This would be very very funny if it were not so tragic. I wonder what drug

they give you for the nose-picking??????? Maybe Zyprexa, or one of the other

chemical lobotomy formulas. LOL

Worldcom, Xerox, and Enron stole money from peoples pockets, but at least they

left people's brains alone. I wish we could say that for the drug companies.

" Happy People " are certifiably insane as well, because

they are out of tune with reality-they simply do not see the ugliness

of the world

So if you're happy, you're crazy. And if you're not happy, you're

depressed and should be on pozac. Don't these guys know life is a

dynamic ever changing thing. Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm not.

Years ago, I heard that psychiatrists were, as a group, the ones who were in the

most need of mental health care.

Somehow, we have forgotten this and now find ourselves listening to thier

madness.

CCHR: The Quakery of Mandated Mental Health Parity

U.S. Newswire

18 Jun 13:28

CCHR: The Quackery Of Labels: Mandated Mental Health Parity;

Coverage from Peanut Butter Phobia to Nose-Picking

National Desk, Health Reporter

Contact: Marla Filidei of CCHR, 800-869-2247

LOS ANGELES, June 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is

commentary by Jan Eastgate, president, Citizens Commission on Human Rights

International:

Today, mankind is at a watershed of scientific endeavor.

Geneticists unlock the human genome. Astronomers map planets in distant

solar systems. The Internet brings the world instantly to everyone's

doorstep. And what have psychiatry and psychology brought us? Psychologists

say they can now diagnose your mental state by...the color of your car:

" Owners of pastel colored cars

such as lilac, lime and beige are eight times more likely to have suffered

depression than people driving blue or silver ones. "

Psychiatrists have labeled everything as a mental illness from nose picking

(Rhinotillexomania) to altruism, lottery and playing with " action dolls. "

Happy people are certifiably insane. Psychiatrist , says,

" Happy people are out of tune with reality-they simply do not see the

ugliness of the world

around them or they wouldn't go through life with such a naively cheery

attitude. "

While mental difficulties do exist, psychiatrists would have you believe

that insurance should be mandated to cover treatment of all 374 mental

disorders in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders

(DSM-IV) at a cost of more than $23 billion to

taxpayers over the next 10 years. With DSM-V and mandated mental health

parity both on the horizon, those costs will skyrocket out of control.

Psychiatrists market the spurious idea that DSM disorders such as spelling,

written expression and mathematics disorders, caffeine withdrawal, and

" Phase of Life Problem " are as legitimate as cancer and diabetes. By

lobbying heavily for the political enforcement of these diagnoses through

mandated mental health parity, psychiatry ensures that millions of lives

conform to its yardstick for " treatment. "

Although these " disorders " could be considered laughable, if mandated mental

health parity passes, it's psychiatry who will be doing the laughing-all the

way to the bank. None of the disorders can be medically proven. According to

the Washington Times' Insight Magazine, " If there is no way to prove that a

single psychiatric mental illness exists in life or death, how does one

diagnose something that doesn't exist and then require insurance companies

to pay for it? "

This is diagnostic fraud. And like virtually all fraud, money is involved.

Big money. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) publishes the DSM. In

1993, sales of DSM grossed the APA more than $22 million. DSM-IV sales were

estimated at $40 million, while DSM-V is predicted to reap $80 million. Add

" parity " to the mix and the profits will be even higher as more and more

practitioners grab for this billing bible to make a buck.

Consider these " disorders " that could make it into DSMV:

One in eight people apparently despair at choosing a dinner menu and suffer

" Kitchen Performance Anxiety. " Eat peanut butter and you may experience

Arichibutryophobia -- the fear of peanut butter

sticking to the roof of your mouth.

This comes at a time when DSM is under increasing attack for its lack of

scientific veracity. Professors Herb Kutchins and Stuart A. Kirk, authors of

Making Us Crazy, found that DSM as a clinical tool is " unreliable and

therefore of questionable validity as a classification system. "

Dr. Dorman, a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada,

says, " In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of

'disease,' formalizing them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing

diagnostic codes to them,

which in turn leads to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an

extended racket furnishing psychiatry a pseudo-scientific aura. The

perpetrators are, of course, feeding at the public trough. "

Enormous pressure is being brought to bear on politicians by psychiatry's

alarmist statements and statistics about the state of mental health in our

nation. However, parity is not a problem of battling stigma against or

providing desperately needed services

for the mentally ill, or even of disparity between physical and mental

medicine. Parity is simply an initiative by psychiatrists to achieve

enhanced prestige, power, diagnostic influence and

ultimately monetary reward for psychiatrists. This underlying agenda and

immense costs of this initiative are being buried in rhetoric that is

artfully designed to play on the sympathies of concerned politicians.

CCHR was established by the Church of Scientology in 1969 to investigate

psychiatric human rights abuses and has helped reform more than 100 laws

internationally that protect the mentally ill.

Dear Suzy,

I've heard that too. the first shrink I went to was totally mentally

ill - as it turns out he was taking street drugs, which I found out

later. I was naive and pregnant at the time and when I told him, he

took me to his house, showed me his spare bedroom and said he would

fix it up for me and the baby and take care of us. He took me out to

dinner and this was the weirdest dinner I have ever been to. He

ordered tons of stuff off the menu - more than 2 people could ever

eat - and this was a really expensive restaurant. He way over-tipped

the waiter. When I dropped him off at his house I could not wait to

get away from him, he jumped on the hood of my car and was bouncing

up and down like a monkey. Needless to say I never went back to

him. He disappeared off the face of the earth as far as I know. My

old boss was his neighbor a few years before that and recommended

that I see this guy. Apparently my old boss didn't know that this

shrink had lost his marbles since they had lost touch when the shrink

had moved out of that neighborhood.

lol!

(ps. I had a miscarriage)
