DSM-V Shows Insanity of Psychiatry
The latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) is due to be released this month. It has been published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) since 1952. Its purpose is to identify and classify “mental disorders.” In...Involuntary incarceration isn’t solution for personal, social ills
National tragedies like the student massacres in Columbine, Colorado; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Newtown, Connecticut tend to revive state and national debates and legislation on mental health reforms. This often heated political discussion involves the involuntary...Putting Children on Antipsychotics Is Unconscionable
Antipsychotics are dangerous mind-altering psychiatric drugs that are usually prescribed for schizophrenia and bipolar. They are increasingly being prescribed for disruptive behavior “disorders” in children. These drugs have enough alarming potential side effects so...Mental Disorder Test Must Include Physical Exam
Any mental disorder test should be accompanied by a physical exam. Since the psychiatric profession admits there is no mental disorder test to determine which of their many labeled mental diseases a person may have, it is important to look elsewhere for a cause. For...Psychiatric Drugs Made Colorado Shooter Violent
Last summer James Holmes opened fire in a Colorado movie theater and killed twelve people and wounded more than fifty others. Mainstream media didn’t give any logical motives and did not even ask the right kind of questions. Doesn’t anyone wonder how a graduate...Can Anxiety Attack Symptoms Be Caused by Food Allergies?
Many doctors and nutritionists are finding that anxiety attack symptoms and some types of depression are the result of food allergies. Correct the diet and the person’s unwanted mental and emotional symptoms disappear. This research flies in the teeth of...Psychiatry’s Push for Mental Illness Results in Disregard for Real Disease
The number of “mental disorders” has grown exponentially since they were first collectively published in the early fifties.

One...Benzodiazepines Can Cause Dementia and Other Serious Side Effects
Psychiatric drugs such as Xanax and Valium are pretty much on the same level of notoriety as Prozac and Zoloft. However, Xanax and Valium are not antidepressants but are benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines have sedative and hypnotic effects. They are widely...Mental Health Meds DO Cause Suicide and Violence
School massacres have been happening for almost fifteen years now if one regards Columbine in 1999 as the first one of note. Mass shootings and murder-suicides date back much earlier. It certainly appears that massacres by young men have been occurring in increasing...

More Mental Health Programs Mean More Mass Shootings
Since twenty school children and six adults were killed just before Christmas last year in a mass shooting in Newtown, CT, discussions of gun control and more access to mental health services are in the news daily. There is talk of bans on assault weapons and how our...What is Mental Health? – A Look at Psychiatric Drugs, Guns and Mass Killers
An answer to what is mental health appeared on January 16th in President Obama’s proposals to reduce gun violence in the United States. It could strongly be argued it is the wrong answer. First he calls for closing background check loopholes to try to keep guns out of...Chemical Imbalance and ADHD Myths
There is a relationship between the chemical imbalance theory and ADHD myths. The drugs are not “correcting chemical imbalances.” These are psychoactive drugs that cause an altered physical and mental state. Psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin, a staunch critic of...Helping Children with Depression
Some feel the only way of helping children with depression is the prescribing of barely tested and dangerous drugs, many of which are not recommended for children in the first place. These drugs may have disastrous results, as has been proven again and again. It seems...Contact CCHR Florida
