Bipolar Scientologist CURED by PSYCHIATRIST

Aaron Gottfried was a member of a Scientology family and, as a teenager, he started showing symptoms of the devastating mental illness BIPOLAR AFFECTIVE DISORDER (formerly known as Manic Depression). Bipolar patients have a life expectancy of only 55 years due to the high frequency of suicide amongst untreated patients.
Aarons parents, unusually for Scientologists, were ready to accept traditional Psychiatric treatment for their son. However, their local church banned this avenue of treatment and applied their own methods (known as Introspective Rundown), which involves isolating the patient from human contact, denying them food and overloading them with high doses of vitamins.
This failed to cure Aaron (as it fails with every psychotic Scientologist) and Aarons parents sought traditional Psychiatric treatment, which effectively relieved Aarons symptoms, and Aaron now leads a normal life.
This pivotal video illustrates that Psychiatry works whilst Scientologys alternatives fail and this has lead to hundreds of deaths (please see my Playlist for details of many of the victims of Scientologys Medical Malpractice).

Shades of Gray (7/8): Treatment of Mental Disorders in WWII Documentary (1947)

1957 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0275991873?ie=UTF8&tag=doc06-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0275991873 Watch the full film: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/09/shades-of-gray-documentary-on-mental.html

Modest benefits have been from early access to cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as from some medications such as propranolol. Critical incident stress management has also been suggested as a means of preventing PTSD but subsequent studies suggested iatrogenic effects and later studies both confirmed harm and failed to demonstrate any benefits.

Many forms of psychotherapy have been advocated for trauma-related problems such as PTSD. Basic counseling practices common to many treatment responses for PTSD include education about the condition and provision of safety and support.

The psychotherapy programs with the strongest demonstrated efficacy include cognitive behavioral programs, variants of exposure therapy, stress inoculation training (SIT), variants of cognitive therapy (CT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and many combinations of these procedures. A 2010 review disagrees that these treatments have proven efficacy, and points out methodological flaws in the studies and previous meta-analyses.

EMDR or trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT) was recommended as first-line treatments for trauma victims in a 2007 review; however, “the evidence base [for EMDR] was not as strong as that for TFCBT … Furthermore, there was limited evidence that TFCBT and EMDR were superior to supportive/non-directive treatments, hence it is highly unlikely that their effectiveness is due to non-specific factors such as attention.” A meta-analytic comparison of EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy found both protocols indistinguishable in terms of effectiveness in treating PTSD; however “the contribution of the eye movement component in EMDR to treatment outcome” is unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) seeks to change the way a trauma victim feels and acts by changing the patterns of thinking and/or behavior responsible for negative emotions. CBT have been proven to be an effective treatment for PTSD, and is currently considered the standard of care for PTSD by the United States Department of Defense. In CBT, individuals learn to identify thoughts that make them feel afraid or upset, and replace them with less distressing thoughts. The goal is to understand how certain thoughts about cause PTSD-related stress.

Recent research on contextually based third-generation behavior therapies suggests that they may produce results comparable to some of the better validated therapies. Many of these therapy methods have a significant element of exposure, and have demonstrated success in treating the primary problems of PTSD and co-occurring depressive symptoms.

Exposure therapy is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that involves assisting trauma survivors to re-experience distressing trauma-related memories and reminders in order to facilitate habituation and successful emotional processing of the trauma memory. Most exposure therapy programs include both imaginal confrontation with the traumatic memories and real-life exposure to trauma reminders; this therapy modality is well supported by clinical evidence. Indeed, the success of exposure-based therapies has raised the question of whether exposure is a necessary ingredient in the treatment of PTSD. Some organizations have endorsed the need for exposure. The US Department of Veterans Affairs has been actively training mental health treatment staff in Prolonged Exposure Therapy in an effort to better treat US Veterans with PTSD.
