Dude, if you can get Kentucky Prozac approved for use by the FDA, I'll start screaming at insurers to add Jefferson's, Woodford's and Blanton's to their covered prescriptions and we'll ALL be happy :)

"Let me continue to point out to readers that the slow mission creep of antipsychotics as monotherapy or adjuncts for depression should scare the beejesus out of one and all."

It's beyond comprehension it has gone this far, and in fact is going to create a new world rx junkie.

From snorting Seroquel to selling it on the streets; antipsychotics are going to damage generations of people--you cannot turn back once it starts and it has begun. Abilify, Risperdal, Invega, whatever the package name says, it's still a product that needs a black box warning and a FDA mandatory backstep to correct their error in protecting citizens, when the reason they don't have a black box is "data based on demented elderly".

Watch the Frontline PBS Medicated Child again, and listen to the FDA spokesman tell the truth about that on camera.

I believe it's time for the headlines to read :

"Antipsychotics, antipsychotics you need to know you're on antipsychotics." and bypass the failure of anti-depressant news, and get the public watchdog alarm sounding LOUDLY about what they are being replaced with as we speak.

Rebecca Riley was 4 yrs old and was on Seroquel,[and died] and it doesn't matter how or why as much as why was a doctor allowed to rx it to a child in the first place?

What's mental illness but psychosocial distress which is then put into a state a perpetuity by the simple power of suggestion that a psychiatrist has in his authority. You are told you have a disease and must be hypervigilant about certain symptoms, and then you begin to experience them materializing, and begin to come to believe when you hadn't before, that your entire self, mood, whatever, is being controlled by some phantom disease, that has chosen to attack you.

The unblinking fanatical, faith based biological determinism, as applied to so called mental illness, presents the trained eye with nothing but a constant glossy pile of pseudoscience dressed up in big pharma money, and anything purporting to be 'science' coming from the mental health field, is not worthy of your attention.

The state sanctioned monopoly given to biopsych for dealing with psychosocially overwhelmed people is obscene, and there is no rationale for forced administration of toxic agents to anybody. Protection from self or others and restraints or incaceration should extend as far as restricting psysical movement of the target only, and be a police matter, no doctor's who understand the mind exist in the world, i hate to tell you, any needle or pill forced into this person's biology, constitutes neurological rape, and the application by force, by the state, of unproven psychiatric ideology, and toxic agents into a person's organism. It is abhorrent, and heinous criminals are treated better than the first presentation psychotic.

Psychosis' biopathology is not understood at all, and no specific targeted biological treatment exists, so any claimed rudimentary version of such an agent should not be forced by the state on the innocent.

The myth about coercion that goes around is that the state is protenting you from self or haring others, but that is only half the story. If the state locked you in prison/restraints, as it does, than that would be the end of what is described in coercion. But that is not the case, the state, is telling you, and the world that you have biological disease when it forced biological treatment, declaring this as 'fact' and impacting your life for years to come and not to mention your body, now when as a society or as individuals, or as families, are we going to demand a hire standard of evidence that we have a biological problem requiring biological treatment, because all we have now is a bible, a clergy, a stack of theology papers, televangelism ads, and toxic holy water and blister packs full of eucharists, and a heap of fanatics with mouthpieces, and call to prayer a few times a day.

When, oh when, are you people going to see...you've changed your view of yourselves, of your neighbors, your very identity and past, present and futures, all from the power of suggestion.

Whatever alledgedly tangible problem say you have, it's just a construct and you know it, deep down, you just have to dig your way out. If you've got parkinson's disease, neuroscience can maybe help.

If you get involved with psychiatry, your life is going to be shorter than it otherwise would have been. Simple as that. The proble is people are not warned of the risks of psychiatry, and that is why they are gullible prey.

Psychiatry preys on people when they are at the lowest ebb, when they are the weakest. It applies toxic agents to them, which invariably reduce cognitive function, and in this diminished state, task these people with coming to grips that they suddenly have a life threatening disease, which psychiatry cannot see, identify the cause of, predict the outcome of, cure, prevent, even prove that it exists, and is not visible on the autopsy table.

The society hands psychiatry the mantle of authority for dealing with overwhelmed people, and in an increasingly secular and scientistic (yes that is a word people) we will defer to experts or those presented to us as experts more and more unquestioningly, and when they tell us we have a disease, the power of suggestion is at work, but it appears to be an actual disease, it's a negative placebo effect kind of phenomena.

This is what is happening to all of you who claim you have a disease which is found in the DSM.

You feel and experience the mood swings because you been turned into a hypervigilant and neurotic individual, conditioned and disempowered of your self determination by buying into psychiatry's ideology, which is a faith based ideology which can offer you absolutely no objective, heavily replicatable, honest, scientific basis, for a fucking thing that has been said to you.

This viscious phenomena, if it has gone on too long, you'll be so heavily invested in it, in time and effort and commitment to your patient identity, that you'll immediately lash out and say I am wrong. But I am right.

Psychiatry is the greatest peacetime threat advanced society has ever faced, and I truly hope, that one day you'll join me, and the world can live as one.

I agree that anyone who watched the Frontline show on The Medicated Child or read Benedict Carey's series on kids on antipsychotics must be shaking their head in disbelief that this stuff is still being approved for kids. Honestly between stimulants, antidepressants, and antipsychotics (and I'm sure there are others) a whole generation is at risk -- I cannot even begin to imagine where we are going to be in 10, 20 or 30 years. The health issues that we will be facing boggle the mind.
