RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Mental health hospitals
must be established to replace coercive psychiatric institutions. These must have
medical diagnostic equipment, which non-psychiatric medical doctors can use to
thoroughly examine and test for all underlying physical problems that may be manifesting
as disturbed behavior. Government and private funds should be channeled into this
rather than into abusive psychiatric institutions and programs that have proven
not to work.
2. Establish rights for
patients and their insurance companies to receive refunds for mental health
treatment which did not achieve the promised result or improvement, or which
resulted in proven harm to the individual, thereby ensuring that responsibility
lies with the individual practitioner and psychiatric facility rather than the
government or its agencies.
3. Clinical and financial
audits must be done of all government-run and private psychiatric facilities
that receive government subsidies or insurance payments to ensure accountability
and the compilation of statistics on admissions, treatment and deaths, without
breaching patient confidentiality.
4. Establish or increase
the number of psychiatric fraud investigation units to recover funds that are
embezzled in the mental health system.
5. All mental disorders
in the DSM should be validated by scientific, physical evidence. Government,
criminal, educational, judicial and other social agencies should not rely on
the DSM/ICD-10 mental disorders section and no legislation should use
this as a basis for determining the mental state, competency, educational standard
or rights of any individual.
6. Abolish mental health
courts and mandated community mental health treatment.
7. The pernicious influence
of psychiatry has wreaked havoc throughout society, especially in hospitals,
educational systems and prisons. Citizens groups and responsible government
officials should work together to expose and abolish psychiatry�s hidden
manipulation of society.
