For the non-hardcore Marilyn Monroe fans, maybe you didn't know that the actress spent some time at NYC's Payne Whitney Hospital in 1961, just a year before her fatal overdose. That year her psychoanalyst, Marianne Kris, committed Monroe; "Knowing the star would never go to a psychiatric hospital on her own— Monroe was terrified of sanitariums because her mother lived in one for most of her life and her grandmother had died in one— Kris told her that she was going to a private hospital for some rest and relaxation." The ol' R&R bait and switch!
By February 5th, the starlet was in a padded room with barred windows; she told friends, "I'm locked up with these poor nutty people. I'm sure to end up a nut too if I stay in this nightmare. Please help me." One author has taken to task the retelling of this time in a new book called The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, even talking to a Payne Whitney intern "who visited Monroe after she tried to break down the bathroom door in her room." She told her: "You are a very, very sick girl. And you've been sick for a long time.” Indeed, Monroe's mother was a paranoid schizophrenic, and now there is "evidence that suggests that, beginning in her late teens, Monroe heard voices and believed she was being followed." Sigh. Here's some video, along with the photographs, of Monroe in New York City during happier times.

Psych hospitals were really something to be afraid of back then. Good job, Marianne Kris.

It's good this poor lady never had kids.
All that Kennedy semen must have been neurotoxic.
the creepy life of uber-bimbos.
Actress Sherri North said "in the 50's and 60's when a doctor prescribed you medication you trusted them because they were a doctor and the doctor knew best". Monroe is another instance of locking someone up who they don't understand, who goes against the grain, who the system couldn't control the way they wanted to. By locking someone in a psych ward leads people to believe the individual is weak minded and unpredictable. As a result they are vulnerable to being murdered and having it made to look like a suicide or being framed for murder or myriad other acts. How many psych meds has the FDA recalled since the 50's? Wasn't it the Psychiatric Association who: In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. But they know whats best.
Now Hollywood elietes bring us pedophilia, by showing support of Roman Planski. This industry(Hollywood) has its hands in EVERYTHING! They influence and represent the masses, and nation, respectively in a BIG way. All types of professional elite are involved in Hollywood.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), also known as electroshock, is a well-established, albeit controversial, psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect. It was first introduced in the 1930s and gained widespread use as a form of treatment in the 1940s and 1950s; today, an estimated 1 million people worldwide receive ECT every year.
Electroshock is a barbaric, brain-disabling psychiatric procedure that should have been abolished many years ago. Yet its use is on the rise.

The US FDA is now warning that Paxil, a commonly used antidepressant, causes birth defects in newborn children when their mothers take Paxil during pregnancy.
The drug manufacturer Eli Lilly is admitting today that their drug Strattera prescribed to treat ADHD and hyperactivity causes children to have suicidal thoughts. This is after the FDA requested that Eli Lilly provide the data that they apparently had not disclosed showing the link between suicide and this ADHD drug. After reviewing this information the FDA seems to have requested that Strattera carry a warning on it’s label.
Prozac Suicide Dangers Hidden - Charges Harvard Psychiatrist September 22nd, 2005
I was recently revisiting the story about how the manufacturer of the drug Prozac, Eli Lilly, seemed to magically “misplace” important information showing the strong link between taking antidepressants and suicide. Apparently there were many drug trials that showed this long before the drug was ever approved and sold to the public.
