Robert Whitaker- Les racines de l’épidémie psychiatrique - PsykoVision -...



 In 2011 - 2012,
the psychiatrist that held me in bondage to him, he wanted total submission to
his use of me, utilisation of my body for his tests of chemicals. He put me
into a constant state of threats of much worse, fear of being accused of
‘deteriorating’ or ‘not complying.’ He didn’t want to detect any reaction from
my body that might indicate I disproved of his violations, he wanted to be at
ease that I was thoroughly indoctrinated, trusting and venerating his every
command. If he could smell a whiff of fear sweating from my apocrine glands, I
would be called to account for my ‘hygiene’ and would be threatened with
arbitrary detention and increased dose of torture, he dubbed 'required
medicine' if I didn’t wear deodorants that stung and blistered my underarms.
That psychiatrist, he forced me to pull down my pants as he got his staff to
stick pricks full of poison in me each fortnight, or I would be put in
arbitrary detention, dose increase, tied down, maybe even electrocuted. I
feigned that I had an epiphany, that I needed his abuse, and with much measured
interrogation, he was suitably satisfied I’d do his bidding without giving him
trouble, and if I didn’t, he could just easily get me again, so I got to go on his
pet research project on a new drug. Horrible drug too, but with a pill, I could
pretend I took it, and only take a little when I saw him, so I could clearly
look him in the eye and say I’d taken it, because if he suspected I didn’t a
blood test would be ordered.

Neuroleptics are the most horrible torture, that shuts
down your ability to communicate, as well as your physical ability. It’s worse
than any other torture, it deprives you of yourself.

Please makes sure that Australia repeals the Mental
Health Acts, that enable psychiatrists to forcibly exploit millions of people
for invasive, cruel human experimentation . I have until Jan 3rd to get
signatures on this Government e-petition


Please think of those #VOP who are, or are yet to be
arbitrarily detained & tortured 24/7 indefinitely during the holiday
season, while the rest of Australia is feasting and laughing.

208 years of Forced Human Experimentation

Insulin Shock, was considered to be a 'cure' from the 1920s until the 1960s, when it was replaced by neuroleptic chemical lobotomies. It wasn't a cure, or help (like most of psychiatry's abuses on humans) it killed many, caused brain-damage, and none of those people who survived the suffering of it were compensated, or allowed to speak to mainstream media to gain validation for being forced into these horrible human experiments.

A survivor of Insulin Shock writes,'My insulin-induced hunger or forced starvation was intense and excruciatingly painful. It went to the core of my very being. There are two types of insulin shock – coma and subcoma, I got the latter. However, I once went into a coma which Dr. Sharpe and other psychiatrists never warned me about, and which is carefully omitted on my medical chart.'


Society must start to consider how insulin is NOW being used by medicos to murder people. That this FORCED human experimentation, has yielded data on how to kill people, that medicos have access to the precise details of. Here's some articles that expose those murdering medicos:

It is understood that a certain dose of Clozapine will kill people, just as insulin will. Clozapine is being currently experimented on, in Australia, over and above other kinds of drugs in psychiatry's array of chemicals, even though it is an old drug, that prior to 2014, was forced, or coerced on people (under duress) as a 'last resort', because it was highly dangerous and needed to be monitored, and often killed people. There is most likely a vested interest in finding out whether it is reliable to kill people, or perhaps being used for trials to do with lowing the white blood-cell count. Companies that do Human Research into blood disorders, may be beneficiaries of people who are enslaved into this human experimentation. These companies may well even pay for the data. If that is not going on, then, there's a lot of extra monitoring of people's blood and heart etc... because they've been placed on this drug, often with other drugs, to see the effects. And, in Australia a $60 billion dollar tax bill per year, to pay for this unwanted Forced Human Experimentation, that causes 24/7 indefinite torture to millions of Australians every year.

'A senior psychiatric practitioner made the verbatim statement that, Quote: “Eastern Health (Upton House) has no other effective treatment options other than ECT, as the family refuses to consider clozapine. We believe his (Garth’s) current medication regime is ineffective”. Unquote. Such an admission in our view, "we say" contravenes both agreed medical conventions on this very high-risk forced medication approach.' http://www.glennfloyd.org/garth.pdf


This is obviously a grant to look at the effects of Clozapine on diabetes and heart conditions. (MECTA that make ECT machines, linked to Pfizer via an umbrella pharmaceutical company, most likely also involved. Although ECT is often just used as a threat that is carried through to get a person to agree to whatever the psychiatrist wants).

There are probably experiments perhaps done on changing person's blood-type, but I'm not sure why this would be immediately financed or of interest to those investing in it. I'm just aware that mine changed, and there is, if you look it up a medical understanding on how a disease like rubella, or other stressors can change a person's blood-type.

Psychiatric drugs, particularly the neuroleptics, are one of the most horrendous tortures in the world, shutting down a person's ability to self-advocate, making a person an invalid, making a person in constant pain, as well as inarticulate.


NB: The approvals covered access to medical records without patient consent

Look further at this document here:
http://www.ccretherapeutics.org.au/research/clozapine/monitoringarticle_anzjp2011.pdf

208 years of Forced Human Experimentation, that is the history of psychiatry, and it hasn't stopped, it has increased. It is time for Investigative Journalists to start really looking into what the psychiatric regime is doing in Australia and other countries in the world. Robert Whitaker (Investigative Journalist, USA) has been marvellous in being able to understand and listen to people who have suffered psychiatry, and get their point of view heard. However, it is rare in Australia, for journalists to take our side, and in speaking to journalists hoping they are on our side, we often find that they have vested interests and they end up writing for those who perpetrate the wrongs on us, distorting and misquoting us. It is horrible, as psychsurvivors to constantly see the perpetrators of forced human experimentation, being allowed their point-of-view, because of the greed of journalists and publications.

I'm thinking the vested interest for most journalists in their pitching of a story to magazines, TV, or radio, is advertising, and while psychiatric drugs are not directly advertised on TV, the company that makes the popular toothpaste advertisement, the shampoo, the skin cream... is the same company that makes the neuroleptics forced on Australian Citizens against their will.

Then, there are the donations to the political parties... and that means ABC will be put under some kind of pressure, probably more than commercial media, no matter what party gets in. To do an expose on government crimes against citizens, is one thing, to expose their sponsors, another.

What do neuroleptics, cigarette smoke, some wines, and dental anaesthetics have in common? Propylene glycol


I'm thinking that propylene glycol might be a huge culprit for me, allergy wise. Second-hand smoke from normal tobacco, also e-cigs, theatre smoke, nasty effects to my body, itching, swelling, immune system goes berserk. Some wines, that had propylene glycol used as a cooling agent, particularly reds, nasty for me, lymph swellings. Also, dental injections, (Inferior alveolar nerve anaesthesia) that GPs can also give in the arm for a skin sample, have propylene glycol in them, do nasty reactions like heavy nose bleeds. I use organic skin/ hair products these days for obvious reasons. Neuroleptics... very nasty reactions on my body, including hair loss. All neuroleptics seem to have propylene glycol in them. I’m not saying it’s the only product in neuroleptics that is harmful, however…

It should be mandatory for all people to be tested for propylene glycol allergy, before they are forcefully drugged by psychiatrists. It is far worse to be forced to take neuroleptic tablets on a daily basis, forced, because otherwise you’ll injected with long acting neuroleptics that also contain propylene glycol. The neuroleptics are in the body all the time, meant to be, according to psychiatrists.

Escaping red wine, cigarette users and dental numbing is far easier than escaping psychiatrists who burst into your living space unwelcomed and unwanted, and forcefully drag you off so they can get propylene glycol into you, in sickly high doses.

Yep. I think if people tested for propylene glycol allergy, those people couldn’t easily be injected with neuroleptics, if they’ve written it into an Advanced Statement. Fear of malpractice suits being launched might prevail. Just thinking of ways…

Psychiatrists MUST tell their patients of harmful effects of withdrawing from psychiatric drugs too rapidly


THIS MUST BE MANDATORY!

It has come to my attention that psychiatrists STILL do not tell their patients that there is a need to withdraw slowly from major tranquilisers/ neuroleptics/ ‘anti-psychotics’.


This is a breach of ‘informed consent’. Not giving this information to a patient, means a person can be put through unnecessary suffering, which can be very dangerous, even deadly. This suffering could be alleviated, if they were informed to withdraw slowly, and, in ideal circumstances, aided and helped by a psychiatrist or GP in doing this.

People who may stop taking psych drugs for very good reasons. Quite often people don’t want to take them forever, because of the horrific debilitating side-effects, and, because they don't really do what psychiatrists claim they should be doing.

People often get told by psychiatrists that they have to take neuroleptics forever. This is not reasonable, especially when there are so many side-effects, when important social functions such as driving, reading, sex function, conversation and operating machinery are hampered. Especially when there is Tardive Dyskinesia, or akinesia emerging, and this harm caused by the drug is dismissed or ignored by the treating psychiatrist… what is a person to do? People as young as 23 complain of feeling like they have Alzheimer’s on these drugs. I felt that way myself, until I came off them. I was sure my brains had eroded. No, it was the neuroleptic.  There’s also those 25 years that get torn from the lives of people on a regimen of neuroleptics. Read enough and you’ll know all this, and that you need to come off psych drugs slowly. But if your sight is blurring because of the drugs and your thoughts are clouded and you’re chronically fatigued, then how are you going to do that?


I’ve seen over a hundred psychiatrists in a 14 year period and none of them informed me of the horrific withdrawal effects of neuroleptics. Yet psychiatrists do know to withdraw people slowly from one neuroleptic before getting a person to take another, or they should.


Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist, writes at length about withdrawing from neuroleptics in his book, ‘Your drug may be your problem.’


Icarus project has a free pdf on ‘Harm reduction’.

All psychiatric, medical, clinical psychology, mental health and psychiatric drug related websites should include something similar about slow withdrawal from drugs/ harm reduction.

Psychiatrists should be informing all patients about drug related harm reduction. Australia has got to make this mandatory for psychiatrists to do.

Hospitals have systems in place for harm reduction for stimulant use.


It is ridiculous that these hard drugs, which are major tranquilisers, have for so long been written off in documents by ‘Mental Health’ organisations as not having harmful withdrawal effects. It is ridiculous that these withdrawal effects are seen as ‘symptoms of psychosis’. They are NOT.


I came off Solian, from 200mg to nothing and my whole face and body twitched as parts of me came back to life. I had a headache that lasted 2 weeks. At that time, 2009, I didn’t know you were meant to come of these drugs slowly, but I’d been medicalised by psychiatry since 1998!


It has taken me 2 years, after slow reduction from Zuclopenthixol, to get my emotions to stabilise and the Tourette’s caused by this drug to fade. I have had a lot of support from friends, Intervoice, my tafe, colleagues and my partner, that allow discussions of what had other years been denied.


I think this INFORMING OF PATIENTS is essential and must be made MANDATORY. I think everyone could agree to that, in the very least of things that need to be done, to stop psychiatric abuse, that government could put some legislation in to make certain that this occurs.


There are documents that have said this pressure on people’s minds/bodies, of quickly withdrawing, has been a factor in many horrific shootings by youth, that have happened in the USA.

Certainly drug/alcohol rehabilitation services are well-studied in how to safely withdraw from other hard drugs.


So, please, see that this, is done. Make it mandatory for psychiatrists to inform people to withdraw slowly, never quickly, and to do so under their supervision, so that tablets are not quartered in a way that is unsafe. I don’t want to see another person harmed unnecessarily by withdrawing too quickly from drugs.

(If you are attempting to do this, ask, remind and let your psychiatrist know why you need to reduce your harmful drug. Do not talk of stopping the drug. Just talk about reducing it. Then they are more likely to give you a prescription of a smaller pill, I’ve found. If they refuse, keep asking, get back up, books, a lawyer, or an understanding friend.)


As an individual please make enough conversation happen to grant MANDATORY HARM REDUCTION INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN, BY ALL PSYCHIATRISTS IN REGARDS TO PSYCHIATRIC DRUG WITHDRAWAL, TO THEIR PATIENTS. And please feel free to write emails to RANZCP and the AMA letting them know why this must be made mandatory.

Negotiating the psych depot

If you are sectioned under the Mental Health Act, then you will be put on the depot injection, for refusing drug treatment, or complaining too much about the drug treatment, or generally seeming like you are not fully brainwashed into thinking you need the drugs to stay out of crisis. 

Contrary to what most people think, you don't just get sectioned just for harming yourself or threatening another, you can also be sectioned because you 'seem to be mentally ill' and therefore in the psychiatrist's mind are 'at risk of harm.'

The depot injection will damage the nerve endings over time, merely because of the needle jabbing action. The neuroleptic drugs? Well they cause your muscles to stiffen and feel restless and twitch, blur your sight so you can't read, shut down your neurotransmitters so you can learn much, or have much of a conversation with anyone etc... What are the drugs supposed to do? Make you manageable like you're some kind of cattle, or rather fruit-fly, that can't be talked to.

You can be forced to take the depot forever. It's horrible. That's when many suicide. They feel like they have no hope of escaping the pain of the psychiatric drugs and no support in the world for the person they want to be.

People are compliant with the long-acting fortnightly jab, because if they don't turn up to get it, they'll be hospitalised, put on higher doses and things will feel even worse.

The whole act looks benign, to many people. But they're not thinking of how this drug harms the person. Those who think it's benign are also not thinking of how the person is denied their opinion, as well as freedom from torturous acts, such as assault in the second degree.

People who pretends to be okay with the depot, are pretending to be okay with something very, very horrible, they really, really don't want happening. Think of the worst crimes committed on a person's body over a long period of time and the psychiatric depot inject is akin to that. Impossible, that feeling of impossible escape from a society that condemns you for thinking outside their range of understood sense, a society that picks on you when you grieve... then sends you to a psychiatrist... a society that should be better.
 
 
Negotiating the psych depot means you have to appear compliant, agree with the psychiatrist, but make well-informed queries into whether the dose could be lowered. Bring along documents that show how high doses can cause the horrible effects you feel. Cite references to psychiatrists who say that lower doses are best. But never, never quote psychiatrists that don't agree with forced drugging.
 
 
Negotiating your way out of the life-sentence depot does mean acting compliant. I've found myself somewhat brain-washed after that process, into thinking I do need to take the tablets to stay within consensual reality, believing that... Plus, last time that happened I also really felt door-matted and it's been a slow process to even get myself to not look like something people have an impulse to kick. I mean, I was thoroughly kicking myself, because I'd had that psychiatrist looking at me all year with a face of disgust, during the horrid 15 minutes I had to spend each fortnight with him. I perpetuated his prejudice of me. I'd had him telling me all the things that was wrong with me, disabling everything I did, belittling my existence, shaming me for speaking out against psychiatry in the past. I had to sit there with him and allow him to beat me up, before I took it in the arse. Anyway, over now. You can get off the depot. It just takes thinking and acting authentically enthused by the drugs ability to 'help' you, but recognition that some 'side-effects' of the neuroleptics mean the psychiatrist is legally mandated to change them or lower them, if you insist enough.

Schizophrenia awareness week



 
I'm a person who has been physically active all my life. I'm a person who is natural on the thin side. I'm a person who likes eating healthy foods. But I am also a person who got diagnosed schizophrenic and was subjected to forced 'medication' regimes over a 14 year period. At first I tried what the psychiatrists said would help me. When I found psychiatric drugs didn't help, rather harmed me to such an extent that I couldn't do physical exercise easily, lost 20 degrees of flexibility, lost my ability to balance, had dizzy spells, was constantly fatigued and even put on weight, I decided that the neuroleptics that the psychiatrists insisted I take were no good for me. I then went off them, recovered my ability to exercise, got back to my normal weight and also recovered my ability to think and read. I didn't receive help for trauma, so then I ended back in psychiatrists hands several more times, after being reported for saying strange things, forced to take their horrific debilitating chemicals again and again.


       Now when the MIFA, wants to blame those diagnosed schizophrenic for being lazy and not exercising, that makes me angry. MIFA's denial of what actually happened to me, a physically fit person, that was harmed by the drugs repeated effect every time I was forced to take them, is horrible. It's like having holocaust deniers in your face all the time, it's like misogynists who want to say things about women not being good at sport, about certain races of people being lazy, or stupid...


       Neuroleptics shorten people’s lives by around 25 years and psychiatrists have the power under my government to keep people, diagnosed with schizophrenia on these drugs forever.


       I was not a hard case. I was open to talking the first time I met a psychiatrist. I closed my mouth and went mute for a year after finding that talking only got me harmed. I could easily have recovered quickly if my government was funding such programs as Voice Dialoguing or Open Dialogue, or even good old person centred one on one art therapy. But my government doesn’t do that, my government forcefully drugs people with harmful chemicals that shorten lives by 25 years, making any years alive on those drugs emotionally and physically painful. They claim this is the ‘least restrictive measure’. They claim to ‘do no harm’. Absolute lies! Then they lie that the effects of the drugs are 'symptoms of schizophrenia'! Those kind of lies can really make a person already questioning reality due to other abuse, to wonder further more what is real and what is not.


       Be aware of propaganda from places like MIFA. I like the idea of physical exercise programs, but get it right, people’s lives are not shorten by voices and other unusual sensory experiences any more than altered states of consciousness. When a person is in a crisis they need to be helped, not battered by drugs and accusations of being a ‘sick mind.’ They need understanding and validation, housing, training, employment, friendly people, rather than damning and disabling psychiatrists and their cronies that tell really upsetting lies.

Awareness is everything button

Also, part 4 of a series on YouTube about how a person can get diagnosed with 'schizophrenia' when their identity and  sexuality is oppressed by their society. How forcing medications that don't help, rather harm, is not okay.
              It is not uncommon to hear voices of what society picks on you about, what society says you can't be, or do, what society says didn't happen. The struggle to be ourselves, when we also need to be what society expects of us, for our own safety and reasons of acceptance, can build into a crisis, where our dreams and nightmares make themselves heard while we are awake. It is the individual's attempt to be heard, as well as society's collective unrest emerging in that person. When society fears conflict, society tries to shut down people who tune into their psyche and speak about it. You have to have a lot of support to be able to gather your thoughts and help society understand that what is not accepted, what it is denied, could actually help society be more than it is.
 
 
Give people awareness. Send them a greeting card. Let them know how 'ripped off' you feel.
 

What's the awareness ribbon for psychiatric abuse?

 
And I don't just mean the findings of the Victorian Mental Illness Awareness Council (VMIAC) revealing '45 per cent of women in the state's psychiatric hospitals have been sexually assaulted in their care.'
 
I mean what Jaana Satu Castella said at a recent talk, that the world will look back on the use of neuroleptics, in the same way people now find the idea of lobotomies horrific.
Jaana works with Open Dialogue techniques in Denmark and Finland. It makes sense to have conversation. It makes sense to understand, to validate and to listen. Humans are not fruit-flies (although David Anderson may think some humans are). And a crisis is often a response to loss, to alienation, to pressure, to change… That is not something that can be healed easily without the cooperation of society. It is so important to be aware of abuse. It is so important never to deny it. Because if your society denies your abuse, then they have aided and abetted the abuse and then not only obstructed justice but concealed facts and that makes  society an Accessory After the Fact. And when that all still remains hidden with no public awareness happening, that makes victims really, really angry.
Yes, I live in Australia, this isn't the place where children are sold off and married, or people are forced to work 2 days non-stop in factories... No, but it is a place where psychiatry abuses ritually, without a qualm.
If everyone else in the world thought neuroleptics were a good treatment for a person in crisis, who'd experienced significant loss, like I had when I was forced to take high doses of these drugs, it still wouldn't be okay. If everyone in the world said, yes neuroleptics really do work and they don't harm at all, it still wouldn't be okay to force them on people. If the world said things like that, which they don't, what happened to me would still not be okay. Psychiatrists don't take into account allergies to their 'medications' unless you are dying from them. They ignore patient discomforts with their treatments. They say like things like, 'you'll get used to it.' That, is really, really bad thinking. But it wasn't just one psychiatrist that said that to me, it was many, many psychiatrists who told me that. So, I can only conclude that they're trained to tell people to get used to things they're allergic to.
Ridiculous that psychiatrists can get away with this abuse, isn't it?
So, I suggest we stop psychiatric abuse. Be aware of what is happening in your country. Do not excuse it. Do not justify it. We are not fruit-flies, we can be communicated with.
And ask yourself... why after 202 years of psychiatric abuse, horrific torturous horrible things that have happen to people, who are not fruit-flies, or criminals, horrific things like lobotomies only last century and chemical and electro-shock lobotomies still happening... yet, psychiatric abuse does not have a ribbon for awareness. Why?
Where, where's our ribbon?

Why would psychiatrists forcefully drug people with intellectual disability?


It’s not as though intellectual disability can be said to be a chemical imbalance… so why give people with ID anti-psychotics and other drugs that claim to adjust that chemical imbalance by blocking and inhibiting the neuro-receptors?

I am met that hard woman’s stare. She was angry at me because I said neuroleptic drugs shouldn’t be forced on people. She works with children who have ID and is adamant that is it necessary in order to manage them. Or what? ‘Of mice and men’ will happen? She’s not even talking about adults! She thinks it’s important to halt the potential people have to develop ability. She wants them to not argue like children and teenagers do. She wants the people she gets paid to help, to sit and be non-resisting to where she and her management wants them to go.

Luckily there’s places like Arts Access...

The term ‘differently abled’ really makes sense when people who have been abused because of their differences are enabled, encouraged and the result is art that really should and needs to exist, or humanity misses out on another vital aspect of its myriad.

‘Managing’ people is never done well under cruel regimes. It is very cruel to shut down a person’s intellectual capacity with neuroleptics, just because that enables you to get your job done quicker. Surely it is not easy on your heart and conscience to realise that you have disabled someone who really would respond better to compassion and encouragement.

No? Still staring at me with those hard nasty eyes of yours? Okay give me your hard mean discrimination stare. Let your ugliness become you. Just don’t expect the rest of humanity to leave your regime uncriticised.

Disable psychiatry now! Don’t let them harm the intellect of any more people! The cruel regime must end! Let rehabilitation take its place. Remember, mental health is about feeling better, not worse!

 

Still puzzling why ‘medications’ that claim to ‘fix’ achemical imbalance or disease in the brain are used on people with ID who don’t have a chemical imbalance to fix? ‘According to some estimates, between 20% and 45% people with ID receive psychotropic medications (Deb & Unwin, 2007a). Of them 14% to 30% are receiving these medications for the management of problem behaviour and not for the treatment of any psychiatric disorder (Deb and Fraser, 1994). Clarke and colleagues (1990) had previously found that 36% of adults with ID who did not have a diagnosis of mental illness were receiving psychotropic medication.’


                And since I’m talking about chemical imbalances, something that isn’t proven, can’t be proven, but has been theorised and turned into a kind of theology in medicine and religion in the lay public, let’s just say: psychiatry really doesn’t make sense except to a sadist. Manage the violence, idiocy and imbalance of psychiatry by getting rid of it. In 2013  the psychiatric torture regime must end. That means no more forced drugging or ECT! That means no more fear of treatment regimes harming you when you seek help to overcome a crisis. That means a better society. Do it, end psychiatry in 2013.
