*WARNING!

When trying to withdraw from many psychiatric drugs, patients can develop serious and even life-threatening emotional and physical reactions. In short, it is dangerous not only to start taking psychiatric drugs, but it also can be hazardous to stop taking them. Therefore, withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done only under clinical supervision. Principles of drug withdrawal are discussed in, Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking Psychiatric Medications by Peter R. Breggin, MD, and David Cohen, PhD. More information is available at http://www.breggin.com.

To the millions of people tortured, maimed, and killed by psychiatry and those still struggling without hope

A world cured of mental illness is a world reflecting the unconditional love of God, a world of equally worthy people living in heaven on earth, solving problems, freed of superiors, inferiors, alcoholism, drugging, crime, and war.

Foreword

By Gwen Olsen, Author of Confessions of an RX Drug Pusher

Surviving psychiatry is a remarkable feat in and of itself. The brutal treatments used in psychiatry can leave one—if not dead—not only physically disabled, but psychologically debilitated as well. The author, Clover Greene, has not only survived many years of psychiatric treatment, but she has spiritually transcended the experience and provides others a pathway of hope for escape and recovery through her work. Clover’s story is a powerful testimony to the resilience of the human spirit and the unparalleled healing power of love, even when the psyche and body are brutally traumatized.

Many will question the validity of Clover’s observations herein simply because of the labels given to her by authorities in an industry comprised of demoralization . . . but I know the truth of which she speaks in a most intimate fashion because I have also seen the deliberate destruction of the human body and mind by psychiatry. As a former drug representative who received fifteen years of indoctrination and dogmatic training by Big Pharma, I was personally culpable in assisting in the dissemination of misinformation campaigns directed at medical prescribers and consumers of psychiatric drugs.

As a patient, I have suffered both the hellish effects of physical addiction and protracted withdrawal from psychotropic drugs. Drugs were prescribed to me to ameliorate mild symptoms that significantly worsened over a short period of time with treatment. Eventually, doctors added more and more drugs to manage the unwanted side effects, which impaired my cognitive function as well as damaged my memory.

As a volunteer child advocate working in the Texas state foster care system, I saw the blatant corruption of government agencies by the pharmaceutical industry’s direct influence and tried to help the vulnerable, young victims they claimed—children who were often snatched from the clutches of their dysfunctional parents and delivered into the hands of profiteers for treatment with psychiatric drugs via Child Protective Services (CPS).

And finally, having survived a young niece who burned herself alive attempting to withdraw from a cocktail of psychiatric drugs and as a writer/researcher who has researched and written numerous books and articles on this subject matter since her passing, I have become a voice of truth and opposition to psychiatric drugging. I, along with others like Clover, continue to educate parents and caretakers on the agendas of the pharmaceutical companies and to sound the alarm about the real dangers of psychiatric drugs being forced upon our population in the name of treatment.

Clover Smith Greene is an inspiration to many, but especially so to me. She embodies the qualities of grace, compassion, and forgiveness, beautifully teaching us that we can not only transform ourselves through love . . . but we can also transform our world!

Author’s Notes

Name Changes

My name changes in my autobiography as my name changed in my life. A woman in twelve steps said to me, You are green and growing, with little, white, joy laughter blossoms, a comfort to others. Your name ought to be Clover. Later, I legally changed my name to Clover. Even later, I married Richard Mills Greene, to whom I am still married. I have not used the real names of any other persons or places. All incidents may not be remembered in the exact order in which they occurred, nor is the horror transferable into precise words.

Non-Gender Wording/Spelling

I used non-gender wording/spelling where appropriate.

Hse = he, she, him, her, his, himself, herself.

Night Shades

We rehearsed well

Our defaulted roles

You the exulted psychiatrist

I the nothing

Equals cast into hierarchy

Conditioned and addicted

We followed the script

Of our stuck on labels

You cold and arrogant

Double crossing your eyes

Zapping zap zaps

And colored pills of poison

Judged as worthless

Condemned and agonized

I and my eyes cast down

Into the Nazi throwback

Nightshade solution

Practiced in blindness

You just couldn’t see

Our faces were the same

The face of a human

Psychiatry: Terror Cures Fear

Psychiatry’s dysfunctioning of the brain with electricity and drugs guarantee the person cannot develop hse adult mind—and developing one’s adult mind is the cure of mental illness

Terror acts powerfully upon the body, through the medium of the mind, and should be employed in the cure of madness. Fear accompanied with pain and the sense of shame has sometimes cured the disease.

This quotation is from Medical Inquiries and Observations, Upon the Diseases of the Mind, written in 1818 by Dr. Benjamin Rush, father of American psychiatry and the first president of the APA, whose face appears on the official seal of the American Psychiatric Association. Rush advocated and practiced terror by designing and using the straitjacket, the tranquilizer chair, and fear of death.

Between 1950 and 1964, more people died in United States federal, state, and county ‘mental institutions’ than the number of Americans killed in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War combined. This quotation comes from the 1995 Funk & Wagnalls World Almanac and Book of Facts (p. 163).

Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for more than 1% of all deaths. An additional 500,000 Americans attempt suicide annually. The total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is nearly 800,000 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251. Gary Null and associates wrote this in Death by Medicine" By Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD. http://curingmentalillness.org/toppling_psychiatry.asp

About ECT, Electric Convulsive Terror

Just like after any horror too horrible to be real, electric shock, known as electric convulsive terror, causes PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. In PTSD, a person experiences hysterical amnesia, only dimly remembering having been there but none of the details. The person eats and sleeps in a
