Buy: Obedience Pills

Obedience Pills: ADHD and the Medicalization of Childhood Every day across this great land of ours, children are swallowing pills for something called “Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” Once upon a time, the mass drugging of children was the subject of spirited debate, but that controversy seems for the most part to have died down. The goal of this book is to re-ignite that controversy.

“An outstanding and painstakingly researched treatise on ADHD… It should be in every pediatrician’s office and in every graduate student’s library.”
Michelle Barrett, M. Ed., Founder, Del Dios Counseling Services

“A must-read for anyone currently living with a diagnosis of ADHD.” Bruce Cohen, University of Auckland

El Naufragio de lo Singular

October 30, 2021 by Samizdat Health

Comprar: El Naufragio de lo Singular

La esperanza de vida en Occidente lleva descendiendo desde 2015. Unido a esto, el clima de la atención sanitaria se ha vuelto tóxico. Esta crisis, tan urgente como el cambio climático global, tiene sus raíces en los mismos factores que impulsan dicho cambio.

El Naufragio de lo Singular examina nuestro entorno cambiante a través de una lente sanitaria y no económica. Una de las ventajas de esto, es que cada una de nosotras está mejor situada para corregir lo que va mal en el clima sanitario que para abordar el clima global. Al abordar lo que hay que cambiar en salud, podemos resolver nuestra crisis climática más amplia.

Buy: The Zyprexa Papers

In The Zyprexa Papers, Author Jim Gottstein gives a riveting first-hand account of what really happened, including new details about how a small group of psychiatric survivors spread the Zyprexa Papers on the Internet untraceably. All of this within a gripping, plain-language explanation of complex legal maneuvering and his battles on behalf of Bill Bigley, the psychiatric patient whose ordeal made possible the exposure of the Zyprexa Papers. The hardcover edition of The Zyprexa Papers will be published June 1, 2021.

Shipwreck of the Singular

Shipwreck of the Singular

February 1, 2021 by Samizdat Health Leave a Comment

Buy: Shipwreck of the Singular

Shipwreck of the Singular looks at our changing environment through a healthcare lens rather than an economic one. One advantage to this is that each of us are better placed to put right what is going wrong in the climate of healthcare than we are to tackle the global climate. In tackling what needs changing in health, we may solve our wider climate crisis.

This book does not come with recommendations from people of distinction, or experts who have turned a blind eye to developments that have landed us in the mess we now have.

The people best placed to grasp what is going wrong and force our ‘betters’ to justify the distinctions that have been bestowed on them are those whose lives have been touched by what is going wrong in healthcare.

Shipwreck shows you how we got to the point of peril we are now at. It points to a Care that needs courage. A book won’t get us there. It needs you to engage and engage others.

Prescription for Sorrow

Buy: Prescription for Sorrow

One could scarcely have been alive and conscious anywhere in the Western world any time in the past twenty-five years and not have been aware of a raging controversy surrounding antidepressants, suicide, and violence—a controversy that shows no sign of abating. During that same period, prescriptions for antidepressants have skyrocketed. So what is the story?

Children of the Cure

Buy: Children of the Cure

Children of the Cure tells the story of the only Medical Study that has two publications in the academic literature—telling precisely the opposite story—and how no one is bothered by this. Study 329 was a clinical study that began in 1994 giving a new antidepressant to teenagers. It has become the most famous clinical trial ever, leading to a fraud charge, a $3 billion fine, and a Black Box Warning.

Shocking… A Must-Read for Anyone with ADHD

April 30, 2022 by Billiam James Leave a Comment

“Obedience Pills recounts the shocking story of psychiatry’s abandonment of scientific evidence in favor of professional power and profit. As expertly discussed here by Patrick Hahn, the bizarre transition from some musings on youth morality in the nineteenth century to the current drugging of millions of kids with highly dangerous substances for a non-existent condition would be almost laughable if it wasn’t so utterly tragic and devastating for so many young people and their families. A must-read for anyone currently living with or considering a diagnosis of ‘ADHD’.”

It was just a normal day…

September 30, 2021 by Samizdat Health Leave a Comment

Writer’s Digest called “It was a dark and stormy night” “the literary posterchild for bad story starters.” Wikipedia says, “It was a dark and stormy night” is an often-mocked and parodied phrase considered to represent “the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style of fiction writing.”
