Det kanske räcker för dig att konstatera att det är gastronomiska summor inblandade. Jag sökte lite på internet nyss och jag är inte ensam om mina åsikter om psykiatrin och medicinering, det finns hur många böcker som helst skrivna från en kritisk utgångspunkt vilket gjorde mig lite glad. Hittade en sida med bara sånna böcker,
http://www.outlookcities.com/psych/. Fanns även artiklar om medicineringen i amerika. Blir att gå till bibblan imorgon!
Hittade en bok som heter The myth of mental illness, skriven av en Thomas S. Szasz.
Står så här om boken: Thomas S. Szasz, M.D. demonstrates that what is nowadays accepted as mental illness is whatever psychiatrists say it is-and that psychiatry has-with increasing zeal, defined more and more kinds of behavior as "mental illness." What is termed "mental illness" is in fact behavior disapproved of by the speaker. This is a stigmatizing moral judgment, not a medical diagnosis.
If there is no mental illness, there can be no "treatment" or "cure" for it. When personal problems are seen for what they are-helplessness and fear, envy and rage, and the many other miseries that beset man-and are not masked under the guise of illness, being "mentally ill" ceases to be a refuge from personal accountability, and the individual's responsibility for his own conduct can then be faced.
"It is customary to define psychiatry as a medical specialty concerned with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness. This is a worthless and misleading definition. Mental illness is a myth. Psychiatrists are not concerned with mental illnesses and their treatments. In actual practice they deal with personal, social, and ethical problems in living."
Och en annan bok, som lät väldigt intressant; They say you're crazy:
"How are decisions made about who is normal? Why are people being given psychiatric drugs such as ssri's, prozac, paxil, zoloft, luvox, effexor, serzone, anafranil, fenfluramine, fen-phen and redux? As a former consultant to those who construct the "bible of the mental health professions," the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), Paula Caplan, Ph.D., offers an insider's look at the process by which decisions about abnormality are made. A longtime specialist in teaching and writing about research methods, Caplan assesses the astonishing extent to which scientific methods and evidence are disregarded as the DSM is developed and revised.
The DSM is the guide that most psychiatrists, therapists, and social workers use to determine not only what care will be covered by insurers, but who will be hospitalized against their will and who may be judged incompetent or too disturbed to rear their own children. On a more day-to-day level, the DSM determines how millions of people feel about themselves once they are labeled psychologically "abnormal." And yet this powerful manual, recently released in its fourth edition, is constructed by a tiny clique in the powerful psychiatric establishment, dominated by conservative white males.
In They Say You're Crazy, Paula Caplan demonstrated that much of what are labeled "mental disorders" are actually common life problems or the effects of social injustice-and not signs of illness.
"Paula Caplan has written a lively, marvelous insider's story of how psychiatric diagnoses are invented-how subjective, political, and personal agendas are dressed up in the lab coats of science and offered to the public as 'truth'. Mental health professionals need to read this book to cure themselves of Delusional Scientific Diagnosing Disorder, and the public needs to read it for self protection."
