Is Court Hiding Outrageous Psychiatric Drug “Treatment” by Sealing Medical Records of Nick Reiner?

Contrary to what has been reported, Rob and Michele Reiner’s vicious murder was always about mental illness and prescription psychiatric drugs. What isn’t known is whether alleged killer Nick Reiner’s attorney will expose the fraud of psychiatric diagnosing and the dangers associated with psychiatric drugs to save his client from a life of prison hell. It’s a heavy lift but, in the long run, may save some lives besides that of the murderous Nick Reiner.
Prominent high powered attorney Allen Jackson has reportedly been hired by the Reiner family to represent alleged killer, Nick Reiner. In the only press conference about his client, Jackson said, “there are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case,” and “things need to be thoroughly but carefully dealt with and examined and looked at and analyzed.”
With the acknowledgement that Nick Reiner lived a life of mental illness and psychiatric drug use, there certainly are “complex and serious issues.” But the issues aren’t what most people think, including the killer’s own family.
It’s been reported that Nick had been in rehab at least 18 times between the age of 15 and 22. That means that if Nick spent just three months at each of the rehab facilities, he would have spent 216 out of 364 weeks in rehab over that seven-year period. In short, it appears that Nick spent at least 60% of his life in rehab during that seven-year stretch. It could be less or more time, but clearly, Nick’s life revolved around psychiatric intervention. But it didn’t start at 15 years old.
Based on years of dealing with children diagnosed and drugged by the psycho/pharma industry one can imagine what happened to Nick Reiner. In fact, it has been reported that Rob Reiner suffered from depression and even his daughter Romy has taken antidepressants for years. So, we see that the Reiner family embraced psychiatric intervention and certainly utilized it for son and brother Nick.
If one were able to review Nick’s entire mental health file, one might expect to see the first psychiatric intervention at around four or five with an ADHD diagnosis and a Ritalin prescription. From there one might see that Nick’s drug prescription would be tweaked, either increased or changed to a different drug or another drug added for, perhaps, anxiety being observed.
By the time Nick was in middle school, he may have been moved to antianxiety drugs and antidepressants and, maybe, even antipsychotics to treat his erratic explosive behavior. In the end, what one can probably assume in Nick’s case is a history of constantly altered psychiatric drug cocktails to treat his ever-increasing psychiatric diagnoses.
The problem, of course, is that Rob and Michele believed in what the mental health “experts” were selling and like so many unsuspecting parents did not understand the fraud of psychiatric diagnosing and the harm associated with the mind-altering drug “treatments,” especially on a developing brain.
Let’s consider the facts about psychiatric diagnosing. Not one of the mental disorders listed in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) is based in science or medicine. In other words, there is no abnormality in the brain that is ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar or any other mental disorders. These are behaviors, not abnormalities of the brain. In fact, if there were an objective, confirmable abnormality in the brain, one would seek assistance from a neurologist not a psychiatrist.
So, understanding that there is no abnormality that is any psychiatric diagnosis, one must ask what exactly are the psychiatric drugs “treating?” The answer, of course, is the drugs aren’t “treating” anything. The prescription, like illegal, drugs are mind-altering and will change behavior. Whether those changes are helpful depends on many things. In Nick Reiner’s case, one might suggest that the prescription drug “treatments” were definitely not helping.
It is no secret that the prescribing physician/psychiatrist have no idea how a cocktail of psychiatric drugs “work” in the brain, as cocktails of drugs have never been subjected to clinical trials. What the psychiatric elixirs do to the brain is anyone’s guess, including the pharmaceutical companies that openly admit that they have no clue how the drugs “work” in the brain as “treatment” for any alleged mental disorder.
Fully aware that Nick Reiner was being “treated” for schizophrenia let’s consider what is known about the possible “treatment.” Normally, the go-to psychiatric drug is an antipsychotic. The newer antipsychotics, like Risperdal, Seroquel and Zyprexa (olanzapine), reportedly affect the serotonin in the brain. And how do these drugs “work?” According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “the mechanism of action of olanzapine, as with other drugs having efficacy in schizophrenia, is unknown.” Clueless.
Were Rob and Michele informed by their $70,000 a month psychiatrist that the FDA has no clue about how the drugs used as “treatment” for their son “work?” But it gets worse. Whether it’s antidepressants for depression, antianxiety drugs like benzodiazepines, or stimulants like Ritalin, the pharmaceutical companies cannot explain how the drugs work as “treatment.” The mode/mechanism of action is “unknown.”
Knowing that prescribing extraordinarily expensive “experts” could not explain to the Reiner’s how the drugs being prescribed to their son “work” it gets worse when one considers the possible adverse effects of the “treatments.”
First, let’s consider antipsychotics. The known possible serious adverse events include depression, insomnia, confusion, personality disorder, anxiety, hallucinations and restlessness, abnormal dreams, aggression, agitation, and cognitive impairment to name a few.
Now, given Nick’s mental health history, one must consider that a cocktail of drugs was being prescribed by his pricey mental health “experts.” One might expect that antidepressant and antianxiety drugs were added to the schizophrenia drugs. If that is true, each of those drug classes come with their own serious adverse side effects too.
For example, the adverse events associated with antidepressants include insomnia, emotional lability, aggravated depression, aggressive reaction, aggression, agitation, anxiety, depersonalization, mania, suicidal ideation, hallucination, sleepwalking, psychotic disorder and abnormal thinking.
Given Nick’s apparent rage and deadly behavior, one might expect that any of the above adverse events could be in play and that is why it is imperative that the complete mental health and drug history be made public along with the names of the family’s “treating” physicians so they may be questioned about Nick’s drug cocktails.
But it appears that already the court is doing what too often happens when it comes to psychiatric drugging and violence. The court has sealed the defendant’s medical records. Why? If ever there was evidence that needed to be openly discussed in a court of law, it is Nick Reiner’s prescription drug history. And one could only imagine how helpful it would be for millions of American families experiencing their own mental health “treatment” blowback.
Time will tell, but it appears that an insanity plea is in the works and the Reiner siblings may sidestep prison for a life in a psychiatric facility for their troubled brother. It will be difficult to prove insanity, though, as it is not listed as a mental disorder in psychiatry’s DSM nor is it a known side effect of any psychiatric drug.
The irony can’t be ignored. Both the prosecution and defense will rely on the mental health “experts,” like those who provided “treatment,” to decide the defendant’s fate.
