/24-7PressRelease/ - VANCOUVER, CANADA - May 11, 2007 - The Citizens Commission on Human Rights is protesting what is being called "mental health week", calling it merely another avenue for psychiatrists to procure more individuals to label and drug for profit.
To demonstrate the unscientific and profit driven motive for any mental health screening, the CCHR has released a riveting video documentary which exposes the psychiatric industry as a pseudo-science and a fraud.
The video which was made available worldwide recently, has now been sent, as a public service, to all members of the British Columbia Legislative Assembly in an attempt to focus their attention on the real damage caused by psychiatric practices and to influence them to reconsider any thoughts of funding the industry in the future. It has also been sent to members of the B.C law Society and various other legal professionals.
Through rare historical and contemporary footage and interviews with more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators, survivors and experts on the mental health industry and its abuses, the riveting documentary 'Psychiatry An Industry of Death' blazes the bright light of truth on the brutal pseudo science and the multibillion dollar fraud that is psychiatry.
Leading psychiatric agencies such as the World Psychiatric Association, Canadian Psychiatric Association and U.S. National Institute of Mental Health admit that psychiatrists do not know the causes or cures for any problem with the mind or what their "treatments" specifically do to the patient. They have only theories and conflicting opinions about the diagnoses and methods, and are lacking any scientific basis for these. As a past president of the World Psychiatric Association stated, "The time when psychiatrists considered that they could cure the mentally ill is gone. In the future, the mentally ill have to learn to live with their illness."
One prevailing psychiatric theory (key to psychotropic drug sales) is that problems of the mind result from a chemical imbalance in the brain. As with its other theories, there is no biological or other evidence to prove this. Representative of a large group of medical and biochemistry experts, Elliot Valenstein, Ph.D., author of Blaming the Brain says: "There are no tests available for assessing the chemical status of a living person's brain."
Brian Beaumont, president of the Vancouver chapter of CCHR says "People do experience problems and upsets in life that may result in mental troubles, sometimes very serious. But to represent that these troubles are caused by incurable "brain diseases" that can only be alleviated with dangerous pills is dishonest, harmful and often deadly. Such drugs are often more potent than a narcotic and capable of driving one to violence or suicide. They mask the real cause of problems in life and debilitate the individual and thereby deny him or her opportunity for real recovery and hope for the future."
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights, and to clean up the field of mental healing.
Today, it has more than 130 chapters in over 31 countries. Its board of advisors, called Commissioners, includes doctors, lawyers, educators, artists, business professionals, and civil and human rights representatives.
While it doesn't provide medical or legal advice, it works closely with and supports medical doctors and medical practice. A key CCHR focus is psychiatry's fraudulent use of subjective "diagnoses" that lack any scientific or medical merit, but which are used to reap financial benefits in the billions, from Medical Services Plans and ultimately taxpayers. Based on these false diagnoses, psychiatrists justify and prescribe life-damaging treatments, including mind-altering drugs, which mask a person's underlying difficulties and prevent his or her recovery.
