What you don't take into consideration is the role of toxicity in mental illness.

Mental illness because of metal poisoning has been known about for centuries. The first indication of mercury poisoning, for instance is anxiety. Lead causes anger issues and poor impulse control. Arsenic, great anguish and despair. (Andy Cutler, Phd, writes about this in his book "Hair Test Interpretation. Interestingly, some of his research is from the old homeopaths who poisoned themselves with various agents and carefully wrote down their experiences of the results.)

Children are still getting poisoned with mercury from "that product that must not be named" schedule. That's where all this frigging autism is coming from! The elderly, like myself, are all getting dementia from the chronic exposure and build up from their dental work. There comes a point where the body can't deal with it anymore.

It gives me no pleasure to say this, but the people who profit from this have to know about it! They purposely poison humanity and then reap the rewards from the chronic illness that ensues.

I have thoroughly enjoyed learning about various toxic syndromes as I have learned homeopathy. Arsenicum album (white arsenic) is one of my oft-used remedies.

Very true. My 16yo niece is the product of the medical industrial complex (alllll the shots & interventions ... tubes in ears, tonsils out, antibiotics yearly) and is currently on anti anxiety meds which caused her to have a seizure this last week and end up in the hospital. The dr on call flat out told her mom that it is the meds but I doubt they take her off them. It breaks my heart to see heavy metal poisoned kiddos reach their toxic load and then get shuffled into the psychiatric system.

She probably needs to chelate. But at the very least she could get on some supplements that can help. That whole generation is so messed up! I see it everywhere. I have gotten kids in my family to get on to Thorne adrenal cortex which helps a whole lot with the anxiety they all have. Can't get them to chelate because it is too complicated but they will take the adrenal cortex because it clearly helps and it works really fast, too.

My man! The academy of ideas also has a phenomenal membership video on psychiatry.

The biggest takeaway here is that we’re using physical methods (ie drugs and chemicals) to treat a spiritual condition.

Once we understand what our mind is — and how it’s entirely this spiritual etheric plasmic substance that interacts with our world — and not something in our brain, we see how psychiatry is deeply flawed.

Here are some of my works on the topic:

PS: it was psychiatry that made me finally leave the community pharmacy setting too as I discussed in the interview 🙌

I have worked with children most of my professional life. When I worked at a children's residential treatment center in Georgia I discovered how terrible this problem is. At this facility there was 1 psychiatrist for 100 kids. They were all put on an arms length of meds. I was fired. Zyprexia, Risperdal all have warnings for children. Nobody cares.

I had a real time experience with this. A friend, twenty or thirty years ago had a baby boy. She struggled with him as he was 'not a happy boy' after months of doctor's visits she still struggled until she had a friend suggest acidophilus and bifidus.... It changed him almost instantly! He was a much happier boy. She felt so bad at times she said in tears that she regretted having her son because she couldn't handle his emotions prior to taking the probiotic. Thanks for posting ❤️

Excellent essay, to which I'll only add that, yes, it's getting worse, but it's been destroying children's lives since the 1970's, and probably before.

It was primarily wards of the court that were the experimental victims, back then. Now, it's gone mainstream.

Orphans who had no powerful adult to defend them back in the 70's, were not always medicated, but they were imprisoned in various ways that damaged them emotionally to the point of impairing development and rendering long-term normal human trust-bonding, nearly impossible.

When ODD was introduced into the lexicon, anyone paying attention knew the purpose and eventual result.

This is by far the best explanation of how and why this evolved. Thank you for all your hard work in composing the details.

Until the sheep stop bleating and start biting the slaughter of bodies and minds will continue. With worse to come.

Man has been bled for centuries in return for his incestuous infatuation with being led, all so that he can be absolved of individual responsibility and accountability.

Journal Faces Lawsuit Over Discredited Study Used by GSK to Market Dangerous Antidepressant to Teens.

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/paxil-marketed-teens-gsk-study-329-discredited-elsevier-journal-lawsuit/

The study, published by the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in its journal, JAACAP, actually found that paroxetine (Paxil) was neither safe nor effective. Internal documents later showed that GSK hired a PR firm to ghostwrite the article, cherry-picking data and recruiting 20 co-authors to lend credibility. The company then used the paper to market Paxil to doctors.

I'm perplexed that they still think SSRIs are effective after decades of research showing that they're not.

Serotonin is not the happy neurotransmitter, it's the dreaming/hibernation one.

https://haidut.me/?s=Serotonin

While they keep on approving dangerous drugs and fail to call out SSRIs, the FDA recently rejected MDMA even though it got good results with PTSD on some bullshit that some therapists took advantage of patients. Really? This happens with or without MDMA as the DR title itself feeds narcissism and power.

As for causes of issues, lead was a big driver of violence and cognitive issues.

I was told the antidepressant science was bullshit in my first year of undergrad psych by my Abnormal Psych professor. If you look at psychoneuroimmunology the SSRI's might be aiding in neurogenesis, which could give some relief. But you can do that with microdosing (or macrodosing) classical psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD without the horrid side effects. And it'll give you a decrease in inflammation, which is being shown to be a huge factor in almost all human disease.

Client safety and wellbeing is a huge issue that shouldn't be swept under the rug. But you are correct that licensed professionals do harm just as much as non-licensed or regulated ones. We think that the regulation prevents the harm, but it just codifies it and, rarely, gives a path for retribution. https://innerevolution.substack.com/p/licensure-accountability-and-responsibility?r=302ssb

All mind altering drugs legal or illegal produce unwanted side effects. This is because they alter the brains natural state. The brain intakes and processes sensory information from the environment, and controls the production and correct levels of the appropriate endogenous chemicals to enable the appropriate response to environmental conditions. Any psychotropic or hallucinatory drug that alters this natural response and induces an unnatural response to our environment can only have negative outcomes.

I have long been puzzled by the observation that doctors don't seem to notice the arbitrariness of the diagnostic criteria in the DMS. As you point out, it's x out of y checked boxes. Well, why x and not w or z? What and who decided that 8 of 16 behaviors or feelings was enough but not 7, or that actually you don't need 10?

And none of the lists or criteria give any explanation. They are all observational only. They tell you a behavior is present but give no information as to why.
