Psychiatry rarely, if at all, promotes what it considers success following ‘treatment.’ Psychiatry does however continually advertise its failures in a brazen attempt to secure more Government funding.
Shrewd investors look to the overall value of something being produced in a given industry or profession. Considering the revolving door of the mental health system, it’s an industry dogged by recall due to the faulty and damaging nature of the procedures and the prescribing habits that go on in the psychiatrist’s consulting room or inside the walls of psychiatric facilities.
An observation of this in action relates to depression. The use of antidepressants, commonly prescribed for depression, are increasing year on year. Depression however is reported to be getting worse. This would suggest the drugs don’t work. They may chemically mask mental difficulties, giving the appearance of being demonstrably effective. However, when taken away, or when the person decides to stop or withdraw, the person is left with the same mental wound that was there when the drugs were prescribed.
Another observation relates to psychosis. Psychiatric drugs commonly prescribed for people experiencing psychosis can create a condition called akathisia, a restlessness which can be characterised by violence, aggression and even suicide. The psychiatric drugs can exacerbate and create more illness.
To add insult to injury, psychiatrists claim this is part and parcel of the so-called mental illness, and prescribe further psychiatric ‘treatment’ as the answer. It’s another example of the revolving mental illness door that keeps people sick.
Psychiatrists are making people into patients for life. Just as physical health would be the outcome of effective physical healing, so would mental health have to be the outcome of effective mental healing.
The harsh reality however of any comparison between physical and mental healing breaks down when contrasting the results of physical healing to the results of what passes for mental treatment today. Based on those results, psychiatry would have gone financially bankrupt a long time ago if it weren’t for public funds to prop it up. As for moral bankruptcy; that happened a long time ago.
Despite this, the Royal College of Psychiatrists continues in its pursuit of what it calls ‘parity of esteem,’ defined as ‘valuing mental health equally with physical health.’ Based on results, this is never going to happen. Leading psychiatric agencies such as the World Psychiatric Association admit psychiatrists don’t know the causes or cures for any mental disorder or what their ‘treatments’ specifically do to the patient. It’s an expensive lottery.
The bottom line is this; if psychiatry ever cured a person of their mental difficulties, it would go out of business. It’s therefore up to the many discerning taxpayers to recognise this psychiatric charade and call for the diversion of funds towards real medicine which treats the actual cause of an illness rather than drugging symptoms that perpetuates a profit-driven agenda.
