American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: Another PHARMA STORE FRONT


This Business of Medical Work License Buyers being Exempt from having to wear their Own Psychiatric Stench has been bugging us, ...... since it's 100%, Stone Cold ILLEGAL.

When Doctors Kill Themselves.
"So why aren't depressed docs seeking treatment for a common illness that millions of Americans have learned to manage with therapy and readily available medications? Because they worry—not without reason—that if they admit to a mental-health problem they could lose respect, referrals, income and even their licenses." .....
"One way to address physician suicide, says Reynolds, is to focus on medical students and residents, since depression often starts in young adulthood. Medical schools across the country have launched programs that, among other things, guarantee students who seek help that it will not appear on their records. , .....

....., "If we teach doctors to recognize depression in themselves," says Dr. Paula Clayton, the foundation's medical director, "they will recognize it in their patients." And then everybody will feel better."

So we googled the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to find out just who Owned them, and Lo and Behold;

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International had already BTDT.

American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)

"The AFSP was started in 1987. Columbia University psychiatrist David Shaffer, inventor of the disgraced TeenScreen program, is a past president of and currently sits on the board of directors of ASFP. GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Solvay Pharmaceuticals and Johnson & Johnson have members on AFSP’s board.[1]

Charles Nemeroff—under Senate investigation for his undisclosed $1.2 million earned from Pharma—has served on the AFSP’s national board of directors since 1999 and has “been a member of the Foundation’s Scientific Council for more than 10 years.” He was chair of the Council in 2007 and then elected president in January 2008.[2]

Eli Lilly’s first quarter grant report for 2009 shows it funds AFSP.[3]

The AFSP’s own 2008 Annual Report shows a grant of $100,000 from the Lilly Foundation. It also lists grants of between $50,000 and $99,999, from antidepressant makers, Lilly, Pfizer and Wyeth, between $25,000 and $49,999 from Forest Labs, and between $10,000 and $24,000 from Solvay.[4]

Solvay has provided at least $1.2 million in the AFSP’s effort to build up a $5 million research fund and Pfizer has contributed funding for surveys. Some of Shaffer’s suicide surveys are made financially possible through an educational grant from Pfizer.[5]

GSK and Janssen Pharmaceutical have all also funded different conferences held by AFSP.[6]

So, go on over to CCHR if you want the source material/footnotes they've numbered in brackets, and more, because CCHR Knows this Industry forward and backward.


And the Efficacy of All of these drugs Is?

Throwing Billions Down A Psych Drug Rat Hole (while trying to Condemn and Addict 50% of college age young people to them as 'Incurably Mentally Ill'.)

And the Science of that avaricious, junk science drug deal Is?


"Dr. Allen Frances, psychiatry professor emeritus and former chairman of psychiatry, Duke University who chaired the DSM-IV Task Force revision --i.e., psychiatry's diagnositic / practice manual," ...... says;
“there is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bullshit.” .....
And the Publishers of Psychiatric, ...... ahhhm, ...... Whatever you want to call it, Say?


And even Without the drugs, just the reprogramming/brainwashing psych-babble Is?



Since Physician Diversion Programs which Rehabilitate/Cure Doctors from Incurable, APA Mental Illnesses cannot Lawfully exist/operate under Section 1 of the 14th Amendment: (so long as Any Physician is Diagnosing/Inflicting those non-science Incurables on other people)

We have to ask just What Dr. Paula Clayton thinks she's peddling.

Is it simply more Bullshit?

Or does she really believe that the rest of the world is Stupid enough to believe that She, and her American Foundation for Suicide Prevention are ALL, Personally, Individually, just too Stupid to even Be Doctors themselves, ..... rather than a pack of Pharmaceutically Bought & Paid For FRAUDS?

And while we've got the F word up and running, even the American Psychiatric Association ADMITS that's it's 'Treating' issues which are NOT 'Mental Illnesses'.

DSM Code: V71.01

This category can be used when the focus of clinical attention is adult antisocial behavior that is not due to a mental disorder (e.g, Conduct Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, or an Impulse Control Disorder), Examples include the behavior of some professional thieves, racketeers, or dealers in illegal substances.


Racketeers?

When Somebody finds Hypocrisy coded as an official Incurable Mental Disorder, ..... let us know.
