The Dumbing Down of the American Public – Part III
Where Do Mental Health Disorders Come From?
Part III of a Five-Part Series
A marked increase in the consumption of psychiatric drugs is occurring simultaneously with an increase in suicides, violence on our streets, and Social Security disability claims. Is there a relationship?
The fifth revision of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, otherwise known as the DSM-5 was released in May 2013 and has been the subject of scathing criticism by psychiatrists and psychologists due to its lack of science and reliability. Within it the list of (insurance-reimbursed) “billable conditions” grew to include Caffeine Disorder, Jet Lag and Mathematics Disorder, to name a few. The DSM IV (the prior edition) created a 40-fold increase in child bipolar diagnosis from the prior edition and an epidemic of dangerous antipsychotic prescriptions for small children.
Please join us for a riveting discussion outlining the scientific failure of the DSM-5 and the implication for adults, youth and children.

The Dumbing-Down of the American Public – Part II
Is Grandma Overmedicated?
Part II of a Five-Part Series
In recent months Americans have witnessed an increase in the tragic loss of loved ones through suicide, and violent outbursts upon innocent bystanders. Locally we have experienced the tragic death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, originally from Fairport, the trial of Dawn Nguyen, and the Fort Hood shootings.
Simultaneously, the use of pharmaceutical medications has skyrocketed in America. Only two countries in the world allow their citizens to market drugs on television: New Zealand and the United States. In one generation the number of individual pills consumed by Americans has increased from one billion to one hundred thirteen billion.
Is there a relationship between the two?
