Psych Observer – Exposing Bad Psychiatry

Nothing more infuriates me then hearing someone harming a child or putting a child at risk for health problems. A child less then 15 years old can’t speak or defend for themselves when it comes to medical decisions by their parents. A friend of mine, Jane Alexander, explained on her Youtube videos about how you can get out of a psychiatric hospital in a legal and rational fashion. She explains the habeas corpus act, an act where you can legally request court intervention appeal and have your time in court to prove to yourself that you’re not insane and that you don’t belong in the psychiatric hospital to the judge.

Obviously you can’t go in there cursing like a sailer and demanding to get released because it will not happen.

I was reading an article that I’m about to show to you below. This Psychiatrist named Thomas M. Peterson was accused of improperly prescribing medication to his 2 children patients. The medications that he was improperly prescribing were anti-psychotics. Go to my The Dangers of taking antipsychotics article to find out how dangerous Anti-Psychotics are. I can only speculate that the Anti-Psychotics that Tomas M. Peterson was giving these children were the prescription medication Risperdal, a now approved medication by the FDA to give to children.

He had his medical license taken away and now the state board of medical examiners are reinstating his medical license for some obvious reason.

A Belleville psychiatrist received a 30-month prison sentence today after he admitted to defrauding Medicare out of $1.755 million.

Ajit Trikha, 55, pleaded guilty to two counts of health care fraud in June by overbilling Medicare, billing for services that weren’t performed and exceeding number of patients allowed in group therapy sessions.

Trikha pleaded guilty in June.

Today, U.S. District Chief Judge David Herndon sentenced Trikha to 30 months in federal prison and ordered him to repay the Medicare program $1.755 million.

London, April 1: An Indian psychiatrist, who was found guilty of conducting unethical drug tests on mentally-ill patients and of lying about his qualifications, has been struck off the medical register in Britain, meaning he will not be able to practise medicine in the country.

Forty-two-year-old Tonmoy Sharma, who trained as a doctor in Dibrugarh in Assam, has been working in Britain since 1996. He was a former clinical lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College, University of London, and a principal investigator undertaking research studies. The General Medical Council’s fitness to practice panel found him guilty of “serious failings of personal integrity” after it was revealed that he had recruited mentally ill patients to test drugs without seeking approval.

The panel, after a 10-month hearing where Dr Sharma argued for himself, decided to strike off the psychiatrist from the medical register for serious professional misconduct.

Dr Sharma worked as a consultant psychiatrist for the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and recruited patients in Kent and parts of the capital for the research. His position at the institute helped him to secure funding, said to be almost £1 million, from five drug companies. Most of the money was channelled through a company that he had set up called Psychmed.
