SUMMARY:“Cause of Death\, Unknown” (A documentary film about antipsychotic medication)
DESCRIPTION:“Cause of Death\, Unknown” (A documentary film about antipsychotic medication)\nA CPCS MHLD-Approved Two-Credit Hours CLE Program \nSponsored by Kerry Kotar and Norman J. Sherman\, CPCS Mental Health\nRegional Coordinators \nDate of CLE: Thursday\, June 16\, 2022 \nTime: 1 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. \nWhere: On Zoom—Link to be provided upon registration \nPROGRAM\nApprox 1.5 hour film plus half-hour discussion\nTopic: Investigating the Pharma-Medical Industry Development-Use of\nAntipsychotic Medication \n“After her sister died suddenly and unexpectedly while being treated with prescription\nantipsychotics\, director Anniken Hoel begins a global investigation into the crimes of\nthe pharmaceutical industry\, the unheralded growth of psychiatric diagnoses and\nmedication\, and the corruption of the government regulatory agencies that have\nfailed\, repeatedly\, to protect us. Made over a ten-year period\, the film is\nsimultaneously personal and investigative as it follows Anniken as she seeks answers\nregarding not only the death of her sister\, but of the tens of thousands worldwide\nwho have also met a similar fate. Deaths and damages that until now have been all\nbut ignored. Beginning in a small town in Norway\, and journeying through\nScandinavia\, the EU and the US\, the chilling documentary-thriller CAUSE OF DEATH:\nUNKNOWN exposes the inner workings and motivations of a powerful industry that\ncontinually puts profits before people\, and has been far too influential in defining\nwho is normal and who is “ill.” \nAttribution:\nhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt6151226/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl) \nCome prepared to engage in a thoughtful discussion about the film. We look\nforward to talking about:\n— the interaction (and\, perhaps\, collaboration) between pharmaceutical\nindustry’s intense interest in developing psychoactive medications and\nsubsequent growth of mental illness diagnoses during the past 30+ years \n— how government regulatory agencies were involved (and\, perhaps\, complicit)\nin the pharm-medical industry evolution of psychoactive medication and mental\nillness diagnosis \n— the legal and social implications of these parallel actions by the\npharmaceutical and medical industries \n— the assertion that state laws and medical practice surrounding mental illness\nand treatment thereof is directly and indirectly influenced by the pharmaceutical\nindustry; and \n— how Respondent’s counsel and their experts may address these issues in our\ncivil commitment and guardianship cases \nTO REGISTER please copy and paste the following link into your web browser and press “enter” on your keyboard: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZApdu6hpzIiHdUl5J5VcEpzXCzkyNIDr-r5  \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the seminar on June 16\, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. \n  \nThank you for your interest in this program.
