Under the influence of declining birth rates, expanding longevity, and changing population structures around the world, the global prevalence of senile dementia is expected to increase more than four-fold within the next forty years. Within the United States alone, the number of affected individuals over the age of 65 is expected to rise exponentially from 8 million cases (2% of the entire population in the year 2000), to 18 million retirees (roughly 4.5% of the national census in the year 2040). Although they are striking, these statistics quite likely underestimate the scope of the coming epidemic, as they fail to consider the impact of under-diagnosis, early-onset disease, and the potential for a changing incidence of illness in the context of increasingly toxic environments. In the face of this imminent crisis, concerned observers have called for policies and practices which aim to prevent, limit, or reverse dementia. Drug-Induced Dementia: A Perfect Crime is a timely resource which reveals why and how medical treatments themselves - specifically, psychopharmaceuticals - are a substantial cause of brain degeneration and premature death. A first-of-its-kind resource for patients and clinicians, the book integrates research findings from epidemiology (observational studies of patients in the "real world"), basic biology (animal experiments), and clinical science (neuroimaging and autopsy studies) in order to demonstrate the dementing and deadly effects of psychiatric drugs. Highlighted by more than 100 neuroimages, slides of tissue specimens, and illustrations, the book uniquely describes: Ø the societal roots of the problem(target organ toxicity, regulatory incompetence, and performativity) Ø the subtypes and essential causes of dementia Ø the patterns, prevalence, and causes of dementia associated with antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants and Ø the actions and reforms which patients, providers, and policy

Demented

It might be helpful to hear from someone who has dementia due to psychiatric drugs. After 18 years of benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and amphetamines, I have been reduced to a very disabled individual who is dependent on his wife to get through each day. My EEG shows slowing and my MRI is abnormal. I went from having an anxiety disorder to a drug induced dementia. My wife cut back her work hours several years ago in order to help care for me. Now she has stopped work altogether to be at home more. I have two graduate degrees, a doctorate and a masters. Now I can barely read a newspaper. This book has helped me a great deal. Although I have trouble following the details, the message is loud and clear. These drugs ruin your mental and physical health. Thank you for your bravery and insite Dr. Jackson. And thanks to the others who liked this very important book. It makes me feel less alone in this difficult journey.

Dr. Grace E. Jackson's latest textbook is undoubtedly the most authoritative source book of its kind. It is well written, reader friendly, and lists 88 pages of scholarly references. Dr. Jackson is a brilliant and critical thinker. Her compassion was stirred for her prison inmates when she saw them given psychiatric medications that caused great harm. It was out of love and compassion, for those who unknowingly were being injured, that she put her heart and soul into her monumental effort to expose the brain damage and other harm caused by medications promoted on a grand scale to captive populations, including inmates, elderly, military and now even little children, perhaps for the rest of their lives.

The Truth is Out There, Mr. Mulder...

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2011

Verified Purchase

Again, Grace Jackson, MD does it again. As if Rethinking Psychiatric Drugs wasn't groundbreaking, Drug-Induced Dementia is the perfect sequel to uncovering the horrid truth about the disease-mongering hoaxes infiltrating modern health care. Well-written and chock-full-of daunting insight and charismatic prowess, Dr. Jackson has created the perfect health-care practitioner's Bible, so to speak. Dementia - much like Rethinking, are definite must-reads for those practitioners valiantly attempting to find the obtrusively hidden golden fleece of psychiatric truth cleverly crumbled beneath the mire of consensual reality. As the Smoking Man always said: "The truth is, indeed, out there, Mr. Mulder..." Thankfully we have Grace Jackson to guide us in the right direction without sending us to Roswell or Hangar 18!

Drug-Induced Dementia was an eye opener into the world of legal drug overdose. While the book is more technical than expected, the reader is still able to absorb the fact that there is alarming danger connected to drugs prescribed by the psychiatric community. The danger can be summed up by a quote from the book: "... the lessons of history have shown that psychopharmaceuticals are incompatible with a normal lifespan." There are good illustrations of the brain showing how different parts are affected by these drugs. One gets the impression the author is screaming out the information for any thinking person to reconsider taking even antidepressants.

This book is TRUE!

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

Grace Jackson is a no-nonsense redhead who won't give up. She walked out of a good career as a Navy medical officer (psychiatrist) so she could speak freely about the obvious harm being done by psychiatric medication. A recovering psychiatrist myself, I know her from meetings we have attended. If you think this book is too heavy with technical details, I say that she knows that this is what makes her argument unassailable in its truth, so we readers must put up with it. What she says is true -- all of it. She is a beautiful person.

Mental health and happiness depends on a healthy brain, which depends on a complex of subtle ecological factors, just like a healthy garden or any other living thing. Psychiatric drugs "solve" problems crudely, like bullets from guns, always by damaging something in the brain. But psychiatrists who don't prescribe the drugs find themselves outside the box and in trouble. Who can blame them? Who is to blame for this destruction? With exceptional insight, the author has done a fine piece of detective work on the enormous crime of today's psychiatric medication prescribing.

This book should be required reading for laypersons and healthcare personnel...deliberate drug-induced dementia, and other "labels"(courtesy DSM-II,III,etc)in effect, rake in huge drug,physician,nurse and hospital profits and advancement, at the expense of the senior population, which is exploding.One could be looking at the tip of the iceberg re:continuous, CRIMINAL labeling, then drug-induced death. It is a well-known fact that nursing homes,assisted living homes, et al routinely report "heart attack,etc" when the person actually died of too many drugs in the system.Just take a look at those huge nursing carts-filled to the brim with drugs!..Disgusting,immoral,criminal, and the sign of a society taking a downward spiral.
Watch "Soylent Green" with Edward G. Robinson and Charleton Heston, made decades ago, on DVD to get a scary overview of what could happen in the USA and other countries that push drug profits before honor, morals,and character.[...]
This is a courageous book by Dr. Jackson

A brilliant piece of research work that is damning of psychiatric drugs. It's a technical book - with many pages of references - but if you work at it you will fully grasp the importance. Well printed on acid free A 4 paper; I hope she writes a book that the wider public will gravitate towards and including scans on people in their 30's who have been on psychiatric drugs since children.

an epidemic of drug-induced dementia

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2011

Verified Purchase

To my mind `Drug-Induced Dementia: a perfect crime' by Grace Jackson is an intellectual tour de force and the most damning indictment of drug-based psychiatry ever written.

She writes " ... common diseases provide a perfect alibi for pharmaceutics because the background prevalence of a given problem "masks" or "hides" the contributions which are made by prescription chemicals ... Where does this leave physicians and patients ... It leaves them in need of a resource which will integrate research findings from basic biology (animal experimentation), clinical science (neuroimaging, pathology), and epidemiology (observational studies of diverse populations who use psychiatric drugs). It leaves them in need of a resource which will explain the reality and the significance of one of the most serious hazards which can occur during or after exposure to psychiatric drug therapies: Drug-Induced Dementia."

"The goal of this book is to serve as that resource. The following chapters explain what dementia is (Chapters 1 and 2); how psychiatric drugs cause or enhance this problem (Chapter 2): explore the prevalence and patterns of drug-induced dementia in real populations (Chapter 3); and present the scientific evidence for this devastating drug effect (Chapter 4: antidepressants; Chapter 5: antipsychotics; Chapter 6: anxiolytics; Chapter 7: mood stabilizers; and Chapter 8: stimulants).

Jackson has pulled together scientific papers published over several decades into a remarkably coherent body of evidence replete with tables, diagrams, slides of brain tissue, photos of brain scans and 90 pages of scientific references. The strength of the book is its single-minded concentration on just one aspect of psychiatric drugs: brain damage. Not a light read, and very grim.
