More evidence that the mental health system is broken
My book "Broken: How the broken mental health care system leads to broken lives and broken hearts" was motivated by my younger son's accidental prescription drug overdose. Both anecdotal and research data on mental health practitioners' overdependance on drugs are presented. Additional data reveals how Big Pharma often "fudges" test results to make the drugs appear more efficacious and less dangerous than they are. The falsification of mental health research doesn't stop there.
A research study in the August 20 edition of the "Journal of Clinical Epidemiology" analyzed clinical trials of psychotherapy. The journal article reveals that a staggering 94% of the clinical trials studied "spun" the results, making the treatments appear more helpful than they were.
Remember these words: “Parents, families, and caregivers are a 'minority' group in the mental health system. This population is hungry for knowledge, direction, and peace of mind. The first step toward these things is embracing truth about our 'fallen' mental health system” ― Tamara Hill, MS,

As my perfect little boy grew to manhood, he became increasingly troubled. For years, he met with doctors, therapists, psychiatrists and was given ever-changing diagnoses. Along with each diagnosis came another prescription. In January 2015, he died of an accidental drug overdose. Trying to deal with that lead to my attempting suicide and being incarcerated in a mental hospital. My book "Broken: How the Broken Mental Health System Leads to Broken Lives and Broken Hearts" and this blog are attempts to prevent other people from suffering as we did.
