Global conference aims to end psychiatry

1 in 5 Canadians will experience mental health issues at least once in their lives. Sadly our culture and medical system still marginalizes and stigmatizes the mentally ill and those who appear to be mentally ill. As reported by the American Psychiatric Association, Canadian psychosis patients do not receive equal health care treatment. The use of psychiatric drugs is at an all-time high in North America. Children have been described by the Organic Consumers Association as a "psychiatric gold mine" after statistics were released showing the use of psychiatric drugs had increased by 50% in children and 73% in adults between 1996-2006 in the United States. In Canada, psychiatric drugs are the second-most prescribed, said the Montreal Gazette.

This is a standard APA promotional gimmick seeking government funding by claiming groups as "under represented".

Groups such as foster children & the elderly, who in institutions ("assisted living homes" & group homes) are then experimented on using blanket medication waiver's & facilities agreements with pharma companies), the disabled, re-hab, mother's, schools, and such.

The APA is currently the largest lobby group in these nations capitols.
