Side effects may include lawsuits

Good day friends,
It is most fitting during Mental Illness Awareness Week that the New York Times would publish this in their business section. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/03/business/03psych.html?scp=1&sq=october%202010%20pharma&st=cse
The need for more people to be aware of exactly what is happening to our mental health delivery system, and how unethical and negligent practices are part of the fabric that holds pychiatry together as the answer to mental illness. That they are nothing more than well paid puppets for pharmaceutical companies is not a new revalation, that the companies are finally being held accountable for their actions is.
The need for open dialogue and a factual education of the risks involved in following the medical model is finally surfacing in mainstream media.
That VIHA( Vancouver Island Health Authority) and other health agencies across this country endorse and promote pschiatry and medication as the most ethical, cost effective, and reliable treatment for mental illness is again false and misleading.
Many class action suits are still in the courts against many of the leading drug companies. That they outright influence how not only pychiatrists, but famly doctors, educators,politicians,health care providers, and more define and treat mental illness is in need of questioning.
The theories of pscyhiatry ,which are chemical imbalance and genetics, have never been proven.In light of what is happpening in courts against drug companies, it brings their theories into serious questions. To support the validity of such a practice as pychiatry, it becomes apparent that they are similar to people that believe in the theory that the earth is flat.
I welcome all who wish to defend the medical model to put forward their facts.Where is the scientific evidence to prove the theories of chemical imbalance or genetics? There is none available.
Prove that all of the disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual are diseases, again unproven.
With the deep pockets of drug companies, marketing is the only evidence that pychiatry has to fall back on. Most of the so called academic research is financed by drug companies, again slanted and false.
Those who have experienced or are experiencing mental illness are people first.That they are medicating children,seniors and others without any checks and balances is wrong. Such eroneous and unethical treatment of people is a stain on the collective conscience of our society.
Thanks for your tme, be well my friends.
