Don’t Become a Victim of Psychiatric Fraud

They have also made the public think that “mental disorders” are just like any real...Why is ADHD Rampant Only in the United States?
It is all too common these days that a child who can’t sit still in class or can’t focus on his school work will be diagnosed with ADHD and put on psychotropic drugs as treatment. At least nine percent of American school children have been given such a diagnosis and...NIMH Casts Aside DSM V
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is the federal agency that conducts and supports research that seeks to understand, treat, and prevent mental illness. NIMH recently dismissed the long awaited DSM V manual as being unworthy of NIMH’s future research and...Psychiatry’s Push for Mental Illness Results in Disregard for Real Disease

The Modern “Medication Generation” –Learned to Say Yes To Drugs
Today, 4 million children begin their school day by taking a small yellow pill, Ritalin, to control their hyperactivity. Since 1990, there has been a 700% increase in the use of the stimulant. And more than 2.5 million prescriptions for anti-depressants were written for pre-schoolers and adolescents.
THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT-Does It Provide More Health Care at Less Cost?

When Life Became an Illness
In life, we experience a wide range of feelings – grief, boredom, happiness, anger and
hopelessness, to name a few. These are all normal emotions that people feel
