The Psychiatric Invasion of Addiction Treatment
The connection between psychiatry and drugs is not new. In fact, many psychiatric diagnoses call for drugs as part of their treatment protocol.

The latest trend in drug addiction diagnosis and treatment deals with co-occurring disorders, meaning an individual is said to have a substance abuse disorder and one or more mental disorders. These disorders can be located in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition (DSM IV) and are considered to be brain diseases.

An interesting point about the DSM is that new disorders are supposedly discovered and subsequently labeled as time goes by when they’re voted in by members of the American Psychiatric Association – yes, voted in as a matter of opinion.

For decades now certain groups have been trying to pin a label on addiction as well, saying that it is a family disease passed on through genes causing a neurological disorder. Today, that research continues after hundreds of millions of dollars have failed to prove the theory, which is largely backed by the fields of pharmacology and psychiatry that continue to reap the financial rewards from government contracts and drug sales regardless of results.

In announcements for new funding opportunities for research recently, the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) says that "Scientists believe the disorders arise from multiple genes exerting small effects, gene-by-gene interactions, gene-by-environment interactions, and a host of environmental factors and risk behaviors. However, there has been limited success in reliably identifying specific susceptibility genes for drug abuse.”

This is merely a continuation of a pattern of unproven theories designed to make drug addiction into some complex disease that justifies the inadequacies of mainstream addiction treatment. The result equals more drugs being pushed by psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies onto our society to make billions of dollars, which is all a hoax. Don’t believe it? All you have to do is look for yourself and you’ll see the fraud that is being committed.

According to author and Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor Lucas Aaron Catton, “The fact is that if you read any of the studies regarding addiction as a disease or some chemical imbalance, the findings always use words like ‘may’ or ‘suggest’, but never conclusively prove anything. It is a scam pulling the wool over the eyes of Americans that continues to subdue society under an array of drugs. The results include rising healthcare and insurance costs while lowering the overall health and awareness of the individuals taking the drugs.”

Catton, whose book “Losing the Beer Goggles: And Seeing the Truth for the First Time” offers real solutions to the world’s drug problem, says that people who enter treatment for substance abuse are typically harder to help if they’ve been on psychiatric drugs for any significant length of time.

“These people have been told that they have a disease and it’s much more difficult for them to take responsibility for their condition. The drugs they’ve been given under the guise of help have cut their ability to perceive and reason. I applaud Mr. Cruise for speaking the truth, even if people aren’t ready to accept that truth yet.”
