When it comes to curing anyone of a mental disorder, psychiatrists and psychologists are shameless in admitting failure. Eminent psychologist Tyrone D. Cannon, Ph.D and professor of psychology at Yale University openly states: “Many people wonder whether psychiatric...Mental Health Care not the Solution to Workplace Violence
The knee-jerk proclamation of journalists stating violent behavior is the result of “insufficient mental health care” is based on junk science, with absolutely no evidence to back it up. Even Psychology Today admits the evidence for psychiatric medications being the...Was Robin Williams Tragedy About Depression or About an Industry?

It’s quite a successful business model. Prisoners get screened when...Alternative Treatments for PTSD are Safer
