Depression Screening for Pregnant Moms- What does this Mean?
Depression screening for pregnant moms has become almost commonplace. Central Hillsborough Healthy Start (CHHS) in Florida has a purported mission to save babies. They quote “Sixteen of every 1,000 babies born in central Hillsborough County die before their first...Mental Illness in Prison Population
The ranks of those incarcerated in state prisons have increased in unprecedented numbers over the past 10 years. Not surprisingly, courts demand that mental health screening and “treatment” (most often drugs) are given to those deemed mentally unstable. Recent studies...Signs of Suicide – A Mental Health Quiz That Fails
The Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program, a supposed “nationally recognized program designed for middle and high school-age students” is being pushed nationally into many state governments. Ironically, it’s about to be introduced into Newtown High School in Newtown,...Twitter a Tool for Mental Health Surveillance
Most people would agree that social media has made the world a different place. Twitter and Facebook can be useful tools for communication. Like most anything, both have good points and bad points. It is fun for many to get to know their favorite celebrities via...Obesity Screening Is Dangerous to Your Health
One third of Americans are believed to be obese and another third are thought to be overweight. This is clearly a national problem, but the American Medical Association has recently classified obesity as a disease. As a result, there will be more focus on obesity...Mental Disorder Tests Designed to Sell Antidepressant Drugs
Mental disorder tests have been designed and streamlined to quickly find citizens who can be given a diagnosis of “depression” and then a prescription for one or more antidepressant drugs. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one in ten...Mental Health America, Obamacare and the Destruction of Artists
Mental health in America is ramping up. President Obama’s goal is to increase depression screenings for adults and behavioral assessments for kids. This is despite psychiatry’s dismal record of treatment and increased incidents involving school violence and other...Schools Should Not Have Programs to Detect Mental Illness
Of course no one wants another school massacre like the one that just occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary a couple of months ago. So how do we prevent such a tragedy from happening again? Some think having armed guards at schools will protect our kids. Others think...More Mental Health Programs Mean More Mass Shootings
Since twenty school children and six adults were killed just before Christmas last year in a mass shooting in Newtown, CT, discussions of gun control and more access to mental health services are in the news daily. There is talk of bans on assault weapons and how our...Unwanted Screening for Disorders Alive and Well in Obamacare
Mental Health Screening has had its share of controversy. Upon the eve of Teenscreen ending in the United States, we have the Federal Health Bill which includes many more programs to mental health screen every single generation. There are no medical and scientific studies that show mental health disorders exist and none that exhibit a benefit from mental health screening.
The Mental Disorder Test Hoax
Finding an actual mental disorder test is a lesson in futility. Even the prestigious Mayo Clinic website can’t provide information on an actual test.
THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT-Does It Provide More Health Care at Less Cost?
The Affordable Health Care Act plans to place even more resources into a field which not only fails to preserve mental health, but is destroying lives. The faith being placed in psychiatry and their drug treatments might be broken if full investigations were made following the horribly senseless killings and suicides by those prescribed such drugs.
Mental Health America: Are our children at Risk?
Due to the supposed outbreak of poor mental health in America, TeenScreen was created at Columbia University in 2003. It came into being under a commission on mental health during George W. Bush’s administration. The TeenScreen program recommends that adolescent...Mandatory Mental Health Is Detrimental
Most people are familiar with the fact that Obamacare came about for the purpose of making health insurance available and affordable for millions of Americans who previously could not obtain it. In principal, that sounds like a good thing, but that idea has presented...Contact CCHR Florida
