New Documentary Exposes Deadly Link Between Psychiatric Drugs and Violence

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Prescription for Violence: Psychiatry's Deadly Side Effects premieres on Scientology Network December 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) announces the release of its uncompromising new documentary, Prescription for Violence: Psychiatry's Deadly Side Effects. The two-hour exposé reveals alarming evidence connecting the rising tide of mass shootings, suicides and violent crimes with the widespread use of psychiatric drugs.

In a society where one in four Americans is currently taking psychiatric drugs—many without fully understanding the potentially lethal side effects—this groundbreaking documentary uncovers a crisis of national and global proportions. Among the side effects listed by drug manufacturers are mania, hostility, aggression, homicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Yet, the correlation between psychiatric drug use and violent behavior has been ignored for far too long.

"Psychiatrists have a drug problem," says Diane Stein, President of CCHR Florida, who is featured in the documentary. "In 86 percent of psychiatric office visits, prescriptions for psychotropic drugs like Prozac, Seroquel and Xanax are written." As these prescriptions increase, so does the violence—school shootings now occur on nearly every school day, and mass shootings average more than one per day.

Prescription for Violence presents compelling interviews with victims, investigators, attorneys, psychologists and psychiatrists who link psychiatric drugs to some of the country's most horrific tragedies—including the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting and the 2017 Las Vegas massacre.

Globally, more than 280 million people are prescribed psychiatric drugs, despite 100 regulatory warnings citing violent and suicidal behavior as side effects. This documentary aims to inform the public about the devastating impact of these drugs on individuals and society, and to drive reform in mental health through legislation, litigation and public pressure.
