The World Health Organization's report "Nations For Mental Health" is
ostensibly raising awareness on issues of mental health, but the
program seems to be designed to ensure conformity and promote
psychiatric drugs. The principal sponsors of the program were Eli Lilly
and Johnson and Johnson, according to Vera Hassner Sharav of the
ALLIANCE FOR HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTION (AHRP) http://www.ahrp.org/
major producers of just such conformity promoting psychotropic
medications. According to the report
The World Bank’s World Development Report 1993 publishes startling
statistics on the global burden on mental disorders. It is estimated
that 8 percent of the global burden of disability and morbidity in the
world is due to mental and neurological disorders. Adding
behaviour-related illnesses, the figure rises to 42 percent. and WHO
estimates that at any one time, as many as one in four of the world's
population suffer from different forms of mental, behavioural and
neurological disorders, including affective disorders, alcohol and drug
abuse, epilepsy, dementias, mental retardation, schizophrenia and
stress-related disorders.
This WHO initiative precedes the more recent US program to establish
"evidence based guidelines" for mental health "treatment", the Texas
Medication Algorithm, and its companion, the TeenScreen program. These
US initiatives are designed to make sure everyone who does not conform,
including children, receive their drugs. "Mental Health" has become
synonymous for drugging people so they "fit into society", to eliminate
those elements that are a disturbance. We can intuit that much from Gro
Harlem Brundtland's statement, who said that
mental disorders are one of the most significant contributors to the
global burden of disease. And, she underlines, “All predictions are
that the future will bring an exponential increase in mental problems.
The most important reasons include the ageing of the population,
exacerbating social problems and unrest, including the rising number of
persons affected by violent conflicts, civil wars and disasters and the
growing number of displaced persons.”
My suggestion to the UN would be to eliminate the real problems, such
as violent conflicts, civil wars and disasters and the growing number
of displaced persons, rather than continue our sorry state of affairs
and merely drug people into better accepting the current state of
affairs. Perhaps, if psychiatric drugs really did work, one could
tolerate a program of this kind as a temporary solution, but since
these drugs do increase both the number of suicides and the occurrence
of abominable violence, such as shooting sprees by "unbalanced
individuals", the UN's love for drug treatments and its motivations
must be closely examined. Here is Vera Hassner Sharav's comment:
