Psychiatric abuse – follow the money back to the drug companies

Even the New York Times gets it right occasionally. Some enterprising reporter there has not yet received their indoctrination that psychiatrists can do no wrong.

“Bonkers Institute” is not so bonkers

I respect what one fed-up citizen named Ben Hansen (aka M. I Bonkers) is doing to bring some humor to his exposés of various psychiatric abuses in the state of Michigan. Documents he obtained under the Freedom of Information Action (FOIA) show alarming increases in psychiatric drug use and drug-induced movement disorders in children under […]
