| Cures for Mental Illness |
 |
Please don't think I believe this crap.
People often do get better and become free of
any mental disorder symptoms but psychiatry
doesn't acknowledge that.
In the world of psychiatry, what cures exist
for mental illness. You are about to find
out.
This video references the top authorities of
mental health in the United States.
So, we have all these mental illnesses like
depression, OCD, bipolar, ADHD, social
anxiety disorder, Asperger's Syndrome,
anorexia, and the list goes on.
So, we prescribe all these drugs to people
that are diagnosed with one or more of these
mental disorders. Like antidepressants like
Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa,
Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin.
SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors) are often promoted as correcting
chemical imbalances in the brain but there is
no proof that depression or mental illness is
caused by chemical imbalances in the brain
nor is there any proof that antidepressants
correct an imbalance.
Medications like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall,
Dexedrine, Strattera, Focalin and Metadata
for ADHD. All have undesirable side effects
and can damage a person's organs.
Often extreme states of mind like
schizophrenia are drugged with antipsychotic
medications such as Risperdal, Zyprexa,
Seroquel, Geodon, Haldol, Thorazine,
Stelazine and Clozaril. All of these drugs
are used to control symptoms only. They are
not cure for mental disorders. They all have
an unknown mechanism of action. Some have
side effects and adverse events that can
cause permanent neurological damage, movement
disorders, diabetes, weight gain, impaired
cognitive functioning.

volunteers, drug demand reduction
coordinators, criminal justice professionals,

Summary And Objectives: "Millions of
American today receive health care for mental
or substance-use problems and illnesses.
These conditions are the leading cause of
combined disability and death of women and
the second highest of men." "Improving the
Quality of health Care for Mental and
Substance-Use Conditions," Institute of
Medicine Report, November 1, 2005; Studies
are showing an alarming trend, incidents of
mental illness related to drug use are on the
rise. It's unclear what came first, did a
predisposition to mental illness lead to drug
use, or is it the other way around? No
matter what, co-occurring disorders are a
problem. Especially in the wake of this
year's hurricanes and other disasters, mental
health and substance abuse professionals need
to be poised to provide additional care for
those suffering serious mental trauma and who
may turn to alcohol and drugs as a result.
During this hour-long broadcast, hear from
treatment providers about the delicate
balance between treating a person's addiction
and his or her mental illness. We'll also
learn about the stigma attached to mental
illness and how coalitions can help fight it.
Hear from representatives of the American
Psychiatric Association about the group's
advocacy of comprehensive and
non-discriminatory health insurance coverage
of mental illness and substance abuse
disorders. Learning Objectives:
Define co-occurring disorders; Learn about
the difficulty treating co-occurring
disorders; Discover solutions to the problems
both communities and patients face; See how
community-based organizations can help
improve the local climate to assist those in
recovery from substance use disorders and
mental health problems;

Recovery: Schizophrenia & Mental Illness --
Psychology
People recovery from schizophrenia & severe
mental disorders
The assumption in psychiatry that "mental
illness" is permanent is untrue.
Many mental health problems such as
depression, bipolar episodes, anxiety &
psychosis are simply temporary acute states
of mind which a person can fully recovery
from.
Drugs like antidepressants, antipsychotics &
anxiety medications can have long term side
effects, may cause permanent neurological
damage to the brain & in some cases and might
actually slow down one's recovery.

| Truth About Mental Illness and Disease |
 |
http://www.encognitive.com
The idea of mental illness as a biological
entity is easy to refute. In 1988, Seymour
S. Kety, M.D., Professor Emeritus of
Neuroscience in Psychiatry, and Steven
Matthysse, Ph.D., Associate Professor of
Psychobiology, both of Harvard Medical
School, said "an impartial reading of the
recent literature does not provide the
hoped-for clarification of the catecholamine
hypotheses, nor does compelling evidence
emerge for other biological differences that
may characterize the brains of patients with
mental disease"
In 1992 a panel of experts assembled by the
U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment
concluded: "Many questions remain about the
biology of mental disorders. In fact,
research has yet to identify specific
biological causes for any of these disorders.
... Mental disorders are classified on the
basis of symptoms because there are as yet no
biological markers or laboratory tests for
them."
Columbia University psychiatry professor Jack
M. Gorman, M.D., said "We really do not know
what causes any psychiatric illness."
Another Columbia University psychiatry
professor, Jerrold S. Maxmen, M.D., said "It
is generally unrecognized that psychiatrists
are the only medical specialists who treat
disorders that, by definition, have no
definitively known causes or cures. ... A
diagnosis should indicate the cause of a
mental disorder, but as discussed later,
since the etiologies of most mental disorders
are unknown, current diagnostic systems can't
reflect them."
Psychiatrist Peter Breggin, M.D., said "there
is no evidence that any of the common
psychological or psychiatric disorders have a
genetic or biological component."
