The Myths Promoted by Psychiatry and Pharmaceutical Companies about Anti-Depressants

According to a Recent CNN Article about Female Teen Depression
A professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center and a co-author of a recent study. "The new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics highlights that most adolescents with depression do not receive treatment for their symptoms and underscores the need for increased attention to this condition."
What the report fails to disclose is that anti-depressants don’t work and are a complete failure. Another mental health professional Dr. David Healy indicates that psychiatry is gone astray. He indicates there are several myths about depression. One is that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance. This myth is often used in pharmaceutical advertising. The truth is psychiatry has no idea the interplay of serotonin and biochemical processes. He indicates there is no chemical imbalance to begin with. The body corrects itself if there are health issues. By using psychotropic drugs the psychiatrist, doctor and pharmaceutical firm creates the imbalance.
Another myth he discloses is that psychotropic drugs is like insulin for diabetes. This claim is used in advertising in radio, TV, and promoted by psych’s and MD’s. The truth is that a patient lacks serotonin. A diabetes patient lacks insulin so they need insulin injections to survive. Depressed patients have no lack of serotonin, which pharmaceutical drug pushers claim to promote.
Essentially the use of anti-depressants has no science behind it. If a pharma firm, psychiatrics and drug pushing MD gives a teen a psych drug they are doing so without any science to confirm their claims. They are lying on TV, Radio, and Internet and Print ads that a person lacks serotonin, and that it cures the person ailment.
Another major myth is that psych drugs keeps patients healthy. This is a huge lie. Studies show that the increased use of these useless drugs increases normally transient problems into chronic ones. The number of disabled mentally ill has exploded in Western Countries since the huge promotion of psychotic drugs. Psych’es also claim it is rare that depressed people on their antipsychotics become bi-polar. That is patently untrue. Bi-polar ‘diagnosis’ has increased tremendously in the 20 years since anti-depressants and psychotics were universally promoted as a cure drug.
Remember psychiatry is the father of lobotomies (using an ice pick to fix mentally ill). They still use strait-jackets and ECT (Electric Shock Treatments). If you are referred to a psychiatrist then remember who they are.
