Artists abused and destroyed by Psychiatry
Kurt Cobain: Increasingly
crowded by the mental and physical legacy of prescribed, mind-altering
drugs and ultimately street drugs, Cobain’s drug problem became
critical. In desperation, wife Courtney Love and several friends
enrolled Cobain in a psychiatric drug recovery center. Thirty-six
hours after admission, he bolted from the program and in a small
room above his garage in a quiet Seattle neighborhood, ended his
life with a single shotgun blast to his head. Heroin and the addictive
and potentially harmful psychiatric drug Valium were reportedly
found in his bloodstream.

Vivien Leigh: Vivien Leigh
was placed in Netheren psychiatric hospital in England. There she
was packed in ice as part of her “treatment” and fed raw
eggs from time to time. She said of her experience, “I thought
I was in an insane asylum. I thought I had to scream so that someone
would help get me out.” She was subjected to repeated electroshocks.
It was the first of many terrors, and one that would affect her
permanently.

Marilyn Monroe: Monroe
saw New York Freudian psychiatrist Dr. Marianne Kris. Kris saw Monroe
five times a week and ultimately provided her with powerful barbiturates
that she abused until her death. Kris later tricked the actress
into signing herself into a psychiatric ward, telling her it was
for a physical workup and rest. Monroe was locked in a padded cell
for two days, where she pounded the door until her fists were raw
and bleeding.

Judy Garland: Under a
psychiatrist’s orders, she began the first of many stays in
psychiatric hospitals. Then in 1949, not yet 27 years old, she was
subjected to the violence and degradation of electroshock. And as
psychiatric treatment continued to fail her totally, she was given
hypnosis to “calm her nerves and help her lose weight.”

Possible Solutions for
Better Mental Health
No one denies that people can have difficult problems in their lives,

individuals and thereby society by restoring people to personal
strength, ability, competence, confidence, stability, responsibility
