Press Release Summary = "Psychiatry an Industry of Death"' blazes the bright light
of truth on the brutal pseudo science and the multibillion dollar fraud that is
psychiatry.


Press Release Body = A riveting video documentary which exposes the psychiatric
industry as a criminal organization was made available worldwide this month by the
Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a watchdog group established by the Church of
Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights.

Through rare historical and contemporary footage and interviews with more than 160
doctors, attorneys, educators, survivors and experts on the mental health industry
and its abuses, the riveting documentary 'Psychiatry An Industry of Death' blazes
the bright light of truth on the brutal pseudo science and the multibillion dollar
fraud that is psychiatry."

Brian Beaumont, the president of the Vancouver chapter of CCHR said, "The DVD
documents how psychiatry\'s ability to convince drug companies and governments to
pour billions of dollars into its practices is based upon fraudulent 'diagnostic'
criteria. Psychiatrists package various behavior and emotional characteristics and
falsely categorize these as a 'disease' or 'disorder\'. There isn\'t a single aspect
of behavior that doesn\'t fall within the broad 'symptoms' which comprise so-called
'mental illness.'\"

The DVD companion brochure contains over 150 photos and graphics that track the
history of psychiatry from it\'s macabre 18th century origins to today, where 100,000
patients die each year in psychiatric institutions and 20 million children have been
put on potentially lethal mind-altering drugs.

The DVD reveals how normal active children are forced into taking mind altering and
addictive drugs with damaging and sometimes fatal consequences and their parents are
powerless against the coercive onslaught of falsehoods opinions and the \'chemical
imbalance\' hoax which is foisted on them as \'fact\'. In addition, there are the
elderly who are treated with drugs so powerful that it leaves many with permanent
physiological damage. Some drug treatments are flanked with the infamous ECT
treatments which leave the patients - the ones that survive - with permanent brain
and neurological damage.
