SIGNIFICANT FACT
The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders lists the evil eye ("mal de ojo") as a culture-bound syndrome that affects children in Mediterranean and Latin American countries. Among its symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, insomnia, and fits of unprovoked crying. the evil eye, we attribute tremendous meaning to the eyes. Indeed, eyes are usually the first thing we focus on when meeting a new person or greeting an old friend. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In a recent issue of Diabetes Care, The American Diabetes Association, The american psychiatric association, The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and some other associations all joined forces to warn about this class of drugs. The reason for this unprecedented move is that the companies which produce these drugs have refused to list their side effects on package labels out of fear that no one will be willing to take the drugs. In 2003 the FDA ordered these companies to do so, but to date, they have not complied. |

(It took Freud himself, the founder of psychoanalysis, to argue, in an essay called On The Question of Lay Analysis, that the medical doctors were full of it.)
The AMA's fight to make chiropractic disre-spectable and brand it "quackery" was similarly reprehensible. |
Anne Harrington
See book keywords and concepts |  In the early 1980s, the american psychiatric association responded to intense lobbying by Vietnam veterans by recognizing a new diagnostic category: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This diagnosis replaced the diagnostic category "war neurosis," which during World War II had in its own right replaced the World War I concept of shell shock. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Psychiatric Times, August 19, 2005), the president of the american psychiatric association, now bemoans the fact that the "bio-psycho-social" model has given way to the "bio-bio-bio" model, where there is a total focus on medication to the exclusion of other treatments, such as various forms of talking therapy; exercise, which works for depression, as I describe later; or working with families.
Consequently, it's not surprising that the market for antidepressants is fast growing and currently brings in $14 billion a year to the pharmaceutical industry. |

Today, children with subclinical pellagra, as it was described in the 1930s, are classified in the american psychiatric association Diagnostic Manual as suffering from one of the attention deficit disorders, such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), commonly treated with the popular drug Ritalin.
In his book Healing Children's Attention and Behavior Disorders, Dr Hoffer has shown these conditions can be treated effectively with orthomolecular medicine. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In the absence of data, the american psychiatric association simply has no treatment guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of subsyndromal depression. (There are extensive guidelines for major depressive disorder.) The U.S. government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, in preparing a report on recommended treatments for depression, reviewed 315 clinical studies evaluating medications and found a grand total of three trials on subsyndromal depression worthy of review. | | Most likely, Julie's complaints fall into "that considerable gray area between feelings and behaviors that constitute a disorder and those of a similar nature that are not severe or specific enough to merit a diagnosis," as Psychiatric News, a journal of the american psychiatric association, put it. "A few examples: shyness vs. social phobic disorder, a gloomy disposition vs. dysthymic disorder, dissatisfaction with one's appearance or sexual performance vs. body dysmorphic or hypoactive sexual desire disorder, getting upset when things go wrong vs. adjustment disorder. | | My sense is that the DSM has become such a moneymaker for the american psychiatric association that we shouldn't expect anything terribly revolutionary in the next version," Roger K. Blashfield, a psychology professor at Auburn University who has written a great deal about the politics of psychiatric diagnosis, told me. Indeed, the DSM-IV and the revised edition, DSM-IV-TR, together have sold 1.4 million copies at about eighty dollars apiece,52 making it one of the more lucrative books in recent publishing history. | | So the most recent diagnostic manual of the american psychiatric association is happy to provide any number of diagnoses of disorders (with accompanying billing codes) that are patently not for mental illnesses at all, but sound just clinical enough to satisfy the insurance companies. For practitioners unwilling to slap Julie with major depression, there are any number of alternatives. | | Even Psychiatric News, a journal of the american psychiatric association, said that drug makers like Glaxo found 9/11 "a marketing opportunity." According to Nielsen Media Research, drug ads increased dramatically in the weeks after the attacks. In October 2001 alone, Glaxo spent $16 million on advertising Paxil, almost twice what they spent the previous October.102 It worked. Medicaid recipients, for example, who lived within three miles of the World Trade Center filed 18 percent more antidepressant prescriptions in the three months after the attacks. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The American Cancer Society, in my opinion, is a supremely corrupt, big-business front group that actually takes steps to ensure more cases of future cancer by "preventing prevention," the American Diabetes Association takes money from candy and soda manufacturers, and the american psychiatric association is so steeped in Big Pharma money that they've practically become inseparable.

He pushed to get the APA to formally adopt exercise in its treatment guidelines for depression and suggested that psychiatrists tell every patient to walk three to five miles a day or do some other type of vigorous exercise. The APA balked, presumably because, while most doctors acknowledge the anecdotal evidence that exercise improves mood, they say there isn't enough scientific evidence. |

It would take more than a year for the government to approve the drug, but its promotion was already in high gear.
The company hired and trained other physicians to present the article's results to smaller groups of doctors at hundreds of dinner meetings across the country. |

In reality, three of the psychiatric organizations listed on the posters receive significant funding from SmithKline and other drugmakers. |
Gary Null and Amy McDonald
See book keywords and concepts | | ADHD, invented in committee in 1980 at the american psychiatric association, has never been proven to be a disease. The whole concept of how to define 'attention' is problematic. There is no specific work to show us what it means. The main researcher in the area of attention in the 1970s, Dr. Thomas Mulholland, described a conference of the major experts in this area around the world, none of whom could come up with a satisfactory definition of attention. The methods used to diagnose attention and hyperactive disorders, then, by its very nature, are completely subjective. | | It was invented by the american psychiatric association, on the basis of behaviors alone. They did test for alpha wave changes in the brain, but alpha waves change in the brain when a person is bored and not paying attention anyway."
Many parents are being told that their children could have a chemical imbalance in the brain, and that a psychological examination is warranted. | | To deny the effectiveness of drugs or to admit their dangerousness would result in huge economic losses on every level from the individual psychiatrist who makes his or her living by prescribing medication, to the american psychiatric association, which thrives on drug company largesse. If neuroleptics were used to treat anyone other than mental patients, they would have been banned a long time ago. If their use wasn't supported by powerful interest groups, such as the pharmaceutical industry and organized psychiatry, they would be rarely used at all. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In 2005, american psychiatric association President Dr. Steven S. Sharfstein issued this assessment: "The practice of psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry have different goals and abide by different ethics. Big Pharma is a business, governed by the motive of selling products and making money. The profession of psychiatry aims to provide the highest quality of psychiatric care to persons who suffer from psychiatric conditions. There is widespread concern of the over-medicalization of mental disorders and the overuse of medications. |
Melody Petersen
See book keywords and concepts | | Instead doctors use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a nine-hundred-page guide written by psychiatrists and published by the american psychiatric association, which has gained enormous power in America today. The DSM, as it is commonly called, states that a child has an attention deficit disorder if he or she displays six of nine described behaviors. These behaviors include failing to pay close attention to details, not listening when spoken to, failing to finish schoolwork, forgetting things, or being easily distracted. | | The flurry of publicity caused the american psychiatric association to put out a statement saying it had no intention of adding such a disorder to its next revision of the DSM.
Other experts have blamed societal changes for the rising number of psychiatric prescriptions for children, including the high divorce rate in America, the increase in the number of mothers who work, and parents who increasingly find themselves too busy to give their children all the attention they desire. In Iowa about 70 percent of children under the age of six have parents who both work. |

See book keywords and concepts | | They are produced by the american psychiatric association in the DSM and marketed just like the Dalkon Shield, breast implants and cigarettes. The dangers are being covered up. I call the whole process Diagnosisgate because of the parallels with Watergate—the lies, the cover-up. The people who are the most unhappy, in need of help, going to therapists—these are the most vulnerable, the most likely to have these techniques and what is in this book used against them. We need to do something to protect people. |

See book keywords and concepts | | At the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in May 200c, the company pulled out all the stops, erecting a fifteen-foot-tall luna moth out of gossamer chartreuse netting, the same stuff a child's Halloween fairy wings are made of. Physicians could mount a rotating dais between the wings to recline on chocolate-colored chaise longues, where they were given headsets that emitted the soothing sound of crickets before a ten-minute sales video began.) FDA rules don't permit companies to market a drug directly before it's approved. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  Then in 1980, the american psychiatric association invented ADD, or attention deficit disorder, and with that the epidemic seemed to worsen. It appeared to me that the frequency of such diagnoses and their treatment with Ritalin, an amphetamine-like drug every bit as addictive as cocaine, were increasing in my community. At first I took note and later became alarmed at the frequency with which children were being referred to me by schools through their physician with these diagnostic labels put in place, basically by schoolteachers. |
