It looks like someone else I know is being forced to take psych drugs…On a previous blog, I detailed how another woman I knew was not only on a mind numbing regimen of pills, but how she was forced to take them via daily visit from a “nurse” who watched her take them and also a long acting shot.  No one would help her fight back against the community mental health center and the crooked psychiatrist and judge who set draconian regimen up, and she was forced to go along or else have a long stay in the State Mental Hospital.  I really had no idea of her mental state or “diagnosis” via the DSM IV, but it seemed she was not so sick that she required to be that doped out of her head. 

I attributed her situation to the vengefulness of her psychiatrist at the mental health center who had a history of overmedicating patients she did not like.  (I do not think the community mental health places that serve low income clients get the cream of the crop when it comes to counselors and psychiatrists.  I could go on about this for pages and pages from my own experience and that of many others.)  The average doctor (if you can get a real doctor not a nurse practitioner) in a mental health center sees a client about 10 to 20 minutes every few months and asks a pre printed list of questions to the client to determine if their drug regimen still works and then on to the next unlucky client. 

Novelist Stephen White, in his novel Dry Ice (see earlier post on books with sociopathic characters) had a character in the book who worked at the State Hospital after a scandal in his career involving a patient suicide.  Any field that serves the poor is almost always able to attract lousy workers and sociopaths among the dedicated people who truly care.

Anyway, this person has been having emotional problems as of late and had taken the advice of a not-so-caring friend (read: perp) who got her on a regimen of antipsychotic pills.  At first this person was doing ok on the pills, then, she started acting spacy and emotionally flat (called flat affect).  Later, she was having trouble driving and would have had to quit  and take the bus if she didn’t stop the pills.  She then asked her community mental health “doctor” (nurse practitioner) if she could quit the antipsychotics if she could remain on her other pills.  The doctor said yes, but gave her no game plan to get off the antipsychotics.  Getting off of antipsychotic pills is torture because they change the chemistry of your BRAIN.  Many people seem to have a relapse of “mental illness” after getting off the drugs because the drugs affect the brain chemistry in a way that getting off them causes a chemical imbalance.  Dr. Grace Jackson (see above) even says that people who were never psychotic before but are prescribed antipsychotics and go off them will exhibit psychotic symptoms MONTHS after discontinuing the drugs due to changes in brain chemistry.

This is something the money hungry drug companies do not want you to know about, and it’s something your perps don’t want you to know either.  Also, today, antipsychotics are being prescribed “off label” for various emotional conditions that don’t even APPROACH what the docs consider “schizophrenia”, which may be an imaginary disease to begin with. 

In past times, and still in some conservative circles, schizophrenia is still considered demon possesion.  Other people believe schizophrenia is caused by serious vitamin deficiencies. (See about book in previous post by Dr. Newbold).  Prophets in the Bible had schizophrenia type symptoms when they heard from God.  Whether schizophrenia is caused by a “broken brain” or by demons or by gods is up for debate, but it’s obvious that antipsychotic drugs are no cure nor even an effective treatment for the condition or any other condition Big Pharm decides these very strong drugs are indicated for.  This brilliant article says not only do antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs not work, but their overuse has created a larger pool of people with mental illness.  I have heard it say that 1 in 5 Americans have a mental disease.  People talk of being bipolar or having schizophrenia like they used to talk about having warts!  It sickens me.  The enemies of this country will not have to wait long for us to destroy ourselves from within.  While sin and greed will help, madness will do us in.  A teacher in the 23rd century will tell her class:  “boys and girls, what happened was that the Americans all went slowly mad starting in the 20th century…”  They will say we had “such a beautiful mind”.  (not to mention a pretty face but obesity is a different topic altogether)
