Psychiatry: An Industry of Death
Psychiatry: An Industry of Death is a controversial documentary on the horrors of psychiatry, of punishing and persecuting of the innocent and promoting Fascism, racism and atheism.
It was the foundation for the Holocaust, apartheid, for Jim Crow and for Communism. It has lead to many deaths. It denies God, the giver of life and freedom. It stands against the values of freedom, life, liberty and dignity.
There have been allegations that this is a Scientology propaganda film. Although the church of Scientology has had influence on the production of this film, the evil inherant in psychiatry should be of great concern to all people of all faiths especially Christians and Jews.
Psychiatrists in Nazi Germany basically branded innocent people as mentally ill including Jews. The concentration camps of Auschwitz and elsewhere were nothing more than psychiatric hospitals for those the Nazi State deemed mentally unfit. IE: Jews Gypsies, Christians, Dissidents, ETC.

I will say most of this is just stupid, the “mental illnesses” they talk about is not false/lie, it’s the psychiatrists that purposely diagnose people just to earn money, that’s it.
Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Racism or Atheism is _nothing_ to do with mental illnesses.

Won’t even watch this. Just reading the excerpt is enough! Scientology at its best using once again the Holocaust for their own objectives!!!!

Really bad psuedo-science, total bullshit propoganda-film from the depths of the Scientology church. Don’t even consider watching this.
I’m suprised it’s even up here, seen the lack of quality and the underlying propoganda message.

good example to be on one’s toes when watching any doc. always…… an agenda. this one’s obvious. watcher beware.

I saw portions of this film during a college course today and the professor believes this lock stock and barrel. What a crock of propaganda crap. The music, the racing back and forth on film, cut off interviews, it has a very clear message that they can make a movie say virtually anything if you cut and edit enough.

Scientology again, won’t watch it!

This is happening to me a Woodside NY resident, I am in a long court preceedings accussed of medical neglect because I chose to take a nutrition treatment for my 10yr old, instead of prozac, children services comes and even counts the pills of my teen son to make sure he is taking his meds. They are forcing me by court order to take a pysch treatment with meds because I choose vitamins instead of prozac, how insane is that?, but is real, and the system has the prower to take my hcildren away if I dont comply.

It’s amazing how if you try hard enough you can blame anyone for the Holocaust.
November 25th, 2009 at 18:17
To be honest with you I’m not convinced by this “Documentary”, Is Allowing a Cult to fleece you of your money, thought and dignity a mental illness and a suitable case for treatment? I’m just saying that Psychiatry might’ve saved Lisa McPherson, rather than being fed vitamin tablets and strapped to a bed for 17 days.

i think its funny how u guys dont beleive some of this because if you look it up there is way more evidence showing that alot of what they are saying is true… if you dont believe then maybe you should do some research
November 28th, 2009 at 00:01
Well if they’re right then I guess I should tell my friend to stop taking his meds and just hope that he doesn’t kill himself. Or maybe he just needs to take auditing classes at the Church of Scientology and stare at someone for an hour without flinching, and then he’ll be right as rain.
November 28th, 2009 at 14:51
Reading the comments I see people are debating whether the content of the documentary is true or false. It’s dangerous because it’s a mixture of both. The fact that $cientology has ANYthing to do with it should let most people know that it is unreputable and spun towards this evil cult’s own narcissistic ends. I think people should watch it and then check out the so-called facts for themselves. And if you don’t really know what $cientology is all about, may I suggest you do that first.
November 28th, 2009 at 19:04
orla nailed the doc’s strategy. excellent comment.

First begin a healthy diet(organic vegetables, low carbs) and exercise. Then stop taking the medication under the supervision of a doctor of course. If you are sick get tested for deficiencies in your body and fix it with supplements and with the necessary diet, not meds.

As a psychiatrist, I find propaganda like this dangerous and misleading, medicine is not a religion, we dont have answers, we are people trying to our best to understand and to help those who suffer. I have seen the benefits and the drawbacks of my field, but despite what we dont know, I see how we change people’s lives for the better. I would love to see Scientology open a psych ER and try to talk down an acutely psychotic or manic patient, many religious believe that psychotic disorders are a weakness of character, we believe its an illness like diabetes or heart disease, and we are trying our best to learn and to treat psychiatric illnesses better every day.

Well said LuxEtVeritas. I went to a lecture recently hosted by a eminent UK Psychologist and people need to know that these are potentially serious conditions, I was not suprised to know that psychological conditions run in families and can even go unnoticed for generations. In an ideal world prevention would be better than cure but Psycological conditions need thorough diagnosis before treatment. The documentary deliberatley set out to discredit all the hard work the doctors have put into treating these conditions, which I found incredibley insulting, and more worryingly frighten people to distrust the medical profession outright.
If anyone is wondering if I’m a doctor, I’m not. But I was diagnosed with a psychological condition 5 years ago and given the right tablets and consultation, because of this life could not be better (but not easier
And very grateful to this day that someone stepped in to help me out. So naturally I’m very protective of this profession and I hope more people get the help they need rather than beleive some phoney-belony documentary, which paints Psychology as a sadistic, ruthless, medical practice. And join a religion which fools them into thinking they’ll help them better, (The only help you’ll get is to help your wallet shed a bit of weight)

There is a lot of truth to this documentary. Don’t judge it until you’ve watched it. I was placed on Ratalin as a child and became so skinny that they took me off it.
I also took Lexipro as an adult for a while. I’m glad I got off of it and will never take another antidepressent.
The pharmacitical companies make so much money, so it’s to their advantage to keep us all drugged up and compliant.
We live in scary times.
December 14th, 2009 at 19:09
I agree that the pharmaceutical companies do make a ton of money keeping us on drugs, but most of those drugs do help people. Psychiatrists also tend to overdiagnose, but that doesn’t mean that some people don’t need psychiatric help. Just maybe not as much as we think.
I also take Lexapro, but not for depression. It helps with my anxiety, and before I started taking it I was suffering almost constant panic attacks for no apparent reason. They just started one day, and I had to drop out of school for half a year cuz I couldn’t function very well. I also have a close friend who is bipolar and psychotic, but thanks to psychiatric treatment he can have a relatively normal life and even a job, and he no longer tries to kill himself. But this COULD all be part of an evil conspiracy to get our money. Maybe we should all go off our meds just to spite them!

Interesting comments…. I was particularly ammused by those who commented that the film has anything to do with Scientology. Appears they didn’t watch the film and misread the discription as well. Psychiatrists will obviously refute it’s content, because if people actually accepted the facts their profession would be kicked to the curb. Way too many glorify the medical profession by great respect and lack of question without doing any research. Come on! It is our sanity we are talking about!! What’s different today? The medications? Once you’re on them your body will grow even more incapable of producing necessary mental chemicals. They do not, and can not claim to cure. More has gone wrong than right. In a nutshell taking the mental meds is a copout.
Depression is cured by healthy diet and adaquate sleep coupled with finding a meaningful hobby instead of brooding in self pitty.
The real cures are too simple, meanwhile billions of dollars toward the Psychiatric industry drive healthcare costs to astronomical perportions. The truly effective treatments for mental health are those which involve change in lifes routines – eliminating unproductive thoughts and behaviors.
I was drawn into gardening and entomology over 10 years ago, and now I give presentations on how to raise butterflies in your own yard/garden/patio. It has become a super depressionproof empliment anyone can do. I teach children in hope that it will make a difference to their long and happy lives. It is only the beginning of developing alternatives to biological treatments for mental illnesses, and we are definitely on the right track.
December 31st, 2009 at 10:05
Debnes, there are far more serious mental illnesses than depression. Most of them cannot be cured by changing your routine. How would you recommend dealing with severe panic disorder, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder without medication?
December 31st, 2009 at 16:30
Yes Tim I am aware of the many mental illnesses, and still maintain that there are other methods of healing besides mind altering chemicals. I was only scratching the surface.

“Depression is cured by healthy diet and adaquate sleep coupled with finding a meaningful hobby instead of brooding in self pitty.”
Wow. You are dangerously uninformed and stupid.
January 4th, 2010 at 11:13
This documentary is very dangerous as it might prevent someone from seeking psyciatric help.
Although this is very well made and beliavable on some extent but some things are greatly over exaggerated. It’s interesting to know how easily these kind of drugs make it to the market only after going through 8 week trials. The regulatory authority has a lot of people making the decisions with ties to the big pharma. So basically many inefficient drugs may get approval more easily.
It is also sad to know that psychotropics are increasingly used on young children in USA although it is not yet known what they cause to the developing brain and body.
It is also very important to notice that drugs only mask the symptoms away – it doesn’t cure depression in itself although it may have therapeutic value.
The former sales rep on this film had her own personal experience with antidepressants which caused her to become almost disabled and unable to work for six months during withdrawal.
This documentary was made by CCHR which is an international humanrights organization for the victims of psychiatry founded and funded by scientologists in 1969. They probably are important organization as psyciatry can also be used for wrong purposes.
In all its exaggeration this documentary still has a purpose.
January 4th, 2010 at 19:09
An outstanding comedy! This is a must watch film for those in need of a good laugh.
January 17th, 2010 at 01:43
@debnes “Interesting comments…. I was particularly ammused by those who commented that the film has anything to do with Scientology.”
this is a documentary made by scientology. they also host an worldwide exibition under the same name which tours the world. this is a fact.believe it or not. the commision for human rights is a scientology front group, like narconon and criminon.
Scientologys goal concerning psychology is to destroy it. they are actively destroying the lifes of psychologist all over the world by draging them to court for what they call abuse.
if you are saying you are amused about people saying this has to do with scientology i feel sorry for you. learn and research about scientology and find out what they really are and what they really do.
actually in the doc “scientology and me” you can see the “psychiatry – an industrie of death” exhibition and tommy davis (the spokesman of the church) is there and comments on the exhibition.
i think that the use of drugs in our society is quite wrong, but this does not mean that psychiatry is the root of all evil.
January 19th, 2010 at 02:17
Psychiatry is so misrepresented in society it’s embarrassing. People think all Psychiatrists are out there and closely depict “Frasier” from television.
What’s even more sad is the blatant criticism that psychiatrists get for working the medication management portion of mental illness. Of course they are going to work more in prescribing medication–they are physicians. Psychotherapists do quite well at their therapy portion of managing mental illness.
Wake up, people. Suicide rates are alarmingly high and mild mental illnesses are almost never treated because of the stigma associated with seeing a mental health professional. Why is it so threatening to people like Scientologists that some may choose to visit with a psychiatrist and benefit from doing so?
This is not to say that alternative medicine is all bogus. I don’t think so at all. I would be surprised if having a healthy diet didn’t positively contribute to living with depression. But be reasonable. Such polarizing views aren’t stopping people from suffering with mental illness.

Here’s a thought:
$cientology (cult) recruiter$ are predatory. A person who is mentally ill (schizophrenic, manic, depressed, etc..) is vulnerable.
So much easier to fleece and control an unstable personality….Therefore the benefit of psychiatry is inversely related to the corporate coffers of $cientologists.

As a mental health professional, I find this just . . . laughable. There are many golden moments, but a few of the highlights for me . . .
PSYCHIATRISTS LIKE THORAZINE CAUSE IT’S JUST LIKE A LOBOTOMY, ONLY NOT AS MESSY. Hell of a lot less permanent, though =)
PSYCHIATRISTS ARE GETTING RICH PRESCRIBING DRUGS. No darling, Drug companies get rich when psychiatrist prescribe drugs. Psychiatrists, like doctors everywhere, are making less money due than they used to, not more.
PSYCHIATRISTS WANT TO HAVE YOU INVOLUNTARILY COMMITTED . . . JUST BECAUSE . . . Uh, have any of these people ever actually tried to have someone involuntarily committed? A family member of mine was living alone in a house with no heat in the dead of winter. We were terrified she would freeze to death, but she would’t or couldn’t leave the house. Her parents had to go to court to get her committed, and believe me, it was a long, expensive and agonizing process. Scientologists, rest assured. No one will be able to involuntarily commit you for frivolous reasons (or even perhaps to save your life).
PSYCHIATRISTS ARE LYING, DISHONEST, DECEITFUL BUNCH OF PEOPLE. Uh, must be true because a lawyer said so. (Sorry lawyers. couldn’t resist).
DR. GARY NULL is oft quoted in this film. He’s a controversial character who promotes himself as a doctor and makes misleading junk-science films about medical issues (some of which, such as Vaccine Nation, can be found on this site). However, his Ph.D. is in interdisciplinary studies from an unaccredited online university. He is not medical doctor. He is a dietition. Not sure how that makes him an expert on anything in the psychiatric realm. Among other things, he argues that HIV does not cause AIDS. Um . . .
THERE ARE NO STATISTICS IN THE DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUARL. Um, lifetime prevalance rates? Prevalance rates in inpatient populations? Mortality rates? Have these boneheads actually read a DSM-IV?
PSYCHIATRISTS CAN’T WAIT TO GIVE YOU DRUGS SO THEY CAN MAKE MONEY. I’ve been to see two different psychiatrists for depressive symptoms. They both told me to exercise, sleep more and stay away from alcohol. They said to come back in a couple months if I was still depressed. Neither gave me drugs. Funny. They must have been renegades or something . . .
KIDS WHO CAN’T SIT STILL FOR 15 MINUTES WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD/ADD. Uh-oh. That’s 80 percent of the Kindergarteners I know. Has this person ever been around young kids?
OK, I’m getting bored with this. But did you know psychiatrists are undead servants of the planet doo-doo who murdered Michael Jackson with thought beams to cover up the fact that their entire bodies are covered with scales? And I have an “expert” to back it up, if I can just come up with enough money to pay him . . .
January 20th, 2010 at 01:54
Eventhough this documentary over exaggerates things a lot and some of the presented claims are outright lies it also makes a good point on how much money pharmaceutical companies are pouring in of all these drugs which were merely better than placebo.
The theory of chemical imbalances in the brain and treatment by blocking the serotonin receptors doesn’t sound like a great idea after it’s become apparent that there is no way to measure the neurotransmitter levels. Even the patient leaflets state that the mode of action is unknown.
Also it makes perfect sense that it’d be a total mistake if they actually had made a drug which’d cure any disease. Where’d the cashcows be then if people just got healthy by using some drug? Also SSRI and other drugs of this category have significant list of possible side-effects from persistent impotence to high cholesterol, high glucose levels, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypothyroidism and the risk of diabetes. The same companies on the other hand have produced viagra,cialis, statins to lower cholesterol, new diabetes drugs. Oh gee, it only seems that this conspiracy theory makes perfect sense that’s why it’s so scary. Maybe scientologists aren’t so wrong after all: They want to take money out of the equation.

- Also it makes perfect sense that it’d be a total mistake if they actually had made a drug which’d cure any disease. Where’d the cashcows be then if people just got healthy by using some drug?-
@ J
first of all, how do you expect a illness like schizophrenia to be cured? this is in fact impossible. you cannot say i had schizophrenia but now i´m cured. drugs can help to reduce the paranoia and hallucinations and can in fact enable a person to life an allmost normal life. sure there will be side effects – quite hard ones even.
and the pharma cashcows are not getting a lot of cash everywhere on the planet. in europe the money you pay for every medication is regulated, that means i might pay 5 euros for a prescribed course of antibiotics. but medication which you need permanently you will get for free, like insulin or an anti epileptic medication.
do you know how many scientologists died of seizures because they were told they could live without the evil medication? the most famous example is john travoltas son, jed was his name i think. sad story but just one of many.
so scientologists aren´t so wrong after all – they want to take money out of the equasion to stuff it in their own pockets.
February 1st, 2010 at 07:40
To be skeptical and question what is seen is important. Always examine what is being shown to you, which is why I recommend this documentary. I believe in the power of the brain, to heal itself. I also believe some might function better with medication. However, “functioning” is not healing! Pharmacy drug commercials are shown in the same sequence with the commercial saying you NEED designer things to “function” the way you always dreamed… It is obvious the pharmacies are as bad as drug dealers, without watching this. They prey on your most vulnerable insecurities!
February 2nd, 2010 at 11:11
sorry, i have to say that again.
I never ever saw an ad for an anti depressive…
In europe you dont have ads for meds – exept for example an laxative or a cold medicine or aspirin – which you can purchase freely. I saw some printed viagra adds but thats a different topic
you know.. America is not the world.
I know that might be hard to realize sometimes but there are different places out there.

Well i`m a convinced atheist and usually what people would call “extremist” in my aproach to any sort of religion
My sister and my cousin are both achieved medics , she is a surgeon and he is a pediatrist (sp? )
This being said , I did my fair share if research , and I came to the conclusion that psychiatry is not just a fraud , it`s a crime on itsself . Long before i saw this documentary . Any practicing psychiatrist should be at the very least imprisoned.
to oversimplify, every psychiatrist I’ve met was a fraud , and i know of cases of involuntary commitment.
but hey…sure…just keep drugging your kids on made-up (adhd? sheeee3eesh), keep drugging yourself over normal stuff (depressed? well…it`s a function of the brain…deal with the cause , or get drunk over it…or see a shrink and get some drugs)
“mild mental illnesses are almost never treated”
newsflash . psychiatry never ever treated any mental illness (whatever that is) , they just covered the symptoms , usually by intentional brain damage.
February 8th, 2010 at 22:27
lol, you had me rolling on the floor! are you a scientologist? so what is your fare share of research?
February 9th, 2010 at 01:54
“first of all, how do you expect a illness like schizophrenia to be cured? this is in fact impossible”
@Katerpult
Sure you can’t cure it completely but some people with milder form of the illness may learn to deal with it even without the drugs.
Most european countries prohibit advertising of the prescription drugs completely. That doesn’t mean that the drugs aren’t easily prescribed. Your doctor may easily prescribe you an antidepressant for stomachache or an antipshychotic drug quetiapine for insomnia. On top of that depression is overdiagnosed and physiological factors (such as hypothyroidism) are often left untreated. Medicalization is also true in Europe as well.
Eventhough there’s not so much profits made from the generic drugs i’d see rising antidepressant use as a problem of the future. We still don’t know enough about the brains and the longterm consequences involved with the use of SSRI class of drugs.
I’m not a scientologist and not totally against the drugs if there’s significant benefits over the risks.
