does 100% the opposite of prioritizing “self-discipline, personal insight, and the idea of an individual ‘heroâs journey.'”
Quite to the contrary, today’s Western psychological industry defames people with scientifically “invalid” DSM disorders, and neurotoxic poisons innocent others. (Please see my other prior comments on MiA for corroborating evidence of this.)
The “invalid” DSM deluded “Western” psychological and psychiatric industries also systemically deny the personal insight of innocent others, do not repent and pay for their obvious malpractice, and then try to steal more than everything from innocent others with appalling conservatorship contracts, to prevent us from writing our own ‘hero’s journey” stories.
Thus I do agree, “psychedelic therapy [should] break from the patterns of traditional psychiatry and offer genuinely transformative possibilities.”
However, this would require a conscious effort to prevent the replication of existing power imbalances, “particularly between the Global North[‘s]” psychological and psychiatric industries ‘patients,’ and themselves, “but also with the Global South[‘s],” hopefully more insightful … and less systemically corrupted …and hopefully more common sense based, non-DSM deluded, “mental health professionals.”
God help us, South America, since the DSM deluded of the US (which is a lot of people), are destroying the US, and their goal – with their “global mental health” initiatives does seem to want to take the DSM deluded “mental health professionals'” desire to neurotoxic poison all people, within all countries – worldwide.
Artwork and writing one’s story – aside from love, heathy eating, and regular moderate exercise – are the best medicines. If that’s what Madzines are meant to incorporate into the “mental health” or “social worker” industries, I’m sure they’re a good idea.
“Voices,” “voices,” “voices” … oh my former child abuse covering up psychologist was obsessed with “voices.” I had no idea what she was talking about, but due to her obsession, I finally confessed there may have been an unknown “voice” I’d heard in Nordstrom’s parking lot.
And such a confession of not knowing who was yelling in a parking lot is what the psychological industry apparently believes is “psychosis” … that, and / or one’s dreams. My former psychologist was crazy, and /or a mentally abusive gaslighter.
Let’s hope and pray AI some day garners insight into the reality that schizophrenia is an iatrogenic illness, created with the schizophrenia “treatments.” The antipsychotics / neuroleptics can create the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, via anticholinergic toxidrome. And the neuroleptics can also create the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
As a female, I must say I am embarrassed this was written by a female psychologist. Especially since, no psychologists should be trying to increase their business, until they have something more than gaslighting and force drugging their clients with neurotoxins, to offer their clients.
Learn to live and let live, scientifically “invalid” psychological and psychiatric industries.
“The first step is acknowledging that deprivation of liberty is a punishment and cannot be a treatment or support for the person[‘]s well being.” Excellent point, Tina.
And since defamation with any of the “invalid” DSM disorders results in a “deprivation of liberty,” neurotoxic poisonings, and/or other “punishment.”
Which means forced, or coerced, “treatment” for any of the “invalid” DSM disorders is medically and morally wrong … and a paradigm change is definitely needed.
Good work, brother Bob! Gotta love those brother Bobs. And definitely, we do need to end the anosognosia / agnosia delusions of the scientifically “invalid” DSM “bible” billers.
Indeed. As one who had a psychologist hand over a – take a percentage of gross thievery contract – combined with an appalling conservative contract, all dressed up disingenuously as an “art manager” contract … all to cover up prior psychological and psychiatric child abuse covering up, and easily recognized medical iatrogenesis, crimes.
Definitely, I have both medical and legal evidence that the only thing that the scientifically “invalid,” “BS” based, Western “mental health professions” actually believe in is greed … staggering avarice.
â’Western depression is not a universal condition,’ and treating it as such risks misallocating precious resources.” Which is what’s been happening in Western civilization for decades.
“Another study found that research in low and middle income countries tends to focus on treating depression rather than preventing it through addressing systematic issues of inequality and injustice” … which is exactly what the Western “mental health” industries systemically do in Western civilization.
The Western “mental health system” is an iatrogenic illness creation system.
“what truly motivates psychiatry (and its assorted minions):” aside from money, “an unconscious fear of” what they can’t bill for, which I guess gets us back to the avarice issues of the so called “mental health professions.”
Tear jerking interview, thanks to both of you. And from the bottom of my heart, my sincerest condolences to Richard’s family and friends. Truly the magnitude of harm that psychiatry is doing, especially to children, is heart breaking.
Thank you for sharing your story, and for all you are doing to help others, including working to make your deceased son’s goal come true. When given lemons, it’s good to remember, sweet lemonade goes well with baseball.
And you are right, covering up child abuse is also a problem for the religious leaders, I had to leave my ex-religion because of their systemic child abuse covering up “partnership” with the “mental health” workers.
Ethical pastors of a different religion confessed this systemic criminal behavior is known as “the dirty little secret of the two original educated professions.”
The “psych meds work” … if the goal of the “psych meds” is to create iatrogenic illnesses with the “psych meds,” for the profit of the “psych” and mainstream medical industries.
Please take Steve’s advice, and read critical psychiatry advocates’ work, specifically Whitaker’s, Moncrief’s, Kirsch’s, Breggin’s, et al.
And, if you also still believe the “antipsychotics” are beneficial, you may even do me the common curtesy of reading my medical research findings. Since the antipsychotics / neuroleptics can create the positive symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome.
Thank you for sharing your story, Jackie. I’m glad you are “now medicine-free and feeling better than ever.” Especially since I’ve seen just horrendous videos of people suffering from benzo withdrawal.
But I could write a blog entitled the same to my former psychiatrists, since they both prescribed egregious anticholinergic toxidrome inducing drug cocktails, despite having been taught in med school, about anticholinergic toxidrome.
“Oh, we’re ‘professionals,” who all now claim to be ignorant of the common adverse and withdrawal effects of the drugs we force and coerce onto innocent others. Pardon my disappointment … and, honestly, my disgust at the scientific fraud based “mental health professions.”
Try politely telling your psychiatrist that you mean no disrespect, but you’ve become an independent psychopharmacology researcher, thus critical psychiatry person. When I was trying to help a loved one in extreme distress, this did result in a young hospital psychiatrist agreeing that he, too, was a critical psychiatry person.
Then politely request to avoid altogether, the anticholinergic drugs (a drug class which includes the antipsychotics) – or be safely weaned off of them – whatever your particular case might involve. Since, if you’re dealing with the “positive symptoms of schizophrenia,” those symptoms can be created with the antipsychotics and/or antidepressants, via anticholinergic toxidrome.
And if you’re dealing with the “negative symptoms of schizophrenia,” those symptoms can be created with the antipsychotics / neuroleptics, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome, as well.
I’m not familiar with your exact situation, Claus. However I hope my decades of research, and experience helping myself and a loved one, may help you too.
But do be forewarned about the fact that withdrawal from the anticholinergic drugs can also cause a drug withdrawal induced “super sensitivity manic psychosis.” So a personalized, slow, hyperbolic, taper is likely best.
“Taking psychiatric medications long-term is like playing Russian roulette.” I was singing “Russian roulette is not the same without a gun,” in relation to psychiatry’s neurotoxins, almost two decade ago.
Great blog, Dr. Witt-Doerring. Thank you for your truth telling, and working to get innocent people off of the psychiatric neurotoxins.
Be careful, No-one, you’re NOT allowed to believe in God or the Holy Spirit, according to the American psych industries. And I do have medical proof of this, written right in my medical records.
And even worse, a non-medically trained American hospital social worker once told me, “I declare so many people to be Jesus, I don’t even remember meeting you.” I didn’t remember meeting her either, which is why I called her.
But that social worker incorrectly declared me to be Jesus, just prior to medically unnecessarily shipping me off to the now FBI convicted Dr. V. R. Kuchipudi, who tried to kill me, so he could do an unneeded tracheotomy on me, for profit. So obviously it’s unwise to ever even mention belief in Jesus to any US “mental health professional” today, too.
Thank you for all your truth telling, Rob. Definitely, change is needed. Especially since the primary actual function of today’s US “mental health professions,” is covering up child abuse and rape, which is illegal behavior, for profit.
“For me, the most critical point raised by Adele Framer, Will Hall, Karen Hoffmann, Angie Peacock, and Dina Tyler is that promoting the belief that severe withdrawal is inevitable for everyone discontinuing psychotropic prescription drugs is both unhelpful and factually incorrect.”
I don’t think that is what “Adele Framer, Will Hall, et al” are promoting. My reading of their article left me feeling that their belief system’s goal is stopping the mainstream psychological and psychiatric industries’ from continuing their systemic “belief that severe withdrawal is inevitable for everyone discontinuing psychotropic prescription drugs” … and that the mainstream psychological and psychiatric industries’ DSM deluded belief system is both unhelpful and factually incorrect,” thus unhelpful for all their clients.
But I will agree, the psychological and psychiatric industries’ systemic crimes against their own countrymen/women are likely much worse in the US, than what is going on in other countries.
Psychology and “Psychiatry [drive] you insane and then [call] you insane.” Indeed.
The ADHD drugs and antidepressants can create the “bipolar” symptoms. And the antipsychotics / neuroleptics can create the positive symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome, and the negative symptoms, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
“‘Iâm a person.’ I think she must have stopped taking [the neurotoxins], because that phrase is unmistakably what almost anyone feels on escaping the drugs.”
Yes, I escaped by going through all the untruths about my real life, written into my psychiatrist’s medical records, while my former psychiatrist was describing my entire real life to be “a credible fictional story” in his medical records. Too crazy for me, highly delusional, former psychiatrist. Bye!
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences, RW.
“At that moment, I saw no purpose in telling them the truth. As they chose to believe that I was a âmentally ill criminalâ, it was safest to say and do nothing. Three individuals had condemned me without evidence. I was outnumbered and began to doubt my own memories and reality.”
That is the goal of gaslighters. I’ve lived it, and learned to avoid it, too. Gaslighting, force, and other lies, seem to be the MO of today’s scientific fraud based “mental health” industries. Despite the fact that it is well known that gaslighting is “mental abuse,” not “mental health care.”
The “mental health” system needs systemic change. Thank you for sharing your story, Cat. God bless and empower you, I pray.
“Foucault reveals how mental phenomena are affected by unstable variables, such as cultural ideas, social contexts, and individual experiences.â And I do agree at least somewhat with Foucault, I think (I did read his works in college), since all the distress and problems I personally dealt with, had to do with cultural, social, and individual experiences … which psychologists incorrectly assumed were personal “genetic” scientifically “invalid” DSM disorders … which they were not.
Although, I must say, in as much as I am now a believer that “God is dead,” and that might be a good thing, since it may mean God has omnipotent power again. I was not a believer in that belief system until 2013, or later, personally.
Foucault’s “early writings examined how psychology, despite its claims to scientific objectivity, remained entangled in social and cultural forces that shaped what was considered normal or pathological.”
Well, and we do have that systemic child abuse covering up “partnership” that the psychological industries do have with the mainstream religions. “The dirty little secret of the two original educated professions,” is still a paternalistic societal problem.
But I do agree, “Unlike physical illness, mental phenomena do not have clearly identifiable lesions or organ damage that can be measured and treated.” So both the scientific fraud based psychological and psychiatric communities have gone in the wrong direction.
“Psychology can never fully distinguish between normal and pathological functions.” I sadly agree, since seemingly all of the psychologists are non-medically trained doctors, who are too ignorant to know the ADHD drugs and antidepressants can create the symptoms of “bipolar.” And what’s sad is too many psychologists are also not smart enough to read the rules in their DSM, and they’re also too ignorant or unethical to also confess, that their psych drugs can also create the symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit disorder.
I could go on, quoting the improprieties that today’s scientific fraud based psychological industry is still participating in, but I’ll leave it for that right now.
Aside to say, I agree with you, Dan, that in as much as we need to rid Western civilization of the scientific fraud based psychological and psychiatric industries, we must also free humanity from the globalist banking system.
In other words, psychology and psychiatry are all about kicking someone when they’re down, under the false guise of “help”? … shocker, that was my experience, too.
And yes, given the fact that all MDs are taught about anticholinergic toxidrome in med school, and all psychiatrists are MDs, the psychiatrists are “knowingly” and intentionally “causing âbrain damageâ in people,” for profit. Sad, but true.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing your research, Robert. I, too, had a spiritual dream misdiagnosed. I am glad, however, that you know God loves you. I believe the same is true for me.
My theory is that a lot of “schizophrenia” is a result of iatrogenesis, since the “schizophrenia” treatments can create the positive symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome. And they can also create the negative symptoms, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
The reality, however Blu, is that since all doctors are taught in med school – including the psychiatrists – that the antidepressants and antipsychotics can create “psychosis,” via anticholinergic toxidrome, your adverse reactions to the psych drugs was not likely “paradoxical.” Not the mention the antipsychotics can also create the negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.

Let’s be realistic. “Therapy-Speak,” should be properly called, debunked DSM ‘bible’ stigmatization / defamation.
Because continued use of the debunked DSM results in “a privatization of distress, where suffering is interpreted as a signal of individual dysfunction.” Well, in my personal case, my distress was caused by the societal dysfunction, that resulted in my – and the entire world’s – legitimate distress at the distressing 9/11/2001 event.
I guess that’s called political abuse of psychology and psychiatry, in America, huh?
If, “Their goal is not to reject therapy altogether, but to propose a form of practice that breaks with the individualizing and depoliticizing tendencies of the therapeutic turn,” then the psychologists need to break from use of their “invalid” psychiatric DSM “bible” … and stop functioning as nothing more than funnels into the “BS” psychiatric forced drugging, iatrogenic illness creating, system.
“More than simply naming problems, therapy-speak [DSM stigmatization-speak] provides tools to manage contradictions without confronting them.” Especially, when it comes to covering up child abuse, which has become, by DSM design, the number one actual function of both the DSM “bible” billing psych industries.
Therapy does “carry unacknowledged harms, especially for those experiencing mild to moderate distress” or none, thus the psych industries should learn to live, and let live, and leave innocent others alone. (It was less than a year ago that I finally got a criminal computer hacking psychologist, who I refused to hire, hopefully forever, out of my computer and phone.)

The psych “professions” do like to silence their clients. I had to leave my former psychiatrist once I realized he had very literally declared my entire life to be “a credible fictional story” in his medical records, as if I would believe his delusions.
Decades after I left that nut job psychiatrist, I was attacked by a psychologist, in a church, who tried to gaslight me into signing a thievery contract. Of course I didn’t sign it. But apparently my art work was “too truthful” for him, at least according to recovered emails I found, after learning this “creepy” psychologist, had been hacking into my computer for years.
And, yes, covering up child abuse is the number one actual societal function of the psych industries, and it’s all by design, according to their debunked DSM.

“behavioral health professionals now lead the response via mobile crisis teams, not law enforcement, such as the officers who handcuffed Isbell.”
Yet the “mental health professions'” goal is taking people to hospitals, for profit, just like the police, government, and paternalistic religions, who own the hospitals.
And I’m not generalizing, I’m speaking from personal experience, as one with medical evidence of eleven anticholinergic toxidrome attempted murders, by the now FBI convicted Dr. V. R. Kuchipudi, and his psychiatric “snowing” partner-in-crime, Dr. Humaira Saiyed, who deserves to be arrested, too.
I dealt with, if I recall correctly, just over $30,000 of fraud based “treatment,” paid for by my insurance company, for Kuchipidi and Saiyed’s anticholinergic toxidrome attempted murders. But Kuchipudi and Saiyed were hoping to make their fraud from my medical insurance carrier over $120,000, with an unneeded tracheotomy … since I was fraudulently admitted to that hospital, with a non-existent “chronic airway obstruction.”

Yes, the psych professions do target middle aged women. I went into a hospital due to a pulled muscle over my heart, it was caused by exercising with weights that were too heavy – which had nothing to do with depression.
I wasn’t allowed to leave that ER without some doctor coming up to me and asking, “Are you depressed?” I told him, “No, and I’m allergic to the anticholinergic drugs.” I sat there and watched him trying to comprehend what I had just said, it took him a minute. Then he just walked away, and I was allowed to leave.
I did a portrait of the last psychologist who medically unnecessarily approached me, in a church, not a medical setting. I call the painting, “Portrait of a Doctorate in Gaslighting.” He spent two years harassing (trying to gaslight) me into signing a thievery contract.

I haven’t yet looked into all your links, Tom, but thanks for the thought provoking commentary and links.
But I will agree, “depression does not cause a lack of hope,” unless it’s “clinical depression,” which too many within the psych professions claim is “a life long, incurable, genetic illness,” caused by a “chemical imbalance,” “just like diabetes” … all of which is blatant lies.
Meaning these psych professions are telling blatant lies to their clients, in order to steal people’s hope, for profit.

Not to change the subject, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the ways in which today’s “mental health” industries are innately un-American.
Like, for example, since the “mental health” industries are “partnered with” both the religions and the governments, that has destroyed our Bill of Rights claim that in the US, there should be a “separation of church and state.” The “mental health” industries have destroyed that right of American citizens.
And, for example, since most of the antipsychotics are dopamine antagonists, meaning they block dopamine. But since everyone basically knows dopamine is a “feel good hormone,” as is also serotonin, which the antidepressants block.

I, too, had the common symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome misdiagnosed (according to the DSM-IV-TR at the time). And, I agree, the brain zaps were bizarre, and a physical symptom that made you think it wise to go to a “head doctor.” What a mistake!

At least there are some good British psychologists and psychiatrists speaking out against the fraud and harm of psychiatry. In the States, I think it’s likely much worse than in the UK, perhaps in part because we have too many “mental health professionals?”
For goodness sake, I had one psychiatrist – who was the psychiatric “snowing” partner of the now FBI convicted V.R. Kuchipudi – who spent years fraudulently listing me as her “out patient,” despite the fact I was never her “out patient.”
And a decade plus later I was also medically unnecessarily approached by a psychologist, who tried to gaslight me into signing a take a percentage of gross thievery contract, combined with a conservatorship contract, that was disingenuously claimed to be an “art manager” contract – of course I refused to sign his appalling thievery contract. But I did find out a few years after my family left the church where we met this psychologist, that this psychologist had been illegally hacking into my computer for years.
So I agree with you the hate, of the scientifically “invalid” “mental health professionals” towards those of us mothers who stand against child abuse in my case, is most definitely blatantly obvious – to the point of being downright criminal behavior. And it was my love, in part for my young children who needed me, that helped save me, too.

What the “psych” industries in the US have done is not nearly as “complex” as they like to proclaim. The “bipolar” diagnosis is a good example of this.
If one goes to a “psych professional,” (due, for example, for questioning “brain zaps,” which are a common symptom of withdrawal from the non-“safe smoking cessation meds” / antidepressants) and claims to not be depressed. Then the DSM “bible” billers just automatically “diagnoses” the person as “manic,” thus “bipolar” … as if there are only two states of being, which is ridiculous. The “bipolar diagnosis” itself is a “Catch 22.”
And how ironic, the “bad fix” on my broken bone doctor, did call himself “Dr. 22,” in my medical records.

Thank you for sharing that blog. Forgive my ignorance, but I didn’t see a comment section on Mad in Norway … and I’m not even certain what language is spoken in Norway, Norwegian? but of course.

It’s a complex subject, I will admit.
As one whose introduction to the psych drugs was by a, dangerously paranoid of a non-existent malpractice suit PCP, who wanted to cover up her husband’s “bad fix” on a broken bone of mine – which I’d call criminal abuse of psychiatry. And since my second opinion doctor was a psychologist who, according to her, and all my family’s medical records (and my later psych research), misdiagnosed me based upon her pastor’s and a pedophile’s wife’s lies. Well, since covering up child abuse is illegal, that was also criminal abuse of psychiatry.
And as one who had one of my force drugging hospital doctors eventually convicted by the FBI for having lots of patients medically unnecessarily shipped long distances to himself, then his “snowing” psychiatric partner massively neurotoxic poisoned people in the hope they would stop breathing, so they could do unneeded tracheotomies on people, for profit – a third form of criminal abuse of psychiatry.
And I was also attacked by another psychologist, decades after my escape, who tried to gaslight me into signing a contract that was a take a percentage of gross thievery contract, combined with an appalling conservative contract, all disingenuously dressed up as an “art manager” contract – and use of those conservatorship contracts is one more form of criminal abuse of psychiatry/psychology as well, IMHO. Of course I didn’t sign the contract. Oh, but I did learn a couple years after that, that psychologist had been hacking into my computer, for years, which is also illegal.
Well, obviously I know the “right” to force drug people is being systemically abused by criminal doctors (and pastors, et al). But I did also have much more mutually respectful interactions with psychiatrists, after I’d researched into the psych industries for a couple decades.
I had a loved one who was more “psychotic” than anyone I’d ever seen, who did eventually need to be held against his will in a psych facility briefly. The psychiatrists I dealt with at that hospital were embarrassed that I’d dealt with the “bad fix” covered up with complex iatrogenesis. But they were kind enough to avoid the anticholinergic drugs, and got my loved one calmed down, and no longer psychotic, on a low dose of lithium, within about a week and a half. And my loved one was weaned off that lithium pretty quickly.
So, in as much as I know there is way too much forced psych drugging for nefarious reasons, I also know it’s not easy to deal with a large psychotic person oneself. So the legality and/or need for forced treatment is a complex subject, but the systemic corruption of the psych industries should be addressed, too.

“These findings resonate with previous research on young peopleâs perceptions of goal-setting, suggesting that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable.”
Well, of course “a one-size-fits-all approach” is inappropriate.
“For young people still developing a sense of self, being evaluated every week can heighten self-criticism and inhibit the kind of open, exploratory process that therapy is meant to provide.”
Especially when the children are being defamed with the “invalid” DSM stigmatizations in “therapy,” which is what all of today’s DSM “bible” billers / psychiatrists / psychologists / social workers / CPS workers, et al do. And the insane social workers, who make up lies about the best and brightest, award winning, children of America, since the school districts are not actually “equipped to deal with the smartest American children,” are actually the DSM deluded / insane people. This is a societal problem.
“Additionally, clinicians must consider how their approach to goal-setting may inadvertently pathologize natural and contextually appropriate responses to life challenges.”
Well, since my personal experience with the reductionist, DSM deluded “bible” billers – many of whom I had to ask, in my “mean mom voice,” Does anyone here speak English? – is that they do not know how to treat innocent others in a manner, that they’d like to be treated.
“Ensuring young people feel heard, supported, and respected throughout their therapeutic journey is essential.”
Yet this is the opposite of what today’s DSM “bible” billers do. So we should get the scientific fraud based DSM “bible” deluded “mental health professionals” out of the schools.
“This study adds to mounting concerns that some evidence-based tools, while well-intentioned, may undermine the core principles of healing, especially when they are applied without sensitivity to context, culture, trauma, and identity. For young people still developing a sense of self, being evaluated every week can heighten self-criticism and inhibit the kind of open, exploratory process that therapy is meant to provide.”
I agree, let’s end the mass psychological and psychiatric drugging of children in schools, and the scientific fraud based psychologic defamation, with the “invalid” psychiatric DSM disorders, of children in our schools.
“In line with trauma-informed and harm-reduction frameworks, the authors call for a more collaborative, consent-based approach to goal-setting.”
Yes, the ending of all forced and coerced psychological and psychiatric drugging of innocent children should end … as should all such communications with our children.
“This study joins a growing body of research questioning dominant paradigms in school mental health.”
“the need for trauma-informed, context-sensitive approachesâones that center lived experience, resist over-standardization (as the DSM deluded do), and take seriously the structural and cultural factors that shape young peopleâs emotional lives in and out of schools,” is needed.

“If we come to view symptoms as representative of underlying psychopathology in need of our attentionâas depth psychology doesâthen drowning out the voice of the psyche is contrary to the nature of the psyche itself.”
That’s exactly what my former DSM deluded psychologist did, by railroading me off to a psychiatrist within only two appointments, so the psychiatrist could also deny my dreams might have validity, and anticholinergic toxidrome poison me.
IMHO, the non-medically trained psychological industry really should go back to valuing their client’s psyches, including their dreams (like, for example, not claiming all dreams are “psychosis”). And they should divorce themselves from the scientifically “invalid,” systemic, neurotoxic poisoners of psychiatry.
I mean in reality right now, the psych industries are very literally “conspiring” against everyone in our society who is not considered to be a so called “professional;” so they may maintain a Ponzi scheme of a bad banking system, so they may maintain a failed pharmaceutical based “Rockefeller medical system,” so they maintain the appalling crimes of the maritime based legal system, so they may maintain “the status quo.”
When, in reality, it is the bad systems that need to be gotten rid of, and a lot of undeserved forgiveness is going to need to be given to those working within those bad systems. But God did point out in the real Bible that repentance, and especially changing from one’s evil ways, is needed … to fix society’s real problems.

“authors Santiago Delboy and Linda Michaels (co-founders of PsiAN) surveyed over 1,500 adults across the United States. Their results suggest that people still want the kind of therapy that takes time, fosters deep understanding, and treats the whole person.”
Yet the “scientific fraud” based DSM “bible” based psychiatric / psychological, et al, deluded industries, went in the opposite direction.
But, since the scientific fraud based DSM deluded have already had their DSM be declared to be “invalid,” let’s hope someday soon those who work within those industries, may soon overcome their delusions of grandeur, that they are the judges of all of humanity, as opposed to that being God’s job. It’s “complex,” yet not that “complex” to those of us who know what is actually going on.
Let’s hope and pray, some day, that those of the “mental health professions,” who were unwisely given the role of playing “judge, jury, and executioner” to the masses … by our seemingly deluded governments and religions of Western civilization … someday understand the fact that God’s the ultimate judge, not the DSM “bible” billers … nor any government, nor religion.

“In a way, evidence-based medicine has degraded clinical practice.” And “evidence based medicine” is largely a euphemism for “Rockefeller medicine.”
“What I mean is that with this idea that you have guidelines that apply to everyone, whereas it is the clinical judgment of the clinician who has to interpret those guidelines. But clinical judgment means independence, it means not following orders, not following guidelines, and itâs very dangerous.”
This is a very important confession by a medical professional … and seemingly, the possible failure of all of Rockefeller medicine, in the long run (we here at MiA may be the “canaries in the coal mine” of all of Rockefeller medicine).
And I found that psychiatry / psychology are so DSM deluded / clinically controlled / avarice controlled, that all they seem to do is incorrectly assume everyone who comes to them has a “life long, incurable, genetic mental illness,” with zero actual proof, while declaring all of a person’s real life to be “a credible fictional story.”
But I couldn’t agree more, “clinical judgment means independence, it means not following orders, not following guidelines,” in other words it means actually behaving like a person’s caring doctor. But this is particularly an issue in the “mental health” arena, since the current mainstream psychiatric DSM guidelines recommend anticholinergic toxidrome poisoning almost all their clients.
I highly recommend reading Rockefeller’s belief system and goals, since after doing such, one does start questioning the entirety of how the medical / pharmaceutical / insurance industrial complex is structured … like, for example, is it wise for any doctor to put an insurance company’s interests above their clients’ interests? No, but that’s how Rockefeller medicine is structured.
Oh, how convenient, Jimmy Dore and James Corbett touched on this subject in Jimmy’s interview with James today. (BTW, I highly recommend Corbett’s research and reporting, and Jimmy is at least sometimes funny, when reporting on the inconvenient truths.”)

Yet it is very sad that too many of today’s psychiatrists and mainstream doctors consider “not following orders, not following guidelines … very dangerous.” It has resulted in a disastrous and deadly “mental health care” system.

“Two included studies found that indoor ALAN exposure was linked to manic symptoms in people with bipolar disorder.”
Well, since the “mental health professions” believe “all distress is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain” (despite their “chemical imbalance” theory being debunked decades ago), and “genetics” (despite having zero evidence of this), wouldn’t mania caused by light issues be considered a misdiagnosis?
“The authors note that past research has linked exposure to light pollution at early ages to younger ages of bipolar disorder onset.”
I’m pretty certain the appalling “childhood bipolar epidemic” was caused by the fact that our society didn’t used to psych drug children, and the iatrogenic issues pointed out in Robert Whitacker’s “Anatomy of an Epidemic.” Although, I have zero doubt “artificial light at night (ALAN)” may be a part of the problem.
I agree, “Research into mood disorders in the post-modern era should not underestimate the effects of urbanization and should thus be aware of the detrimental effects of various sources of pollutants on the development and exacerbation of these conditions.” And that “the results of this review suggest how building more livable cities that protect public health should include eco-friendly lighting, alongside other factors, according to the principles of sustainability.â
But I will politely point out, as a 14 year member of the planning commission of my former village, that we did have light pollution issues written into our laws, decades ago. So, IMHO, this is, once again, having to point out the lack of common sense of our scientific fraud based “mental health professions,” to themselves.

“what I realized was that I was carefully groomed to disbelieve the people whose health I was trying to take care of.”
Isn’t that a truly shameful aspect of Rockefeller medicine? As a banker’s daughter, I’ll say the doctors should do some research into Rockefeller’s belief system.
“This is one of the most insidious things about the medical profession. We are subtly (or not-so-subtly) taught that we (doctors) know best, no matter what.”
Yet, now, most doctors are claiming ignorance of the common adverse and withdrawal symptoms of the drugs they prescribe.
“Iâve never listened more to my patients than I do now. Iâve never learned more from my patients than I do now. I am constantly learning, growing, and questioning every single day in discerning what step for someone to take next.”
And isn’t that a much more fulfilling way to “practice medicine?” At least as a fellow fan of perpetual learning, who also wants to help the majority, I would think so.
“It is a partnership, not a dictatorship, built on a solid foundation of mutual trust and respect.”
And that’s what all “medical care” should be, but you do point out why forced psychiatric drugging should be ended – although I do understand why such is a controversial subject.

And well said, regarding the rest of your comment. If it makes you feel any better, as one who is supposed to be an “architect” or “judge” according to 40 hours of unbiased psychological career testing, I’ve had God seemingly sending people to the “lake of fire” in my dreams, since 2015 (according to my brother, who was listening to me sleep talk).
Not that I personally think God should need a “lake of fire,” since He created the entire universe, so there are likely other less “advanced” worlds, that the evil souls of this planet can go to, to pay for their sins, in a eye for an eye manner. Which I believe is infinitely more just, than “sins of the father” justice.
Thus why would God ever bother empowering satan with some sort of eternal “lake of fire?” Instead, I prefer to think the “fire” may represent light, or an unveiling of the truth.
… And we are all going through an unveiling of the ugly truth, or a “great awakening,” via the internet. But who really knows all the answers … probably only God? Yet the bottom line is, I do believe God is actively preparing for whatever He plans to do, so maintain the hope, and I do believe He’s listening, and acting on your prayers, Boans.

Those of us who have been long time “wack a mole” commenters on MiA noticed decades ago, the need to point out psychiatry’s and psychology’s “wack a mole” problem.
You were given an antidepressant, which supposedly made you manic, thus you’re now “bipolar.” This type of misdiagnosis (according to the DSM-IV-TR at the time), thus malpractice, has happened to lots of us here at MiA.
“Wack a mole”
You’re supposedly “bipolar,” so you must be given huge amounts of antipsychotics, the “schizophrenia” treatments. Why the psych “professionals” believe this is appropriate, I still don’t understand, aside from their need to try to control and create iatrogenic illnesses, for profit, in innocent others.
Despite the fact that it’s already medically known – by all but the non-medically trained psychologists, and the rest of the non-medical researchers of the world – that the antipsychotics can create both the positive and negative symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via both anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
“Whack a mole.”
Oh, the entirety of the “mental health industry” is a “whack a mole,” iatrogenic illness creating system, with the goal of controlling and stealing from the rest in society (which I do have both medical and legal proof of) … thus it is the opposite of a system that actually helps their “clients.”

My PCP requested I do a two hour teaching physical with him and one of his students. I was going through the residual common adverse effects of my prior neurotoxic poisonings, one symptom of which was dyskinesia in my ankle. The student wanted to prescribe a restless legs drug, but couldn’t, because I medically explained the etiology of my wiggly ankle.
The student then wanted to prescribe a “smoking cessation med,” since I smoke. Thankfully, my doctor already knew my “mental health” issues were caused by a misdiagnosis of brain zaps, a common withdrawal symptom of the non-“safe smoking cessation meds” (antidepressants). So I was able to leave that physical with no prescriptions for drugs.
What do you think my ethical doctor was trying to teach his student(s)? Now that we all have the internet, patients can do their own research? Sometimes it’s better not to prescribe, than prescribe? No doubt, my doctor wanted to get to know me a little better, which is understandable, since it was only my second physical with him. And he and I did have a lot of laughs, while “teaching” his student.
But maybe the doctors should start using English, instead of Latin, as their primary language, to avoid miscommunication problems that could result in inappropriate and dangerous prescriptions?

Based upon my experience, the “Global North[‘s] psy industries’ goal seems to be to “disconnect…” everyone and everything “from their historically communal and relational contexts.” Since the American paternalistic DSM deluded industries have a faustian, albeit multi-billion dollar, systemic child abuse and rape covering up system, in cahoots with the mainstream paternalistic religions (at least my ex-religion and former doctors, et al, do).
And I do have written medical and legal evidence that “the Western [psy industries’] model of integration” does 100% the opposite of prioritizing “self-discipline, personal insight, and the idea of an individual ‘heroâs journey.'”
Quite to the contrary, today’s Western psychological industry defames people with scientifically “invalid” DSM disorders, and neurotoxic poisons innocent others. (Please see my other prior comments on MiA for corroborating evidence of this.)
The “invalid” DSM deluded “Western” psychological and psychiatric industries also systemically deny the personal insight of innocent others, do not repent and pay for their obvious malpractice, and then try to steal more than everything from innocent others with appalling conservatorship contracts, to prevent us from writing our own ‘hero’s journey” stories.
Thus I do agree, “psychedelic therapy [should] break from the patterns of traditional psychiatry and offer genuinely transformative possibilities.”
However, this would require a conscious effort to prevent the replication of existing power imbalances, “particularly between the Global North[‘s]” psychological and psychiatric industries ‘patients,’ and themselves, “but also with the Global South[‘s],” hopefully more insightful … and less systemically corrupted …and hopefully more common sense based, non-DSM deluded, “mental health professionals.”

Try politely telling your psychiatrist that you mean no disrespect, but you’ve become an independent psychopharmacology researcher, thus critical psychiatry person. When I was trying to help a loved one in extreme distress, this did result in a young hospital psychiatrist agreeing that he, too, was a critical psychiatry person.
Then politely request to avoid altogether, the anticholinergic drugs (a drug class which includes the antipsychotics) – or be safely weaned off of them – whatever your particular case might involve. Since, if you’re dealing with the “positive symptoms of schizophrenia,” those symptoms can be created with the antipsychotics and/or antidepressants, via anticholinergic toxidrome.

I’m not familiar with your exact situation, Claus. However I hope my decades of research, and experience helping myself and a loved one, may help you too.
But do be forewarned about the fact that withdrawal from the anticholinergic drugs can also cause a drug withdrawal induced “super sensitivity manic psychosis.” So a personalized, slow, hyperbolic, taper is likely best.

“Taking psychiatric medications long-term is like playing Russian roulette.” I was singing “Russian roulette is not the same without a gun,” in relation to psychiatry’s neurotoxins, almost two decade ago.
Great blog, Dr. Witt-Doerring. Thank you for your truth telling, and working to get innocent people off of the psychiatric neurotoxins.

Be careful, No-one, you’re NOT allowed to believe in God or the Holy Spirit, according to the American psych industries. And I do have medical proof of this, written right in my medical records.
And even worse, a non-medically trained American hospital social worker once told me, “I declare so many people to be Jesus, I don’t even remember meeting you.” I didn’t remember meeting her either, which is why I called her.
But that social worker incorrectly declared me to be Jesus, just prior to medically unnecessarily shipping me off to the now FBI convicted Dr. V. R. Kuchipudi, who tried to kill me, so he could do an unneeded tracheotomy on me, for profit. So obviously it’s unwise to ever even mention belief in Jesus to any US “mental health professional” today, too.
Thank you for all your truth telling, Rob. Definitely, change is needed. Especially since the primary actual function of today’s US “mental health professions,” is covering up child abuse and rape, which is illegal behavior, for profit.

“For me, the most critical point raised by Adele Framer, Will Hall, Karen Hoffmann, Angie Peacock, and Dina Tyler is that promoting the belief that severe withdrawal is inevitable for everyone discontinuing psychotropic prescription drugs is both unhelpful and factually incorrect.”
I don’t think that is what “Adele Framer, Will Hall, et al” are promoting. My reading of their article left me feeling that their belief system’s goal is stopping the mainstream psychological and psychiatric industries’ from continuing their systemic “belief that severe withdrawal is inevitable for everyone discontinuing psychotropic prescription drugs” … and that the mainstream psychological and psychiatric industries’ DSM deluded belief system is both unhelpful and factually incorrect,” thus unhelpful for all their clients.
But I will agree, the psychological and psychiatric industries’ systemic crimes against their own countrymen/women are likely much worse in the US, than what is going on in other countries.

Psychology and “Psychiatry [drive] you insane and then [call] you insane.” Indeed.
The ADHD drugs and antidepressants can create the “bipolar” symptoms. And the antipsychotics / neuroleptics can create the positive symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome, and the negative symptoms, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
“‘Iâm a person.’ I think she must have stopped taking [the neurotoxins], because that phrase is unmistakably what almost anyone feels on escaping the drugs.”
Yes, I escaped by going through all the untruths about my real life, written into my psychiatrist’s medical records, while my former psychiatrist was describing my entire real life to be “a credible fictional story” in his medical records. Too crazy for me, highly delusional, former psychiatrist. Bye!
Thank you for sharing your story and experiences, RW.

“At that moment, I saw no purpose in telling them the truth. As they chose to believe that I was a âmentally ill criminalâ, it was safest to say and do nothing. Three individuals had condemned me without evidence. I was outnumbered and began to doubt my own memories and reality.”
That is the goal of gaslighters. I’ve lived it, and learned to avoid it, too. Gaslighting, force, and other lies, seem to be the MO of today’s scientific fraud based “mental health” industries. Despite the fact that it is well known that gaslighting is “mental abuse,” not “mental health care.”
The “mental health” system needs systemic change. Thank you for sharing your story, Cat. God bless and empower you, I pray.

Brilliant comment, Dan. Thank you.
“Foucault reveals how mental phenomena are affected by unstable variables, such as cultural ideas, social contexts, and individual experiences.â And I do agree at least somewhat with Foucault, I think (I did read his works in college), since all the distress and problems I personally dealt with, had to do with cultural, social, and individual experiences … which psychologists incorrectly assumed were personal “genetic” scientifically “invalid” DSM disorders … which they were not.
Although, I must say, in as much as I am now a believer that “God is dead,” and that might be a good thing, since it may mean God has omnipotent power again. I was not a believer in that belief system until 2013, or later, personally.
Foucault’s “early writings examined how psychology, despite its claims to scientific objectivity, remained entangled in social and cultural forces that shaped what was considered normal or pathological.”
Well, and we do have that systemic child abuse covering up “partnership” that the psychological industries do have with the mainstream religions. “The dirty little secret of the two original educated professions,” is still a paternalistic societal problem.
But I do agree, “Unlike physical illness, mental phenomena do not have clearly identifiable lesions or organ damage that can be measured and treated.” So both the scientific fraud based psychological and psychiatric communities have gone in the wrong direction.
“Psychology can never fully distinguish between normal and pathological functions.” I sadly agree, since seemingly all of the psychologists are non-medically trained doctors, who are too ignorant to know the ADHD drugs and antidepressants can create the symptoms of “bipolar.” And what’s sad is too many psychologists are also not smart enough to read the rules in their DSM, and they’re also too ignorant or unethical to also confess, that their psych drugs can also create the symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome and neuroleptic induced deficit disorder.

I could go on, quoting the improprieties that today’s scientific fraud based psychological industry is still participating in, but I’ll leave it for that right now.
Aside to say, I agree with you, Dan, that in as much as we need to rid Western civilization of the scientific fraud based psychological and psychiatric industries, we must also free humanity from the globalist banking system.

In other words, psychology and psychiatry are all about kicking someone when they’re down, under the false guise of “help”? … shocker, that was my experience, too.
And yes, given the fact that all MDs are taught about anticholinergic toxidrome in med school, and all psychiatrists are MDs, the psychiatrists are “knowingly” and intentionally “causing âbrain damageâ in people,” for profit. Sad, but true.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing your research, Robert. I, too, had a spiritual dream misdiagnosed. I am glad, however, that you know God loves you. I believe the same is true for me.

Lol, yes, I had the misfortune of dealing with some of those “BAD” doctors.

My theory is that a lot of “schizophrenia” is a result of iatrogenesis, since the “schizophrenia” treatments can create the positive symptoms of “schizophrenia,” via anticholinergic toxidrome. And they can also create the negative symptoms, via neuroleptic induced deficit syndrome.
