National Plan for Universal Mental Health Screening:A Pharma Friendly Remedy for Societal Problems

In reading this presentation by Vera Sharav of the American Public Health Association covering Mental Health Screening, I am reminded of a couple of lines from a recent Bourne movie:

“The Scary Version, He Is.” – In answer to the question “Who is giving him his orders now?”

Or, “Geez, you couldn’t make this stuff up.” – a comment from the CIA Station Chief in response to a status briefing.

Well it appears that in the case of Mental Health Screening, the scary version is they are making it up as they go in what appears to be collusion with big pharma.  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! My goodness.  The real lunacy here is, regardless of the billions of dollars Psychiatry has and continues to spend to brand the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as the new holy scripture, on not even close inspection, it seems that it has absolutely no basis in fact.

No, you can’t make this stuff up – and it is the scary version.

We need Mental Health reform not Mental Health Screening that is based on made-up diseases by a group that by its own admission does not cure anything.
