Psychiatry: Friend Or Foe? The Untold Story Of Australian Psychiatry
Australia is experiencing a tidal wave of psychiatric drugging. In a population of just over 24 million, more than 35 million prescriptions are written for psychiatric drugs every year, with $8 billion spent annually on mental health.
Of great concern is the growing numbers of children and teenagers on antidepressants when no antidepressant is approved for use in children under the age of 18 for depression. Considering the huge increases in psychiatric drug consumption over the last twenty years – drugs we are told are nothing short of miraculous – why aren’t we doing better?
This compelling documentary details the real story of what lies behind the ever-increasing psychiatric funding and drugging of our children and society.
