‘Russian Romeo’ steals girlfriend from psych ward, sues mother for forced hospitalization

A young man shot his way out of a Moscow mental institution in a bid to ‘rescue’ his pregnant girlfriend. The pair turned themselves in on the second day of a police search – both to confess, and to sue the girl’s mother.

The assault, they claimed, was a desperate move to free the woman from the horrors of the mental ward and the imposed effects of heavy medication. They claimed the hospitalization was forced, and orchestrated by the woman’s mother. The couple has already been dubbed the ‘Russian Romeo and Juliet,’ and their story is being closely watched by a fascinated public.

Pharma funding behind mental health ‘advocacy’ campaigns & groups

No drug ads or Pharma sponsors dot the website of the Child & Adolescent Bipolar Foundation which has renamed itself the Zen-like “Balanced Mind Foundation.” (Meditation/medication–same idea, right?)

But according to the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry the actual guidelines the Balanced Mind Foundation uses to discern bipolar disorder in children and adolescents were funded by Abbott, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Forest, Janssen, Novartis and Pfizer. Oops.

NaturalNews—Wolves Circling Prey: Psychiatrists Targeting More Kids for ‘Treatment’

To understand even a little bit about real psychiatry, versus the false picture, you have to know that someone running around the streets naked and screaming has nothing to do with a mental disorder.

If you can’t grasp that, you’ll always have a lingering sense that psychiatry is on the right track. It isn’t, and never was. Not from its earliest days, and not now, when it has the full backing and force of the federal government behind it.
