Product Description

Few would argue that people suffer from mental illness, mental breakdowns, depression or any number of adjectives that describe behaviors that adversely, even severely, affect people's lives. In law it is said that "it doesn't matter what one believes, only what one can prove." The same can be said for psychiatric diagnosing. It matters little what anyone in the medical/psychiatric community "believe" is the cause(s) of mental illness. The question that has not been answered is whether tens of millions of Americans who have been diagnosed with any one or number of psychiatric mental disorders suffer from a mental "disease" - an objective, confirmable abnormality of the brain. What is known is that neither the American Psychiatric Association nor the National Institute of Mental Health, nor any other medical organization, is capable today of making available scientific evidence to prove that any psychiatric disorder is an objective, confirmable abnormality of the brain. This mantra is repeated throughout the book because it is the point of the book. That people are suffering isn't in question. Whether they actually suffer from a psychiatric disorder that is a known objective, confirmable abnormality of the brain is in question because selling mental disorders as "disease," such as the theoretical chemical imbalance, has become the norm in the medical/psycho pharmaceutical Community and it is blatantly false. The People, if given the truth, can take it. The decision to accept the psychiatric diagnosis and seek treatment with psychiatric mind-altering drugs may be no different, but at least the decision will be based on all the truth, the objective confirmable scientific evidence, not theories, wishful thinking, deceptive advertising and misleading advocacy group, pharmaceutical company and government-sponsored information campaigns.

Customer Reviews

This is a Scientology book
Beware this book. There are a few good points to be made regarding the over prescribing of drugs, their dangers, the silliness in DSM, and how the psychiatric community should be doing more to clean up its act.

However, this book by O'meara is straight out of Scientology. The author hammers home her point that there is absolutely no "chemical imbalance" in the brain that exists (for anybody), and that no "chemical imbalance" can be measured nor should it be treated - including serious mental illness such as schizophrenia.

If you doubt the Scientology connection and philosophy, skip to Chapter 8 and her defense of Tom Cruise.

FRIGHTENING BUT TRUE
EVERY Parent and DOCTOR NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. AMAZING RESEARCH, WRITTEN FROM THE HEART.

A must read!!!
Omeara has gathered a fabulous body of evidence that would definitely convict the pseudo-science of psychiatry. Her style is incisive, and her research is impressive. Her expose of the American Psychiatric Association, the FDA, the pharmaceutical companies, and psychiatry in general delivers a stake in the heart to this corrupt trio that has been manipulating the public and preying on their vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, The FDA has become lapdog for the pharmaceutical companies instead of a watchdog, since the passing of the PDUFA Act that has enabled them to receive money ($500,000 worth per drug) from the pharmaceutical companies to have the medication rapidly approved. They are in cahoots with these global corporations and the APA, in a concerted effort to pathologize everyone, medicalize behavior, and sell a $3.00 pill for a consumeristic society seeking immediate gratification and looking for a fast fix. The American Psychiatric Association has created a bogus consensual manual, the DSM that promotes alleged mental illnesses, which fit the armament of medications available on the market. Many of the consultants and designers of this manual are on the payroll of the pharmaceutical companies (according to a recent and elaborate study in the journal of psychotherapy and pychosomatics). This fraud has engendered billions of dollars in profits for the corporations involved as well as for the APA and the field of psychiatry.
From personal experience, I know that the senate and congress will never take any action against these culprits that have caused thousands of death as a result of their pseudo-diagnosis and their pseudo-treatment with deadly medications, due to the continuous large contributions provided by these organizations toward their political campaigns.
The practice of psychiatry is truly shameful! These alleged doctors have forgotten their oath "to do no harm" to their patients and replaced it with fancy cars and big mansions.
This book will provide the reader with an electrifying reading, and hopefully will mobilize the public to take action and to write letters to their congressmen and senators to curtail the prevalent corruption of the APA and the pharmaceutical companies.
