Depressed Man Charged with Murder at Kentucky homeowners meeting Shooting

News reports indicate that Mahmoud Yousef Hindi, 55, of Louisville Kentucky with familiar ties to Jordan has been in jail since the shooting last week at a meeting of the Spring Creek Homeowners Association. He is being held without bond. He killed a 73 and 69 year old men last week. Police indicated that he has had numerous disputes with the homeowners association. Hindi gave up his medical license due to suffering severe depression. The shooting came after a year of disagreements between Hindi and the association over the size and construction of his fence. News reports have quoted him as saying "As I always tell ... I will protect the sacred interest of my kids even if it comes to killing and even if I lose my own life in the course of doing so," Hindi wrote. "Thank God the house is paid off. I can pass away in peace with no concerns." Severe depression virtually always means the use of antidepressants, especially so for a doctor as they are the main source of antidepressant distribution. It is not known what type of antidepressants. We are unsure if he even took antidepressants per the reports but it is likely based on history of their distribution. A simple homeowners dispute festered up into the death of two innocent seniors with the likely trigger that triggered the gun? Pharmaceutical drugs!

FROM PSYCHSEARCH.NET BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD TERMINATES ALL FLORIDA PSYCHIATRISTS

One Year Later By Ken Kramer August 15, 2012 Psychiatrists are among the lowest-paid of all physicians because, unlike other doctors, they do not bill by the procedure and are reimbursed by time, this according to Bill Gallagher, of Gainesville, Florida who promotes himself as a “human rights advocate”. So, it was especially hard for Florida psychiatrists when in August of last year, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida (BCBS) terminated the contracts of all psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health professionals in the State of Florida. BCBS simply cancelled the contracts but offered new coverage from a company called New Directions of Kansas, at far reduced rates. BCBS notified ALL of their mental health professionals (licensed social workers, licensed mental health counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists) that they would be terminated, without cause. That is, they would no longer be providers for BCBS. BCBS indicated that if the psychs chose to, they could sign up with a new company that BCBS partnered with, Kansas-based New Directions Behavior Health, which is 30 percent owned by BCBS. BCBS spokesman Paul Kluding said his company turned over behavioral health to New Directions to cut costs He acknowledged that some enrollees would have to find new mental health providers. Psychiatric groups appealed to federal officials to investigate, on the grounds that Blue Cross singled out mental health – something they believe is barred by the Mental Health Parity Act of 2008. The act says insurers must handle “mental illness” benefits as they would medical benefits. Despite protestations by the American Psychiatric Association, BCBS asserted that the company is “in compliance with all applicable parity laws and regulations.” The “Parity Implementation Coalition“; the American Psychiatric Association, Mental Health America, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and TeenScreen beseeched Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to intervene in the BCBS issue, complaining that it is violating the Mental Health Parity Act. David Shern, (right) CEO of Mental Health America, who unsuccessfully tried to force TeenScreen into Pinellas County, Florida schools while he was the head of the Florida Mental Health Institute, complained to BCBS that their new policy was only directed at “one specialty provider group”; the entire mental health specialist network. Connie Galietti, executive director of the Florida Psychological Association, had grav concerns. Payments to some psychologists were reduced up to 54 percent. She protested to Florida’s Insurance Commissioner, Kevin McCarty, but received an unwelcome response “With respect to federal mental health parity issues, …I would note that the Office of Insurance Regulation has no jurisdiction with respect to enforcement of federal law”. Mental Health America of Palm Beach urged its members to write to Florida’s Insurance Commissioner and to Blue Cross Blue Shield to express concern about the “unacceptable reduction in payments for mental health providers”. The Florida Psychiatric Society, a membership branch of the American Psychiatric Society, carried an “unknown message” about the termination on their website but is was for “members only”. “It really looks like a lose-lose type of proposition for the clinicians,” said Jim Akin, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers Florida Chapter A petition was drawn up by the American Psychiatric Association to protest the Blue Cross terminations which garnered a little over 5,000 signatures nationwide. Some of the petitioners expressed their reactions: Susan Rae Helgeland, the Executive Director of Mental Health America of North Dakota said: “I am stunned/shocked that an organization such as Blue Cross Blue Shield would participate in activities against parity.” Tampa Psychiatris Eric Weinstock, a Tampa psychiatrist said that: “Since I began private practice in tampa florida in 2005 bluecross blueshield of florida has had a ‘closed’ panel, meaning that they were not accepting any applications for new psychiatrists to their network. It is now 7 years later and their panel has remained closed. Now on top of having no new psychiatrist added to their network in at least 7 years they have additionally fired a lot of their existing psychiatrists. I am beginning to wonder if they have any psychiatrist left at all.” Judith Horowitz said: “When I found out that New Directions is a subsidiary of BCBS, all was illuminated. I believe this was a strategic move to lower mental health professionals fees.” As for any lawsuits over the thorny issue, a representative of the APA said there were none “pending” at this time.

A Kennedy Tragedy due to Anti-depressants, not Alcohol

Mary Kennedy age 52, the estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had no traces of alcohol in her system when she took her own life in May, according to a toxicology report released Friday by the Westchester County medical examiner. According the various news sources Kennedy had been battling depression. She was found dead May 16 in Bedford, New York. The medical examiner's office determined Kennedy died as a result of asphyxiation due to hanging. The toxicology reports from Westchester County found no traces of alcohol in her system, the medical examiner's report did find Trazodone, O-Desmethylvenlafaxine and Venlafaxine These substances according to the National Institute of Health categorizes as anti-depressants. The news media loves to talk about the effects of alcohol, but there will not be anyone talking about the effects of Anti-depressants when they were clearly a part of this women’s death. A side effect of anti-depressants is suicide. It is on the label! Yet there will be no calls for an investigation. There will be no protest that anti-depressants kill. It is business as usual for BigPharma, psychiatry and doctors. Just another loss on the books but the push for more anti-depressants presses on. How about being internally green? Homeopathic methods to fight off depression, Anyone?

Colorado has the Dark Knight and Colombine Killers do they have Antidepressants in Common also? He was seeing a Psychiatrist and they almost always prescribe Psychotropic Drugs

Some in the media have hinted that the Aurora, CO shooter's behavior was blamed on depression, being bullied, belonging to various organizations, having a variety of cultural influences, moral failings, and political policies. Mostly they blamed guns, why because it fits the left wing dominant media’s political leanings. Thus far the media and police have not targeted prescription drugs for depression which causes among many side effects, anger, and mania. It is not clear yet whether the shooter even felt depressed. We hope the police took a blood test to see what was in this creeps body. The shooter didn’t have a criminal history, but he turn the music loud in his apartment and left the door open, so a neighbor would likely barge in and be blow up by the booby tramps. Police have speculated that was a plan to draw attention to his apartment, so he could kill at the theatre while police were busy elsewhere. If that was his plan it didn’t work. Time will tell for sure if this mass murderer was using psychotropic drugs, or not as it will come out in a toxicology report or the trial. It is a doctor patient privilege for the moment. He was seeing a psychiatrist and virtually one for one they prescribe psychotropic drugs as that is their only solution. Almost all of these mass murder events have involved antidepressants. Like Columbine, Virginia Tech it goes on and on, go to ssristories.com. Psychotropic drugs like Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI), commonly known as anti-depressants can lead to violence as a result of psychotic breaks The side effects associated with these selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are suicide and violence against others is called by the term 'akathisia.', SSRI's can create a combination of side effects that reduce impulse control and cause severe agitation or restlessness that may become intolerable. If he suffered from depression, or saw a psychiatrist or an MD at the University then he would have been given an antidepressant. That is all psychiatrists do is give patients antidepressants. They had them out like water. Oh you feel depressed then take these SSRI’s. That is it, as psychiatry has no clue about mental health. Has mental health gotten better the last 50 years? Or worse? Our answer is worse. What do you think? Our view is eliminating antdepressants and you will not have these events again.

“Dr. Drew” Pinskey Paid $275,000 to promote Wellbutin for GlaxoSmithKline

A major part of the case made by U.S. prosecutors that led to GlaxoSmithKline’s $3 billion settlement is that the company used a network of paid experts, speaking to doctors and to the press, to promote uses of its drugs that had not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. According to the Department of Justice’s complaint, one of those paid experts was celebrity physician Dr. Drew Pinsky, who was the host of Loveline with MTV and is now hosting Celebrity Rehab on CNN’s Headline News. He was paid $275,000 in just under two months. Part of the exhibit complaint by the Justice Department was an invoice from Cooney Waters a PR firm from GlaxoSmithKline to Pinskey for services as a spokesperson for particularly Wellbutin. Pinskey claims he used Wellbutin in his practice as it didn’t reduce sex drive like other antidepressants. The US justice department has cracked down on kickbacks given by pharmaceutical firms to doctors who promote their drugs. Many pharmaceutical representatives are providing incentives to push these kickbacks to psychiatrists and medical doctors. The biggest pushers of Paxil and Wellbutrin were provided with travel awards “spa treatment” to exotic locations like the Bahamas and Hawaii as part of a training and reward sited by the US Justice Department complaint. Many of these psychiatrists and doctors are living the good life, and Dr. Drew gets $275,000 in two months while your child is suffering side effects of Paxil and Wellbutrin which include suicide. Do you feel that is right? If you don’t then if your child or loved one is suffering from these psychotropic drugs then you can seek the advice and council of a lawyer. There are a number of class action lawsuits today against Bigpharma regarding the life threatening and life changing side effects.

GlaxoSmithKline Plc has Agreed to Criminal Charges and Will pay $3 Billion in Fines

So Do you Trust BigPharma? We don’t

GSK Building-flckr Several News sources have indicated a Health Care Fraud Settlement. The settlement includes $1 billion in criminal fines and $2 billion in civil fines in connection with the sale of the drug company's Paxil, Wellbutrin and Avandia products. Paxil and Wellbutrin are both antidepressants. As part of the settlement, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) agreed to strict oversight of its sales force by the U.S. government to prevent the use of kickbacks or other prohibited practices. GSK was found to be promoting their drugs for off label purposes, or essentially selling their drugs to patients that their product was not approved for. GSK also sold to underage children. They target marketed to children under 18 when their product was approved for adults only. This is actually done by pharmaceutical sale representatives promoting to family physicians. Also these sale representatives were providing kickbacks to these same physicians and hospitals. ABC News-The Justice Department says GlaxoSmithKline will pay $3 billion and plead guilty to promoting two popular drugs for unapproved uses and to failing to report important safety data about a diabetes drug to the Food and Drug Administration. Government officials say it's the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. Prosecutors say GSK encouraged use of Paxil for children. The company also promoted Wellbutrin for uses besides major depressive disorder, its only approved use. They say that between 2001 and 2007 GSK failed to report on two studies of the cardiovascular safety of Avandia, a diabetes drug. Abbot Labs was fined $1 billion a few month ago also for off label marketing by their Sales Representatives and Marketing department. .

Medical Board of California Covers for Kaiser Permanente Child Molester Psychiatrist Stephen Melcher

CBS 13-Initially the Medical Board of California told CBS13(Sacramento Ca. T.V.) that police did not tell them about a local doctor who was arrested for molesting a boy. Now the medical board has admitted that police did tell them. Dan Wood, Medical Board of California spokesperson.”This was my mistake” “I can’t be any clearer than that.” The admission comes one day after he told CBS13 that it was the Sacramento police fault for not telling the medical board about arresting Kaiser Psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Melcher on charges of molesting a little boy. “The police department was conducting their own investigation and it’s up to them to tell us,” said Wood. It’s how he explained that the reason why the medical board didn’t revoke the psychiatrist’s medical license, allowing him to continue to practice for three months. “Obviously we can’t act on something that we don’t know about,” Wood said previously. However CBS13 uncovered that Sacramento police did tell the medical board days after Melcher’s December arrest. “Once we received notification of his arrest we began the investigation,” said Wood. It took Melcher’s sudden resignation in March for the doctor to stop practicing. So what took the medical board so long to act? “You know, again, each case is individual,” said Wood. “It takes time.” He says state law barred him from talking about the medical board’s investigation but was able to say that the threat to the public can determine the suspension of a license. “In some cases when we can prove that there’s a threat to public health we’ll go for what’s called an interim suspension order,” said Wood. As for the threat of Melcher to the public, Wood didn’t have a clear answer. “I have no knowledge of this, I don’t have that information,” said Wood. The medical board didn’t take action to revoke Melcher’s license until just a few days ago(May 2012), nearly a half year from his arrest. So is the California Medical Board protecting your family, No. Is the FDA, No they protect Bigpharma. Are Psychiatrist nuts, yes. Decades of evidence mounts.
