(PRWEB) February 3, 2005 -- Depression is now the common cold of mental

illness. At any given time as many as 25% of us are probably going through

an episode, at least in its mild form. Some researchers believe depression

effects everyone at some time or another. It is estimated that one in five

children suffer from depression. As a result 20 million Americans take

antidepressants and use is increasing by 10 percent a year. But

antidepressants do not fix anything and can actually cause serious

problems.

 

Antidepressant survivor and former pharmaceutical industry executive

Jeffrey

Wilson knows the inside story because he lived through a 23 year

pharmaceutical coma caused by antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs.

Invite this inspiring author and lecturer to discuss the truth about

psychiatric drugs. Some key points he can discuss:

 

.. Depression is not a disease like the pharmaceutical companies want us to

believe. Drug companies promote depression as a terrible disease that

could

lead to suicide if left untreated by their product. This has led to

millions

of people being over medicated with drugs that have serious side effects

including the potential for suicide.

 

.. Antidepressants do not work. Antidepressants do not fix anything - the

biochemical imbalance theory is a myth concocted to justify the

prescription

of antidepressants. These drugs are not nearly as effective as we are

led to

believe and can lead to addiction.

 

.. Doctors are not doing their jobs by writing a prescription. Today's

medical system merely labels symptoms and masks their causes rather than

diagnosing and treating real disorders. A manual of symptoms and

labels has

replaced the real work of finding the problem.

 

.. The Government can't and won't protect us. The current FDA admission

that

antidepressants cause suicide should concern everyone taking these drugs.

The FDA had the information all along but refused to acknowledge it. The

recent problems with other drugs such as Vioxx and Celebrex demonstrate

clearly that the government is not watching out for the consumer.

 

.. People's lives are being ruined by a medical system out of control.

Psychiatrists have a history of using inappropriate drugs. At one time LSD

and Ecstasy were used to " treat " patients. Antidepressants have been

proven

to cause suicidal thoughts, social withdrawal, and emotional blunting but

are being prescribed at ever increasing rates.

 

.. An even bigger crisis is coming. Children are now being targeted as the

next big market for antidepressants. The federal government has launched a

program that recommends screening school children for mental illness to

promote the use of antidepressants.
