| Psychiatry in America is an ongoing "crime against humanity". The third world gets better results for their mental health patients because they can't afford the pharmaceutical industry's FDA-certified psychotropic medications. In October 2016 I found videos of my friend before the first hospital. She quipped about alcohol and drugs, but sounded "normal". We were frying donuts. About two weeks after the videos were filmed, my friend ran out of alcohol. Her mother called the "crisis team", who took her to the hospital. I don't know what happened, exactly, but I assume they treated her with Haldol, an old cheap "tranquilizer" that is sold to patients as an "anti-psychotic". But... It's been known since the late 1970's that anti-psychotics make psychosis worse over time. Robert Whitaker wrote "the case against anti-psychotics" [1] to provide as succinct a case against this class of drugs' use as possible.

This diagnosis (professional opinion) is disproved by my videos, but these have never been viewed by any judge. Anti-psychotics are also known to make cocaine users more likely to use cocaine, which is known to cause psychosis. Alcohol withdrawal is also a known cause of psychosis [2]. My friend told the psychiatrists that she'd been drinking 2 bottles of liquor a day (methadone side effect, I think), and using cocaine, but they gave her anti-psychotics anyways. [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance-induced_psychosis#IC... My friend escaped briefly from her court-ordered medications in March 2016.... Then she was given an SSRI "anti-depressant" in May 2016, which caused much anxiety, which led to her getting arrested... She's now being forced to take tranquilizers again. I'm still trying to protect my friend from her doctors. When a petition to the court is dismissed "without prejudice" it means that you can correct the errors and re-file. I've re-filed twice, but I don't think the judge even read the second and third petitions. I guess I'm going to the court of appeals next... <sigh> edit 1: clarification...
edit 2: added the paragraph about getting ordered by the court to submit to psychiatry.
edit 3: added sentence about the third world edit 4: Oh my... This buzzfeed article is about "Universal Health Services". My friend stayed at two of their locations: http://www.uhsinc.com/locations/uhs-facilities-map-usa/ edit 5: I actually went to talk to an investigator with the state attorney general's office this morning - his department was "health fraud and abuse". He was not optimistic of being able to find something to investigate. I'm going to print this buzzfeed article and take it over. edit 6: forgot to include link for [1] |
