Behavioral Health Industry Exploits Untracked Psychiatric Medications with Telehealth on HHS Website

We are living in a world where children are prescribed mind-altering drugs at alarming rates, but no one tracks the consequences. This isn’t dystopian fiction—it’s happening today. As telehealth surges and is promoted by the US government, the behavioral health industry profits from prescribing dangerous psychiatric drugs to minors without accountability, while families remain powerless to report harms. The consequences of this unchecked industry are stark: systemic failures are now directly infringing on the basic human rights of children.

Every child has the right to protected from harm. Yet the U.S. government does not monitor how many children receive psychiatric drugs via telehealth, despite evidence of widespread off-label use. Adverse reactions like suicidal thoughts, weight gain, or diabetes are underreported, leaving families unaware of risks. Parents often aren’t told that medications are prescribed “off-label” (without FDA approval for children), violating their right to make informed choices. Studies show 55% of children experience serious side effects from antidepressants or antipsychotics, yet fewer than 1% of these cases are reported to systems like MEDWATCH. Without data, families can’t advocate for safer care. Despite the lack of safety protocols, the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) features it on their website. Maybe the new secretary of the health & human services is unaware of the unequal access that is provided to the industry rather than to consumers on the website via telehealth. It is time for Secretary Kennedy to act by highlighting access to the critical MedWatch drug safety program for the consumers on the HHS website. It is time to demand collection of the appropriate data relating to mind altering psychiatric drugs.

Opioid Settlement Fuels The Psychiatric Industry, Right Back to Big Pharma

The Opioid Settlement Big Money, Big Business No Drug Safety Funded

In a shocking deep dive, billions of dollars from opioid settlements appear to be strategically redirected back into the pockets of pharmaceutical giants and the behavioral health – psychiatric industry. The settlements, now totaling a staggering $56.9 billion, were meant to address the devastating opioid crisis, but there’s a disturbing lack of oversight on how this money is spent.

At least 70% of the settlement funds must go towards “opioid remediation efforts,” including expanding access to addiction treatments. Here’s the kicker, many of these treatments are psychiatric medications produced by the very same pharmaceutical companies involved in the opioid crisis and will be used on the prison population and mental health courts, which fuels the psychiatric drug and behavioral health industry. Many psychiatric drugs carry blackbox suicide warnings and other deadly side effects. The psychiatric and behavioral health industry must label you in order to qualify for these dangerous unproven solutions. A win/win for the both mega industries.

AbleChild has been closely following the FBI investigation into the parents of Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old dead suspect in the attempted assassination of President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, July 13, 2024. Despite no lawsuits or legal actions filed against the Crooks family, the parents have retained Quinn Logue, a high-profile Pittsburgh law firm, raising questions about their involvement and prompting President Trump to call for deeper scrutiny. The FBI is investigating whether Matthew and Mary Crooks had prior knowledge of their son’s plans. How is that going?

Newly confirmed Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy, Jr., has been assigned the chair of the newly established Make America Healthy Again Commission and, apparently, antidepressants will finally get a much-needed review.

Specifically, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) long have been the antidepressant “treatment” of choice for numerous alleged mental disorders. That’s right…” alleged.” Let’s just get it straight at the beginning so there’s no mistake about what is and is not being “treated.”

There is no science to support any objective, confirmable abnormality, that is any psychiatric diagnosis. That does not mean that people do not experience depression, anxiety, high and lows, etc. It simply means that psychiatric diagnosing is completely subjective, making it difficult, if not impossible, to realistically “treat” a non-existing abnormality. What is being “treated” is a behavior, which is exactly what psychiatry studies…behaviors. Neurologists, not psychiatrists, study diseases (abnormalities) of the brain.

Kennedy’s Wellness Farms: Potential Home for “Exit Plans” from Psychiatric Medications

Donald Trump’s recently confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has some novel ideas about how to handle a host of medical issues including vaccines, prescription drugs and even addiction. It is his ideas about treating addiction that some might find extravagant, but others find a welcome answer to an on-going “crisis.”

As a recovered alcoholic and addict, Kennedy brings a personal and unique qualification to the job. Personally familiar with cocaine and heroin addiction, Kennedy believes there is another way to treat addiction and would use tax revenue from another recreational mind-altering drug to fund what he calls “Wellness Farms.”

Let’s call it a psychiatric reckoning. Massachusetts nurse and mother, will have her day in court in January of 2026. Clancy killed her three small children in January of 2023 and tried to commit suicide by jumping out of the second-floor window of her Duxbury home.

The paralyzed Clancy, along with her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is fighting the three counts of premeditated murder charges the state has filed. And so, she should. Let’s be frank. Linsay Clancy had no reason to kill her children until she was provided psychiatric “assistance.”

According to records, Lindsay was experiencing “anxiety” about returning to work after the birth of her third child. Clancy sought help from “virtual therapy sessions” and was prescribed 13 mind-altering psychiatric drugs. Hell, at the time of her arrest, Clancy had seven mind-altering drugs in her system – three antidepressants, two sedatives, an antipsychotic and an anticonvulsant, including SSRI antidepressants, benzodiazepines and antipsychotic and antiseizure drugs. These include but are not limited to Prozac, Zoloft, Trazodone, Seroquel, Amitryptiline, Remeron, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan and Lamictal.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) hasn’t yet been added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, (DSM-V) but the apparent mental disorder appears to have taken hold of the Democrat party to such an extent that psychiatric specialists have been brought in to help those lawmakers deal with the newly elected Republican President.

Donald Trump, the 45th and 47^th President of the United States, is a force all his own and, apparently, the Democrats in Congress are having a tough time coping with the hurricane of Executive Orders and Directives coming fast and furiously out of the White House and have enlisted the help of shrinks to deal with what can only be described as Post Traumatic Election Disorder (PTED).

Maryland Democrat and minority leader of the House Judiciary Committee and past impeachment manager against Trump’s second impeachment lalapalooza, Representative Jamie Raskin, explained that the mental health specialists were brought in to talk “about basically communication styles during the Trump era.”
