The Psychiatric Epidemic - does long-term use of medication decrease the chance of recovery? This is Part 1: The Roots of the Epidemic, where Robert Whitaker guides us through the history of psychiatric medication and presents the scientific evidence that proves that the common wisdom about theses drugs is mostly based on falsehoods.

Robert Whitaker, author of "Anatomy of an Epidemic" is speaking here at PsykoVision's conference on the Psychiatric Epidemic in Copenhagen. In Part 2, Whitaker digs down deep into the research pertaining to psychiatric medication and demonstrates quite clearly that the studies paint a very different picture that the prevalent common wisdom of our day. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Misinformation? Disinformation?

Dr. Peter C. Gøtzsche is the head of the Nordic Cochrane Center. His book, "Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime" was published last year. Peter is speaking here at PsykoVision's conference on The Psychiatric Epidemic in Copenhagen.

Here, Robert Whitaker looks at the research that specifically deals with Children - especially ADHD but also so-called Bipolar Disorder. The evidence is clear: the ethics behind the use of these toxic medications on children is highly questionable.
