Mental Health Agencies Prey on the Vulnerable

Many of these agencies are private corporations funded by levels of government according to quotas. The salaries of the employees can be staggering – many over $100,000, $200,000 with benefits and retirement packages.

If your child ever says – “I want to end it all” or “I had a dream I killed myself”,  the child will be involuntarily committed. No community worker will risk having a suicide on their hands. Parents lose their children at that point. It would be medical neglect to oppose psychiatric treatment which includes dangerous drugs, shock and brain tampering.

As a doctor’s wife in Toronto, I have been called upon to handle many tragic situations. Two years ago, an elderly lady came to our clinic. She was very frail in body but robust in spirit and hopping mad. A “community care worker” told her to go to the hospital for a check up. When she arrived at the hospital, she was involuntarily committed to the psychiatric ward for a month. She had not even brought her toothbrush.

In my experience, intake workers often misrepresent people’s situations on assessment forms to make them dependents of the “community partner.”  Don’t be fooled by the misuse of the word “community”. They are profit-driven entities with tremendous power to make you their “partner”. These are usually elaborate marketing schemes for psychiatric drugs.
