Hey there's this really great new IDM track I found with a really long title, I was wondering if anyone knows who did it? It's called: K thru 3rd grade? Oh it's much better than that my dear. The White House's 'NEW FREEDOM INITIATIVE' (that's about as Orwellian as 'Patriot Act') calls for screening eeeevvvvverrry-body as recommended by the commissioned panel who just happens to include all sorts of bigwigs from the big pharma industry (surprise surprise!) Oh and the FDA has already approved microchips for the brain (or brain-chips) to treat depression and other 'illnesses'. Huxley and Orwell here we come! --- http://www.cchr.org/publications/brave.htm NEW MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE FORWARDS PSYCHIATRY'S BRAVE NEW WORLD TOTALITARIAN RULE TO DIAGNOSE AT WILL Diagnostic "Screening" Process is a Con-Game To Troll For New Patients According to the British Medical Journal, a sweeping U.S. mental health initiative will be unveiled in July which proposes to screen every man, woman and child in America for mental "illness." The initiative was prompted by a March 2004 progress report by The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. President George W. Bush appointed the commission to advise him on ways of improving the mental health system. However, psychiatric advice has grossly misled the President and the American people. The progress report, entitled the New Freedom Initiative, has failed to advise the President on the real crisis in mental health - the fraudulent premise for screening for "mental illness" and the psychiatric drugging of millions of Americans. Under the recommendations psychiatrists and psychologists are seeking government-sanctioned power to "screen" every child for "mental illness" through public schools, and every adult during general medical examinations. The "screening" criteria is based on the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM), a diagnostic manual that international mental health experts voted in 2000 to be one of the worst psychiatric texts in the last millennium. Additionally, such screening is being recommended at a time when there is broad public concern that many of the antidepressants being prescribed for conditions in the DSM are under federal investigation for causing suicidal reactions. The Commission's campaign for national mental health "screening"?which will result in millions more Americans being prescribed these psychiatric drugs?is very alarming and merits close inspection as to its motives. Here are the facts: ? The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health's report states that "mental illnesses are shockingly common," but neglects to address or even mention the fact that there is no medical or scientific means by which to diagnose mental "illnesses." Psychiatrists and mental health proponents promote psychiatric "disorders" as a disease, or an illness that can be diagnosed in the same manner as real physical illness. This is a fraud. There are no blood tests, brain scans or chemical imbalance tests to validate any mental disorder as an illness or "disease." With no scientific/medical criteria to substantiate these claims, anyone could be diagnosed as mentally ill based solely on a checklist of behaviors. ? The Commission based its entire findings on the definition of mental illness as defined by psychiatry's billing bible, the DSM. The DSM contains hundreds of psychiatric mental "disorders" which are a list of behavioral symptoms that are literally voted into existence and inserted into the DSM. Such diagnoses include "Caffeine-Related Disorder," "Mathematics Disorder," "Disorder of Written Expression," and the all-encompassing "Phase of Life Problem." These "disorders" are simply a classification of symptoms that are drastically different from, and foreign to, anything in medicine. ? To give an example of this so-called science, consider the following mental "disorder" taken directly out of the DSM: Billing Code Number 313.9 "Disorder of Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescents, Not Otherwise Specified" (The entire diagnostic criteria listed in the DSM for this category is as follows) "This category is a residual category for disorders with onset in infancy, childhood, or adolescents that do not meet criteria for any specific disorder in the Classification."
