Bookmark and Share Shocking News About Psychiatric Medications and Treatment: A Public Service Announcement

Shocking News About Psychiatric Medications and Treatment was initially intended as an author profile/book review about best selling author and journalist, Judith Warner, and her book, We’ve Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication. In her video interview with National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Director, Tom Insel, Judith Warner describes how her initial perception about children on psychiatric medications (and their parents) changed as a result of the six years she spent investigating the topic for her book.

In the course of writing the article, this writer encountered other articles that had been published recently that presented some misinformation about psychiatric medications and treatments. In the end, Shocking News About Psychiatric Medications and Treatment emerged as a public service announcement that provides reliable sources of information about psychiatric medications and treatments. It provides a social historical perspective on mental health treatment in the United States, current information about ECT or shock treatment, research concerns, some current thinking that suggests that psychiatry is not a legitimate practice of medicine, but a mythological construction by power hungry psychiatrists to gain social control, similar to the way Nazi’s gained control of Germany, and a response to that view.

It is estimated that as many as 20% of the US population could benefit from psychiatric medications and treatment, but only 5% receive treatment. In part, this is due to misinformation that instills a fear that if a person seeks help, they will be locked away against their will. There is still a stigma associated with psychiatric treatment that deters some from seeking treatment. There are many people who don't know they can benefit from treatment.
