Veteran's Rights Seminar
2022-12-14 17:30 - 19:00
Everyone has heard of PTSD. What you may not hear is that today, with militaries of the world awash in psychiatry and psychotropic medication, 22 veterans are committing suicide every day. But, why?

“We have never drugged our troops to this extent and the current increase in suicides is not a coincidence.” – Lt. Col. Bart Billings, Clinical Psychologist, U.S. Army Reserve, Ret.

.
The same drugs our soldiers are being prescribed have been linked to the recent military base shooting tragedies. Psychiatrists say to remedy these senseless acts of violence we need more psychiatry. But should we trust them?
