Myths of Mental Illness

GOLD MINES
“There is no evidence that any mental disorder is caused by
chemical imbalance,” a Surgeon General’s report states. But
that truth is not slowing the sharp increase in the prescriptions
written for psychiatric drugs.

In 2007 the five leading psychiatric drugs grossed more money
than the gross national product of half the countries in the
world.

The pharmaceutical industry has discovered two gold mines
that could potentially keep billions of U.S. tax dollars flowing
into their coffers every year. One gold mine is their ability to
influence government legislation requiring mandatory mental
health testing. The legislation has the potential of leading to
millions of prescriptions annually. The other gold mine is the
industry’s influence over the creation of drug guidelines, also
called algorithms, defining what psychiatric drugs will be used
in large public systems like state mental hospitals, prisons, and
clinics funded by state and federal governments.

Many psychiatrists are alarmed by the influence the drug
companies have on the mental health field. “There is not one
shred of credible evidence that any respectable scientist
would consider valid demonstrating that anything that
psychiatrists call mental illness are brain diseases or
biochemical imbalances. It’s all fraud,” states Dr. Ron Leifer a
psychiatrist.

Every mental disorder in the U.S. is created BY VOTE
by the American Psychiatric Association (APA).

There are no diagnostic tests to provide evidence that mental health
disorders are caused by biochemical or neurological conditions.
It is a myth that psychiatry and the drug industry initiated. The
names of the disorders and the symptoms are all voted into
existence!  There is no valid test – no blood test, no brain scan, no
tissue test, no hormone test, no MRI, nothing at all that can be
used to diagnose any of the more than 350 mental disorders
now listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental
Disorders (DSM). And the APA continues to create new
disorders and new symptoms at an alarming rate. A longer list
serves both psychiatry and the drug industry.
One English psychiatrist candidly states in the documentary film,
Where the Truth Lies, “DSM stands for diagnosis as a source of
money. It brings in a lot of money.”
Psychiatrists from around the world were included in the
documentary, and every one of them acknowledged that the DSM
is not backed by science.  Which means that no mental disorder is
backed by science. If you want to know the interesting history of

Are Conjoined Twins – Joined at the Wallet
The conjoined twins have been able to make millions of people,
including physicians, believe in absurdities, which has led to
people committing atrocities such as drugging children with
deadly psychiatric drugs.
