National Day of Action to Stop Psychiatric Profiling

CCHR Oregon supports the

National Day of Action to Stop Psychiatric Profiling

 

The reaction to recent events involving gun violence has been an alarming rush to enact laws promoting “Psychiatric Profiling”. These laws would restrict the rights of people labeled as “mentally ill”, and force them to endure harmful, counterproductive, psychiatric interventions.

Investigate the Cause:

There has yet to be a federal investigation into the link between psychiatric drugs and violence, despite 22 international drug regulatory agency warnings on psychiatric drugs causing violent side effects including

  • Aggression
  • Mania
  • Violence
  • Psychosis
  • Suicidal and homicidal ideation
  • 14 recent school shootings committed by those under the influence of, or withdrawal from, psychiatric drugs

Ten myths about psychotropic drugs

By Peter Gøtzsche, MD;  Co-founder of the Cochrane Collaboration. At the Nordic Cochrane Centre, we have researched antidepressants for several years and I have long wondered why leading professors of psychiatry base their practice on a number of erroneous myths. These myths are harmful to patients. Many psychiatrists are well aware that the myths do […]

Psychiatry, the drug industry’s paradise

Psychiatry is a paradise for the drug industry, as definitions of psychiatric disorders are vague and easy to manipulate. My studies in this area lead me to a very uncomfortable conclusion: Our citizens would be far better off if we removed all the psychotropic drugs from the market, as doctors are unable to handle them.
