Mental Health Industry Facts:* Every 75 seconds, someone is involuntarily committed into a mental institution in the U.S. alone, where they can be restrained, electroshocked and drugged against their will. These victims have committed no criminal offense, are denied due process, and yet are imprisoned — often for years.* More than 100,000 patients die each year in psychiatric institutions around the world.* According to a 2004 study by the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights, “People are being institutionalized in psychiatric hospitals unlawfully, and on the most diverse grounds. Not only did punitive psychiatry exist during the Soviet period, and not only does it exist today, unfortunately there are no grounds to hope that it will disappear in the foreseeable future.â€* Psychiatrists continue to use electroshock and drugs to torture political dissidents. These are precisely the same devices and means psychiatrists’ use on patients as “therapy.â€* With electroshock, psychiatrists send as much as 460 volts of electricity searing through the brain. Three-quarters of these shock victims are women — most are elderly.* Studies show that between 10 and 25 percent of psychiatrists has sex with patients. One of every 20 of these victims could be a minor.* 20 million children worldwide are on psychiatric drugs, which have been acknowledged by international drug regulatory agencies to cause suicide, hostility, violence, mania and drug dependence, stroke and sudden death.* According to a United Nations report, many of the 250,000 children forced into armed combat by revolutionaries and terrorists are drugged with amphetamines and tranquilizers to enable them to “go on murderous binges for days.†In Western countries those same drugs may be forced onto children as “treatment.â€* Physical restraint of psychiatric patients is commonplace. At least 150 restraint deaths occur each year in U.S. psychiatric facilities alone. Many of the victims are children, some as young as 6 years old. Few, if any of those responsible are ever criminally prosecuted.* A review of acts of violence in U.S. schools between 1998 and 2006 revealed that 38% of children and teens responsible for these crimes were taking psychiatric drugs. The relationship of psychiatric drugs in the remaining school shootings has not been publicly disclosed or the student’s records are sealed.* Today, $2 trillion is spent worldwide on mental health, $100 billion in the United States, but with no workable methods of helping people, psychiatrists promote an ever-increasing rate of “mental illness†to solicit more government appropriations.* Psychiatrists’ recent claim is that 50% of the American population suffers a mental illness during their lifetime that experts say means they are “medicalizing unhappiness.â€
