Christian publication article: Psychiatry still suffers from an identity crisis, says Thurman. Only last week, the New England Journal of Medicine ran an editorial by a Columbia University physician that appeared to suggest lobotomies actually might have helped some people. Doctors at Columbia University also formulated TeenScreen, the controversial mood assessment tool that even its own co-director says can't really determine which kids are suicidally depressed.
It is the insidious move within the federal and many state governments to institute universal mental health screening, beginning in our schools, that rankles many pro-family advocates. "The recommendations of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health would essentially turn our schools into mental health clinics, resulting in a much higher percentage of children on dangerous psychiatric drugs," claims Thurman. Anyone who doubts that assessment needs only to check out the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), the "model" drugging program gushed over by the New Freedom Commission. http://www.earnedmedia.org/fmha0718.htm To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
