Pharma-funded AFSP getting airtime again. Local news: loss survivors have a higher suicide risk. Article promotes AFSP. (Widening the net at every opportunity.) No mention of the drugmakers who’ve backed this outfit for years. No mention of akathisia. AFSP have downplayed that before. Sudden death after a brain pellet increase? Depression, they've said. Not the drug. Are they a suicide prevention group or an agent for the industry? myhighplains.com/news/suicid…

Alberta court just signed off on a $7.5m Paxil birth-defect payout. - GSK still won’t say the drug did it. - Lawyers still take their cut. - The kids still have the defects. - Same old Paxil routine. - Settle. Deny. Move on. If the evidence was that weak, they wouldn’t keep writing the cheques. canadianlawyermag.com/practi…

in 2016, we designated September 20th as International Akathisia Awareness Day to increase understanding, improve patient safety, and honor those affected by medication-induced suicidality and suicide. Please see and share our new video, free courses, podcasts & resources. Awareness and education can reduce harm and save lives. piped.video/watch?v=lvsb4xiY… @RxISK @antidepeffects @woodymatters @antideprisks

Whenever I see the words "FDA Approved," my first thought isn’t safety. It’s that someone at the agency has just been slipped a bulky envelope.

Psychiatric Times "debunking" misleading claims about brain pellets. Small trial effects get dressed up as a public-health success, withdrawal is not addiction, and they wave off suicide risk in adults with population averages. Same shit, different day. psychiatrictimes.com/view/de…

Widening the net catches more fishes.
We've gone from 106 diagnoses in the DSM in 1952 to nearly 300 today. Did humans suddenly develop 200 new ways to be mentally ill? Or did the psychiatric industrial complex develop 200 new ways to profit from convincing you your personality is a disease?

Akathisia is one of the most distressing and misunderstood medication-induced disorders. This video highlights how some of akathisia's most common symptoms are mislabeled in drug ads and downplayed in patient information leaflets. Maybe Heilbrun should watch it? piped.video/watch?v=8LZNmIZL…

So, let me get this straight. They dug up an old brain pellet Europe stopped selling about 20 years ago, gave it a new name, and now say it treats ADHD and the depression and anxiety too. The study let people keep taking their other brain pellets. No dummy pill. Can someone confirm this as I may have read the article wrong? additudemag.com/viloxazine-c…
