Why do some of us become dissident mental health professionals?
The majority of psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals “go along to get along” and maintain a status quo that includes drug company corruption, pseudoscientific research and a “standard of care” that is routinely damaging and occasionally kills young children. If that sounds hyperbolic, then you probably have not heard of Rebecca Riley, and how the highest levels of psychiatry described her treatment as “appropriate and within responsible professional standards.”

1. Corruption by Big Pharma
How did it become within responsible professional standards for a two-year-old to get an ADHD diagnosis, for a three-year-old to get a bipolar diagnosis, and for toddlers to be prescribed multiple heavily sedating drugs? The short answer is drug company corruption of the mental health profession.

I've seen adults who couldn't handle Seroquel and Depakote. A 4-year-old should never have it !!!!
The mental health profession is something of a joke for me. They appear to be trying to streamline patients into specific behavioral patterns with little or no respect for individuality. It must have never occurred to anyone in Rebecca's life that the true problems were the influences around her.
