 Part of this rise in the number of people said to be mentally ill is just definitional. In truth, the reports were showing it could trigger a lot of dangerous events, including suicide and psychosis. All this shows how the American public was betrayed and didn't know about all the problems with these drugs and why it was kept from them. They're now said to be bipolar and they're given an antipsychotic to go along with the antidepressant; and, at that point, they're moving down the path to chronic disability. SS: Hollowed-out, blunted emotions. SS: This increases psychiatry's clients, but doesn't it also increase the number of people that giant pharmaceutical companies can sell their psychiatric drugs to? So even on the target symptoms, there's greater chronicity and greater severity of symptoms. The interview is conducted by Terry Messman, editor of Street Spirit. So let's start peddling the drugs to kids. It just shows how the FDA betrayed the American people. RW: First of all, with Prozac and the SSRIs that followed, their level of efficacy was always of a very minor sort. Eli Lilly felt it was going to lose this trial. " It was absolutely obscene. It may not cause as many Parkinsonian symptoms. Zyprexa basically disrupts the machine that we are that processes food and extracts energy from that food. But it also has a huge marketing payoff. We're seemingly finding all this out only now: "Oh, Prozac can cause suicidal impulses and all these SSRIs may increase the risk of suicide. Currently, the pre-market people who approve the drug decide what happens after it's on the market. That's the only way it got approved. Now, methylphenidate was used in research studies to deliberately stir psychosis in schizophrenics. You go there, you work awhile, then you go off into the drug industry. " So what Stephen Hyman, former head of the NIMH, has done is present a paradigm for how these drugs affect the brain that shows that they're inducing a pathological state. Wouldn't it seem that consumers have no influence whatsoever on the success of a prescription drug, so advertising should be directed entirely toward doctors? But still, it basically affects the brain in the same way. Let's talk about bipolar disorder among kids. So part of what we're doing is pathologizing childhood with straight-out definition stuff. |
