When a person hurts or damages another they usually apologise & try to make good any damage. When psychiatrists torture a person with #ECT & cause brain damage, they consider the person treatment-resistant or blame the person's mental troubles rather than admit criminal assault.

Labels, labels, labels and more labels have been and continue to be part of an odious psychiatric marketing campaign. The labels, which are generally referred to as "disorders," are subjective opinions that categorise a person's behaviour and or their emotions. They are voted…

The sign of a good doctor; several studies show that those diagnosed with a "mental illness" were actually suffering from a physical condition. Real doctors, those who chose specialties other than psychiatry, find and treat those conditions. #Psychiatrists however continue to…

Psychiatry convinces or deceives people into accepting treatment. One of the most impressive deceptions was the 'chemical imbalance of the brain', used for decades to prescribe #antidepressants. The deception lasted until 2022, when the chemical imbalance theory was exposed as…

For decades, #psychiatrists have been working to convince the public that psychiatric drugs are indispensable to the problems of everyday living. This however is propaganda. Psychiatrists have a long list of failures associated with their "work". Whether it's #antidepressants,…

Members of the public regularly comment that they don't think #ECT is still being used. They have the idea it's no longer being used due to its inhumanity and barbarity. For the record, it's still being used in over 100 ECT "clinics" in the UK where people are being shocked on…

Antipsychotics are also known as neuroleptics (meaning nerve-seizing), major tranquillisers, anti-schizophrenia drugs and chemical straitjackets. All antipsychotic drugs can cause akathisia (a word derived from a, without; kathisia, sitting; an inability to keep still).…

Whether it's voluntary or involuntary, psychiatrists are causing iatrogenic harm when using psychiatric drugs and when using #ECT on their patients. But rather than offer an apology or accept responsibility for the harm they inflict - such as akathisia caused by mind-altering…

Putting mind-altering psychiatric drugs into the body disrupts the normal biochemistry. Whether the "treatment" is voluntary or involuntary, the side effects of these prescribed drugs can sometimes be more pronounced than their intended effects. The side effects are in fact,…

Psychiatrists induce a generalised seizure, often referred to as a "grand mal" seizure, when they #electroshock a patient. Yes, inducing a seizure is their expressed intention when shocking a patient. When the patient receives multiple #ECT "treatments", the seizure threshold…

Inflicting brain damage with #ECT and brazenly promoting the damage as therapeutic "treatment" is a justification used by psychiatrists to mitigate the offence being committed. The most surprising aspect of this damage in plain sight is the fact they've been able to get away…

When psychiatrists recommend #ECT as "treatment", patients are not given the opportunity to make an informed decision and thus cannot give informed consent. Why not? It's because Patient Information Leaflets don't include an explanation of how brain damage is being inflicted…

"Of the 19 authors of the antidepressant withdrawal study, 11 have received funding or benefits from pharmaceutical companies in the form of advisory board, consultancy or speaker fees or research funding." thecanary.co/global/world-a…

Multiple catastrophic psychiatric failures resulting in the deaths of patients in mental health units in Essex have been under the spotlight as a result of the Lampard Inquiry. It's not tens or hundreds of deaths in mental units in Essex, but thousands of inpatient deaths.…

Over the decades, it's become clear that psychiatrists don't understand why people suffer mental distress. If they did understand the difficulties that people experience, they wouldn't continue their guessing game about what's wrong with a patient. More importantly, if they…

Psychiatric diagnoses are diagnoses by confession. The emotional states of people are evaluated on the basis of what they say and/or what they do. This means there are no objective biological markers to establish the presence of any mental "disorders" so the "science" is purely…

Psychiatry is a human rights abuse. When patients are attempting to give informed consent before being shocked by a psychiatrist using #ECT, the information they are given should include that the procedure can cause strokes, brain damage, memory loss and even death. But…

The drugging of elderly people is not the only legacy of psychiatric interference in the care of senior citizens. Indiscriminate use of violent restraints and electroshock, also known as #ECT, on the elderly is also responsible for needless suffering. While psychiatrists openly…

What is the sense of prescribing a senior citizen a traquilliser that is more lethal and harder to withdraw from than heroin, one that leads to a 45% increase in the risk of having a car accident within seven days of taking it? Why give them an #antidepressant that could…

The Lampard Inquiry reconvened in London today. It's an inquiry investigating the deaths of thousands of inpatients in Essex mental units. Yes, that's thousands of inpatients. In situations like this, lamenting psychiatric narratives consistently call for more Government…

In medicine, a condition is only labelled a disease after it has met strict standards: you have to isolate a predictable group of symptoms, be able to locate the cause of the symptoms or see how they function. This must all be proven and established by a physical test such as a…
