Chemical Imbalance Fraud

Advertisements for SSRIs May Be Misleading: Medscape reviews an essay in a peer-reviewed medical journal that debunks the "chemical imbalance" myth promoted by psychiatric drug industry.
Researchers Debunk Psychiatry's 'Chemical Imbalance' Ads: A peer-reviewed medical journal runs an essay showing that claims by psychiatric drug industry about a "chemical imbalance" are unproven.
More media articles about fraud in psychiatric drug ads: Wall St. Journal, United Press International, WebMD and Time Magazine Pacific all cover the story that researchers have debunked the "chemical imbalance" claim of psychiatric drug manufacturers.
Pharmentalism: MindFreedom Editorial: What is a "pharmentalist"? A pharmaceutical fundamentalist believes we can reduce some of life's most complex problems down to a simple level of a genetically-caused chemical imbalance. This "pharmentalism" can be harmful to our planet's health.

Gabriel Hadd

MFI Shield issued a public alert that young musician and artist Gabe Hadd was under court-ordered involuntary outpatient psychiatric drugging in Michigan. Members in Colorado offered personal support. Gabe successfully escaped over state lines and evaded the forced psychiatric drugging in his own home. You can hear Gabe's music at www.myspace.com/gabrielhadd.
