The Hoax of "Chemical Imbalance"

Through massive promotion and
marketing campaigns, psychiatric drugs
are increasingly prescribed as the panacea
for life's inevitable crises and challenges.
Psychiatry's most recent campaign is the
much touted theory of the "chemical
imbalance" in the brain, or
"neurobiological disorder."
Psychiatrist David Kaiser is unequivocal
about the lie of neurobiological disorder.
In 1996, he stated:
... modern psychiatry has yet to
convincingly prove the
genetic/biological cause of
any single mental illness...

Patients [have] been diagnosed with
"chemical imbalances" despite the fact that
no test exists to support such a claim, and ...
there is no real conception of what a correct
chemical balance would look like.
When this pitch is successfully used to
secure the cooperation of unwitting
parents it establishes a dangerous
precedent.
