Your [2] link is from a site that offers paid consultations for meditators in distress.. do you have a source from a site that doesn't stand to profit from those statements?

I don't think they are for profit, if they provide a therapy service then it makes sense that they would charge for it though (as any other therapist would do).

I remember hearing about adverse effects of meditation in podcasts and blog posts and, perhaps some audio book? Can't remember. There are links to a few studies in all mighty wikipedia too [1], I'm sure you can find sources.

From hearing the pros and the cons I suspect many forms of meditation are healthy, and it can be unhealthy in the same way some forms of exercise can be unhealthy [2].
