More on Neo-Soviet Russia Weaponizing Psychiatry

Filed under: Russia

larisaarap.jpg

Above left, you see Ms. Larisa Arap, a writer, political activist and member of Garry Kasparov's United Civil Front opposition group, especially the local chapter in the northern city of Murmansk. In June, Arap renewed her driver's license and underwent a complete medical examination (including mental health screening) as required. She was found to be fit. But on July 5th she was seized by local authorities in Murmansk and imprisoned at a mental institution without due process. When she responded by going on a hunger strike to protest her imprisonment, this act was used to support a finding, on July 18th, that she was a danger to herself and to justify a commitment order. On the right, you see Arap after that tortuous process concluded, as photographed by her daughter's cell phone during a visit (the daughter was at first denied visitation and threatened with imprisonment). The attack on Arap comes close on the heels of her publication of an article in the "March of the Dissenters" newspaper in Murmansk which critically described the methods of treatment used in Murmansk psychiatric hospitals for the "treatment" of children and adolescents which included charges of beatings and rapes.

Arap has been forcibly medicated and the facility has refused to reveal details about her treatment. United Civil Front has lodged a formal protest with Russia's human rights czar, Ombudsman Vladimir Lukin, and his spokeswoman has stated: "We have decided to investigate this situation." She added an independent psychiatric commission would be set up and sent to Arap's hospital to examine her. "Only after this will we be able to draw some conclusions and, if needed, take action," the spokeswoman said. Reporters Without Borders has condemned this latest neo-Soviet attack on Russia's journalistic community. Publius Pundit has reported previously on Russia's reinvigoration of the Soviet tactic of using mental hospitals as a tool for suppressing dissent. Still more information about this growing outrage can be found here.

antidepressants says: Antidepressant medicines

Like many medicines, Cymbalta works to treat more than one condition. Cymbalta has been approved by the FDA for both the treatment of depression and the management of pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR), an antidepressant (mood elevator), is used to treat depression. Bupropion (Zyban) is used to help people stop smoking. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Remeron (Fluoxetine) is used to treat depression, bulimia (an eating disorder), obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), and severe symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder-PMDD). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain.

Paroxetine (generic Paxil) is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), social anxiety disorder (social phobia), and generalized anxiety disorder. This medication works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural chemicals in the brain.

Escitalopram (Lexapro) is used to treat depression. Escitalopram is in a class of antidepressants (mood elevators) called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It works by increasing the amount of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain that helps maintain mental balance.
