“Nobody told me that these drugs can cause serious physical health problems.” “Disable sexual function.” “Worsen emotional distress and cognition.” “And in some cases, increase suicidal thoughts.” This shocking testimony will change your entire perspective on the “mental health crisis.” Laura Delano was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 13. She was told she would need meds for the rest of her life. From that point on, her list of diagnoses grew longer and longer. “2 meds became 3, 4, 5.” But her life didn’t improve. In fact, the exact opposite happened. “My life unraveled.” “I gained 70 pounds.” “Developed chronic health issues.” “Was constantly exhausted.” “And became increasingly anxious and suicidal.” “Nobody told me that the medications I’d been on for years were approved by the FDA based on clinical trials lasting, on average, 6-12 weeks.” “Or that the safety and efficacy of taking multiple psychiatric drugs at once has never been properly established.” “Nobody told me that what I experienced whenever I missed a dose or tried to stop a med was withdrawal symptoms—not a return of an underlying condition.” Her terrible experience with the mental health industry drove her to a suicide attempt. Then, she questioned everything she thought she knew about the “mental health crisis” in America. “23.4% of American adults, 61.5 million people, have a psychiatric diagnosis, including 1 in 3 young adults.” “Suicide rates in adults increased 35% from 1999 to 2018.” “From 2007 to 2021, the suicide rate among youth aged 10 to 24 increased by 62%.” “The suicide rate among children ages 10 to 14, more than tripled from 2007 to 2018.” “In 2023, nearly 50,000 Americans died by suicide, the highest number ever recorded.” “At the same time… more Americans than ever are receiving mental health treatment.” “Approximately 61 million adults and 4 million adolescents are now taking psychiatric medications.” “The financial costs are staggering.” “In 2023 alone, Medicare and Medicaid combined spent $36.6 billion on psychiatric drugs.” “That’s $335 billion over the past decade—with no measurable population-level improvement in mental health.” “What if our nation’s mental health crisis is in significant part a crisis of unintended consequences of treatment-caused harm misread as illness, generating more treatment, more disability, and more despair?” Now, countless victims of this crisis of over-medicalization are coming forward to reveal that nobody told them about the harms of psychiatric medication.
