An Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging

Antidepressants are worth millions to Psychiatrists and the Pharmaceutical Industry

I’ve just read a reply by ‘Inspire Courage to Fight’ on Making A Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging (it’s well worth watching and may change your mind about antidepressants, psychiatrists and the Pharmaceutical Industry).

Making A Killing is the story of how the Pharmaceutical Industry has created an imaginary mental health epidemic that funds a $330 billion psychiatric industry….all without a single cure…and here’s the kicker…Psychotropic Drugs kill an estimated 42,000 people every year.

“Psychiatry is not a science”…never has been and never will be. The DSM, allied Psychiatry and the Pharmaceutical Industry have created a symphony of ‘new’ diseases and corresponding drug treatments that have paid off well. For over two decades thousands of researchers and reporters have been unmasking Pharmaceutical drugging and exposing the entrenched political lobbing and marketing circus of this money-making machine, yet more…much more, needs to be done to stop the ‘legal drugging’ of our children. 

A mothers story of her fight to save her children

I am trying to save my eldest son with a mitral heart valve prolapse/regurgitation and tricuspid heart valve prolapse/regurgitation from a similar but different fate involving the State of California behavioral health courts and a court system that wants to force potentially deadly psychotropic drugs on my son that interfere with his heart intervals and could further damage his heart and body and give him diabetes and stroke and heart attack and potentially cause him death.

I have to rush to get a conservatorship over him, but I waited to get reacquainted with him to see first to what degree would he be able to take care of himself and his own life without help. He is a 10-year-old in a 25-1/2-year-old body.

His father had him heavily drugged after my lawyer suddenly died and my ex-husband went to court when our son was almost 12, and gained primary custody over him for superior financial status to be able to benefit him more “materially” than I could at that time.

For my son, or me or anybody I love, I am setting up to do both a very meticulously specified “Advanced Health Care Directive” and/or a “Limited, Conditional Durable Power of Attorney” with the exact same specifications in my “Advanced Health Care Directive.”

I can put in my documents, that I very specifically forbid any form of psychotropic drugs being administered ( to either of my sons [in their documents], or to any loved one [within their own documents]) , and then also put “Imprecatory Language” (threat of lawsuit, stating that I will sue, or that I/family in advance of otherwise preventable illness/side-effects/death am ordering my family/friends/trusted home health care helpers and/or survivors to sue any medical facility and/or individual(s) that turn out to cause my loved one(S) or me harm and damage, however slight, especially for failing to obey and carry out clearly-specified “Advance Health Care Directives” to not administer any shape or form of psychotropic medicines for any reason.

Additionally, I might also include “Exhibit-A,” “B,” “C,” etc… of underlined and/or yellow-marked highlighted reports listing all the possible side-effects of psychotropic drugs in general, or any class or classes of psychotropic drugs in general, until all the different classes are covered. A document is not enforceable if it lacks the necessary imprecatory language in all 50 states.

Pretty colors...deadly side effects too!

QUACKERY HARMED MY SON: Our now 25-year-old eldest son with the intelligence level of a 10-year-old suffered needless heart-damage and suffered his brain being fried by a quack psychiatrist who experimented on him with different heavy drug cocktails mixed with Ritalin, Lithobid, Lexapro, Seroquel, Risperidal, Haldol, and Zyprexa.

Our son was kept safe from these things until he was 11 turning 12 when my family law lawyer suddenly died. My ex-husband did the fast strategic “Spanish March” to court claiming superior finances and won primary shared custody of both our sons with the court’s grant of his request to have the final deciding word on any subject in dispute regarding our son’s health, education, and welfare.

Dad could not control our eldest son, so he kept him drugged.

Our son kept calling me for help when he was 15-16-17-18 and only 125 pounds, complaining of severe heartburn and inability to focus to do homework while on the different drug cocktails that Dad (a nurse) and the doctor, were experimenting with. I did all I knew to do at that time to stop over-drugging our son. After my lawyer died, values were less important to the judge than money. I then had secondary lesser custody for our minor children, so my hands were legally hog-tied to act to protect our eldest son.

The psychiatrist completely ignored my letters requesting him to lower my son’s dosages to the minimum, or even taper him off, citing adverse side-effects he was suffering.  Then, some years back, around October, Anna Nicole Smith’s young adult son Daniel died of a combination of psychotropic drugs — the very same drugs listed above that my own son was being forced to take against his will.

This time, I had studied some cases. I wrote a “Notice of Duty & Liability & Breach & Intent to Sue” letter to the psychiatrist, based upon visiting 4 different pharmacists who asked me: “Who is trying to kill this kid? Do you know that his prescription is 4-times more than that of Daniel Smith’s deadly dose?” The psychiatrist complied, tapered Nathaniel down and then off the strong cocktails.

Then, later, the same psychiatrist was grossly negligent, and his lack of checking into the young man’s medical history, and his insistence on a higher dosage, and his other combined actions ended up needlessly killing a young 32-year-old man. The psychiatrist blamed his patient’s death on other mental health hospital staff. The truth came out.

The psychiatrist was disciplined by the California Medical Board. He was severely restricted in his practice in what he could and could not do. Then, later, there was a state lawsuit against him. Then there was a federal government lawsuit against him. Then there was another patient who he almost killed, and did great harm and damage to.

So sad for the family who lost their 32-year-old son and for the other patients who complained about this long-time psychiatrist. A reasonable likelihood exists that his actions and omissions and liking for prescribing higher dosages of multiple-ingredient mixed psychotropic cocktails to his patients could have harmed and damaged many more people than we know about.

My ex married his 4th wife, who did not want our eldest son around her, so the blessing is that he came down to live with me. We got fishing licenses, are taking short classes on different vocational skills together, are focusing on the happier and more successful sides of life, and want to go on living happily.

Thanks to this psychiatrist, my son’s heart has been damaged.

Now I have to fight the local mental health one-stop facilities from seizing conservatorship over my young adult son to force him to take deadly psychotropic drugs for a person with heart valve damages, plural. I would just pull my son out of their programs, but he got in a little trouble with the law, not knowing that he had to have a concealed weapons permit to carry a kitchen steak knife to the canal to go fishing! (to fillet any fish caught!).

The District Attorney did not know how severely disabled he is mentally, and is prosecuting him as an adult, though he has a 10-year-old brain, literally physically “shrunk” by all those psychotropics. The Mental Behavioral Health Court is what the new lawyer said is my son’s only hope to not go to prison for 3 years, and the lawyer forced my son to plead “no contest,” so sentencing is yet to come. How can going fishing cause one to allegedly be guilty of a felony and then cause one to be forced to take even more strong potentially deadly psychotropic medications for the rest of his life, which could be shortened by such malpractice!!!

The courts are not medical doctors. The psych facilities have medical doctor psychiatrists, but most of them who we have talked to have been covering and protecting the doctor who did our son so much irreversible permanent harm and damage.

• In the book The Emperor’s New drugs, Irwin Kirsch, a psychologist, has revealed that more than half of clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies Food and Drug Administration between 1987 and 1999 found that SSRIs relieve depression is no better than placebo.

• Prozac, Zoloft [sertraline], Paxil [Aropax, Seroxat, Sereupin], Effexor, Celexa. These popular antidepressants are effective—but their function arises mainly from the placebo effect. Psychologist Irving Kirsch arrived at this conclusion a few years ago after he and his colleagues took a thorough look at all the data from experiments with antidepressants.

•  What is advance care planning? Advance care planning is a process enabling a patient to express wishes about his or her future health care in consultation with their health care providers, family members and other important people in their lives. Based on the ethical principle of patient autonomy and the legal doctrine of patient consent, advance care planning helps to ensure that the concept of consent is respected if the patient becomes incapable of participating in treatment decisions.
