Health Update: Psychological Manipulation in the Pharmaceutical Industry with Rev. Fred Shaw Jr.
How does psychological manipulation occur in the pharmaceutical industry? Rev. Fred Shaw Jr., Director of Public Affairs and Spokesperson for the Citizens Commission on Human Rights International and a watchdog of the mental health industry for over fifty years, breaks it down for us.
First, a highly profitable idea comes forth. Next, someone with enough money capitalizes on it and pushes it. Then, they pay out our political figures who are not scientists themselves to accept it. It then gets taught in our major educational institutions. We push it out on the public as true. Everybody believes it’s true. And we end up suffering the effects of a treatment that was never proven and has no evidence backing it up.
In this case we are talking about the highly profitable idea that depression is based on a chemical imbalance of serotonin in the brain, and that by treating the depression with drugs that affect serotonin (like SSRIs) we will cure the illness and eliminate the depression. We now know that depression is not based on a chemical imbalance of the brain, yet doctors continue to prescribe antidepressants to millions of Americans, altering their brain chemistry and changing their personality without truly solving their severe sadness.
