@mikiesherrill.bsky.social I hope you'll also, someday soon, force psychiatrists to provide psychiatric care proven to either restore or cure mental illnesses. The APA has been fighting these approaches longer than I've been alive. I used both to CURE my loved ones of "incurable" mental illnesses.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Tom, please write about how Rob Reiner's son, Nick, was never, ever, given mental health treatment to even TRY to cure him. NOT ONCE. Our mental health care system doesn't work that way. It's crappy chemicals to suppress symptoms — or nothing. Psych drugs CURE NO ONE.
@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com If an investigative reporter at USAToday were willing to think outside the box, he/she could start the ball rolling to end the problem of mental illness in the US. Mental illnesses have been curable for 200 years, just not with patented, psych drugs.
@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social What eventually cured my son of his "bipolar with psychosis" and another relative of "schizophrenia" was homeopathy. The World Health Org (WHO) says it's the second most widely used system of medicine in the world — because, unlike western medicine, it cures people.
@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social I'm glad you've found answers to depression including synthetic drugs and other approaches. In my family, what cured my anxiety disorder was NAET (acupuncture). I was cured before I got off the table. The "orthomolecular" approach "disappeared" my son's "bipolar."
@johnpavlovitz.bsky.social John, thank you for your well-written story about your depression. My family is no stranger to mental disorders (bipolar with psychosis, depression, schizohrenia, anxiety, etc). We're all fine now thanks to approaches that actually cure people. Psych drugs don't cure ppl.
@splasharooni.bsky.social I don't want anyone to feel shame from bipolar with psychosis disorder! American psych drugs don't cure it because they're not even designed to. They're made for the purpose of bringing in the most $$$ possible to the APA and their business buddies, the drug companies.
@splasharooni.bsky.social When my loved one had "incurable" "bipolar with psychosis," he recovered under "orthomolecular" treatment. His histamine level had been too high. It was pretty easy to fix with nutritional supplements from the health food store. Then he was cured with homeopathy.
The Am Psychiatric Association has 100% freedom to use any approach they like in treating patients — with zero oversight by the US government. Interesting how they've chosen the approach that has a proven, government-audited recovery rate of .0005%. (King County Ordinance #13974, 2003 Annual Report)
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social I think the biggest cover-up of the last century of American history is that mental illnesses are curable, just not with man-made psych drugs. The APA has been fighting against medicine that cures people since the 1800s: homeopathy. It cured TWO of my "incurable" loved ones.
@bgrueskin.bsky.social The biggest cover-up of the last century is that there is no law that says psychiatry must even TRY to cure anyone — so it doesn't. That's why NO ONE is cured. The APA has been fighting against curative mental health care since the 1800s.
@wsunursing.bsky.social As a nurse, you're expected to give patients the drugs that are pushed by both the AMA and APA, not to cure anyone, just somewhat suppress symptoms, leading to so much burnout among nurses. Homeopathy CURES mental illnesses. The AMA and APA fight against it.
@progressgeorgia.bsky.social Almost all Americans see that psych meds don't cure mental illness so they ASSUME it's incurable. It's the drugs that are the real problem. Both of my "incurable" loved ones were CURED because I dumped the psych meds and hired a professional homeopath to treat them.
@nytimes.com To Megan Twohey: Homeopathy has been curing mental illnesses for 200 years but the Am Psych Ass'n fights against this approach — and cures no one.The Congressional Research Service says there's no law requiring the APA to cure anyone. They don't even have to try.
@govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov I support you but I'm afraid you're promoting the same old system of mental and physical health care that cures no one. If you would just "think outside the box" a little, you would be open to mental health treatment that CURES people instead of just suppressing symptoms.
@hunterw.bsky.social People think our mental health care system is "broken" but it isn't. It's designed to cure no one. I think this is the biggest cover-up of the last century. There is NO law saying the APA must even TRY to cure patients, so they don't, acc to the Congressional Research Service.
@thetnholler.bsky.social Do Americans even realize that mental health care cures no one because it isn't designed to? Ask any psychiatrist about a cure: they'll laugh at your "stupid" question. There's one approach that does cure people but there's no money in it so the APA fights against it.
December 14, 2012 marks 13 years since the sickening day when little first-graders were massacred in Sandy Hook Elementary School — so what have we done to prevent another massacre? Nothing. We never do. It's mental illness that pulls the trigger but we "can't" cure people bc there's no profit in it
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Zohran, let's make it illegal to own more than one house or condo or maybe tax all rentals at 50%. We need to encourage investors to dump their extra housing units so the real estate market will go back down to normal and families can afford to buy ONE home.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social We have a huge problem with mental illness across the US because conventional psychiatry isn't designed to cure anyone. The Congressional Research Service says there's no law saying psychiatrists must even TRY to cure patients. Let's enact a law.
@tcurwen.bsky.social 4. ,again, there is no law to break. America's mental health care system isn't "broken." It's designed to work this way, curing no one and sticking us taxpayers with the bill. We CAN stop mental illness in the US if we just think outside the box. Let's talk.
@tcurwen.bsky.social 3. I complained to my congressman so his aide wrote to the Congressional Research Service to find out what the law says. Result: there is NO law saying psychiatrists must even TRY to cure a patient. All psychiatrists could use VOODOO and they wouldn't be breaking the law because
@tcurwen.bsky.social 2. In 1996 I realized psychiatrists were NEVER going to even try to cure my son so I starting doing my own research. I've found 2 approaches that restore a person's mental health. The APA fights against both of them — I think because they bring in only pennies for profit.
@tcurwen.bsky.social 1. Clearly, the US has an epidemic of mental illness but there's a good reason for it: conventional psychiatric drugs aren't designed to cure anyone — just sort-of suppress symptoms until they eventually die. The APA has been fighting against curative treatment for over 100 yrs
