Dr. Harold Mandel, M.D. Holistic Healthcare • Human Rights
As an independent physician, medical journalist, and human rights advocate based in New York, I provide holistic healthcare guidance and human rights reporting free from corporate influence. With extensive experience in general medicine, my mission is to empower individuals with truthful medical information and holistic health options while serving as an unwavering defender of patient autonomy.
My work is deeply rooted in a commitment to protecting vulnerable populations, specifically through independent medical journalism and reporting that exposes psychiatric abuses. I strive to help patients navigate complex systems so they can make informed, autonomous decisions about their health and well-being.
Through my telehealth practice , I offer a patient-centered approach that prioritizes the whole person over a diagnosis. I believe that medicine must begin with listening and proceed with honesty, ensuring the patient remains in control of their own journey. Whether providing clinical guidance or advocating for those silenced by coercive systems, my goal is to uphold the non-negotiable foundations of ethical care: informed consent and bodily autonomy.

The Revolution of the Whole: A Call for Holistic Mental Sovereignty
The modern mental healthcare landscape stands at a critical crossroads, demanding a shift away from the reductive nature of psychiatry toward a natural, holistic model. For too long, the individual has been viewed as a collection of symptoms to be managed rather than a complex system to be healed. While traditional psychiatry relies on pharmaceutical intervention to suppress distress, it frequently fails to address why that distress exists in the first place.
We must recognize that the brain does not function in a vacuum. It is inextricably linked to the gut, the immune system, and the environment. By focusing almost exclusively on "chemical imbalances," we risk silencing the body’s internal alarm system—an alarm that is often signaling legitimate needs regarding nutrition, chronic inflammation, or deep-seated lifestyle stressors. We must demand a healthcare revolution that prioritizes the root cause over the quick fix.
True mental wellness requires a reclamation of personal agency. This call to action urges the individual to move beyond the role of a passive patient and become an active participant in their own vitality. Instead of accepting a life defined by the "side effect cascade"—where emotional blunting and physical lethargy are traded for basic stability—we must advocate for a standard of care that utilizes the power of neurogenesis, restorative sleep, and functional nutrition.
It is time to challenge the narrative that a diagnosis is a life sentence. We must embrace a framework that seeks to restore equilibrium to the whole person rather than just adjusting a single neurotransmitter. The goal of mental healthcare should not merely be the absence of illness, but the presence of vibrant, sustainable health. It is time to move past the pharmacy counter and return to the fundamental pillars of human wellness, ensuring every individual has the tools to thrive, not just survive.

Playing With Fire: Psychiatry, Powerful Drugs, and the Cost to Human Lives
Across the United States, modern psychiatry—which is shaped by institutions such as the American Psychiatric Association and regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—has built a vast industry around the routine use of very powerful psychiatric drugs. Psychotropics, antipsychotics, and lithium are prescribed on a massive scale, despite their capacity to permanently alter brain function and damage the body. These substances are not mild interventions. They are chemical force applied to very vulnerable people.
There is no reliable way to directly measure dopamine or other neurotransmitter levels in a living human brain. Yet the psychiatrists regularly justify blocking or manipulating these systems based on their subjective observations, brief interviews, and personal interpretations of behavior. From this fragile foundation, life-altering drug regimens are imposed. This is not scientific precision. It is speculation with often irreversible consequences.
Many of the patients experience severe acute reactions: seizures, blackouts, extreme confusion, emotional numbness, or physical collapse. These episodes often lead to lost employment, financial ruin, broken relationships, and permanent social instability. What is marketed as “treatment” frequently becomes the beginning of lifelong severe suffering.
Long-term neurological injury is even more alarming. Antipsychotic drugs are well known to cause tardive dyskinesia, which is sometimes an irreversible condition involving uncontrollable movements, tremors, and facial distortions. In severe cases, it mirrors advanced neurodegenerative disease. For many victims, it means chronic disability and public humiliation for life.
Lithium, which has been promoted for decades as a “gold standard” mood stabilizer, carries its own destructive risks: kidney failure, thyroid damage, cognitive decline, and dangerous toxicity. Patients are often placed on it with minimal informed consent. Once harm occurs, it is usually permanent.
All of this is justified through diagnostic labels such as “schizophrenia” and “bipolar disorder”—categories which lack definitive biological tests. No blood work, brain scan, or genetic marker can confirm them. They are constructed from behavior and interpretation. Once applied, these labels follow people forever, shaping how employers judge them, how courts treat them, how families respond to them, and how they view themselves. Emotional distress becomes a lifelong medical identity associated with misery.
Meanwhile, an enormous profit system thrives. Pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurers, clinics, and professional organizations benefit from long-term medication dependence. The system rewards prescribing, not healing. Compliance, not recovery. Chemical management becomes the default, while genuine restoration is sidelined.
For most people in crisis, what was truly needed was never chemical suppression. It was rest, nutrition, exercise, safety, meaningful relationships, time in nature, and patient-centered emotional support. Holistic, non-coercive care has helped countless individuals regain stability without lifelong medicalization. Yet these approaches are marginalized because they do not generate massive revenue.
Perhaps most revealing is the legal silence. Despite billboards advertising multimillion-dollar malpractice settlements, many attorneys quietly admit they will not take psychiatric drug injury cases. The reason is simple: psychiatry is institutionally protected. Professional guidelines, insurance policies, hospital protocols, pharmaceutical lobbying, and licensing boards form a closed system. Responsibility is diluted. Harm is normalized. Victims are dismissed as “mentally ill” when they speak out.
This abusive structure protects itself. Lives are shortened. Bodies are damaged. Careers are destroyed. Families are fractured. Identities are erased—all in the name of “treatment.” Yet accountability remains elusive, and public scrutiny is discouraged. This certainly
is not a healing system. It is a system which is built on chemical control and financial incentive.
Psychiatry depends on blunt pharmaceutical tools and deep corporate entanglements, and is resistant to transparency. Psychiatrists are playing with fire as they use human lives as fuel, and call the aftermath “care.” Psychiatry has always been an inherently destructive discipline which should therefore be permanently abolished.
