Over the next year, these are the eight pharmacuetical companies to watch in the news.
No, this isn't a stock market tip. Rather, this is a list of pharmaceutical companies which manufacture psychiatric drugs for ADD, depression, schizophrenia and related forms of mental illness.
They are also the ones who profit from the bio-chemical theory of modern psychiatry, which is verges on being a pseudo-science mainly because it ignores the social causes of mental illness (child abuse, child neglect, bullying and related causes).
I feel strongly that the social model of mental illness will reduce the stigma that the medical model of deficit and pathology has brought to us. Included in the medical model is the bio-chemical theory of how psychopharmaceutical drugs work.
However, without a grasp of the social model, it would be almost impossible for psychotherapy to educate the mental health consumer during therapy sessions as a vital part of proper management of symptoms and effect remission.

Glaxo Smith Kline

Merck
Novartis
Pfizer

It is up to anyone concerned about Big Pharma to research each company's involvement in lawsuits, including out of court settlements with each of them and the plaintiffs, where the companies effectively "bribed" survivors of killings and suicides related to mental illness.
If I did this for you, then you'd just take my word for it and not actively participate in monitoring Big Pharm's slippery slope in providing effective medication for mental health consumers which were actually unsafe to take.
So I ask anyone who is experience with Google to search each company's name with the keywords "murder", "suicide" and "killing".
In doing so, you will actively particpate in seeing the social cost to the People by the State in following the medical model of mental illness blindly without moderation by a reciprocal social model.
Thank you for helping me out. Please feel free to post comments.

Big Pharma and Sugar Kills More than Illegal Drugs Do
More deaths are attributable to pharmaceuticals than to illegal drugs.
Indeed, there is no epidemic of illegal drug use.
Research has shown that LSD helps autistic kids to communicate better, that MDMA in a therapeutic setting is more effective than a lifetime of psychotropic drugs for mental illness, and that marijuana is more effective in reducing the effects of anorexia than psychiatric medication.
The only reason why the Canadian Medical Association is against illegal drug decriminalization is because of the loss of profits of pĥarmaceuticals. Even the anticipated surge of drug use would not be as high as they predict.
Thus the reason illegal drugs are illegal is because Big Pharma would rather drug addicts be placed on their medications until they become dependent on psychotropics.
However, Big Pharma also provides drugs which are legitimate and more likely to kill people, when not used as directed.
Although the same logic applies to illegal drugs, legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco are used more often and have killed more people. Even the overconsumption of sugar has lead to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, which kill more people than illegal drugs.
Decriminalization of illegal drugs is better than the current system in place for the profit of the State. For drug addiction is a medical problem, and illegal drugs should be decriminalized precisely because their prohibition has only contributed to drug-related crime (home invasions and theft).
It might not look as pretty as now, but police resources are better spent reducing the harm drug abuse causes rather than perpetuating the myth that illegal drugs are more dangerous than legal ones.
