Marketing of Madness

New Additons to DSM-V are sinister. The group of psychiatrists with strong ties with the psychopharmacology industry continues to "invent" more psychiatric disorders and subtypes, such as "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" (ODD) that's for anyone with a clear, analytical mind, and their own opinion, those who are defiant of authority!!!

"Antisocial Personality Disorder" that is for someone who is difficult, spiteful, mean, manipulative or a prick, yep, that too.

When your kid throws a tantrum, he is not just throwing a tantrum, he is suffering from "Temper Dysregulation Disorder with Dysphoria." There is now a "Pediatric Bipolar Disorder."

If you think about sex too often, you don't have a high healthy libido related to high testosterone, you are suffering from "Hypersexual Disorder."

Essentially, characteristics of personalities are now being turned into psychiatric disorders.

Considering side effects - Lucrative and assured income for the pharmaceutical companies.

The Wall Street Journal reports $10 billion in profits in 2009, for pharmaceutical companies selling psychotropics in the US. At this rate, it will double by end of fiscal year 2010.

Incidentally, the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) lifted the ban on pilots taking psychotropics. Some pilots will be granted waivers whist taking Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, Zoloft and generics. http://tinyurl.com/ybn6rnc

Hum, Welcome Aboard ....

Incidentally, those who suffer from serious addictions to psychotropics, are no longer suffering from addiction. This has now been altered to a "chemical dependency." Sounds nicer. This is clever marketing ploy, making the lure of psychotropics even more attractive.

Hide your grief, or you will be labelled as being "depressive", don't be shy now, you will be labelled with "Social Anxiety Disorder", apprehension is now "Anxiety" etc..

Not labeled yet, worry not, there is a new label which might suit you, it is called the "Psychosis Risk Syndrome", for those who are strong indviduals, slightly eccentric, strong opinions. This will apply regardless of the fact, that you are NOT psychotic, delusional, or hearing voices. This new label is an extension to "Schizophrenia" mainly to identify those who are at risks of becoming "schizophrenic."

Are we so disconnected that the only way to "connect" and "belong" is by discussing which "mental illness" we suffer from (as if belonging to a special club) and which are the most effective psychotropics, how to dodge inter dosage withdrawal symptoms? It never fails to irritate me when I hear someone who is basically capricious, manipulative, high/low intensities of emotions, lacking in self control and social skills, proudly announce they suffer from "bi-polar" disorder!!! They then perpetuate this behavior by acting out what is conceived as being "bi-polar."

Wake up, Stop being fooled about brain chemical imbalances, there is NO scientific evidence to support this.

Read up and research about psychiatric labels and anti-depressants.

What you will find instead - a strong lobby of psychiatrists, conflict of interest, skewed research, scandals involving drugging of children, disgraced and corrupt psychiatrists linked with politics, coercion, compliance, submission, and greed.

We live in a dysfunctional society, there is no doubt that in order to survive, we all need to be slightly dysfunctional - nothing more ......
