The Truth About Psychiatric Mental Disorders and the Psychotropic Drug Market

November 27th, 2011 by admin

Is it true that anxiety, stress, depression are true behavioral constructs that cause thousands of individual to become dysfunctional from time to time? Of course it is true, each and every person during their walk through life experience these inner feelings from time to time. Does that make us all mentally ill? Definitely not, it is part of our daily walk through life. They are inner feelings which are effected by environmental circumstances. Inner feelings can change at anytime through environmental changes. Therefore without a shadow of doubt, these inner feelings are not mental disorders. Inner feelings sit in the soul and cannot be diagnosed by anyone else other than the person who has the feelings. The expression of these inner feelings are expressed through emotions and the extend of those expressions are governed by the individuals introvert or extrovert tendencies.

The real problem lies in the exploitation of these inner feelings by falsely representing them as mental diseases or mental abnormality, such as Bipolar, Schizophrenia, social anxiety disorder, depression, etc. We presume that these specialist are using some form of science behind their diagnosis when declaring that a person has a mental disorder or mental disease of sorts. ADHD is supposedly a mental disorder, absolute hog wash, the child is assertive and definitely not mentally ill.

Any disease; such as Diabetes, Cancer, Malaria, Tuberculoses etc, can be determined through a MRI scan, X-Rays, Blood test or Urine samples. The reason for this is that true diseases originate once induced into the body to become a disease. They become activated once they enter the blood stream which of course is within the physical body. They cannot become active as long as they are outside the physical body. Malaria can be carried by a Mosquito outside of the body but is ineffective unless it bites the flesh and places the malaria organism within the body. No disease can become effective outside the body and therefore once present within the body the disease can manifest itself and pretty quickly any disease can be detected through the different scientific tests mainly through the blood.

Diagnosing mental disorders takes on the connotation as if these mental disorder diagnoses are the same as that of a real disease that can be scientifically diagnosed, such as cancer, malaria, diabetes or any other quantifiable illnesses. A disease is something a person has; a mental disease is something that has been invented. It takes one person to have a disease, but takes two people to have a mental disorder.

The most outrages facts are that Psychiatrists are believed to be mental specialist, they call their clients “patient” meaning that the person is sick or ill and they run institutions known as Mental Hospitals. How is it possible that every government, medical association, media and the general public believe and accept that psychiatrists are specialists in mental diseases? They are qualified medical doctors, and doctor are qualified in medical science. There is absolutely no science in the mental disorders as described in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual. Not one of the over 374 mental diseases have been proven through science. They have been invented. There has never been any proof that the drugs prescribed for these diseases heel the so called disease.

Why then are these psychiatrists who invent these unscientific mental disorders be allowed to prescribe unproven psychotic drugs to people? Research proves the psychotic drugs have severely impairing side effects causing irrational behaviour such as suicide, violence, murder, arson, motor accidents, etc besides all the body’s physical elements that are affected.

It is often claimed that people suffer from chemical imbalance in the brain or the neurotransmitters need repair and that justifies the reason for the drugs. Despite their claims there is not have one single scientific test to prove that these so called imbalances are present nor can they prove that the drugs repair any neurotransmitters. If a disease is not in the blood it does not exist.

Research has shown that if a person is placed under the mental health authorities and they do not wish to participate in the unscientific methodologies, they are forced into participating in their programs, despite the fact that the people are innocent victims of this irrational behaviour.

The question is: where are those who are entrusted with our protection? Are Government regulators suppose to watch out for patients welfare? So why are so many dangerous psychotropic drugs allowed on the market? At one time the Food and Drug Administration were the watch dogs and protectors of the people in this area throughout America. The FDA set the gold standard in drug safety, but this is no longer the case. The approval panel of the FDA, of whom the majority are psychiatrist have long filled the approval process while having conflicting interests, due to their financial ties with the various drug manufacturers.

Research these facts for yourself, it is critical, that this psychiatric madness is brought to accountable, by contacting us for any help, as your loved ones could be or become the next victim.

The author is the Founder of a scientific instrument in Human Behavior and named it Functional Intelligence in 2004. “Functional Intelligenceâ„¢ is based on the theories within Sociology. It quantifies the effect the environment has on any individual, allowing that individual to discover the criteria necessary to live a fulfilled lifestyle”.

Functional intelligence is a scientific assessment that is based on criteria and environmental affects on your behavior within a defined environment. Most human assessments or tests available in this modern world today are based on “social norms” while functional intelligence is based on the effect any given environment would have on any individual’s functioning or behavior within that particular environment.

How Employment Assists in Mental Health/Substance Abuse Recovery

November 27th, 2011 by admin

Meaningful employment positively impacts individuals in recovery from mental health and substance abuse by:

1) making them too tired to engage in former drug related activities directly after work,

2) bringing them under socialized peer pressure which can be exerted upon a macro (society as a whole ranging from employers to friends) and micro level (close associations),

3) implants healthy fears about losing hard won positions of respect within society and monetary rewards,

4) assist in developing and maintaining refusal skills – the ability to say – no – to their drug of choice, past dysfunctional behaviors and life style; thus, providing those in recovery from mental illness and substance abuse who are suffering from long term unemployment with meaningful jobs actually assist in their recovery as it reduces taxes – this is because taxes are utilized to pay for drug treatment programs, incarceration, and increased police presence in communities.

According to, (et. al. 2009, Mental Health and Addiction 101 Series) Harm reduction can be defined as “any program or policy aimed at reducing harm related to substance use without requiring that the substance use be stopped. The program or policy may be aimed at the individual, family, community or society.”

Why not just provide them with volunteer positions? The problem with this is that today’s volunteers including those that are in recovery from mental illness and substance abuse; especially those that are over thirty may be just as qualified as those individuals working as paid employees. Individuals over thirty struggling with recovery from mental health and substance abuse issues don’t just sit around and collect welfare and SSI checks. These individuals also engage in everything from volunteer positions, internships to formal education in order to return to work; unfortunately a number of these individuals may engage in these back to work activities for years without being rewarded for their efforts; thus, encouraging them to relapse and give up any hope of leading a normal life. According to BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) 2010 online publication relating to volunteerism within the U.S:

- whites volunteered at a rate of (27.8 percent),
- blacks at (19.4 percent) and Asians (19.6 percent);
- while Hispanics or Latinos, 14.7

Individuals with higher levels of educational attainment which includes those that possess college degrees who age 25 and over volunteered at a rate of 42.3 percent.

Although there are laws that offer tax incentives for hiring long term unemployed individuals, these laws may not be enough to ensure that women and minorities in recovery from MHSA issues will be rehired back into the work force due to the problem of racism, and the stigma of substance abuse/mental illness. Yet, without question, hiring long term unemployed individuals in recovery is the best way to reduce government and tax payer spending.

Alcohol and Drug Rehab: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression is the most common diagnosis among adults in the United States today. It is estimated that one out of three depressed people suffer from some form of addiction or substance abuse problem. In addition to the above, there appears to be a common tendency among those suffering from depression to abuse drugs or alcohol as a means of coping with their symptoms. Many of these people end up with an addiction to those substances.

Dual diagnosis can create a very complex situation for both the professional, as well as, the individual. One of the obstacles they face is while the person may feel depressed, there are many drugs, including alcohol that create symptoms similar in nature to depression. The “million dollar” question is, which came first, the depressive disorder or the addiction/alcoholism causing it?

Although there appears to be a clear link between depression and addiction or drug/alcohol use, it is not clear that one necessarily precedes the other. Many times though, the depressive disorder appears first and the person begins to use drugs or alcohol as a means to better cope with the symptoms. This type of self-medication generally leads to addiction or alcoholism with the person in need of drug rehab or alcoholism treatment. Regardless of which issue develops first, they must be treated co-currently in rehab for the person to fully recover.

The most important thing is to work with a physician who fully understands drug addiction, alcoholism and is associated with an accredited addiction treatment center.
