Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 " mental disorders " (ADHD, Bi-Polar, Social Anxiety Disorder) are not medical diseases or illnesses. This is a fraud. No child has a brain scan, blood test, X-Ray or any evidence of physical abnormality to verify they are " ill " or " diseased. " Yet psychiatrists continue to pound the public with misleading and fraudulent statements that these so called mental disorders are biochemical or neurological conditions. That is false. They are simply a list of behaviors that psychiatrists vote into existence and insert into their billing bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This has led to over 8 million children in the U.S. taking mind-altering psychiatric drugs. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), is psychiatry's billing bible of " disorders " from which psychiatric screening, diagnoses and their treatment are derived. The current edition lists 374 psychiatric conditions that have been identified as mental disorders. Yet, the disorders contained in the DSM-IV are arrived at by consensus, not by scientific criteria. There are no blood tests, brain scans, X-Rays, MRIs or " chemical imbalance " tests that can scientifically validate any mental " disorder " as a disease or illness. Canadian psychologist Tana Dineen reports, " Unlike medical diagnoses that convey a probable cause, appropriate treatment and likely prognosis, the disorders listed in DSM-IV are terms arrived at through peer consensus " - literally, a vote by APA committee members.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Nefazodone HCl Oral Tablet 100 mg GENERIC NAME NEFAZODONE - ORAL (neh-FAZZ-oh-doan) COMMON BRAND NAME(S) Serzone WARNING Nefazodone rarely may cause serious (potentially fatal) liver disease. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop: dark urine, extreme fatigue, persistent loss of appetite, stomach pain, yellowing eyes/skin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have a history of liver problems or abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) before taking this medicine. Your doctor may perform laboratory tests (e.g., liver function) to monitor your progress. If your doctor stops your nefazodone treatment because of liver problems/abnormal liver tests, you should not take this drug again. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details ....................... I believe this is an SSRI and if it is and can cause liver damage the end result will not be good for anyone. I always have to ask why the patient was prescribed the " medication " and were they better off then than they are now? Violence is a very real threat even if he has been on the drug for 14 years.
