TAG / SUICIDE

A broken system protected profit over children’s lives, until two May suicides finally forced action.

As a jury convicts the guilty over a young woman’s preventable death, the deeper scandal is now impossible to deny: Psychiatric “care” in Britain isn’t failing—it’s functioning exactly as designed.

The Department of Veterans Affairs partners with Big Pharma to fuel “treatment” that triggers the very suicides it claims to prevent.

Psychiatric drug side effects like akathisia are too often dismissed—until it’s too late.

The NHS spent nearly $3 billion last year outsourcing psychiatric care to for-profit private hospitals like Priory—where patients are dying from abuse, neglect and chemical restraint.

A year ago and without warning, the husband of King Charles’ second cousin shot himself in the head after taking psychotropic drugs. The fallout continues as the government makes excuses. 

Recognizing decades of coercive and abusive psychiatric “treatment,” the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights calls for urgent change.

The ease of being involuntarily committed under Florida law discourages many veterans from seeking help. Jordan Hunkin’s suicide is a too-common outcome.

The VA admits their own deficient care and wrongful use of Florida’s Baker Act in relation to Jordan Hunkin’s death. Worse, it’s far from the first time.

Even the coroner specified that the self-inflicted death was an “adverse effect” of the antidepressant the man had been prescribed. Adverse indeed—and all too preventable.
