This blog is not about psychiatrists or psychiatry but when you consider that there are so many people taking prescription drugs – many of which are very dangerous and addictive – for alleged psychiatric reasons, it’s hard to stay off the subject sometimes. What’s spurred me on this time?

Psychiatry has systematically been re-classifying just about every one of life’s imperfect experiences as disorders that, according to the psychs, need to be treated with drugs.

The latest psych/Big Pharma target is college kids. Someone must have told them that college kids are already abusing prescription drugs like crazy – mostly to get high, sometimes to enhance their focus (they call them ‘study drugs’) - and now they’re going after that lush market with a study that shows that 1/2 of college-aged kids suffered a psychiatric disorder within the last year.

Of course, whatever the kids experienced is a ‘psychiatric disorder’ only because the psychs have reclassified it as such. The ‘science’ is totally their own – it doesn’t hold up under real medical scrutiny.

Next thing you know, they’ll be lobbying to pass a law that all college kids have to be screened for ‘disorders’ they should take drugs for. And they’ll be on their way to capturing a new public.

Do you think that’s the plan?

It’s not appropriate to use curse words in a blog, so I’m holding back here.  But I challenge you to find one that doesn’t apply to the psychs and Big Pharma creeps that will do anything to get someone on drugs.

Beware of what’s happening with your college-age kids. Many are already taking prescription drugs and some are coping with prescription drug addiction and abuse without ever having seen a doctor.  What’s going to happen when it’s sanctioned by the fact that they have a prescription?

All because they were stressed out about an exam coming up. It’s life. Not a disorder.  But you can be sure of one thing – if they get into taking these drugs, they’ll develop a disorder of one sort or another. And next thing you know, your normal college kid who was worried about passing a test will be in an addiction treatment center, or worse.
