A university investigation concluded she falsified data to cover up the misconduct, according to documents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She resigned from UIC effective June 30&#8221;, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She plans to open a treatment center, called the Brain and Wellness Institute, in Lincoln Park, according to a website.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>De-registered, even criminally charged and jailed psychiatric professionals can skip states, even countries and continue practicing. Some of the most infamous mental health criminals continue to &#8220;care&#8221; for the most vulnerable in society by simply changing offices, cities or countries.<\/p>\n<p>Crime and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/fraud.shtml\">fraud in the mental health industry<\/a> is rampant. Psychiatric and psychological professional associations do not police ethical breaches, violations of law or criminality in their ranks. For these reasons, Citizens Commission on Human Rights developed a database that lists people in the mental health industry who have been criminally charged, convicted and\/or sentenced as well as those who have been investigated and charged by state health care licensing boards.<\/p>\n<p>Using this database at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychcrime.org\/\">http:\/\/www.psychcrime.org\/<\/a>, members of the public, government agencies and others can track disciplinary or criminal cases, and verify whether a mental health practitioner has existing charges, and the result of prior charges including criminal or disciplinary records or convictions.<\/p>\n<p>You can also consult the world&#8217;s largest collection of records on criminal and fraudulent psychiatrists at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.psychsearch.net\/\">PsychSearch.net<\/a>, and file a complaint against one.<\/p>\n<p>After 69 years in business, and tens-of-billions-of-dollars appropriated, the research produced at NIMH has failed to identify a single biological cause of even one alleged psychiatric mental disorder. Instead, NIMH&#8217;s sister organization the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/wordpress\/2017\/04\/17\/1-in-5-mentally-ill-dont-believe-it-2\/\">fake news that 1 in 5 U.S. citizens are mentally ill<\/a>, since they cannot prove it otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0 cornerstone of psychiatry&#8217;s disease model today, is the concept that a brain-based, chemical imbalance underlies mental disease. While popularized by heavy public marketing, it is simply fanciful psychiatric thinking. As with all of psychiatry&#8217;s disease models, it has been thoroughly discredited by competent researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t credit the hype &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cchrstl.org\/\">Find Out!
