Drugs and your mind - the lies told in the pursuit of billions:

The Drugs and Your Mind Website is another one of those websites popping up like so many daisies or dandelions, protesting the destructive nature of Modern Psychiatry.

Good work guys, keep it up.

Some of the quotes shared on the site:

"20% of recently approved prescription drugs have serious, even life-threatening side effects."
Journal of American Medical Association, May 2002

"90% of authors of clinical practice guidelines received research funding from, or acted as consultants to, a drug company."
Journal of American Medical Association, February 2002

"US direct-to-consumer drug ad spending soared to $2.49 billion in 2001, up from $859 million in 1997."
Wall Street Journal, March 2002

"Seven drugs (recalled by the FDA between 1993 and 2000 after reports of death and severe side-effects) exceeded $5 billion in sales before being withdrawn."
Los Angeles Times, December 2000

"I just wanted you to know that there is another childless parent out here in the world because of these drugs."
Shannon Baker, April 2002, who lost her 12 year old daughter trying to withdraw from Paxil*
