The Role of Psychiatry in Nazi Germany and the U. S. Violence Initiative #DrugsOfYouth  

I became aware of this murder of psychiatric patients from a book called "The Nazi Doctors" way back in the early 1990s.  Psychiatry has a long history of working for the state to control, punish and otherwise silence "inconvenient" people.  It continues today.

Most psychiatric drugs can cause withdrawal reactions, sometimes including life-threatening emotional and physical withdrawal problems. In short, it is not only dangerous to start taking psychiatric drugs, it can also be dangerous to stop them. Withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done carefully under experienced clinical supervision

This is one of the most spirited and yet heavily documented talks that Dr. Peter Breggin has ever given. It may be one of the most interesting and important talks that you will ever see and hear. Dr. Breggin was unaware of the existence of the video until very recently. 
The talk was presented in Harlem in the early 1990s at a time when Dr. Breggin was blowing the whistle on and conducting a campaign against the racist eugenic program commonly known as the Federal Violence Initiative. In his filmed speech, Dr. Breggin begins by describing the roots of biological, genetic and racist psychiatry in Nazi Germany.  He tells the grim history of how the organized murder of Germany’s mental patients became the entering wedge for the broader Holocaust.  He also shows how the American Psychiatric Association supported the killing of retarded children in the United States. These historical facts, which had never before been presented in America, are covered in Part I of the video of his talk: Psychiatric Totalitarianism and the Role of Psychiatry in Nazi Germany.    
In recounting and documenting the tragic events in Nazi Germany and the near tragic events in the United States in the early 1990s, this extraordinary video confirms the need for eternal vigilance against the extremes of biological and genetic psychiatry.
