I just read about an initiative called the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health which will make psychiatric screening mandatory for all children under the age of 18.
Basically, under the initiative, all school-age children will be forced to undergo regular psychiatric screening and to take psychiatric drugs at the discretion of a prescriber. If the parents refuse to administer said drugs, the government will charge them with child neglect take their children into "protective" custody.
There is also a movement to extend the program to adults- if you refuse to submit to screening or drugs, they could have you committed to a mental hospital!
Not surprisingly, the initiative is funded by the same pharmaceutical giants who sell the expensive products designated as the "first lines" of treatment for mental disorders.
This scares the living shit out of me. What scares me even more is that there isn't massive public opposition to this evil, depraved policy. It appears to me that the drug companies are trying to desensitize the public to psychiatric intervention- which many people intuitively averse to. They want to make psychiatric treatment so common that nobody will question it and everyone will just shut up and take their meds.
The drug companies finance this initiatve under the guise of concern for America's mental health- they just want to make treatment more accessable, so they say. Yet many of these companies are currently facing multiple class-action lawsuits for hundres of million of dollars because they knowingly witheld from the public information about the dangers of their products. These firms knew their products would kill people, and they knew that they would face lawsuits as a result. They rushed their dangerous products to the market anyway because they knew thier profits would exceed their losses.
Do these sound like companies who really care about your well-being?
