This is terrible. I know the man through Youtube that is on the video
and it's a shame that people aren't questioning the practices of
psychatry more.
While tons of people are attacking Scientology... people in
psychiatric care are being physically damaged by the dangerous
medications thats known to cause tardive dyskinesia and other
dangerous effects.

What is Tardive Dyskinesia?
Tardive dyskinesia is a neurological syndrome caused by the long-term
use of neuroleptic drugs. Neuroleptic drugs are generally prescribed
for psychiatric disorders, as well as for some gastrointestinal and
neurological disorders. Tardive dyskinesia is characterized by
repetitive, involuntary, purposeless movements. Features of the
disorder may include grimacing, tongue protrusion, lip smacking,
puckering and pursing, and rapid eye blinking. Rapid movements of the
arms, legs, and trunk may also occur. Involuntary movements of the
fingers may appear as though the patient is playing an invisible
guitar or piano.
Is there any treatment?
There is no standard treatment for tardive dyskinesia. Treatment is
highly individualized. The first step is generally to stop or minimize
the use of the neuroleptic drug. However, for patients with a severe
underlying condition this may not be a feasible option. Replacing the
neuroleptic drug with substitute drugs may help some patients. Other
drugs such as benzodiazepines, adrenergic antagonists, and dopamine
agonists may also be beneficial.
What is the prognosis?
Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia may remain long after discontinuation
of neuroleptic drugs; however, with careful management, some symptoms
may improve and/or disappear with time.
What research is being done?
The NINDS conducts and supports a broad range of research on movement
disorders including tardive dyskinesia. The goals of this research are
to improve understanding of these disorders and to discover ways to
treat, prevent, and, ultimately, cure them.
