Be sure to visit the “Truth Radio”; tune in and hear experts from around the world discussing the ideas behind drug use in the mental health field.
The International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology
Best suited for professionals who are concerned about prescriptive practices in the mental health arena and government policies (re human rights) that affect social trends in assessment and diagnostic inconsistencies in the mental health field. The membership of ICSPP advocates (in the main) psychotherapy (talking therapy) over the ingestion of psychotropic substances.
PROZAC TRUTH

PSYCHIATRIC DRUG FACTS
By Peter Breggin, a U.S. psychiatrist who has been an advocate – politically and in the courtrooms of America – for the rights of the individual to be INFORMED of the dangers of psychotropic medications. Author of many books including "The Antidepressant Fact Book", "Your Drug May Be Your Problem" and "Talking Back to Ritalin". The site contains many sections and papers that educate about antidepressants and other damaging brain medications, along with facts about pharmaceutical company tactics and antics. A scary site if you want to know about the harm you can do to your neurological system. Check out the "Books by Peter Breggin" page.
