There is less mental illness in primitive societies.

I wonder if the high mortality rate might explain that difference?

The economic solution would give them somewhere to live.

I vote next door to you. All around you. Institutionalizing those that cannot or will not remain on necessary medications after treatment should be institutionalized at least until such a time that a treatment exists that maintains their sanity. Until you personally meet one of these individuals and understand they will not remain "sane" willingly because they prefer to feel "free" instead of "fuzzy" or similar reasoning, even though they know that they're not right when they're "free", you won't really know what you're discussing. Better treatments, drugs, whatever do need to be developed to help these folks, just like we need better treatment options for cancer, old age, and a host of other things.

There are not economic solutions to mental problems.

There is less mental illness in primitive societies. Living here literally helps you go crazy.

But yes, there are economic solutions. Homeless are on the street because they can't get their medicines (either because of practical/money problems or their own mental state), and it's a self-repeating cycle. Residential institutions for the mentally ill are still needed today, but most have closed due to modern medicines and lack of funding - despite there still being a need. The economic solution would give them somewhere to live.

The FDA is not in the game is regulating if only safe and effective products can be on the market. Look at psych drugs for example. The companies market the drugs in a very similar fashion as the TC has seen products not FDA approved marketed. What I have noticed about the medical industry is it's all snake oils and magic bullets, for profit. When I was a child they showed videos in elementary school on this issue, highlighting medicine in the 1800s, which consistent of people marketing hocus pocus. Alleged doctors would go around looking for "sick" people to cure, they might only dose the person with some morphine or other deadly chemical cocktail, the previously bedridden individual would then be shown as up and walking and the doctor proclaimed he was "cured." Then days later, the kid drops dead, highlighting the snake oil/magic bullet industry. Other techniques included performing surgeries that actually seriously harmed the individual, leaving them in veggie state and whatnot, ie cutting nerves or brain up (lobotomy). The individual would be a walking zombie of their performer self, proclaimed as cured, then deaths often ensued. Removal of organs and other abuses also occurred.

Today the industry funnily operates the exact same way. Companies look for chemicals or surgeries they can market as cures, and they train themselves to perform those "treatments" but in reality, most of the treatments don't work and aren't treatment. A handful are, such as bacterial killing agents, fungus killing agents, virus killing agents, but others such as "heart burn treatments" do more harm than good. Pain relief are prescribed to people who have only minor pain and don't need any chemical for it. A person might have a surgery to remove an organ or tissue that was healthy, to treat a specific problem, which then leads to other disabilities and malfunctions because the person actually really needed that organ or tissue even if there was some underlining disorder the doctor had attributed to the organ or tissue. I read a dreaded case of this happening to a women in UK recently.

Back to the case of psych drugs - the largest snake oil/magic bullet farce industry around with purely fictional marketing for every drug on the market, they market the drugs as treating schizophrenia/anxiety/bipolar/depression, however the industries own studies prove the drugs don't even begin to treat these issues, kill over 500,000+ elderly annually, reduce 25 years average from the persons life, kill 1 in 2 to 1 in 3, reduce recovery rates from 80% for none drug users to 5% to drug users, induce 75,000 heart attacks annually and prevent survival during those attacks, cause 15 times more suicide than reported by the industry, cause severe brain damage/vein swelling/scar tissue build up in the brain/fluid build up in the brain/etc, induce violence and suicides, are nothing but petroleum byproducts being spun as treatments, etc. The studies going back decades prove that alternative none drug based treatments work better, such as psychotherapy, or even giving the person money to procure housing and other basic needs. Doctors in the mental health field typically diagnose mental illness falsely, when in reality the person is suffering from other issues like poverty and political matters that have caused them

the anti vaxers are smart. they pick up on the lies. they know medical professionals lie to promote their businesses. it's a business not medicine. this has resulted in medicine science being mostly entirely fraudulent propaganda, statements made by the medical profession without facts or scientific basis.

I have knowledge that vaccines are mostly a for profit system. doctors like them because so many visits to their offices are forced by pro vaccine legislature backed by billions of dollars in profits. they like to use a psychological warfare tactic to disarm the public who feels wronged by the profiting and forced medical procedures.

the same issue effects psychiatry. psychiatry is largely debunked by the industries own medical science but you never hear about it from them. they profit off abducting healthy children and adults into mental hospitals, for profit group homes, where mental health care is not provided only forced medication injections.

take a look at these four sites. even the United Nations special Reporter on health and torture is asking the United States to stop. http://www.psychrights.org/ http://www.madinamerica.com/ http://www.mindfreedom.org/ http://www.cchr.org/ http://www.wayneramsay.com/

the medical science behind psychiatric drugs proves the drugs cause severe brain damage, induce psychosis and mental disorders, prevent recovery, induce suicides and homicides, cause 25 years of life expectancy to be reduced, kill between 1 in 3 and 1 in 2 within 17 years of the neuroleptics, kill 500,000+ elderly alone yearly, do not treat any mental disorder but serve to tranquilize and chemical lobotomize only, etc. yet the standard practice when you sit down in front of any psychiatrist, MD, school counselor, or end up in the ER is for them to prescribe a drug to you knowing it won't help. sickening. maddening.

http://www.trumpsweapon.com/

this is the pot calling the kettle black.

MDs sell pseudoscience even though they have peer review, and allegedly use "scientific method."

they found out money influences the outcomes of their studies. they always find something that's harmful and not effective, safe and effective. they lie about the actual data in their summaries, and hide the actual data releasing only falsified summaries. many of these abuses are most exposed in the psychiatric industry, where deadly brain damaging drugs that actually prevent recovery, reduce recovery, and induce schizophrenia are the standard medical treatment while more effective less intrusive methods aren't used.

we have affidavits, 20 year studies, and more that have debunked psychiatry, yet the entire field of MD medicine continues prescribing deadly psychiatric drugs and concocting fake medical science to support itself.

the United Nations supports the field of antipsychiatry, and in several places in Europe they have abandoned the fraudulent western "medical model" in favor of alternatives, because it works better. the UN has repeatedly called for the United States to stop itself, labeling psychiatry torture, asking for an ending of the game of deadly medication.

yet MDs continue to do what they do calling themselves more scientific than chiropractors? hey at least chiropractors work on people functionally, choosing less disabling less deadly treatment options than MDs. MDs prefer to set up for profit treatment models involving using unnecessary surgeries to remove body tissue, and medication that does not help and only induces illnesses - both options cannot be reversed, whereas chiropractors choose to try to fix peoples bodies without the deadly unneeded mutilation, or at least give you something to help you cope better with your issues.

When I met her, my new friend was an unapologetic drug addict. With my influence, she came to appreciate that being addicted to the street pharmacy's products sucks, and she decided to quit everything cold-turkey. She ended up at the "behavioral health" wing of a Banner hospital.

She came out of her substance-induced psychosis in about a week, and gave me a call. A few days later I realized they wouldn't let her go because they'd started the process to send her for psychiatric torture. I went to the courts. The superior court commissioner investigated, determined the hospital's confinement of their patient was not legal, and ordered they let her go.

I made a minor mistake, and was not able to immediately get her off their campus, and the Banner hospital figured out how to get her off their property very quickly.

Court-ordered Psychiatry is a farce. I found Robert Whitaker's books last fall, after all this went down, and I think he's exactly right. Anatomy of an Epidemic makes the case that psychiatric drugs make people's transient mental problems permanent.

tl/dr: Avoid psychiatry as if your life depends on it.

The idea is to replace the drug of choice with a drug that will 1) not provide a high, and 2) reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Opiate addicts are a little more functional on replacements than on heroin, but this is only because they don't have to worry about how they're going to "stay well". People can be functional heroin addicts if they don't have to worry about sourcing their next dose. In Chasing the Scream, Johann Hari says that some countries give the give their opiate addicts all the heroin they need, and provide a safe, supervised environment for use. Most addicts eventually age out of their addiction.

I met a real drug addict about a year ago, but I didn't realize it at the time. She fluttered from topic to topic like a butterfly, and I said, to myself, "this woman is high as a kite..." She told me about going to the Methadone clinic every day. She gradually invited me into her world, and I learned that the methadone wasn't enough to fill the "holes in her soul". She supplemented her opiates with the street pharmacy's medicines.

With my influence, by about six months she was doing much better. She quit methadone and alcohol cold-turkey. Then the mental health system got a hold of her, and it's been a real struggle ever since.

Calling the mental health system "Psychiatric torture" is not fair to the suffering endured by people who've actually been tortured, but it precisely describes the hopelessness and futility endured by people who are "treated" with drugs that do not address any of the causes of their condition. "Psychiatric Abuse" will have to suffice.

She got addicted to anxiety medications during her fifth mental hospital stay. She'd only wanted them as-needed, but they forced her to take that pill every day. Two weeks after she was released, she hatched a stupid plan to get through the benzodiazepine withdrawal. We got together the second night of her stupid plan, and had a little fight. She said that I didn't understand that she wasn't going to get addicted again, she just needed it so she could sleep. She said it was barely any heroin at all, and just to spite me, she prepared a second shot and did that too.

When she revived, she was immediately terrified by the sudden presence of people in uniform. The firefighters should've followed protocol and taken her to the hospital, but I'd told them that she was already on court-ordered treatment, so they decided to just disappear into the night. After a few more minutes, the police decided they could leave too. The only evidence I have that anyone was there is the nebulizer used to squirt the anti-opiate drug into her nose.

She did very well for the next two weeks. But I was 2 hours away, and she was left to take care of herself, with the added burden of having to take court-ordered anti-psychotic sedatives. She was back in the mental hospital about 5 weeks after her release from the fifth mental hospital stay.

Psychiatrists must be trained to not care why their patients are in their care. They gave her a new anti-psychotic, but she was still quite delusional when she was released from her sixth mental hospitalization.

By this point I'd obtained the drug that she actually needed. It worked exactly as I thought it would, I brought her to live closer to me, and she started to recover from her anti-psychotic-induced brain trauma. Her new psychiatric nurse initially wanted her to stay on the anti-psychotic sedative, but eventually realized the patient doesn't actually need to be permanently sedated.

But she ran out of anxiety medication recently... Her new court-ordered-treatment provider said they didn't provide those drugs, so my friend went to source them from her old "friends". Street drugs are much easier to source than specific second-hand prescription medications.

Street drugs caused her to become psychotic again. She would have come out o

For the majority of ailments that people visit a doctor for a placebo would be the best treatment option, no-one is saying try and treat cancer with them. If you are being prescribed penicillin or anti-depressants or even mild painkillers you're probably better having nothing at all.

http://www.madinamerica.com/20...

Again, I'm not saying that is better than most drugs, because after all that's how drugs are tested for effectiveness - they must be better than placebos (which are usually also effective!). However in many cases rather than increasing antibiotic resistance or risking addiction issues you'd probably be better having some quack waving a crystal over you.

We know that depression is not linked to serotonin levels. In fact SSRI's are used for many things, including to reduce pain. People in SSRI's tend to report blunted effect, apathy, mania, increases in aggression and suicidal tendancies..

http://www.madinamerica.com/

Because we know the whole medical model method of describing these medications was always wrong, it's safe to assume that chemical imbalances are not responsible for depression. But we do know the drugs can knock out pathways, and make serotonin and other neurons less useful through dysregulation. What happens is the neuron losses the ability to regulate certain key neuro-transmitters, losing the ability to send the signal specified, knocking out it's function. This is a chemical lobotomy, and certain signals and impulses reduce or become more, I cannot say what happens. But if the brain can't do what it tries to do, it just doesn't work.

In the end this can impact a persons energy levels, make them high, make them intoxicated, make them unable to feel or tell reality, make them unable to feel pain and nerve impulses in general. emotions get fucked up, as many people even self report feeling like a zombie on the drugs.

In essence, we create mental illness, to disrupt ones experience & totally fuck up peoples brains. More articles and videos on this @ http://www.oregonstatehospital.net/resources.html.. An even worse class of drugs exists, called major tranquilizers or antipsychotics, that work by severing neuron connections by nearly completely blocking receptor sites between neurons. This has the effect of erasing thoughts, memories, and occasionally voices, but in the end causes brain loss, dementia, and encephalopathy.. Got it all in the toxicology affidavits on the resources.html page.

Furthermore, antidepressants aren't generally more effect than placebo for this reason, while exercise and psychotherapy and art therapy and other fun things do tend to work at higher rates. I think the study said exercise was 80% effective, they even prescribe it in other countries including the UK. But not in the USA, because profits off useless brain damaging drugs trumps!

Robert Whitaker's book, "Anatomy of the Epidemic" explores how the drugs are essentially making citizens permanently disabled and unable to recover from the severe damage.. also got reviews of this book, linked to on resources.html.

traditionally psychiatrists have lied about how the condition worked. they sold us treatments for profits, including medication. each decade they revised the cause of it and the medical model of treatment. they used to think it was caused by too much blood in the brain, for example, and draining blood was a treatment for it.

then after they discovered major tranquilizers from manufacturing petroleum byproducts and dyes after subsequently testing the chemicals on humans, they found they could "remove" the functionality of the brain with a chemical lobotomy. they then started to sell drugs to us. they revised the model a bit, claiming that drugs corrected chemical imbalances, a total falsehood. example: if you had too much dopamine you'd become psychotic or too little serotonin you'd be depressed. but research never backed that up, and tests show no correlation. in fact mice were recently bread w/ serotonin channels knocked out completely, while signs of depression did not increase. in reality the drugs work by knocking out pathways, blocking receptors of up to 99% of receptor sites for antipsychotics, erasing memories & impulses completely. antidepressants work by making serotonin / other pathways less useful, which results in inhibited nerve impulses and zombification (dead through serious drug injury, yet still living and walking and talking), removing emotion, focus, memories, and sensations, creating mentally illness. this damaging of a persons brain results in changes and new personalities, but does not treat the underlying problem . . Meanwhile those unlucky souls who got drugged never managed to recover naturally, and it's hard to describe how their lives and brain development were interrupted, .. many of them simply felt down or depressed, that happens, did nothing else to fix it, like it was a medical problem, then doctors tried to drug damage it out of them, interrupting nature and neurophysics from running it's course.

many wonderfully collected articles are available for read @ http://www.madinamerica.com/..

More @ http://www.oregonstatehospital.net/resources.html

What I forsee for the future are treatments being made available that do not correct any problems but continue to mask the problem & cause other problems entirely. People will also be drugged into having a mental illness that never goes away, another cause for schizophrenia.

Looked to me like a psychiatrist doesn't believe in the disease she was being treated for, and so considered the treatment abuse. The rest was the "natural result" of that. http://www.madinamerica.com/20... http://www.theblaze.com/storie... (just the first two links from my search, there are piles more)

Psychiatry has a long history of mentally and physically maiming people, from shock torture, to lobotomies, to forced subjecting people to cold and heat and torture to modify behavior, to drugs that damage the brain and cause death 25 years sooner, to drugs that cause CTE/chronic traumatic encephalopathy, to drugs that induce psychosis, to drugs that cause dementia, to drugs that prevent recovery of a persons mind, etc. They are in fact behind the holocaust because it was psychiatrists coming up with the idea of eugenics, to cleanse the human race of what psychiatrists deemed were "bad DNA" of the homosexuals, jews, mentally ill, etc. Then psychiatrists were responsible for MKULTRA and CIA mind control programs here in the United States; and today they are responsible for the mind control program of operating "forced chemical lobotomy" centers to drug our youth, prisoners, and mentally ill subjects in hospitals and jails and community centers and schools all around the country.

Learn more about MKULTRA, how the drugs damage peoples brains, and how people are tortured in the mental health system. In fact, the United Nations is calling forced psychiatric treatment a form of torture, and WHO/World Health Organization has called it a secret hidden emergency (torture by psychiatrists in the mental health system): Reports from Dr. Grace E.

CCHR hooked me up with two attorney's when I was down in Los Angeles last week, visiting UCLA for a brain injury, when the psychiatrists there misdiagnosed me, refused to do tests or treatment for my physical injury, then had me committed to UCLA Resnick and tried to force medications when I had no signs of mental illness. I was informed by CCHR that UCLA is a military research facility and they just try to fill their beds for human experimentation, which I believe, based on what I know of UCLA's history of mind control programs funded by the CIA (MKULTRA participation). Without CCHR, it's possible I would have had no help whatsoever, because they are the only ones actually telling the truth about psychiatry and its' dark history (with lawyers, doctors, and money to back it up).
