Here Gregory Hession, J.D., recounts one of his cases where he tried, in vain, to uphold a heartbroken mother’s wishes not to drug her six-year-old mildly autistic son, who had been taken into state custody after her refusal. Without the presence of a single doctor, the court decided to put the child on five powerful anti-psychotic drugs, even though none of these drugs have been approved by the FDA for use in children. Peter Breggin, M.D., author of Toxic Psychiatry and other books about the use of psychiatric drugs, maintains that no psychiatric drug treatment corrects or improves existing brain dysfunction (such as a biochemical imbalance.) This, he says, is a major misunderstanding about psychiatry that the profession tries to hide because it places these drugs outside the scope of proper treatment for mental disorders. The central reason for today’s mental health diagnoses run amok is the fact that without a diagnosis code, your insurance company cannot reimburse your mental health provider. All mental health diagnoses are codified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), originally published in 1952 by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). At that time, it had 112 entries. Since then the APA has added hundreds more, based on the current whims of the profession and the most current in-vogue maladies. The current DSM-IV and the soon to be released DSM-V include such gems as: * Mathematics disorder * Caffeine disorder * Disorder of Written Expression * Telephone Scatialogia * Malingering These absurd codes make it possible for your mental health professional to invoice for your visit, no matter how normal or innocent the real problem might be. And with the bill comes a label, and most often a drug. Sources: * The New American September 17, 2007 Your acceptance shows your agape which is not easily offended. I am happy to see your faithfulness and zeal for our Lord. Love is not easily offended. Perhaps I am trying to share an understanding, a conclusion I have reached and partially shared already with you. 1. Satan is the current prince of this present world. He has nothing in me or you or Jesus, and he is against Jesus and he is against all plans of Jesus, and against me and all who believe in Jesus. 2. Jesus has already won the battle. The final victory is not yet manifest on earth as it is in heaven. 3. Satan works through his demons, he also works through those people whom he can. 4. Few of those people used by our enemy are aware of the big picture in which they are being used like pawns. Some are aware, but not most of them 5. The tangled web satan weaves to mislead and deceive has no end of convolutions. satan has mixed and joined many stories to weave his tangled web of deceit and deception as he works toward his goals . 6. There is no final conclusion to the disproving of satan's deceits, for like a beligerent child he piles lies upon lies. 7. the enemy makes false trials, false paths, false reasonings, and endless books to occupy time of whosoever may be seeking truth, to bury golden needles in a haystack of mis-direction. 8. For all these understandings, having seen the moraze of the enemy's deceits, many disciples of Christ have concluded it is good to not invest much time in studying twisted confused paths that lead nowhere but to more confused, circuitous paths, all ending at the devils' plan to deceive Christians and soak up their time, energy and resources. 9. all in all, after many treks down many paths of investigating satan's plans, I have decided for me it is good to be aware of the big picture of his plan, but i do not need to study the details, as they continually change, twist, morph, and blend, and join into other lies and deceits which he plants 10. So, instead, I look for ways to build something constructive and helpful, to light a candle, to build a fire to light the way for others to see Jesus. The enemy is an trained acrobat, and as soon as one things the enemy has been finally and completely diagnosed , outlined, and explained in minute detail, just before that the enemy morphed and invented new plans branching off from the ones just seen. So, I do what I do, as imperfect as it is, and hope to not only remain your friend, but to grow together with you in Christ. Larry
