Everyone needs to understand this data!

Many people don't realise mind-altering psychiatric drugs, which are heavily pushed by manufacturers, prescribers and especially psychiatrists, do nothing more than chemically mask problems while also causing iatrogenic (drug-induced) illness.

The debilitating effects of chemically masking personal turmoil can make it appear as though something therapeutic has occurred, that the drugs are working. But, don't be fooled.

What has actually happened is a person has been sedated/tranquilised/drugged to the point where he or she can’t function in life and is manifesting the natural responses of the body to the introduction of a foreign substance that is confusing its normal functions.

Don't be fooled by the psychiatric drug propaganda.

"I would also like to remind doctors the oath to 'do no harm' was meant for their patients, not the pharmaceutical industry."

Listen to the patients. Not the drug companies. Not the psychiatrists. Not those who benefit from prescribing the drugs.

Absolutely correct!
Every person on this planet should and can experience different emotions, sad, happy, fear, anxious, it's part of human nature. Sure we have emotions that are not easy to bare at times but wouldn't you rather feel than be numb and have no feeling at all.
That is what Psychiatric drugs do, they mask the real why and numb so one then cannot express or feel what they naturally should. There are other solutions than these drugs!

"We need to inform the public to be more afraid of (psychiatric) medication and less afraid of their emotions and of illnesses." - Dr. Allen Frances, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Former Chair of Psychiatry at Duke University
