Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Psych Crimes – Exposing Psychiatry New Written Informed Consent Bill for Veterans Prescribed Psych Drugs in Congress to Stem Skyrocketing Military Suicide Rate Robert Carter/August 12, 2025 US Representatives Gus Bilirakis, Jack Bergman, Keith Self, and others have just introduced their Written Informed Consent Act that requires signed informed consent forms by any military being told they should be prescribed  psychiatric drugs. The  prescribing physician would be mandated to go over the “side-effects’ of each drug as listed in its FDA Black Box warning, especially those warnings regarding  increased risk of suicide. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news: why they are doing this. Although the Veterans Administration spent over $16 billion in 2024 on mental health, including $559 million on suicide prevention alone, 6500 veterans have died by suicide every year since 2015. 155,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001. That’s more than twenty times the number of American soldiers (7000) who have died since 2001 in the ongoing international war on terror. Horribly enough, coincident with the steadily rising suicide rate of American veterans – it’s four times higher than the suicide rate for civilians of the same age group – the Veterans Administration has been spending far more money on psychotropic and pain medications for our soldiers. From 2001 to 2009 alone, the Defense Logistics Agency spent $1.1 billion on common psychiatric drugs and pain medications. Recent Veterans Administration studies have shown that as many as thirty percent of the soldiers who have been prescribed these medications have not been given proper informed consent protocol before taking the medication. That means they have not been educated on the Black Box risks of suicidal thoughts and behavior, especially among those in the age group of most soldiers. It’s been 25 years since the FDA mandated the Black Box warnings on SSRI’s and other psychotropic drugs to state the increased risks of suicide, both while taking them and after trying to withdraw from them. Certainly our soldiers should be fully informed of this. There’s one more piece of bad news here. Since 2000 the suicide rate for the general American population has risen by 37 percent, per the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Just as in the military, anti-depressant use – especially long term anti-depressant use – has also risen considerably during that same time period. It’s hard to avoid noticing the coincidence of rising suicide rates

Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Us We’re Innocent until Proven Guilty, but Not Sane until Proven Nuts: Psychiatric Incarceration Too Easily Violates One’s Legal Rights Robert Carter/July 2, 2025 In a tale sounding like a bad B flick plot, Florida resident Demoree Hadley ended up in two psychiatric institutions for fourteen days because of false accusations from her mother about her mental health. Florida psychiatrist Daniel Bober acted on them immediately, rather than investigate their truth. Hadley has now filed a conspiracy lawsuit for which she has body cam evidence of, among other things, local deputies claiming to be a “mobile crisis unit” as they coerce her into the back of a pickup truck. They then  hauled her off to Memorial Regional Hospital in  Hollywood Florida for a mental health evaluation after a doctor signed the paperwork saying she was a danger to herself. That put her under the rules of Florida’s Baker Act, a law similar to those in other states which allow forced psychiatric  incarceration if one is deemed a danger to oneself or others. Demoree’s mother had falsely reported to authorities that her daughter was suicidal and had been abusing prescription drugs. Her incarceration was based solely on her mother’s and the psychiatrist’s opinions, not on any actual facts. At the hospital a drug test was given Demoree and it showed her free of any drugs or medication. She herself said she had never been or acted suicidal, but psychiatrist Boben chose to believe the mother’s false report rather than Demoree’s own statements. He ordered her to undergo an evaluation for the next thirty-eight hours and then diagnosed her with “unspecified psychosis.” At that point Demoree’s mother, CEO of Rok Nation, petitioned to have Demoree transferred to the nearby Life Skills psychiatric treatment center. Court documents show that her mother had again claimed Demoree suffered from “severe drug abuse,” and the court judge granted the petition, even though Demoree had just tested clean for any drug use. Dr. Bober is the medical director at the Life Skills facility, but he claimed he played no part in the decision to have her transferred there. She was then held there for almost two weeks against her will. Demoree requested a hair follicle drug test after she arrived at Life Skills, and it showed she had had no  drugs or medication in her system for

Executives Accused of $100 Million Adderall Fraud Michigan Psych Patients Committed Involuntarily for Medicaid Profits Contact Us Control, Not Cure: Randy Cima’s New Book Exposes the History of Force in Psychiatry Robert Carter/April 9, 2025       Dr. Randy Cima has just published The Zombie Theory, a concise, but thorough history of the use of force — physical and chemical – as psychiatry’s preferred method of controlling the “mad.”      Psychiatry’s tools of insulin shock, lobotomy and electroshock therapy to handle the “mad” are late links on the historical chain of man’s misguided attempts to handle the troubled. Thousands of years before Christ, holes were bored in the skulls of those who were dangerously abnormal in order to release the “bad energy” or demon spirits that were making them crazy.      Even if they were not cured, the reasoning went, they at least were no longer suffering. Throughout history other equally brutal physical practices evolved in an attempt to at least quiet, if not cure, the mad. In the Middle Ages, flogging, bloodletting, and forced vomiting were used to “beat insanity out of the body,” as Cima notes in his April 4th blog on the Mad in America website.      As cities expanded their populations after the Renaissance, the problem of the “mad” became more apparent on urban streets. They could no longer be housed in a relative’s basement or attic, hidden from public view as a social eyesore. However, once the threat of leprosy had declined, the large physical institutions built to incarcerate lepers away from public exposure became available. Cima describes how these vacant compounds were then used to remove the “mad” from the streets.      Suddenly there were enough asylums available to house these unfortunate souls. By the mid-19 th century the earliest medical doctors – then known as alienists – became the in-house caretakers of this involuntarily incarcerated population. “But their role wasn’t to cure. It was to control,” writes Cima.        The Zombie Theory goes on to chronicle the horrific procedures psychiatrists developed in the 20th century to “beat insanity out of the body.” At first the “mad” had their teeth pulled, their ovaries excised, and their colons resected , because madness stemmed from bodily infections, it was postulated. Then even more brutal psychiatric treatments were devised to beat the madness out of the body — the lobotomy and ECT, for example.      Cima notes that the aftereffects of these horrific treatments were too politically incorrect

She’ll be in charge of Pfizer’s regulatory, pharmaco-vigilance, and drug safety operations for a reported salary of $500,000 per year, excluding bonuses.      She’s just resigned from her position as the Food and Drug Administration as the head of their Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. It has 5,000 employees and a budget exceeding $1 billion. While serving in that role, she was the highest paid employee of the FDA, earning $400,000 per year.      There were no bonuses for her there, unless you take into account the junkets and advisory positions she was rewarded with during her FDA tenure. Her net worth today is estimated between $6 and $17 million.      Prior to the FDA position, she was also employed by Pfizer in a series of vice president positions. In one of them she advised on a lawsuit alleging that Pfizer downplayed the risks of birth defects associated with the depression drug Zoloft. Pfizer settled that suit for $2.3 billion, which included a record breaking criminal fine of $1.3 billion.      Before Pfizer, she was a director of surveillance and epidemiology at Eli Lilly, and there too she helped with a lawsuit, this one over their antipsychotic drug Zyprexa. Lilly ended up paying out $500 million to settle those lawsuits.      Before that Cavazzoni was an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa and published numerous academic and industry articles on, of all things, antipsychotic medications. She’d originally earned her medical degree as a  psychiatrist from McGill University.      Cavazzoni resigned from the FDA in January this year, just before Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took office as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, which regulates the FDA. She was not alone in jumping the lucrative FDA ship, given Kennedy’s accusation that the FDA has been too influenced by Big Pharma interests. He noted that nearly two-thirds of the FDA’s funding comes from the pharmaceutical companies it regulates, and he often has pointed at the inappropriate “revolving door” of employment between pharmaceutical companies and government health agencies.      Back

Osteoporosis causes bones to become brittle and weak because the body is losing bone mass faster than it is building it. Often the first indicator of osteoporosis is a bone fracture in the wrist, spine or hip.      White, post-menopausal women do have a risk for osteoporosis generally, but this recent Qatar University study showed that if any woman takes antidepressants, she has a 44% greater risk of developing osteoporosis and a 62% greater risk of bone fractures. Women who take two antidepressants have a 78% risk of osteoporosis and those who take three have a scary 141% risk.      The Qatar research studied the statistics of over 30,000 women over a two decade period, 1999-2020. Participants’ records contained complete osteoporosis or bone mineral density data and complete prescription medication data, as well as data on other life variables.      The use of antidepressants by adult women in the U.S. increased in this same two decade period between 1999 and 2020. The study showed the greatly increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures for women was true regardless of the antidepressant they were taking. The study also showed that for each year taking a single antidepressant, a woman’s risk of osteoporosis increases by 6 percent.      This study, in effect, acts as a long term clinical trial that now points out one more dangerous side-effect for women when they’re taking antidepressants. Currently, the longest clinical trials needed for the FDA to initially approve an antidepressant last 8-12 weeks. Many trials are only 3-4 weeks long.      Without long term studies such as this Qatar research, the chances for over-prescribing antidepressants become far greater as doctors are prescribing them without knowing the true risks.      Women are prescribed antidepressants twice as often as men are, and 82% of all advertising for antidepressants is aimed at women.      Women are Big Pharma’s targets.

Involuntary Psychiatric Hospitalization…a Communist’s Tactic? Nope. Today It’s America’s Robert Carter/Febuary 25, 2025      Reuters published an article on the 10th of this month alerting the public to the large increase since the start of the Ukraine war in compulsory psychiatric incarceration of Russians for their political views. 48 dissidents have recently been institutionalized involuntarily.      Instead, Reuters should have published an article on the one million involuntary psychiatric hospital commitments in America in 2022.      “Punitive psychiatry” had been a method of social control used in the Soviet Union since the nineteen-sixties. Today Russia is following suit by again using psychiatrists to label Ukraine war protestors with a mental disorder so that they can be put in a mental hospital.      Russian human rights activist Robert Van Voren notes that these involuntary commitments have quadrupled since 2022, the beginning of the Ukraine conflict. Still, they’re only 38.      To accomplish a “legal” incarceration, Russian psychiatrists had originally come up with two politically convenient diagnoses of mental disorder. “Sluggish schizophrenia” and “reformist delusions” were the terms coined by their psychiatrists, in the same manner that American psychiatrists vote for the inclusion of a new mental disorder into their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.      Communist China solved their problem with social “misfits” through a similar psychiatric tactic. A new mental disorder had been created by Chinese psychiatrists which allowed forceful psychiatric incarceration of Chinese citizens. They were labeled as suffering from what psychiatrists called “culture bound disorder.” Thousands of Falun Gong members, for instance, had been incarcerated in this way because their religious beliefs were considered tobe a threat to an ordered Chinese society.      In America today, the rate of involuntary psychiatric detentions has increased sharply over the past two decades. In 2014 the rate of all emergency involuntary detentions was 357 per 100,000 people. Today the rate of involuntary psychiatric incarceration in the United States ranges up to a new high of 966 per 100,000 in Florida.       Laws for involuntary psychiatric incarceration — such as Florida’s Baker Act — now exist in every state. In some jurisdictions, legal mechanisms like Laura’s Law and Kendra’s Law have been passed which authorize court-ordered, forced ingestion of psychiatric drugs for those with “chronic, untreated severe mental illness.”      These laws are said to be used to protect an individual from harming himself or others. However, they can too easily be misused when in the wrong hands, as they have been in Russia and China under the complicity of their  psychiatrists.      The problem in America, of course, may not then be the laws themselves. It is the use of them by  psychiatrists who are able to incarcerate someone involuntarily in a mental institution through the use of one of their DSM labels of a “mental disorder” which has no scientific basis. The psychiatrist does not even always see in person the one who is being incarcerated.      A psychiatrist just writes down on a form one of the semi-bogus “mental  disorders” from the DSM. Those disorders – like Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, a label for the cramps and heightened emotions for a woman during her monthly cycle – may be no more valid than the “sluggish schizophrenia” or “cultural bound disorder” coined by America’s psychiatric counterparts in Russia and China.      Yet in 2022 American psychiatrists or their proxies forcefully  committed just over one million people by ordering these involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations.

Their 2023 revenue was over $45 billion.      In 2022 Biogen, Inc. agreed to pay $900 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged they paid doctors kickbacks to boost sales of their drugs. Again, a small price to pay. Their 2023 revenue was nearly $10 billion.      In 2023 Teva  Pharmaceuticals and Teva Neuroscience paid over $450 million to settle a Department of Justice case that alleged they leveraged assistance foundations to fund patients’ co-pays. Also a small price to pay. In 2023 Teva’s income was $15.8 billion.      Last Friday, the  Department of Justice announced that Pfizer has just paid almost $60 million to resolve a case of kickback allegations about its subsidiary, Biohaven, the manufacturer of the migraine prevention drug Nurtec. Another small price to pay. Nurtec delivered $928 million in sales to Pfizer in 2023 alone.      Pfizer itself is expected to report a $1 billion dollar revenue from the drug just in the fourth quarter of 2024.      The Pfizer kickback case alleges that Biohaven induced doctors to write prescriptions for Nurtec by paying them “improper remuneration” for speaking engagements and by pampering them with lavish dinners at “high end” restaurants. Biohaven also provided junkets for doctors’ spouses, family members, and friends at “educational” events which these people had no realistic reason to attend.      An ex-Biohaven staff member came forward as a whistleblower to alert the Department of Justice to these criminal  improprieties, and Pfizer has acquiesced to the out of court settlement of $60 million.      A Pfizer spokesperson said that the company is “pleased” to put the legal matter behind them so they could get back to focusing on the needs of their patients.      Not to mention getting back to the $1 billion per quarter income that was ever so slightly diminished by this

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
