Australia would be better off politivally arming the general public at government expense to defend their laws and discontinuing Psychotropic (mind drugs) and mental health services.

Have you kept up with the problems of the intrusion of the mental health and counseling industry in Australia and the drugging of its people including children? Just last year a mental health-worker was shot to death and there have been lots of threats against the MHC and two incidences of violence. It looks like it's going to get worse for an industry that landed on their shore just a few years ago.

1. Interesting that you could only answer my question with another question Human Spirit.

I have read some things about the medical and social service fields there in Australia along with other countries.

2. It's sad to state that killings do take place in many environments throughtout the world. It happens everyday in the United States as it takes place in other countries.

And "YES," there are medical personnel who really screw up with misdiagnosis and mismanagement of medications.

But, there are far more personnel who actually endeaver to provide accurate medical treatment and medications.

In our society today we have execlant, good, fair, and bad practicianers in the medical field along with many other professions. That hasn't changed throughout our history on this planet.

3. I doubt very seriously that this industry has just landed on the shores of Australia during the last few years.

I can agree that it could get worse only if any government doesn't take the medical and pharmeceutical companies into account, thus enforcing them to moer appropriate standards.

This is where the citizens of any country need to contact their political leaders and hold them accountable as well. But, many people don't even have the inclination in doing this.

What solution(s) would you suggest they utilize in helping their citizens with mental health problems?

Cheers Human Spirit

Mental health has a history of self serving a political cause. They are a danger today as much as they were during WWII and Nazi Germany.

Well I see that once again you have evaded my question to you Human Spirit along with side stepping to other issues and topics.

I would enjoy a public debate with you anytime in front of everyone in your home town. Or is it that you isolate yourself at home and only play on the computer.

Get rid of (unfund) the mental health and counseling industry by 85 percent and do away with psychotropic (mind) drugs. Is there any other way? The whole profession is untruthful.

The profession as other professions out there has problems. Getting rid of it doesn't provide a solution. Enforcing clinicians to practice more appropriately is only one solution. Helping people change from stereotypical thinking to thinking in reality is one other solution.

Cheers
