In this page you'll find links to articles and critical documents on biological-psychiatry. Biological-psychiatry's official theory describes psychological or personal problems as having a biological origin caused by genetic or chemical 'imbalances' to be corrected by drugs and other interventions like Electro-Convulsive Therapy [ECT] or insulin shock. These widely used but controversial methods in official medicine have been for many years amply invalidated, showing clearly that they are absolutely unscientific, that they tend to alienate patient's rights, are unable to solve the problems presented, are dangerous for one's health, and are submissive to pharmaceutical companies. The need for a drastic reduction in the power of the medical-chemical-industrial lobby is an important task to ensure that all people have the right to positive mental health, and to re-direct science's energies towards therapeutic practices which are focused upon the social and familial systems which are generating the personal suffering, instead of upon erroneous and misguided efforts to eliminate symptoms of social distress generated in individuals.

Against Prozac - The decision in family’s lawsuit against Prozac rests with jury. The family blames the popular antidepressant for a murder-suicide.

Below is the time-line presented to the jury in the Forsyth v. Eli Lilly Trial. It was presented during closing arguments by the plaintiffs. It lists Lilly's internal documents. The plaintiffs allege that it shows that Lilly knew about Prozac-induced suicidality and violence (even before Prozac was approved for marketing in the United States) and that this was withheld from the public.
March 4, 1999 - Press Release - The Federal Court Jury in Forsyth v. Eli Lilly heard opening arguments today. The case involves the March 4, 1993, homicide/suicide of June Forsyth and Bill Forsyth, Sr. Bill Sr. had been taking Prozac for ten days when he killed his wife and himself. In arguments which lasted over one hour per side, the lawyers for each side gave their overview of the evidence. Forsyth counsel, Andy Vickery, gave the jury a lengthy chronology about the potential relationship between serotonin and suicide, and suggested that Prozac, which impacts on the body's serotonergic system, can cause a percentage of people to become violent or suicidal, that Lilly knew this, and that it failed to warn American physicians.

For detailed information concerning plaintiffs allegations against Eli Lilly see http://justiceseekers.com/prozacinfo.htm
On this page you will see a complaint for the Christian case which allegations against Eli Lilly are identical to those of the Forsyths'.
