Medication Nation

Mr. President and Staff,

I would like to know if you plan to address the epidemic of problems within our nations mental health and pharmaceutical industries?

Within the last 50 years psychiatric pharmaceutical drugs have worked their way into every crevice of our social system, they are daily prescribed to children, adolescents, adults and seniors and in many cases cause long term and irrevocable harm. This trend in treating physical and mental illness through the exclusive use of pharmaceuticals has cost Medicare, State government health care and the private sector including individuals trillions of dollars.

When will someone finally speak out on this madness?

I run a grass roots advocacy website to inform the public about the dangers of psychiatric drugs and the abuses of modern psychiatric treatments.

It is no secret that the history of psychiatry has been host to some of our nations more horrific human rights violations and injustice. But do you know that it is still used by law enforcement and the medical community in this way?

Many individuals in my town, Sacramento, California, wander the streets homeless and mentally ill because the care they might receive for their illness is tantamount to abuse more so than “care".

In one county near our city mentally ill individuals who also suffer physical illness, who receive disability and have homes receive no intervention when they are on the edge of the abyss of insanity, because the infrastructure set up for treatment is a archaic beast of wards, cold metal beds and dangerous over crowding. Sexual assaults, physical abuse and over drugging to the point of death are common.

We don’t live in a communist dictatorship, this is not a third world country. When will our healthcare industry reflect that status of civilization?
