WHAT S UP WITH MENTAL HEALTH

Here are some facts In the U.S. more than 20 billion is spent each year on psychiatric practice and treatment in the prisons and judicial system yet the recidivism rate exceeds 60%. Psychiatrists charge 3 600 to 25 000 for each court appearance in the U.S. They assert that the offenders are not responsible for their acts but are instead victims of mental disorders. Electric Convulsive Therapy is still in practice in the U.S. 660 000 electroshocks were administered annually in the U.S. and making 5 billion for the psychiatric industry annually. The 2003 U.S. Mental Health Foundation ECT Fact Sheet reports that ECT causes brain damage memory loss and disorientation. In 2005 FDA reported patients sustaining severe burns deaths and pregnant women suffering miscarriages. The number of American seniors aged 65 who receive electroshock is more than three and a half times that of those aged 64. Why Government health insurance for senior citizens becomes available at 65 yet it is a well-known fact that with the increase in age the risk of cardiac arrest increases during ECT. Ritalin a commonly prescribed medication for use on children was classified in 1971 in the same abuse category as morphine cocaine and opium. More potent than cocaine it causes stunted growth weight loss and psychosis. Suicide is a major complication during withdrawal. It can cause stroke and cardiac arrest. After heavy lobbying by pharmaceutical interests by 1991 federal funding of 400 was granted for every child labeled with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in U.S. public schools. There has been a 900% increase in the number of children diagnosed with ADHD and a 665% increase in the production of stimulants to treat it as a result. Today millions of children are diagnosed with ADHD. The facts are very clear. The mental health industry in this country is corrupted greed-motivated and ineffective.
