Should we be concerned about millions of high school and college students experimenting with marijuana? Dr. Peter Breggin sheds some much-needed light on marijuana and its effects on the brain and mind, and how the mind is altered, but not for the better.

Some think that electroshock treatments were something that psychiatrists performed in the past and eventually stopped performing, like with lobotomy. But the grotesquely barbaric practice of electroshock is still alive and well and it needs to be banned.

Millions of children are receiving psychiatric drugs in order to control them and in order for the drug industry and psychiatry to profit from them. Tremendous harm is being inflicted on these children. This insane drugging of children needs to be banned.

ADHD drugging of children may benefit teachers, but there are zero true benefits for the child, either short-term or long-term, and there are plenty of harmful effects on the brain, on the heart, on growth, and on the long-term outcomes of these children.

Just because a child is more manageable in a classroom after taking an ADHD drug doesn’t mean that the child has been helped. The teacher might be helped by the drug, but the child isn’t. ADHD drugs crush spontaneous behavior and cause obsessive behavior.

Psychiatric drugs are much worse than people have been led to believe. They have harmful effects on the brain and mind and are often extremely hard to stop taking. Severe health problems and shortened lifespans often result from the use of these drugs.

When a patient is suicidally depressed, the last thing that person needs is an antidepressant for the simple reason that these SSRI drugs increase the risk that a person will commit suicide. Health and hope must be restored to that person by other means.

Dr. Peter Breggin has never started anyone on a psychiatric drug. Instead, he helps people find real answers by getting to the root of their problems, which are often psychological and spiritual in nature, and have nothing to do with a chemical imbalance.

People often fail to recognize the harmful effects a psychotropic substance may be having on them due to the impaired judgement produced by the drug. Dr. Peter Breggin calls this medication spellbinding, and it applies especially to the psychiatric drugs.

Psychiatric drugs and all other psychotropic drugs interfere with normal brain functioning and cause the brain to function in an abnormal manner. That’s how all these drugs work, by disabling and impairing the brain and by altering the mind for the worse.
