 The buzz in psychiatry
The psychiatric community has reacted favorably to ConPfuzer's announcement. "We believe that honeybees need psychiatric care too," said Dr. Arthur Podd, a world authority on ADHD in animals and insects. "Up to 80 percent of honeybees may currently suffer from symptoms of Colony Collapse Disorder and not even know it," Dr. Podd said. "We need to set up screening and treatment centers to get these bees the medicine they need. No bee should be left untreated," he said.
But some skeptics questioned the need for using mental health drugs on honeybees. When ConPfuzer's Dr. |

 Of course, this 80% includes those who died on the operating table.
The psychiatric community, by the way, enthusiastically accepted Cotton's work as "scientific." In fact, the leaders of psychiatry went out of their way to protect Cotton, even giving him a forum from which to lecture and publish the results of his work. Consider this next time some doctor or psychiatrist tells you his work is "scientifically sound."
If images from the story of Frankenstein come to mind, you're not alone: Cotton was truly a mad scientist who literally murdered his patients in the name of medicine. |

 It is true that TeenScreen does not recommend the specific treatment the children may be prescribed, but TeenScreen clearly is an advocate of increased drugging, and the point is well made by the director of TeenScreen, Laurie Flynn, whose cozy relationship with the psychiatric community and pharmaceutical industry will be explored later in this chapter, when she wrote "the long-term goal of TeenScreen is not just identification, but treatment for those in need."9
So, according to the director of TeenScreen, getting America's children treatment is the "long-term goal. |
| The fact that the psychiatric community was behind the language change is not surprising. That Fassler would bring up "science" is quite another, important matter that lies at the heart of America's prescription psychiatric drug problem.
Nevertheless, the black-box warning, however watered down, finally ended the argument about the possible dangers of the use of SSRIs in a percentage of the adolescent population. |
| In what can only be described as what many believe as the standard operating procedure of putting the public's best interest behind that of the psychiatric community and pharmaceutical industry, the FDA's language changed from advising the public that "antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking," to "antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in short-term studies."
This pathetic compromise looks as if the FDA is taking a bold step in advising the public that there were problems just in those darn short-term studies. |
| But this point was not part of the committee's review and, worse still; the psychiatric community continues to argue that children will benefit from the psychotropic drugs—that it would be harmful if the mind-altering drugs weren't available for "treatment" in children. The question Americans have to ask is: Whose children are the acceptable risk? |
| While the psychiatric community thus far has succeeded in escaping any official review of the diagnoses that lead to the drugging of America, the makers of the mind-altering drugs have not been so lucky. The risk-benefit argument surrounding the use of prescription mind-altering drugs to "treat" mental disorders has been around as long as the drugs themselves. Just three short years after the 1988 U.S. introduction of Prozac (the first SSRI), the U.S. |
| Until the psychiatric community is called upon to provide conclusive scientific evidence that the nearly 400 disorders listed in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) are not merely subjective clinical diagnoses but rather objective, confirmable abnormalities of the brain, the debate surrounding the benefit or risk of psychotropic drugs seems moot. |

 Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder / Hyperactivity
When it comes to solutions for Attention DeficitHyperactivityDisorder(ADHD), the crucial point to realize is that this so-called disease is something that was simply made up by the psychiatric community in order to promote its own importance along with the use of prescription drugs. This disease does not exist at all—it is merely a pattern of behavior disliked by the observers. |

 It is clear that the psychiatric community has set their standard, and while one might disagree with it, that standard becomes the legal standard upon which the Board must base its actions."
Unbelievably, what Alpert, speaking for the Medical Board of the State of California is saying here, is that whatever the majority do, even lie, knowingly violating the informed consent rights of all patients, that that becomes the unassailable, legal "standard of practice. |

 These two phrases bring us to the heart of the matter for they represent a matter of opinion on the part of the psychiatric community, not a scientific construct. Put bluntly, the opinions of general psychiatry on the existence or nonexistence of psychosomatic disorders are irrelevant. Psychiatrists lack expertise in the domain of physical disorders, and therefore have no basis for an opinion as to whether a given set of symptoms represents a structurally induced or a psychosomatic condition. |

 If you want deception, look at the psychiatric community, doling out powerful narcotics and antidepressants that make people psychotic and suicidal -- all while calling it "treatment" for mental illness. Did you know the Columbine massacre students were both on antidepressant drugs when they blew away their classmates?
Let's face it: you can't trust the mainstream press to provide an honest review of Trudeau's Natural Cures book. For one thing, the entire mainstream press is heavily influenced by billions in drug advertising dollars. |

Repetitive Pocket Searching Syndrome (RPSS)
This frustrating condition is characterized by repeated searching of one's own pockets following the misplacement of some small item such as car keys. The victim of RPSS frantically and repeatedly searches the pockets of the clothes they are wearing, irrationally hoping that the missing object will somehow appear after the third or fourth search. When this proves futile, the RPSS victim will turn to yesterday's clothes and start searching those pockets. |

 ADHD is the prime example of a fictitious disease, and the psychiatric community is now well-practiced at labeling human behaviors "brain chemistry imbalances that need to be treated with chemicals." Other fictitious diseases include high cholesterol (it's not a disease, it's just a symptom), hypertension (also not a disease, but rather a symptom), and even osteoporosis (not a disease, just fragile bones caused by dietary and lifestyle habits that can be easily reversed).

 According to the drug company definition, and even the definition offered by the psychiatric community, we are all suffering from mental illness and must be treated with drugs.
This is one way to expand the disease economy. This is one way you keep those profits flowing and those shareholders happy that they've invested in your company. Most of us here in America are invested in a disease economy, one way or another. |

 Inventing disease for profit
The psychiatric community has now become the disease invention branch of Big Pharma. Psychiatrists dream up disorders, and drug companies market the "treatment" that just happens to have been recently FDA approved. Notice how new diseases or disorders only get publicized and advertised after the FDA approves a Big Pharma drug to treat them? These diseases apparently spontaneously afflict huge numbers of Americans only in the days following the FDA approval of any drug that might treat such diseases. Imagine the odds. |

 This view is supported by the psychiatric community and the traditional medical community -- what I call organized medicine -- which continues to search for yet more synthetic chemicals to put into your bloodstream to treat or "manage" every disease, malady, disorder or discomfort that can be dreamed or imagined.

 It does serve, however, as a metaphor for the incessant disease mongering and "screening & treatment" scams being operated today by drug companies, disease non-profit groups and the psychiatric community. So-called disorders ranging from ADHD to "social anxiety disorder" are invented, promoted and sold to the public in order to convince people they need expense pharmaceuticals to lead healthy lives. The effort has nothing to do with health, but everything to do with generating profits for Big Pharma. |

 Dr. Cotton concluded one review of his infection removal work by arguing that "the successful treatment of 1,412 cases during the last five years, must be accepted as evidence that our work has been efficient."23 Other psychiatrists practicing infection removal to cure mental problems could not achieve Dr. Cotton's 80% success rate. This finally brought challenges to the statistics Dr. Cotton was reporting when the American Psychiatric

 In the four decades since it was first published (in 1952), DSM has gradually become the established diagnostic language of the psychiatric community: hospitals expect psychiatric patients' medical records to list DSM labels, psychiatric journals almost exclusively publish articles using accepted DSM terms, and insurance companies now require that individuals seeking reimbursement for psychiatric treatment submit the DSM names and codes of their disorders. |

 As recently as the late seventies the psychiatric community basically ignored the problem because the teachings of the psychodynamic tradition were that memories of sexual abuse was the fantasy of the child. But the paradigm shifted, starting in the late seventies. Today the psychoanalytic community has come out with some definitive papers acknowledging there was a mistake."
"These people are helpless, hopeless, with no place to go," says Seiner. "They're screaming for some kind of assistance."

| The warning, however, seems to have had little effect on some in the psychiatric community.)
Similarly, Ritalin, an amphetamine-like drug that many physicians concede has no long-term beneficial effects, is now prescribed for more than one million American schoolchildren, most of whom have no pathological symptoms but are merely "squirmy." And tricyclic antidepressants, which can cause hallucinations, convulsions, and cardiac arrest, are routinely prescribed for adolescents undergoing the admittedly painful, but totally normal, process of growing up. |
| And DSMTV, far from being accepted unquestioningly, was the subject of much acrimonious debate in the psychiatric community.
Psychiatrists are becoming increasingly aware that their field hasn't kept up with modern science, and many are calling for higher scientific standards in psychiatry. There is a growing discontent among psychiatrists regarding the poor quality of psychiatric "diagnosis" and research over the past few decades, as well as a growing realization that advances made in other medical fields have made much of psychiatry obsolete. |

 Although initial results point toward great value of the PET Scanner, cost limitations, such as the need for a linear accelerator to produce the radioactive glucose, will limit widespread diagnostic applications of this device in the psychiatric community. Pure research using this type of scanner may, however, confirm the effectiveness of certain drug and other treatments for healing mental illness.
Since the first work with the PET Scanner, new radioactive substances have been developed. There is now a tracer, for example, which binds to dopamine receptors. |

 In general, the orthodox psychiatric community ignores this fact. Why?
At first glance the answer would appear to be because most psychiatrists just don't believe in such things, but this is not necessarily the case. Florida psychiatrist Brian L. |
