Why is exhaustion (undiagnosed but caused by sleeping disturbance) treated by antidepressants
20 May 2013
"Marketing of Madness" was reason for much gratitude with me. It confirmed with examples and facts what I had suspected as I saw my husband deteriorate week after week after a misdiagnosis: "Usually when people say they are exhausted, they are actually depressed". This was a shock to us, a huge lie, later proving itself more and more how big a lie. The mistaken diagnosis does not present itself with identical symptoms in all patients, some present with life threatening blood-pressure, etc.

Sinism about hearing the truth does not take away the facts of what is happening round about us. Many people are going through life in subdued "zombi-ness", tranquilized by pills. For example, Exhaustion diagnosed as depression because "usually when people say they are tired they are actually depressed". This is a lie told by doctors to many patients in my experience, making money out of misdiagnoses, destroying people's health.

This is what I saw with my own eyes and heard, long before I had heard about the CCHR or "marketing madness"-ideas. Seeing the DVD just confirmed what I already knew from experience, even without the technical facts. Even GP's are keen to make a quick long-term buck from Rx - not even knowing / realizing they are destroying people's self-respect, their quality of life, their social life, their uniqueness, etc.

We are supposed to be unique. We are supposed to acknowledge our shortcomings and learn how to deal with our own inadequacies like temper etc. Life-skills should be compulsory. Conformity not so. We should learn about God's love for us, He gave us free choice, free pill-choice is not from Him. We have so much to offer each other because we are different. Please let us not box each other into little molds? Watch the DVD right through, and acknowledge to yourself where you recognize the truth.

"Marketing of Madness" is not only informative, it is also a tool to bring the truth across, a persuasive confirmation of "where there is smoke, there is a fire" - in this case, a wild fire killing and debilitating previously healthy people - making whatever complaints they had, so much worse.

Why general physicians and psychiatrists alike prescribe these drugs to the unsuspecting public still beats me, quite a few have not done their homework.. though currently the lie is still overwhelming.
