PsychSearch How Psychiatry Labels Gifted Children for Psychiatric Drugging Colin Taufer A mother and a psychiatrist are relaxing in a park, both observing the mother’s son at play. The mother feels her child may be gifted. The psychiatrist observes the boy and speculates he is suffering from ADD/ADHD and needs medication. How could this be? How could two people viewing the same child come to such different conclusions? The first answer is, like all psychiatric diagnoses, there are no bio-markers (no blood tests, no brain scans, no genetic tests, no hair analyses) that validate the “disease” of ADD/ADHD. The [...]

PsychSearch Psych Drugs Kill More Than Heroin Colin Taufer Every day, politicians, the press, and the president condemn the heroin epidemic currently ravaging the country. They talk about its toll in lives lost and communities ruined. They appropriate millions for prevention, treatment recovery, and drug education. They declare it a public health emergency and proclaim their commitment to fight the scourge with the Prescription Opioid and Heroin Epidemic Awareness Week every September. Yet as bad as the curse of heroin is in this country, there is a much worse plague. Psychiatrists kill more Americans than heroin dealers. When he met [...]

PsychSearch Psychiatry and Accountability Colin Taufer “Your son needs medication to control his impulsive behavior in my classroom.” These words, or some variation of them, are the ones that begin millions of our nation’s children down a destructive path filled with unfortunate consequences. One such effect, usually lost sight of, is the insidious damage such diagnoses do to the child’s sense of personal responsibility. After all, the most important people in the child’s life, his parents and teachers, have agreed that he cannot control his own behavior. They’ve concluded that self-control is not something he is [...]

PsychSearch Psychiatry: Poisoning the American Mind Colin Taufer The greatest source of poisoning in America is not the pesticide DDT or lead-based paints or arsenic contaminated drinking water. It’s not contaminated food or toxic cleaning agents. The greatest source of harmful and fatal poisons in the United States is psychiatric drugs. The common denominator of every psych drug is what it does neurologically. Each one, regardless of what its manufacturer claims it does, poisons the brain, causes severe biochemical imbalances in the brain, and impairs neurotransmitter systems. They are destructive and poisonous to the nerve cells within the brain. [...]

PsychSearch One Million American Children Starting Kindergarten on Psych Drugs Colin Taufer Imagine one million toddlers suffering psychiatric drug-caused aggression or anxiety or depression or suicide or cardiac arrest or headaches -- all before they start kindergarten. We’ve all experienced first-hand the exuberance and energy of a young child as they elbow their way through life in an effort to better understand all that is around them, to snatch up everything knowable from the world. “She, or he, is, indisputably, the most ravenous, and most successful, learning machine yet devised in the universe,” is how author Chip Walter describes the [...]

PsychSearch Psychiatry’s War Against the United States Military Colin Taufer Today tens of thousands of American soldiers are stationed in the Middle East, taking the fight to our enemies so our enemies don’t bring terror to the United States. These brave fighting men and women have put themselves in harm’s way at the front lines of combat. But the greater threat to their survival is not the crazed terrorist or plotting insurgent in front of them but the sinister psychiatrist behind them. Between 2005 and 2011, according to the Department of Defense, military psychiatrists increased the number of psychoactive drug [...]
