STAGE ONE A person who has been on Powerful
psychiatric tranquilizes such asThorazine
Holopericdol, Prolixin, or any of many others only a short
time, may find himself thrown into a drug-induced psychotic state when he stops taking the drugs. This
state, which lasts only a few days, is often
interpreted by psychiatrists as are lapse and used as an excuse to force the person back onto the drug.
This is the first stage of a mental derangement
which,according to theory, results from a structural
alteration of the brain caused by the drugs.

STAGE TWO As the person continues to ingest the
psychiatric drug his brain can undergo extensive damage
without his knowing it. The powerful mind-altering effects
of the drug camouflage structural derangements
which are occurring. Only after the person comes off the
drug does the created psychosis of this,second stage
become visible, but at this point it may be too late. The
drug induced insanity has alreadly become
persistent, and in some cases may even irreversible.

STAGE THREE The person,not realising that his
brain is being destroyed by the psychiatric drug,will
likely continue regularly ingesting it.
If the damage caused by the drug proceeds into the third
stage, psychotic symptoms will pierce the straight
jacketing effects of the drug and throw the victim into an
overt psychosis while he is on the drug. At this point,"in
mostcases"the poor soul is doomed to suffer psychotic
symptoms entirely created by psychiatric drugs for the
rest of his life
