A Guide for Law Enforcement Investigators and anyone concerned about violence in society — in school, in the workplace, at home.
St. Louis, MO –-(Ammoland.com)- The Citizens Commission on Human Rights of St. Louis, Inc. would like to provide you with the attached document that is part of our Seminar, “Recognizing psychiatric Fraud and Abuse.”
Acts of criminal violence have been with us since time immemorial but what we have been witnessing over the last couple of decades staggers the mind and assaults the senses.
The fact missed by most is that psychiatric, mind-altering drugs have been found to be the common factor in an overwhelming number of these acts of random senseless violence.
The scientific research documenting the connection between violence, suicide and psychiatric drugs is overwhelming.
The FDA has issued several warnings on psychotropic drugs, cautioning that persons prescribed the drugs must be monitored for increased suicidal ideation and worsening depression.
For example, according to information from the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 106,000 Americans were hospitalized in 2002 for overdosing on their psychiatric drugs. 63 percent of these people were suicides or attempted suicides. The trend is apparently continuing into the present.
Between 1965 and 2001 in the U.S., drug abuse for children and adolescents soared more than 2,900%, in part fueled by the general availability of psychiatric drugs. Very few people recognize that illegal drugs represent only part of today’s drug problem.
During the last 40 to 50 years there have been major world-wide changes in our reliance on addictive, prescription psychiatric drugs. Addiction to psychiatric drugs now rivals illegal drug addiction as the number one drug problem in many parts of the world.
As more and more prescriptions are being written for psychiatric drugs, more and more children are abusing these drugs. For example, the rate of ADHD medication abuse for 13-19 year olds was up 76 percent from 1998 to 2005. Illegally buying and using prescription medications to help them study, college students prefer drugs-of-choice Adderall and Ritalin to help them stay awake longer.
Methylphenidate (Ritalin) is a psychomotor stimulant structurally and pharmacologically related to the amphetamines. Studies and case reports indicate that methylphenidate has the same dependence profile as other Schedule II stimulants. Like other Schedule II stimulants, abuse of methylphenidate can lead to tolerance and severe psychological dependence. Psychotic episodes, violent behavior and bizarre mannerisms have been reported. Intravenous and intranasal abuse can result in serious medical complications.
In the U.S. today, more than 8 million children have been put on mind-altering psychiatric drugs. These drugs can only chemically mask problems and symptoms; they cannot and never will be able to solve problems.
Psychiatric drugs and treatments do create violence and the sooner we recognize this and do something about it, the sooner these kinds of killings will stop.
Drugging millions of Americans with psychiatry’s mind-altering drugs has become one of the most dangerous and insidious situations facing American life — the corresponding increase in acts of violence are terrorizing our society.
Note also that a major part of the treatment for prison inmates (used less for rehabilitation than for managing and disciplining inmates) is a regimen of powerful psychiatric drugs, despite numerous studies showing that aggression and violence are tied to their use.
The bottom line: Check for psychiatric treatment and psychiatric drugs (prior or current use, or withdrawal from) in all cases of senseless violence.
