Message of video entry:

Millions of children worldwide are placed on mind-altering psychiatric drugs. Their parents are never given the full information on the FDA warnings and side effects.  This leads to tragic consequences.  Parents are not told that there are no medical tests to prove that one single mental health disorder exists.  They are not told that there are medical tests that can be done to detect underlying physical causes, such as nutritional deficiencies, allergies, thyroid problems and more.
 
Music and poetry are universal languages that can be used to
communicate the truth to millions of families. 
 
Enter your music/performance video in our contest

Psychiatric "Living Will"

Letter of protection from Psychiatric Incarceration and/or treatment

being of sound mind, willfully and voluntarily make known my desire that should it be so considered or decided that I be subject to involuntary incarceration or hospitalization (also known as committal and certification) in a psychiatric hospital, ward, facility, home or nursing home, and/or that I be subject to psychiatric procedures including, but not limited to, any form of psychosurgical or neurological operation such as lobotomy or leukotomy, electro-convulsive treatment...

Natural Alternatives

Now, thanks to the growing media coverage of these harmful drug side-effects, increasing numbers of people suffering from depression, anxiety and eating disorders are turning to safe natural solutions from naturopaths, acupuncturists and even chiropractors...

Children & School Drugging

With the categories of “other health impairments, or specific learning disabilities” we have walked ourselves into an age in which children (as young as toddlers) can be diagnosed, without medical evidence of having any disorder, and labeled and placed in the Special Education classes. Once, a bright, creative, intelligent and independent child, who perhaps is “too much of a handful” for most teachers and school counselors, is now considered “other health impaired”...

Psychiatry - Pretend Science

The Diagnostic Statistical Manual is a list of 374 invented "disorders" that will follow a child or adult throughout their lives. These labels are put in their medical records, school records, employment records and as evidenced by many researchers and doctors throughout the world, this is all a pretend science or pseudo-science...

Psychiatric Drugs

The FDA asked the makers of 10 major antidepressant drugs, including versions of Prozac, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Effexor and Zoloft, to place more detailed, explicit warnings on the labels for their medicines. The FDA didn't order the manufacturers to change their labels, but urged them to do so voluntarily. The new cautions would ask doctors to monitor patients for a variety of symptoms from insomnia and irritability to hostility and panic attacks that might possibly signal greater risks...

Psychiatric Abuse

CCHR Florida's team educates the public as to the fact that there are no medical tests, brain scans, blood tests, chemical imbalance tests that can be done to prove any of the "mental health disorders" actually exist. We inform people that there are many renown doctors who have medical tests that can be done to show that physical ailments, such as nutritional deficiencies and allergies, as well as other physical causes, can be the cause of any unwanted "mental health" symptoms. This information, alone, makes a huge difference to those who are concerned by the false information that they receive from psychiatrists who tell them they or their child has some sort of mental health "disorder".

News Articles

Florida St. Pete Times - Psychiatric Drug Epidemic

Florida psychiatrists have been very busy filling out perscriptions the past few years. The number of Florida kids prescribed psychiatric antipsychotic drugs has risen nearly 250% in the last seven years.

The Psychiatric - Pharma Cover Up

On June 30, 2006, the Alaska Supreme Court recognized that psychiatric drugs should not be easily forced on someone, stating: “Psychotropic drugs ‘affect the mind, behavior, intellectual functions, perception, moods, and emotion’ and are known to cause a number of potentially devastating side effects….” Further, “Given the nature and potentially devastating impact of psychotropic medications…we now similarly hold that the right to refuse to take psychotropic drugs is fundamental.”

Psychiatry’s “Billing Bible”

The profitability of psychiatry “medicalizing” behaviors and emotions can be traced to the vested interests of psychiatrists who profit from inventing and categorizing new mental disorders. A 2006 study in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics found a majority (56%) of the panel members responsible for revisions to the DSM had one or more financial ties to drug companies. The study also found that 100% of the panel members on “Mood Disorders” and “Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders” had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. The lead author of this study, Lisa Cosgrove of the University of Massachusetts Boston stated, “No blood tests exist for the disorders in the DSM. It relies on judgments from practitioners who rely on the manual.”

Silent Killers in Nursing Homes

A new study released in the UK found anti psychotics linked to a significant increase in the mortality rate of the elderly. The study, funded by the UK’s Alzheimer's Research Trust, found only one-third of the patients taking anti psychotics were still alive after three years, compared with two-thirds of the patients taking a placebo. It also found that anti psychotics, used to sedate and control the elderly, were associated with a significant deterioration in mental functioning and in speech motor controls. In the U.S., despite the Food and Drug Administration-ordered black box warning about the fatal risks of anti psychotics for the elderly, seniors in nursing homes are routinely prescribed these deadly drugs.

Michael Moore Calls for Federal Investigation
in School Shooters and Psychiatric Drugs

"The Eli Lilly Corp., pharmaceutical company, for nearly 15 years covered up their own internal investigation that showed that anyone on Prozac is 12 times more likely to attempt suicide than those using other antidepressants that is 12 times more than the average population. That’s 12 times more than those already on the other antidepressants this is a criminal act. And I want to know why these criminals are still walking the streets."

Anna Nicole Smith’s Psychiatrist Under Investigation

Eroshevich prescribed Smith eleven drugs, including anti psychotics, anti-anxiety drugs and sedatives—a lethal combination which killed 39-year-old Smith. According to media reports, Eroshevich is now under investigation by the California Medical Board.

Some national media have already started to target Eroshevich, referring to her as a drug “pusher” and “supplier”—questioning whether her medical license will be revoked for facilitating and enabling Smith’s death. CCHR goes further by saying she should be criminally investigated and prosecuted as warranted.

Experts Debunk DSM

The scientific validity of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has come under increasing attack from medical professionals and scientific experts such as Herb Kutchins of California State University and Stuart A. Kirk of UCLA, who found that “…there is ample reason to conclude that the latest versions of DSM as a clinical tool are unreliable and therefore of questionable validity as a classification system.”
