Just another marketing arm of the pharmaceutical companies….part of the drug cartel.
The system needs to keep everyone in line…..stay between the white lines or you will end up in jail or worse yet in a psych ward.
There is no room for critical thinkers, artists, musicians, rebels..it is all about control and profit. Put the dissidents on haldol and tamp um down.
Just remember the immortal words of Oprah, Hillary, Peterson…you can be anything you want, just work hard and ( PLAY BY THE RULES ) their rules.
“We have excepted the ideology that governance is about maximizing corporate profit at the expense of the citizenry.” Chris Hedges
This is such a great start. Simply being human with flaws, people can feel human again and accepted again.
I gave up fighting psychiatry, they have billions of dollars to squish people like me. Do an end run..
What a sick institution….torturing people and making money doing it. Who is the sane person? Not the psychiatrist.
Very nice interview. Thanks Robert.
“No one wants to be lied to until you tell them the truth.”
If they were giving me shocks and calling it therapy I would behave however they wanted me to. Behavior modification.
Nancy would you still love me if I did not get vaccinated?
I would say they are starting to ” Circle the Wagons” , or perhaps telling the surfs that they need to run inside the castle, the barbarians are coming…..Bob you don’t appear to be a barbarian….lol

Warm lines are terrific, of can be. Here is a webinar on a town in Tennessee where they are doing lots of peer run.
There is no need to conflate mental health as an issue that can only be addressed by ” Experts ” . Have we so lost our humanity that we can’t be there for others, give them the space to express their anger, frustration, fears, confusion all things that we ourselves are concerned about. Don’t worry if you don’t have the answers, the ” experts ” don’t have them either, perhaps there are no answers, but we certainly can listen without pulling out the mental health care literally. Reach in our wallet and retrieve a business card given to us buy a friend of a ” professional ” Why can’t we just listen to people express real emotions? That doesn’t sound like to much to ask.
Not only does listening without interruptions, without judgment, with an open heart empower our friends it very much empowers us, perhaps it even re-establishes our humanity.
“Indeed, no social emotion is more widespread today than the conviction of personal powerlessness, the sense of being beset, beleaguered, and persecuted.” Arthur M Schlesinger Jr.
Experts have taken away our power to be compassionate? This is the direction they are taking us in all aspects of life. Trust the experts, remember ” You are not an expert ”
The truth is we don’t trust ourselves……..Terrance McKenna puts it this way:
“ We are mercilessly worked over by these informational hierarchies that disempower us that take away from the power of our own immediate experiences”
Get with the program yin yang. Obviously we need to make psych meds available to those people who don’t know they need them………we can simply expand the market for them by treating all those people. Great marketing don’t you think?
Gina
Your suffering is so deeply concerning…Perhaps the fact the ” care ” is hours away is a wonderful thing. There is no known treatment for depression. Perhaps you are destined to take the hero’s journey. Which means you are left to you own devices.
My friend who is suffering as well has been doing cannabis edibles….he visits his dispensary and tells them he is looking for a strain that will relax him. Then he starts with a very small amount , you can always do more next time . This might help your ability to swallow.
Personally I get in my car and drive. In my care I can scream as loud as I can. That gets rid of a lot of tension in my throat. Lots of tension. When I view the world as it is…not how I want to to be…..I do need to scream.
Peter thank you so much for your tireless work….so appreciated..
Awesome….simply awesome.
What follows is an article that really spoke to me regarding this story about Thomas Insel.
Capitalists excel at finding ways to profit from disaster.
When it comes to protecting human beings, capitalists are absolutely abysmal. Extracting capital from human labor creates massive social and environmental harm. Capitalists cannot reduce this harm without lowering their profits and becoming less competitive. Susan Rosenthal—-Rebel Minds
Capitalism is the accumulation of money. Plenty of wealthy people are caught up in the game, work hard, play by the rules and you to can be anything you want.
“the mental-health’ industry was not established to support people, but to individualize and medicalize and profit from the social misery created by capitalist rule.” Susan Rosenthal (2019). Rebel Minds
It is fun to fake mental illness you get to take all those cool drugs.

Thank you so much for the fine work you are doing. Deciphering all the jargon and rendering it meaningful to regular people. Oops I almost said meaningful to normal people, then I remembered that it is not normal to be normal.
Thanks

Would someone tell me what this means :Researchers should accept that subjects in trials and real-life are no more drug-naïve, or even drug-free, the rule is being under polypharmacy.”
Nice work Peter. Thanks
Stigma, from the point of view of a parent might be the horror at being told your son/daughter has something wrong with their brain for which there is no cure and therefor no hope, none, only the fantasy of the possibility of a pill that someday will make that brain all well again and give your child back to you just as they used to be. That look the parent gives their child, the look of pity. That is stigma. It is the look of pity. The look of hopelessness.

Educating the general public is very important. There are ways to do that. Start a “metope” group around mental health. Start a HVN group, even if you don’t you can get it rolling and then help someone get training.
I have referred a lot of people to the interview on 60 minutes with Leslie Stalls and Irving Kirsch. He did a fantastic study on the placebo affect of SSRI’s and found that only one in ten people are “helped” by them. The guy from big pharma agreed and said that was a good result. Of course that does not take into account the unbelievable side effects.
Watch for the ” brown shirts “

Capitalism leads toTotalitarianism

Thank you so much for bringing this book to my attention. I do not think my opinion differs much if at all with the authors, not just regarding the use of psychiatry to ” help people and their suffering ” or as Rosenthal correctly asserts make a ton of money. It might have been you that used this statement in a previous blog.
“Psychiatry has turned out to be the practice of using someone’s suffering against them for profit.”
I use that as my signature in my emails.
Thanks again

You make an excellent point. They are not ” side affects ” they are things the drugs do to people and you can count on them.

Michael is there someway you can be cloned? A little joke but seriously how do people come to that place where they can listen to people in distress and pain, we seem so afraid, as if the pain of others might draw our suffering to the surface where it will be exposed and permanent.
You do make us stronger. Thank you.
Regarding “ psychiatric researchers “. It is shameful for those “ psychiatric researchers “ to even talk about bias. Shouldn’t they be much more concerned about the bias when testing is done by the drug companies to get the FDA approval. They should be far more concerned not only about the tests but also those results that do not get published. The bad ones are locked from public view and require a “freedom of information act” to unlock. That should be more concerning if they are truly interested in the welfare of people. Bad even if there were no serious side affects. And all the while promoting those anti-depressants to “ make people happy”. As if “Peoples happiness is most certainly their primary concern.”
WOW !!!!

Thanks for this info. I am working to reform our care in my city and will certain want to get that our local expenses from medicaid.
