In a society where one in four Americans is currently taking psychiatric drugs\u2014many without fully understanding the potentially lethal side effects\u2014this groundbreaking documentary uncovers a crisis of national and global proportions. Among the side effects listed by drug manufacturers are mania, hostility, aggression, homicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Yet, the correlation between psychiatric drug use and violent behavior has been ignored for far too long.<\/p>\n

\u201cPsychiatrists have a drug problem,\u201d says Diane Stein, President of CCHR Florida, who is featured in the documentary. \u201cIn 86 percent of psychiatric office visits, prescriptions for psychotropic drugs like Prozac, Seroquel and Xanax are written.\u201d<\/p>\n

As these prescriptions increase, so does the violence\u2014school shootings now occur on nearly every school day, and mass shootings average more than one per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrescription for Violence\u201d presents compelling interviews with victims, investigators, attorneys, psychologists and psychiatrists who link psychiatric drugs to some of the country\u2019s most horrific tragedies\u2014including the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting and the 2017 Las Vegas massacre.<\/p>\n

Globally, more than 280 million people are prescribed psychiatric drugs, despite 100 regulatory warnings citing violent and suicidal behavior as side effects. This documentary aims to inform the public about the devastating impact of these drugs on individuals and society, and to drive reform in mental health through legislation, litigation and public pressure.<\/p>\n

Watch \u201cPrescription for Violence: Psychiatry\u2019s Deadly Side Effects<\/a>\u201d exclusively on Scientology Network on International Anti-Corruption Day, Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET\/PT.<\/p>\n
