Mental Health “Experts” FEAR Secretary Kennedy’s Investigation into Psychiatric Drugging
Republished with permission from AbleChild.
Within a few weeks of Donald Trump’s inauguration, the President signed an Executive Order establishing the Make America Healthy Again Commission (MAHA), which, among other things, will be “assessing the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants and weight-loss drugs.” In other words, officialdom finally is looking at the out-of-control unscientific chemical experimentation used to address unwanted behaviors.
Alert the media! Get Megyn Kelly on the phone! Finally, a governmental body will be looking into the serious risks associated with prescription mind-altering drugs. It’s decades in the making. But, as they say, “better late than never.” It was no surprise then that within a month of that announcement the mental health industry was none too pleased and released a “joint statement” about the wonders of its mind-altering chemical elixirs.
According to the statement, “these drugs provide relief for many young people enabling them to participate fully in treatment, school, social activities, and family life — all key aspects of healthy development.” Utter nonsense.
“Healthy development?” There is no such thing as the decades-long touted “chemical imbalance.” That theory finally got debunked in 2022 research published by Professor Joanna Moncrieff and Dr. Mark Horowitz. So, since it’s clear that people are not “short” on certain brain chemicals as a reason for depression, then why are those chemicals being prescribed as “treatment?” And, make no mistake, lots and lots of Americans are being drugged.
According to data gathered in 2020 by IQVIA (Formerly IMS Health) and made public by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) in January of 2021, nearly 77 million Americans are taking at least one prescription psychiatric drug. The breakdown of who is drugged is jaw dropping crazy. There were more than 85 thousand 0–1-year-olds, nearly 140,000 2–3-year-olds, 215,000 4- to five-year-olds, two-and-a-half million 6–12-year-olds and more than three million 13–17-year-olds taking psychiatric mind-altering drugs every day.
Just for argument sake, let’s get out of our comfort zone and consider the drugging of 0 to 1-year-olds. Just how exactly does that happen? Given that psychiatric diagnosing is completely dependent on answers to questions, how does a three or six-month-old, for example, tell the physician they are depressed? It’s a head scratcher for sure and some would argue criminal, but as of 2020 nearly 8 thousand 0–1-year-olds were on antidepressants. Wouldn’t you have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that diagnosing session?!
Of course, it’s no different when it comes to two to three years olds. As of 2020, a little more than twelve thousand of these toddlers were diagnosed with depression and drugged with antidepressants. It’s mind-numbing to even think about how doctors believe it is helpful for “healthy development” to drug babies and toddlers. How did the doctors know which antidepressant – which chemical – to prescribe and how did the doctors deduce the drugged children were “better?” Didn’t throw their Legos anymore? Stopped crying? It’s ridiculous.
And the lunacy is greatly enhanced when one considers the fraud that first must occur before the prescribing of mind-altering drugs can take place. That’s right. Fraud. Psychiatric diagnosing is not based on science. There is no abnormality in the brain for any psychiatric diagnosis. There is no measurable test that can reveal any psychiatric disorder. No blood test, no scans, nothing. All psychiatric diagnosing is based on lists of behaviors. Are people depressed. Yep. Is it a measurable abnormality in the brain? Nope.
But the mental health industry “joint statement” continues by explaining that “efforts to discourage, stigmatize or curtail the use of evidence-based treatments for mental illness will have serious deleterious consequences.” Notice how the mental health Gurus don’t say “science-based?” It’s “evidence-based,” which means lists of unacceptable behaviors. And as far as “serious deleterious consequences” one really must understand the possible serious adverse side effects of the psychiatric drugs to really understand the possible consequences.
For example, everyone should know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a Black Box warning for suicidality on all antidepressants. Reassuring huh? Give kids a drug that could make them commit suicide and then blame the suicide on the non-scientific mental disorder? That’s what you call a mental health ace in the hole. Couldn’t possibly be the drug! Of course there are other horrific possible side effects that can wreak havoc short of suicide, including the following examples:
Zoloft: emotional lability, aggravated depression, aggressive reaction, aggression, agitation, anxiety, depersonalization, depression, nightmares, mania, hallucination, psychosis, paranoia.
Prozac: insomnia, anxiety, abnormal dreams, agitation, hostility, hypomania, mania, personality disorder, abnormal thinking, depersonalization, paranoid reaction, psychosis, delusions, and hallucinations.
Trazadone: Confusion, mania/hypomania, aggressive reaction, agitation (sometimes exacerbating to delirium), anxiety, cognitive impairment, confusional state, delusions, discontinuation syndrome, hallucinations, hypomania, insomnia, mania, nightmares, restlessness, abnormal dreams, paranoid reaction, psychosis.
The above are possible adverse events associated with the drugs the psychiatric industry believes establishes “healthy development” in kids. Really? If one considers that the number of kids being diagnosed with a mental disorder is up every year, the number of kids being drugged is up every year and the number of suicides and suicide attempts is up every year, then where does “healthy” come in?
And it is ironic that the psychiatric industry is supporting the continued use of psychiatric drugs on kids in light of the recent release of the investigation into the Covenant School shooter, Audrey Hale. Hale had been a psychiatric patient since she was seven years old due to kindergarten anxiety and had been plied with numerous cocktails of mind-altering drugs. Twenty years of drugging and Hale never got better. That “healthy” thing never materialized for Hale.
Or how about we speak about the Massachusetts mother, Lindsay Clancy, who in 2023 was prescribed thirteen mind-altering drugs over a two-month period and killed her kids and tried to commit suicide. Clancy’s purveyors of “healthy” – the psychiatrists – oddly have not been charged in the case. And most recently there is the case of Wyoming mother Tranyelle Harshman who killed her kids and herself after years of mental health “treatment,” including cocktails of mind-altering drugs.
What is really astounding is that when these horrific murder/suicide incidents occur, the psychiatric industry is silent and appears to be protected from liability. The industry screams for the use of the drugs but obtaining the information about what drugs had been prescribed is nearly impossible unless it is offered up by family members or released as part of a court record. Why? If these “treatments” are so “healthy” let the public know what drugs were prescribed at the time of the murderous incidents. Clancy’s prescribed drugs have only been made public because her attorney is using them in her defense. Harshman’s complete drug record has not been released nor has Audrey Hale’s complete, year-by-year, drug regimen been made public. It’s time the psychiatric industry takes some responsibility for the deadly outcomes of their experimental elixirs.
The psychiatric industry can’t have it both ways. It can’t crow about the wonders of the mind-altering drugs, alleging that they are necessary for “healthy development” and then refuse to share the information about the prescribed drugs when a murder/suicide occurs. In fact, why isn’t the psychiatric industry demanding this data for its own research purposes?
If Secretary Kennedy is serious about getting to the bottom of the mental health “crisis” in America, he’ll find a way for psychiatric drug information to be made public in every crime. The psycho pharma industry has, for too long, been allowed to experiment with deadly mind-altering drugs without consideration and intervention. Just saying the drugs “work” is no longer acceptable. Kennedy is demanding to see the science that sells the vaccines and should demand no less with the “science” that determines one in four Americans are mentally ill and drugged daily just to function.
