		<description><![CDATA[Are you comfortable knowing that the medications your doctors prescribe for you may be influenced by what they hear at a lecture or seminar weekend from a pharmaceutical company paid speaker instead of your doctor&#8217;s own research and critical reading of the testing results of that drug? Well, apparently, that is what is happening in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;and rightfully so. Ted Scouten, reporter for the local news in Fort Lauderdale, FL, CBS4, is getting concerns about Dr. Punjwani, the prescriber of multi-drugs to 7 year old Gabriel Myers before his self-hanging suicide. Another family steps forward to tell their story of their son, Emilio Villamar. Emilio was only 16 years old when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At least according to the National Institute of Mental Health. That means 57.7 million people are &#8220;suffering&#8221; from a diagnosable mental &#8220;disorder&#8221; in any given year. They claim, per their statistics, that 6% of these are suffering from a &#8220;serious&#8221; mental illness. To further put that in perspective, my mother had 4 boys. One of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By now you have heard of the story of Gabriel Myers, 7 year old foster child in the Florida DCF placement home who committed suicide. He was obviously over-medicated with psychotropics and being given anti-psychotics when it&#8217;s not indicated. He had no evidence of schizophrenia. But according to one of the many psychiatrist, Dr. Punjwani, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CBS News reports a trend in parents foregoing the routine and sometimes mandatory vaccination of their children. Mothers are citing their &#8221; mistrust of the government, a mistrust of the pharmaceutical companies, and mistrust of the big blanket thing that says this is what everybody has to do&#8221;. More and more parents are saying &#8220;no&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article by psychiatrist Dr. David Kaiser in the Psychiatric Times gives us a glimpse of the chasm that continues to widen between biological psychiatry and more humanistic psychiatry. It&#8217;s one thing for those of us outside the profession of psychiatry and psychology to point our fingers and say &#8220;something&#8217;s wrong&#8221;, but it can not be [...]]]></description>

She writes that &#8220;Nurses shouldn&#8217;t rely on these drugs for residents with dementia&#8221;. With black box warnings about early death and the multiple side effects of psychotropics, we have to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found a disturbing report from Janne Larsson, investigative jounalist in Sweden. In 2005, the agencies reporting on unnatural deaths and suicide included parameters to detect what causation could be traced to psychiatric drugs. The results are both alarming and telling. 1255 people committed suicide in 2006 from their report. 71% of women and 48% [...]]]></description>
