Psychiatry: No Science, No Cures
Transcript of video
Dr. Fred Baughman, Jr. – “Psychiatry in all of this time, doesn’t have one case report of one disease validated. Not one! What they do is they meet at the American Psychiatric Association, they meet in the DSM committee (Diagnostics Statistical Manual committe) and they vote on making new behavioral and emotional disorders, and then they start immediately calling them diseases! And they tell people, they tell the public these are diseases. Total fraud. Total fraud. ”
Dr. Thomas Szasz – “The actual truth about ‘chemical balance’ is that it is an actual lie. Nobody has yet measured, demonstrated or created a test to show that somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain, period.”
Dr. Grace Jackson – “What the American public should be thinking about is when they or their loved ones or their friends have received a psychiatric diagnosis they should be asking the doc ‘geez doc, where’s the chemical test for that, where is the objective test for this’ and I guarantee you that they’ll be told, ‘ah… we don’t have a chemical test for that’.
Are there any medical or scientific tests for psychiatric "disorders"?
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “There are no biological tests for any mental illnesses that I am aware of.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 –“There are not current available tests to verify your diagnosis.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 –“There is no test there is no specific test to differentiate between let’s say, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. Not a single test.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “We have no.. not really confirmatory test for the diagnosis.
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “There is no test there is no biopsy you can do that says this person is depressed, this person is dipolar.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “ We don’t have anything really currently to identify mental illness per se.
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “No there are no specific tests to confirm the diagnosis or show the improvement like any blood test or x-rays or anything like that.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “In my practice I don’t do any tests I just speak with people and listen to them and then I make a decision on what kind of illness it should be.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 –“We don’t have… we don’t really have any specific blood tests or other tests that are definitive for any mental illness whatsoever.”
Interviewer – “What kind of biological tests do we have available today for detecting mental illnesses?”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention 2006 – “None. (laugh)”
Dr. Grace Jackson – “There is no rational science behind what they think is the cause of these symptoms. The medications that are being given to people are without exception introducing chemicals that are altering the brain in ways which can be very damaging. And I’ll go a step further and say that in the absence of proven chemical imbalance for which the medications are quote ‘rebalancing’ or 'refixing', the medications are in fact toxic.”
Can psychiatry cure patients?
“How many patients have you been able to cure?”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention, 2006 – “(laugh) I would say ‘one’. (laugh)”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention, 2006 – “how many people have I cured? Well, ah there are no real cures right now in psychiatry.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention, 2006 – “(laugh), ha, uh… the idea of… you ask me about the issue about how many people I’ve cured. I don’t know that any of us are ever completely cured of anything.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention, 2006 – “I... have not been able to cure many patients.”
Psychiatrist, APA Convention, 2006 – “I have cured none of my patients”
Psychiatrists admit that there are no medical tests that can prove anyone has a "mental illness".
Psychiatrists admit they can not cure their patients.
Yet, insurance in the U.S. alone pays out $69 billion in mental health costs annually.
And international psychiatric drug sales have reached $76 billion per year.
Dr. Thomas Szasz – “So you have to ask the classical Roman question, legal question, que bono, ‘who benefits?’
"The people who make the diagnosis.”
