It is thought by some that SSRIs contributed to mass shootings in the US, but the only action considered is to further restrict gun use. We must not allow our tyrannical government to disarm us.

A Midwestern Doctor (substack author) did an entire article about mass shooters & that they were all on SSRIs when they committed their heinous acts. You can find his article in the archive section. It from about 1-yr. ago.

I've a friend in hospital right now with severe anxiety. Main aim is to stabilize her using drugs. A new one introduced, giving her terrible side effects, physical as well as psyco. Doc's answer - double up her dose! She's wondering if she'll ever get out alive. Watching this brought me to tears, all these people, especially the young ones, who's lives messed up because of unecessary drugs, is heartbreaking.

Yes, it did me too. So very tragic - how can we help but pray and shout from the housetops that this has to stop. That helps in preventing but to get help for those stuck in the system is another issue

Excellent movie

Thank you very much for posting it! I was lucky because I was aware of the dangers so I was able to resist a doctor whom I consulted for a straightforward medical problem shortly after my husband died. This utterly charming young doctor put considerable pressure on me to accept a prescription for an anti depressant. Even after I told her that I had professional knowledge about the risks attached to taking antidepressants and that regardless of these risks people should never take them when in acute mourning as that can lead to chronic grief she kept insisting. In the end she said “ but at least I would feel that I had done something for you”. I thought that was very telling.

My Irish beauty of almost 40 years jumped in front of a train in Brixton UK. Years later one of my boys told me that mum was on “such and such” pills that she started several months before. He told me one of the side effects was suicide. For the last 10 years or so I always think of that …........ As usual …. thank you the wonderful Dr Makis.

This movie brought back me remembering the years of anti anxiety drugs I was on. When I was just 18 after having my daughter my heart was skipping beats and when I gave birth my heart had stopped, I was in the hospital for 10 days, anyways the doctor put me on a drug to stop my heart acting weird, by the time I was 24 I had tried to kill myself multiple times by taking those same drugs. I finally got off them only to be prescribed Serax for sleep, I was on that for over 10 years, I stopped w/o side effects by taking another drug for sleep which counteracted the withdrawals I would have had from Serax. I now take 50 mg of Trazodone for sleep, it isn't addictive and it's an anti depressant but at very low dosages it helps you sleep. So I could relate to this movie and the memories of my journey came flooding back. I wish them all peace and love. One more thing, sometimes changing what you eat can stop the effects of ADHD, Ive seen studies where people have found relief thru stopping carbs, sugars and processed foods rather than getting hooked on a drug or many drugs. Thank you Dr Makis, this was a great movie, I pray it helps someone in need.

What’s ironic is that it could be that the childhood vaccines caused the psychiatric harms as a side effect of revving up the immune system. That harm done at an early age, creates an “ need” for another harm to be administered to force the overactive nervous system to be quiet again.

Actually some simple vitamins can help anxious people way more than psych meds. The users of vitamins don’t have a psych diagnosis following them around in their insurance files, don’t have the gruesome side effects, and are in control of their own treatment.

For the overly sensitive, artistic types of people, who lack seasonal allergies, folate, and niacinamide are claimed to be critical, hriptc.org

This organization has much information. Another thing to help some people is probiotics and omega 3.

Excellent and long overdue documentary. I lived this scenario - took multiple psychiatric drugs for 20 years and was more suicidal than i wasn't. Never had suicidal ideation prior to the drugs. The remedy was always increase the dosage or add or replace with another drug. I was told i was one of the rare patients who was "resistant" to the treatments. After fighting through a severe bout of depression and suicidal thoughts - i asked my world renowned Johns Hopkins psychiatrist if i could get off the meds. He replied - "sure - just cut the dose in half for a week - then discontinue completely. There are no withdrawal symptoms - if you experience any problems - that just means you need to be on the medications." Needless to say - i ended up in the ER and by the grace of God - i realized i was on my own and developed my own taper which took 1 1/2 years. And it was still tortuous. My best friend has been on Zoloft for 40 years - her husband died and she became grief stricken and suicidal - they increased her dosage to the maximum and she took 100 units of insulin to kill herself. She miraculously lived but has brain damage - poor memory, flat affect, suffered a small cerebellar stroke and has balance issues. They put her on Effexor and i begged her to discontinue it. One of the hardest to get off of. She tapered over a few months but became severely depressed and anxious and the psychiatrist put her back on Zoloft. She is content with that since the withdrawal symptoms went away. Big Pharma and the psychiatric community are beyond evil. Thank goodness the truth is being exposed. I will share this video far and wide and i suggest everyone does the same.

I agree dr’s just don’t have a clue or know and spinelessly choose to do nothing just like 4 years ago

And who created the pharmaceutical industry ? Rockefeller and his ilk.. Ever wonder why so much effort is placed against natural remedies ? It is all about profit . Humans don't mean a rip to these profiteers. Remember, the same creatures that gave you the con vid vaxxes, are the same creatures that dole out these poisons

We all know at least one family destroyed by these horrific, greedy, and corrupt medical systems, doctors, AGENCIES THAT PRETEND THEY ARE PROTECTING US. The damage is incalculable but calculate we must. As the world was catching onto all of their agendas and crimes the criminals had to start bringing on the jackboots, censorship and worse. They are going to lose this war and the people will win because the human spirit cannot be defeated. Incredible documentary. My gratitude for these heroes, producers and you.

Very representative documentary of what Rx drugs are doing to people in this society and how it affects their lives negatively. And these doctors are indoctrinated, not educated, and given licenses to dispense dangerous drugs that they call "medications." To top it off, these people are "licensed." Essentially licensed to kill and destroy the lives of people. First, do no harm, does not apply here. This whole licensing thing needs to be re-thought because it is only about hoop jumping and paying money to the govt. in order to work. There is really something wrong with this structure. There should be criteria, however, ethics should prevail and that is "Are you doing harm to the patient?"

You are so right this labeling and diagnosing with a LCSW and a psych consult is not very well medically planned!!!!

I lost a brother for this thing… world needs God, needs Jesus Christ.

That was a great documentary. We all need to get educated about what's really behind the pushing of these medications and be fully informed about the risks of these products. Clearly they are changing our brains in scary ways. Thank you!

Thank you! I have had prozac problems. The truth and mention that grief is so ignored and how our normal is medicine is sad. The most important thing in life is living for God and faith was not given enough credit for help in depression🙏🏼

Horrible that doctors prescribe a cocktail of mood altering drugs. People suffer yet no recourse for doctors-on and on it will go. Greater awareness will hopefully reduce the number of people from starting these drugs.
