Reports are now surfacing that Psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich played a huge role in the overdose that took Anna Nicole’s death.
The psychiatrist was writing prescriptions in false names and prescribed unwarranted amounts of highly addictive medications to Smith, knowing that she was an addict.

Proving psychiatry’s failure the New York Times today ran an article describing how psychiatrists have oversold the idea that brain imaging scans can somehow prove the existence of their many theoretical diseases. The NY Times reports: “After almost 30 years, researchers have not developed any standardized tool for diagnosing or treating psychiatric disorders based on imaging studies.” and “imaging technology has not lived up to the hopes invested in it in the 1990’s - labeled the “Decade of the Brain” by the American Psychiatric Association”.
The underlying theory behind modern psychiatry is that all mental and emotional problems are brain diseases often caused by a chemical imbalance. The only problem is that not one of these diseases have ever been proven to exist based on hard scientific evidence. These diseases are just theories. To make matters worse prominent psychiatrists have even admitted that they have no real scientific way to test for these brain disorders and chemical imbalances in the first place!
Add to that the media barrage with all the side effects of psychiatric drugs like antidepressants and anti adhd drugs. This year has seen FDA warning after FDA warning about how psychaitric drugs are causing people to commit suicide. The other side effects from these drugs don’t sound very appealing either. Things like psychosis, sexual dysfunction and weight gain are just a few of them.
Chock up another embarrassment for the APA out of the dozens they have experienced this year. Psychiatry and big pharmaceutical companies have suffered by having their humiliating failures exposed in the media.recently. It seems every day I am running across something new. One day it’s how many of their diseases are just theories and have never been proven to exist and then the next I read an article about how psychiatric drugs are causing children to kill themselves. The truth about psychiatry is out there - if you choose to look for it.
I don’t think it will be much longer before the entire population sees psychiatry for the failure that it is.

In a description that sounded more like a dungeon torture chamber this article covers the horrific abuse of patients in psychiatric hospitals in Turkey. The story also quoted a report investigating these human rights violations. The report included such comments as:
“Investigators observed children emaciated from starvation,” and “Staff reported children dying from starvation and dehydration.”
Patients are “subjected to treatment practices that are tantamount to torture,”
The group said electric shock therapy were “massively overused in Turkish psychiatric facilities in cases for which there is no clinically proven justification,” and that they were used as a form of punishment.
“(Electric shock) without the use of anesthesia and muscle relaxants violates all internationally accepted medical standards,” the report said.
The head of this psychiatric hospital is quoted as stating that 40-60 patients undergo electric shock treatment every day. He is also quoted as saying:
“(Electric shock) is harmless, it is even safer to give (it) to a pregnant woman with depression than medication,”
The report on these human rights violations concluded with: “As the European Union meets to consider Turkey’s human rights record … we ask them to demand action by the government of Turkey to end these human rights violations,”.
One common misconception is that treatment like this is isolated to a few psychiatric hospitals in third world countries. That could not be further from the truth. Barbaric treatments like electric shock are used in the United States on as many as 100,000 patients every year.
Electric shock is a violent brain damaging treatment. Such a high amount of electricity is used that muscles spasms and convulsions can actually cause physical damage to the patient. That is why psychiatrists give the person being shocked a heavy dose of muscle relaxants and anesthesia. Many patients complain of long term memory loss. I’ve even heard of cases where they lose all memories of their own families.
It’s time to stop the brutal therapy of electric shock treatment once and for all. It doesn’t matter if it’s in Turkey or California, this should never happen to anyone.
