Children are the future, but psychiatry is making sure 17 million won’t have one…
by prescribing them psychiatric drugs. These drugs are so dangerous that government authorities have issued “black box” warnings of mania, hostility, suicide, stroke and sudden death. 17,000,000 means more children taking potentially lethal psychiatric drugs than the entire populations of Australia or Ireland, Denmark, Norway and Finland combined.

Australian Draft Federal ADHD Guidelines
could cause public health crisis with increase of children prescribed mind-altering drugs. The committee and many of the studies cited are rife with current and previous drug company ties. Recommendations include drugs as a first line treatment for children and adolescents and parents to be told that complementary and alternative treatments may be of little or no benefit! Please take action to protect our children. Read Summary...

The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging

on DVD Presented by CCHR


A tale of deception… Psychotropic Drugs. It’s the story of big money – drugs that fuel a global $330 billion psychiatric industry, without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater. In Australia alone, there have been 440 reported deaths linked to anti-psychotics, 250 deaths linked to anti-depressants and over 45,000 children are on ADHD drugs known to cause, heart problems and suicidal behaviour. The DVD provides the answers and the facts, containing interviews with psychiatrists, doctors, lawyers and survivors. The facts are hard to believe but fatal to ignore.

The Marketing of Madness

on DVD Presented by CCHR


The Marketing of Madness is the story of the high-income partnership between psychiatry and drug companies that has created an $80 billion-a-year psychiatric drug sales juggernaut.
Digging deep beneath the corporate veneer, this three-part documentary DVD exposes the truth behind the slick marketing schemes and scientific deceit that conceal a dangerous and often deadly psycho-pharma sales campaign.

TOURING EXHIBIT

STATE-OF-THE-ART TOURING EXHIBIT TARGETS PSYCHIATRY AS AN "INDUSTRY OF DEATH"

With public distrust of psychiatry mounting - and government agency warnings about psychiatric drugs at an all-time high - an exhibit continually touring Australian and New Zealand shows that it could get much worse.

Denouncing the fact that internationally more than 100,000 patients die each year in psychiatric institutions and an estimated 15,000 prescriptions of antidepressants are written for children under 10 in Australia, the National Office for Australia and New Zealand of the international organisation, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) launched a "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" exhibition on Monday (18/09/2006)at Darling Harbour.

Featured Item

Despite claims of irrefutable science, there are absolutely no objective criteria by which Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be confirmed to exist. Commonly, a psychiatrist or psychologist tells parents that their child suffers from a Learning Disorder (LD) - also labeled Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), or most often today, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). "Brain disease" or a "chemical imbalance" of the brain may also be mentioned, but parents are always told that this is a well-recognized "medical problem" demanding continuous, prescribed medication. Don't believe it.
