Please join us to hear a fascinating account of the history of mental illness

and the intervention strategies promoted by the drug industry and society.

Despite the fact that psychiatry has introduced 'wonder drugs' like Prozac and

Zoloft and Zyprexa, why is the incidence of severely debilitating forms of

mental illness going up dramatically? This type of provocative question among

others, will be addressed as we seek to Bring fact-based Light Into the Darkness

surrounding the war on " Mental Illness " since the turn of the 1900s.
