The Stacked Deck against Scientific Realities Denting Brain-Defect Mythology
(1) Pharmaceutical companies.
(2) Mainstream Media.
(3) Drug prescribers and psychiatrist “thought leaders.”
(4) Mental illness institutions such as the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and so-called “patient advocacy” groups such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) have received funding from Big Pharma.
(5) Researchers who are funded to do biochemical-electrical research.
(6) Those atop the societal hierarchy who obviously prefer retaining the social-economic-political status quo, and who know that if a population believes its emotional suffering is caused not by social-economic-political variables but instead by neurobiological defects, this belief system can be a more powerful and less expensive way of maintaining the status quo than a heavily armed police force.
