The murder of LCpl Mario Arias Jr was kept out of the media by his family because the Corps said it could have a negative effect on the trial. Now that the Corps lied about this his family is reaching out to all the media and press to make sure his story is heard.
This is very disheartening. I can’t help but wonder if these brave men have been witness to something and are being systematically silenced. Why just this administration. Is there a change in policy? RFID Chips?
My heart goes out to the families and to the brave men who bravely served their country.

Suicide Prevention starts prior to deployment.
Families need to be educated and trained in methods for both giving and receiving support. This is sorely lacking throughout the military.
Combat Buddy Programs are not enough.
Let’s not treat our new combat vets as we did our VietNam Vets.

Because violence, suicide, hallucinations, depression and heart attacks can be side effects of taking or withdrawing from various psychotropic drugs, we are providing you this information as a public service.
This report is an overview of the side effects of common psychiatric drugs and includes information on drug regulatory agency warnings, studies and other reports that may not appear in the packaging information for the drugs. For further information consult the Physicians’ Desk Reference, which can be found at: http://www.pdrhealth.com.
It could be dangerous to immediately cease taking psychiatric drugs because of potential significant withdrawal side effects. No one should stop taking any psychiatric drug without the advice and assistance of a competent medical doctor.
Side effects (also called “adverse reactions”) are the body’s natural response to having a chemical disrupt its normal functioning. One could also say that there are no drug side effects, these adverse reactions are actually the drug’s real effects; some of these effects just happen to be unwanted.
For the first time the side effects of psychiatric drugs that have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by doctors, pharmacists, other health care providers and consumers have been decrypted from the FDA’s MedWatch system and been made available to the public in an easy to search psychiatric drug side effects database and search engine: http://www.cchrint.org/psychdrugdangers.
This database is provided as a free public service by the mental health watchdog, Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR).
Note also that a major part of the treatment for prison inmates (used less for rehabilitation than for managing and disciplining inmates) is a regimen of powerful psychiatric drugs, despite numerous studies showing that aggression and violence are tied to their use.
CCHR does not offer medical advice or referrals. The information in this publication is offered as a public service. Some of the brand names of drugs included relate to countries outside of the United States.
The Side Effects of Common Psychiatric Drugs report is available for free download by clicking here: http://www.cchrstl.org/sideeffects.shtml
Report any adverse psychiatric drug effects to the FDA’s MedWatch program at: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/.
Let CCHR know how this publication has been useful for you.

Psychiatry, Psychology and their DSM Classification System is responsible for our “Injured Warriors” not wishing to be shamed, labeled and drugged for life with this disease called DISORDER. It is not their fault and they are blamed for this whole body-mind injury…our Warriors lose hope for recovery without being offered intensive, extensive integrative & holistic health practices. Visit our website that describes many options and opportunities for restoration, recovery and resilience. http://jerryvestinjuredwarrior.com
