Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Us First $267 Million Settlement against Acadia Psychiatric Hospitals Apparently Not Enough for Them to Change Their Evil Ways Robert Carter/December 16, 2024      Acadia Healthcare, one of the largest chains of psychiatric hospitals in America, had to shell out over $267 million in criminal and punitive damages for two lawsuits in 2019, but the company now has at least six more similar lawsuits pending.      The first 2019 lawsuit was for “luring patients into its facilities and holding them against their will” in order to increase and extend insurance profits. Acadia paid out $17 million in that suit. The second 2019 lawsuit was for placing a foster child under their care in the home of a man they knew had been “sexually abusing and sexually assaulting foster children placed in his care.” That one cost Acadia $250 million in punitive damages.      The first of these new Acadia lawsuits, filed November 19, 2024, has charges similar to those of that first 2019 case. Apparently Acadia is a slow learneror has enough money not to worry about paying these huge settlements. Indianapolis TV station WRTV reports that a New Whiteland, Indiana, woman, Maria Reagan, has just sued Options Behavioral Health System and its parent company, Acadia Healthcare, alleging she was held against her will and left to clean up another patient’s feces.      She was held there for eight days without ever having seen a psychiatrist in person. Her lawsuit also alleges that she personally witnessed staff denying another patient her required insulin for three days.       On September 22nd this year, Meagan found herself undergoing a mental health episode and went to the emergency room at Community Hospital South. “I was looking forward to going there to get the help that I needed,” said Reagan.      Reagan expected to be there for 72 hours, but instead she was held against her will as a patient for eight days. Options Behavioral Health System staff used threats and intimidation to prevent Reagan from leaving the facility, per her lawsuit. She was only given broken crayons and coloring pages for “help.”       There are currently four other lawsuits that have been filed against Options Behavioral Health System and its parent company Acadia Healthcare. Each alleges that the facility held patients against their will without any medical basis.      Additionally,

Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Us From Bad to Worse: Innocent Connecticut Woman Locked up for Eight Months, Given a False Psychiatric Diagnosis of Schizophrenia Robert Carter/November 10, 2024      A Connecticut woman was arrested and incarcerated in the state’s highest security mental health institution after having insufficient ID to show a motel clerk at the Microtel Inn in Montville. She then refused to identify herself to the police officers the clerk had called.      She is not legally required to do so.      The motel clerk had called the police and said that the woman would not leave the premises and that she had used rude language toward him. When the police arrived, they found her sitting on a bench in the lobby sipping coffee. She refused to give the officers her name or show them any identification and she was arrested, handcuffed, and taken to the station.      Because refusing to identify oneself is not a crime, she was charged here with interfering with an officer and refusing to be fingerprinted. Bond was set at $500.00 and when she could not pay that, she was locked up.      During a number of court appearances she underwent over the next month, she insisted she had done nothing wrong. Nevertheless, Superior Court Judge Jassette A. Henry raised her bail to $50,000. She was then involuntarily committed to the state’s highest security mental health institution, despite the fact she had never shown any impulse to harm herself or anyone else.      She was then diagnosed with schizophrenia because of her “disorganized and tangential thinking that was loose in that it switched from topic to topic irrelevantly and quickly” and her inability to understand her legal situation.      “No, I understand I’m under false arrest,” she said. “I understand I am under false arrest.”      Psychotropic medication was recommended for her. When she resisted taking it, she was taken to probate court by the mental health facility, placed under a conservatorship, and an order was issued for forced involuntary medication.      Eight months later, in June, 2024, newly appointed defense lawyer Michael Brown had a private psychiatric evaluation done on his client. It found her to be competent.      The defense attorney filed a “public interest” appeal. Twenty days later the woman was finally released from custody.      Brown pointed out that “she was never wrong about the core constitutional question

With Him.      By Robert Carter/October 28, 2024      Per the Psych Search website, the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a complaint this August against Psychiatrist Abdollah Assad for having sex with a suicidal patient.      Assad had been treating his thirty-one year old female patient for a history of “anxiety and problematic relationships” according to the complaint. In 2020 the patient was staying in a motel and she contacted Assad and said she had attempted suicide. The psychiatrist did not immediately tell her ““to go to an emergency room, call an ambulance, or call police,” as he legally and ethically was obligated to do.      Instead, he went to her motel, picked her up, and took her to another motel and “engaged in sexual intercourse with her.” The complaint notes that he did this despite being aware of her “troublesome relationships in the past and her obvious fragile state” at that time.      Afterward he continued to prescribe Adderall for her.      Assad is charged with six counts: malpractice; influencing a patient to engage in sexual activity; engaging in sexual activity with a patient; unsafe or unprofessional conduct; terminating medical care without adequate notice to a patient; and violation of patient trust and exploitation of physician and patient relationship for financial or personal gain.      A second complaint was also presented by the Board of Medical Examiners against Assad for improperly prescribing controlled substances to a thirty-three year old male patient in 2019 and 2022.      For that crime Assad is charged with malpractice; failure to complete medical records; terminating medical care without adequate notice to a patient; violation of standards of practice, violations of model policy; and violations of standards of practice established by regulation as well as with unreasonable additional fees for a lab test.      The PsychSearch.net website that this article appeared in recently is a compendium of crimes committed by psychiatrists internationally in their practices based on the public records that are available and the media reports of them. One can search lists on the site by country or, in America, by state.

Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Us Study Shows Funding of Antidepressant Clinical Trials by Pharmaceutical Companies Skews Efficiency Results Robert Carter/October 19, 2024      This month the University of Chicago Press published the results of an Ohio State University study that shows that the source of funding for a clinical trial influences the reported efficacy of the drug being tested. Those trials funded by antidepressant and antipsychotic pharmaceutical manufacturers show their own product on an average to be 49 percent more effective than identically conducted studies funded by independent entities.      “The funding interests of a given drug can explain almost half of the relative efficacy of that drug,” Tamar Oostrom, the author of the study, writes.      Pharmaceutical company sponsored trials for their own products show their drugs are 43 percent more likely to produce statistically significant improvements in the well being of their trial participants, compared to identically run trials sponsored by a research facility other than the manufacturer or its marketing agent.      A full 73 percent of these pharmaceutical manufacturer sponsored trials also show that their drug is more efficient than any competitor’s comparable product. Of course, that then results in greater sales.      How can this occur? It boils down to two main variables in the conduct of the trials. First, a company sponsored trial is one that is much more likely to be published. Therefore, its effect on the market is greater than those unpublished trials that show less beneficial outcomes to trials of the antidepressant’s manufacturer. Those “other” outcomes then remain hidden from the medical industry and from the public in their unpublished obscurity.      In other words, the published trials take on a greater validity merely because they are the ones that are most prominently displayed to the medical and the general public through their appearance in respectable medical journals.      Second, the clinical trial designs for company sponsored and independently sponsored tests can be different, although each is supposedly scientifically based. The length of the trial, the drug’s dosage, and the demographics of the tested population (that is, age, gender, severity of diagnosis, etc.) can be different from sponsored to unsponsored trials and still be scientifically “valid.”      However, the manipulation of those parameters allows sufficient wiggle room for potentially quite different trial outcomes. Oostrom calls his findings the “sponsorship effect.” Per his study, that
