Recently, during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns<\/a>, TV has been saturated with advertisements for psychiatric mental health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common is Robin Meade’s “Public Service Announcement” (PSA) hustling for NAMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) was founded in 1979. It has since changed its name to National Alliance on Mental Illness<\/a>. The group has and continues to rely upon pharmaceutical funding\u2014-more than $41 million since 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAMI says it is a “grassroots mental health organization,” but falsely claims that 20% of the population are mentally ill<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NAMI’s campaign to “stop the stigma” and “end discrimination” against the mentally ill is really a pharmaceutical-funded front to sell harmful and addictive psychiatric drugs<\/a>; the “Founding Sponsors” of the campaign were Abbott Labs, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Pfizer, Novartis, SmithKline Beecham and Wyeth-Ayerst Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should know the chain of ownership that produced this NAMI PSA. Robin Meade is a news anchor at HLN TV, which is owned by CNN, which in turn is owned by WarnerMedia. The PSA was produced by WarnerMedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole purpose of this PSA, apparently, is to funnel people affected by the pandemic into the for-profit psychiatric mental health system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real NAMI<\/a> encourages you to think you are mentally ill and relentlessly pushes psychiatric drugs <\/a>and electroshock<\/a>, gets millions from Pharma, and lobbies for Pharma’s vested interests. “Grassroots” indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these are definitely uncertain times, NAMI and the mental health industry are taking advantage of people’s fears and creating a market for dangerous psychotropic drugs in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis<\/a>. One thing is certain — psychotropic drugs with their innumerable dangerous side effects<\/a> are not the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Action Now and Support CCHR.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
