“Stop telling those diagnosed
with schizophrenia that they suffer from too much [chemical] activity and that
the drugs put these brain chemicals back into ‘balance.’ That whole spiel is
a form of medical fraud, and it is impossible to imagine any other group of
patients—ill, say, with cancer or cardiovascular disease—being deceived in this
way.”
— Robert Whitaker Author, Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine,
and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill, 2002
