In this page
you'll find links to articles and critical documents on
biological-psychiatry. Biological-psychiatry's official theory
describes psychological or personal problems as having a biological
origin caused by genetic or chemical 'imbalances' to be corrected by
drugs and other interventions like Electro-Convulsive Therapy [ECT]
or insulin shock. These widely used but controversial methods in
official medicine have been for many years amply invalidated,
showing clearly that they are absolutely unscientific, that they
tend to alienate patient's rights, are unable to solve the problems
presented, are dangerous for one's health, and are submissive to
pharmaceutical companies. The need for a drastic reduction in the
power of the medical-chemical-industrial lobby is an important task
to ensure that all people have the right to positive mental health,
and to re-direct science's energies towards therapeutic practices
which are focused upon the social and familial systems which are
generating the personal suffering, instead of upon erroneous and
misguided efforts to eliminate symptoms of social distress generated
in individuals.

Against Prozac - The decision in family’s lawsuit against Prozac
rests with jury. The family blames the popular antidepressant for a
murder-suicide.
Below is the
time-line
presented to the jury in the Forsyth v. Eli Lilly Trial. It was
presented during closing arguments by the plaintiffs. It lists
Lilly's internal documents. The plaintiffs allege that it shows that
Lilly knew about Prozac-induced suicidality and violence (even
before Prozac was approved for marketing in the United States) and
that this was withheld from the public.
March 4, 1999 - Press Release - The Federal Court Jury in Forsyth v.
Eli Lilly heard opening arguments today. The case involves the March
4, 1993, homicide/suicide of June Forsyth and Bill Forsyth, Sr. Bill
Sr. had been taking Prozac for ten days when he killed his wife and
himself. In arguments which lasted over one hour per side, the
lawyers for each side gave their overview of the evidence. Forsyth
counsel, Andy Vickery, gave the jury a lengthy chronology about the
potential relationship between serotonin and suicide, and suggested
that Prozac, which impacts on the body's serotonergic system, can
cause a percentage of people to become violent or suicidal, that
Lilly knew this, and that it failed to warn American physicians.
For detailed information
concerning plaintiffs allegations against Eli Lilly see
http://justiceseekers.com/prozacinfo.htm
On this page you will see a complaint for the Christian case which
allegations against Eli Lilly are identical to those of the Forsyths'.
