Anatomy Of An Epidemic * by Robert Whitaker, 13 pages in length

Suicides and Psychiatric Drugs by Janne Larsson, 14 pages in length

Mr Whitaker concludes with:

A century ago, fewer than two people per 1,000 were considered to be"disabled" by mental illness and in need of hospitalisation. By 1955, that number had jumped to 3.38 people per 1,000, and during the past 50 years, a period when psychiatric drugs have been the cornerstone of care, the disability rate has climbed steadily, and has now reached around 20 people per 1,000. (Table 2). As with any epidemic, one would suspect that an outside agent of some type-a virus, a bacterial infection, or an environmental toxin was causing this rise in illness. That is indeed the case here. There is an outside agent fueling this epidemic of mental illness, only it is to be found in the medicine cabinet. Psychiatric drugs perturb normal neurotransmitter function, and while that perturbation may curb symptoms over a short term, over the long run it increases the likelihood that a person will become chronically ill, or ill with new and more severe symptoms. A review of the scientific literature shows quite clearly that it is our drug-based paradigm of care that is fueling this modem-day plague.

From 2 to 20 is a 1000% Increase.

From Chapter 14 (pg 13) of Larsson's Report

The officials at the National Board of Health and Welfare know that the psychiatric drugs can induce suicidality or increased suicidality (especially in the beginning, when doses are increased/lowered, when other drugs are added, or during the withdrawal phase). They are aware about the now accepted serious harmful drug effect akathisia as an underlying cause in cases of suicide and violence against others. They know that serious physical and mental conditions can be caused by the use of several psychiatric drugs at the same time and, as written before, the “adequate drug treatment” among the persons committing suicide was on the average four different psychiatric drugs the preceding year. There is in the material submitted to the Board about the treatment an abundance of evidence that harmful effects induced by the drugs are seen as even more “symptoms” – and that these harmful effects are then handled with even more drugs, with a fatal outcome.

But the psychiatric drugs are not challenged. No questions are asked about their role in the subsequent suicides. And the very reason for this is that old myths about the protective effect of antidepressants and neuroleptics against suicide – directly taken from the false marketing material of the pharmaceutical companies – still govern the activities at the top of the National Board of Health and Welfare.

The paradigm of Psychiatric 'Care' is to Misinterpret the Direct, Behavioral Toxicity which Psychiatric Drugs CAUSE in a person as evidence that the person is Ill-er than even the Ideate Peddling the Toxic Drugs had known, ...... in order to Profitably Sell their Victim even More of the Toxic Drug which Caused the Person's Behavior to Deteriorate in the First Place.

at Psychiatric Times: Dr. Jay Pomerantz offers downloadable forms to score the Damage that Antipsychotics inflict.

"The original publication of the AIMS is often cited as: Guy W. ECDEU Assessment Manual for Psychopharmacology, Rockville, MD, US Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 1976."

AIMS and the Damage Psychiatry records with it is nothing "unknown" to The Industry which the FDA is Supposed to be overseeing. Nor is AIMS unknown to the US Dept of Health, Education, and Welfare, ..... SINCE 1976:

33 YEARS ago. BUT:

From FDA, 30 years later:

"The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown."

10/06/2006: pg 13

"There is no known treatment for established cases of tardive dyskinesia, although the syndrome may remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is withdrawn. Antipsychotic treatment, itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome and thereby may possibly mask the underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown. (since 1976)

Associated With Discontinuation of Treatment

"Suicide attempt was associated with discontinuation in 1.2% of RISPERDAL®-treated patients compared to 0.6% of placebo patients, but, given the almost 40-fold greater exposure time in RISPERDAL® compared to placebo patients, it is unlikely that suicide attempt is a RISPERDAL®-related adverse event (see PRECAUTIONS)"

A 100% Increase?

Page 38:

Physical and Psychological Dependence

RISPERDAL® has not been systematically studied in animals or humans for its potential for abuse, tolerance, or physical dependence.

But out of the blue is a 100% Increase in Suicidal Behavior upon Discontinuation. Ohhh-K.

Pediatric Use

The safety and effectiveness of RISPERDAL® in pediatric patients with schizophrenia have not been established.

1 FDA Year Later:

08/22/2007: Patient Population Alerted Label

Page 30

8.4 Pediatric Use

"The efficacy and safety of RISPERDAL® in the treatment of schizophrenia were demonstrated in 417 adolescents, aged 13 – 17 years, in two short-term (6 and 8 weeks, respectively) double- blind controlled trials"

Page 27

6.9 Postmarketing Experience

"Other adverse events reported since market introduction, which were temporally related to RISPERDAL® but not necessarily causally related, include the following: pancreatitis, pituitary adenoma, pulmonary embolism, precocious puberty, cardiopulmonary arrest, and sudden death."

That is one Fascinating Interpretation of the word "Safety" in Any language.

* The Drug epidemic begins in 1955 w/3.38 per 1000. Note that Mr Whitaker's work was published in Spring of 2005. The percentage may be above 1000% today, in 2009.
