Psychiatrists are Ruining Lives with Snap Diagnosis

Thu, 16 Feb 2023 15:01:17 -0500

Today Tom is joined by local author Charles Ead, who wrote a Riveting and Explosive book called Snap Diagnosis. Charles is here to expose the psychiatric field and it’s abuses of power. Charles explains his story of being taken from his home against his will and having his rights taken away by the order of a psychiatrist. The book shares his story and other horror stories of men and women around the country that have faced the same injustices.

Snap Diagnosis:

As the law presently stands in a majority of states, a psychiatrist has complete authority to order an individual into custody without a warrant, without review by peers, without even seeing the person, and often without any more justification than a second-hand report that someone is behaving in an undesirable manner. Horror stories abound of men and women whose homes are invaded and who are thrown to the floor and literally dragged out their doors by police. As you will see, this same dynamic tragically played itself out in Charles' ordeal as well.
