Missouri State Department of Mental Health
The budget keeps getting bigger, but the cures stay at zero
Reports show that:
* 10% to 25% of mental health practitioners sexually abuse patients.
* Psychiatry has the worst fraud track record of all medical disciplines.
* An estimated $20-$40 billion is defrauded in the mental health industry in any given year.

Missouri Department of Mental Health 2013 budget — over $1.6 billion; and this does not include mental health services provided by other state departments such as Health and Senior Services, Elementary and Secondary Education, Corrections, and Social Services.
Over 100 million people worldwide are taking psychiatric drugs right now.
Psychiatric drugs do not improve academic performance. The National Institutes of Health reports “there is little improvement in academic achievement or social skills” by children taking stimulant drugs.
Every 75 seconds another citizen is incarcerated by psychiatry.
The top five psychiatric drugs combined gross more money than the gross national product of each of over half the countries on Earth.
Every Missouri citizen gives the Department of Mental Health $267 per year to abuse their neighbors.
The largest and fastest growing source of funds for the Missouri Department of Mental Health is the U.S. federal government, amounting to nearly $900 million this year.
20 million children worldwide take psychiatric drugs daily, 9 million of those in the U.S. These drugs potentially cause violent behavior, psychosis, hallucinations, strokes, heart attacks, obesity, life-threatening diabetes and even suicide.
Giving more tax dollars to the Department of Mental Health merely perpetuates the cycle of state tax largesse. Curtailing and cutting the budget will force the Department of Mental Health to reduce their costs, thereby forcing useless and unnecessary state institutions either to improve their services or close shop.
Increasing the Department of Mental Health’s budget covers expensive and debatable psychiatric drugs as necessary medical costs. Many international warnings have been issued on the harmful side effects of various psychiatric drugs, which include suicide, violence, addiction, liver damage, and heart attacks.
The Department of Mental Health is also an easy place to cut spending in the long, difficult effort to save our health-care system, as the citizens of this state have long used the Department of Mental health as an emergency health care provider. The unprecedented use of Missouri’s Mental Health psychiatric facilities as emergency health care has hidden a long overlooked problem that the state’s poorer citizens are enduring.
The Department of Mental Health’s motto should be “We care for those who cannot care for themselves”; not “We want to care for all.”
Contact your local, state and federal officials and representatives and let them know what you think about the insane bloat of budgets for psychiatric mental health care that promote fraud and patient abuse.
