Patients are not getting the promised results after taking prescribed medication from the range of drugs now commonly known as antidepressants.  Not only are the benefits in question, but also the growing categories of ‘side effects’ that follow a course of these drugs. ‘Antidepressants’ is a misnomer – these drugs can actually cause depression and intensify than the original symptoms for which the medication was prescribed. One clinical trial of the drug Halcion, for instance, resulted in 70% of people trialed, experienced memory loss, depression and paranoia.

However, in spite of the emerging proof of the dangers of these psychiatric drugs and their potential to effect mind changing behavior negatively, even to a point of suicide, most doctors continue to claim that by far the most prescriptions they make out in their practice are for antidepressants for adults, and increasingly Ritalin for ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children.  Where once our social concern focused upon the dangers of hallucinatory drugs, mind drugs have now become big business, regardless of the damage they cause the brain.

Doctors who once trustingly followed the claims of the pharmaceutical industry are now disenchanted with toxic chemical drugs.  There is a move by some professors in psychiatry to ban their use in the U.S. as has already been done in some other countries where dedicated psychiatrists are inclined to explore the older methods or seek safer, more natural, alternative methods of treatment. The increasing threat of litigation from patients seeking compensation may serve to motivate this.

It is reasonable that compulsory medication of any kind erodes the rights of the mature individual to have freedom of choice. When it becomes mandatory, as now exists in America and other similar health systems, for children to be issued medical drugs, with or without parental consent, there is obvious danger. The public must recognize the evils that are advancing to steal our freedoms by stealth. One of these is the right of parents to be responsible for the health of their children. No government agency or legislation should be able to pervert this natural principle or usurp this role.

By making increased effort to build our general health, through nutrition, exercising, practicing relaxation, meditation , reducing any pollutants in our psyche and importantly, improving our respiration and oxygen intake, we are likely to be able to better help ourselves.
