Inside closed doors of mental hospitals

I’ve found this inspiring video on YouTube, and it personally hit a home run. It reminded me back when I was imprisoned in the psychiatric hospital, and that their was no way that I would be able to be released unless if I do everything that the “doctor” or nurse tells me. I was subject to take dangerous drugs, and if I refuse I get more time added on my stay; they thought that I was being too drastic, and because of my assertive behavior I needed more stay in the hospital, even know that I didn’t truly wanted to be there in the first place. They used “more time” as a weapon rather than treatment.

Channel 7 News Fox WSVN-TV distastefully promotes drug research company for children

On September 14th 2008 roughly around 5:23PM EST I was watching my local news, Channel 7 News Fox WSVN-TV, when a subject called “Defeat Depression” came to my interests. It showed an obese teenager named David Harvey playing a wrestling game at the beginning of the report and then it continues on as it shows him and his mother, Jeri Jashnoff, playing a cardboard game, sorry! (ironically). To make the story run short it explains that David’s mother losing her job in real estate from the bad economy and how worry some the teenager becomes after finding out that he can no longer get what he wants anymore because of the tight budget. Because his mother couldn’t afford the dangerous psychotropic drugs from her job lost she took him to a research facility called Segal Institute For Clinical Research where people get paid to become guinea pigs and take experimental drugs that hasn’t yet been approved by the FDA.

Richard Lemus interviewed the atrocious Psychiatrist, Dr. Scott Segal the owner of the Segal Institute for Clinical Research and has said:

Dr. Scott Segal, Psychiatrist, Segal Institute for Clinical Research: “It’s definitely making adults depressed, and therefore the children depressed, as well. However, they have less money to spend on treatments, and these days insurance companies have higher co-payments and it’s very difficult for people to come in.”

Even scarier, it’s hard for patients or their families to pay for the medications they so desperately need.

Dr. Scott Segal: “They get their visits and their evaluations and whatever is needed in the study for free, as well as medications. In fact, in research studies, the treatment is above the normal level of care.”

Patients will often try out new drugs that aren’t on the market yet and many times they can stay on that medication after the study is over.

Dr. Scott Segal: “In many studies, after the study is over, the pharmaceutical company will give them a compassionate care and allow them take the medications for a period of time.”

David is on a new medication and sees a doctor weekly. He and his mom have high hopes for the future.

What Richard Lemus and the Channel 7 News Fox WSVN-TV fail to revel to the public is that theirs other ways to defeat depression without the usage of the dangerous drugs. It’s called proper diet, exercise and proper outdoor activities like going to the beach or going to a park. In the whole segment of the story reported by Richard Lemus nowhere did it mention natural ways to deal with depression.

The Grand Forks psychiatrist and some ranting

Administrator — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 04:29:15 +0000

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.

Bismarck, N. D. (AP) The state Board of Medical Examiners has reinstated the medical license of a Grand Forks psychiatrist accused of improperly prescribing medication to children.

Thomas M. Peterson’s license was reinstated on Wednesday. The board had restricted his license last month after he improperly prescribed anti-psychotic medication to two children.

The board says Peterson has since completed a course at Harvard on child and adolescent pharmacology. His license will remain on probation for three years.

The medical board also placed Lois Freisleben-Cook on probation for three years for improperly prescribing medication. The board ordered the Williston doctor to complete courses in pharmacology, ethics and record-keeping.

Desperation Poem

Heres a poem that I wrote not that long ago.

I'm a novice when it comes to writing poems so please don't judge! I'm still learning to write good poems

Here we go

My soul was hurting deep inside

But nobody seemed to care

I wanted someones support

and I got none

When I showed desperation

All I got was imprisonment

Locked up like a criminal

with almost no rights

I was diagnosed as being crazy

by the so called professionals

I guess I could trust them

because they're doctors

They gave me a pill that's

suppose to keep me well

All I got was fake reality

with the numbing sensation

I'm tired I'm tired I'm tired

I'm tired of my soul being hurt

I'm tired of people viewing me differently
