A Cluster of Veterans' Deaths; By Fred A. Baughman Jr., MDJune 20, 2008

EL CAJON, Calif., June 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently four Charleston, WV-area

veterans -- Derek Johnson, 22, Andrew White, 23, Eric Layne, 29, and

Nicholas Endicott, with " Post Traumatic Stress Disorder " (PTSD), treated

with the Paxil, Klonopin, and Seroquel -- died in their sleep. All were said

to be in good health. (Julie Robinson, Charleston Gazette, May 24, 2008).

In a democracy, we have a right to " informed consent. " Physicians have a

legal obligation to tell us the facts regarding (1) diagnosis and (2)

treatment. Regarding diagnosis: Is there a disease or isn't there? Which

disease? If there is no disease, that leaves emotional or

psychological. Regarding

treatment, physicians have a duty to tell us the facts, about all available

treatments, not just the treatment they prefer. The choice is ours. This is

informed consent.

Were these veterans and their families told by their psychiatrists that

PTSD, bipolar disorder, clinical depression and other mythical psychiatric

" diagnoses " are " disorders, " " diseases, " or " chemical imbalances " of the

brain? Were these the reasons, according to their psychiatrists, that they

needed psychiatric drugs? If they were told this to gain their " informed

consent " to treat, then they were lied to, and their right to informed

consent was denied.

In fact, there is no such thing in the annals of medicine as a psychiatric

disease. In 1948 neurology and psychiatry were made into separate

specialties -- neurology to deal with actual diseases, such as multiple

sclerosis, brain tumors, epilepsy, etc. -- and psychiatry to deal with

emotional and behavioral problems, none actual medical diseases.

By definition, the terms " disorder " and " disease " mean an objective physical

abnormality is present. Never the case in psychiatry. And yet it is standard

practice in psychiatry today, to tell patients they have " chemical

imbalances " of the brain; " chemical imbalances " needing " chemical balancers "

-- pills.

In the DSM-IV, of the American Psychiatric Association (Introduction, page

xxi, Definition of Mental Disorder), we read: " Although this volume is

titled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the term

mental disorder unfortunately implies a distinction between 'mental'

disorders and 'physical' disorders that is a reductionistic anachronism of

mind/body dualism. A compelling literature documents that there is much

'physical' in 'mental' disorders and much 'mental' in 'physical' disorders. "

Here, the APA, unabashedly claims that psychiatric diagnoses are as much

diseases as those in all other medical specialties. Saying a " compelling

literature " makes it so, they reference not a single proof in the

medical-scientific literature, making a single psychiatric entity an actual

disease.

Because psychiatric diagnoses are not actual diseases, they must be

psychological or psychiatric, not medical. This means they could not cause

physical complications including death.

On the other hand, all drugs, even penicillin, are exogenous chemicals, and

are poisons. The pivotal question in medicine is: Are they more helpful than

harmful? Of the drugs the four veterans were on, the

antipsychotic,Seroquel, is the most toxic.

All antipsychotics carry this ominous black box warning: " Elderly patients

with dementia-related psychosis are at an increased risk of death. "

" Warnings/Precautions " include: " neuroleptic-malignant syndrome " (usually

fatal), " tardive dyskinesia " (permanent, grotesque, movements of the face,

tongue, head, neck and body), " cerebrovascular events " " cardiovascular

events, " " diabetes, " " obesity, " " gynecomastia " (male breast development

needing mastectomy), " suicidal tendencies, " " impaired temperature control, "

" dysphagia " (trouble swallowing), " aspiration pneumonia, " and " death. " Nor

are the other two drugs -- Paxil and Klonopin without their own long lists

of side effects. The more drugs given simultaneously, the less the science

and the greater the risks of injury and death. Only in psychiatry do

patients end up with multiple " diagnoses " (none of them diseases), on

multiple drugs.

" I want to know the cause of death, " said Ray Johnson, Derek Johnson's

father. " Stacie said he was fine. Everything was normal. He kissed her

goodnight and went to sleep. " All that is certain, he never woke up.

Because there is no such thing as a psychiatric disease, none of the

veterans mentioned in this article could possibly have died from a

psychiatric " disease. " By process of elimination, it can be assumed that

they may have died from their drugs; from their " treatments " for diseases

that do not exist.

Their loved ones should begin their painful quest for justice by writing the

president of the APA, Dr. Carolyn Robinowitz, (American Psychiatric

Association, 1000 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1825, Arlington, VA 22209) and, to

the current director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Dr. Thomas

Insel, (National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 6001 Executive

Boulevard, Room 8184, MSC 9663, Bethesda, MD 20892-9663) and ask them for

proof that PTSD or any of their psychiatric diagnoses or " disorders " are

actual diseases, having, as they must a confirming, objective, physical

abnormality, gross (visible to the naked eye), microscopic -- as in a Pap

smear or biopsy, or, chemical -- as in the chemical abnormalities of

diabetes, galactosemia, gout or phenyketonuria. I suggest they do this now,

copying their US Repreresentative, their own US Senator, Jay Rockefeller,

D-WV, and Senator Charles Grassley, R-IA.
