From a psychiatrist himself…

This isn't the only psychiatrist to admit this, as another psychiatrist said, "There's no biochemical imbalance. When people come to me and they say 'I have a biochemical imbalance,' I say, ' Show me your lab tests.' There are not lab tests. So what's the biochemical imbalance?" — Ron Liefer, Psychiatrist

The late Loren Mosher, psychiatrist and former Chief of NIMH’s Center for Studies of Schizophrenia, head of Schizophrenia Research, National Institute of Mental health, was the highly founder of the experimental Soteria Project, which proved that patients with first-onset psychotic breaks could be successfully treated - even cured - outside insane asylums by non-professional caregivers, in unlocked neighborhood facilities and without the coercive use of neurotoxic, dependency-inducing and dementia-inducing drugs.

Five years before his untimely death in 2004, and long after he was hounded out of the NIMH and mainstream psychiatry for doing the right thing, Dr Mosher wrote: "Despite what the pharmaceutical companies would have us believe, we don’t need ‘a better life through chemistry’.

This isn’t just in the movies. It is still happening, despite scientific evidence.

FACT: Psychiatric brain operations are still practiced today, despite the lack of any scientific evidence to support the theory of the brain being the cause of any mental disorder.

“No one explains where this disease [ADHD] came from, why it didn’t exist 50 years ago. No one is able to diagnose it with objective tests. It’s diagnosed by a teacher complaining or a parent complaining." Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry

True 👇🏽

"The DSM is the fabrication upon which psychiatry seeks acceptance by medicine in general. Insiders know it is more a political than scientific document. To its credit it says so, although its brief apologia is rarely noted. DSM IV has become a bible and a money-making best seller—its major failings notwithstanding. It confines and defines practice, some take it seriously, others more realistically. It is the way to get paid…The issue is what do the categories tell us? Do they in fact accurately represent the person with a problem? They don’t, and can’t, because there are no external validating criteria for psychiatric diagnoses.”

– The late Loren Mosher, psychiatrist and former Chief of NIMH’s Center for Studies of Schizophrenia, head of Schizophrenia Research, National Institute of Mental health

Don't Let Psychiatrists Electroshock Children!

You may not think this is happening but it happens every single day. Say NO!

Studies showing that an average of 6% to 10% of psychiatrists and psychologists sexually abuse their patients, including children young as 3 years old.

Psychiatrists who sexually abuse patients are often serial abusers, with some surveys noting over 50% of male therapists reporting sexual involvement with more than one patient.

Data from national studies suggest one of every 20 sexual incidents between psychotherapists and their patients involved minors – the average age was 12 for boys, 7 for girls.

In a therapeutic setting, such relationships by and large involve male practitioners assuming domineering roles to bring usually much younger female patients under their sway.

Myth: ECT is safe.

Truth: The American Psychiatric Association admits that "ECT can result in persistent or permanent memory loss." The ECT machine manufacturer, Somatics, includes "permanent brain damage" in its list of risks from ECT.

The Marketing of Madness: Are We All Insane?
Well, we would have to be in order to fund pharmaceutical pockets with their top sellers. Wouldn’t be much to market to if the population was healthy and happy.

In fact, we'll take the data right off the Canadian Institute for Health Information website.
This isn't a coincidence. It's a business. Have a look for yourself.

There is no organization that has worked harder to ban electroshocking children than CCHR. Most people don't even realize children are being electroshocked in this day and age. Freedom of Information Act requests CCHR International has obtained from numerous U.S. states showed even children under aged 5 years-old were being electroshocked under Medicaid funding. The answer to the headline question is this November 2023 Psychology Today article, written by John Read Ph.D, "Is It Time To Ban Electroconvulsive Therapy for Children?" is emphatically Yes.
