A groundbreaking study out of the prestigious Yale University, published in the science journal Frontiers in Psychiatry in 2017, reports that patients diagnosed with neuropsychiatric disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety and anorexia nervosa, were more likely to have received vaccinations three months prior to their diagnoses.
Scientists found that young people vaccinated in the previous three to 12 months were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with certain neuropsychiatric disorders than their non-vaccinated counterparts — in a controlled study.
“Subjects with newly diagnosed anorexia nervosa (AN) were more likely than controls to have had any vaccination in the previous 3 months. Influenza vaccinations during the prior 3, 6, and 12 months were also associated with incident diagnoses of AN, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and anxiety disorder.”
Study states that: “The onset of some neuropsychiatric disorders may be temporally related to prior vaccinations in a subset of individuals.”
This is a major discovery as the rate of adolescents being diagnosed with these disorders continues to skyrocket — as do the pharmaceutical industry’s profits off anti-anxiety, anti-pshyctotic and anti-depressant medications. These medications are being targeted more and more towards teenagers and their parents. A recent BBC article with world-renowned Professor David Healy explained his clear opinion that anti-depressant use among teenagers is actually harming children.
SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS
Yet many doctors don’t fully disclose the serious side effects of these medications, including increased suicidal thoughts — exactly what a parent doesn’t want. Ever since anti-depressants were linked to an increase in suicidal behaviors in young people more than a decade ago, all antidepressants, have carried a “black box”

warning label, reviewed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration, saying that they increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, teens and young adults under age 25.
Another disturbing find is the link between prescription medications and illegal drug use later in life, as researchers from the University of Michigan found. The medical community may be inadvertently creating a new generation of illegal, recreational drug users by prescribing anti-anxiety or sleep medications to teenagers, say University of Michigan researchers.
Teens prescribed anxiety or sleep medications are up to 12 times more likely to abuse those drugs than those who had never had a prescription, either by using someone else’s prescription pills or to get high or experiment, according to a study from the UM School of Nursing.
Nearly 9 percent of the 2,745 adolescent study participants had received a prescription for anxiety or sleep medications during their lifetime, and more than 3 percent received at least one prescription during the three-year study period.
“It just catches you off guard that so many adolescents are being prescribed these medications,” says study author Carol Boyd, a research professor at the Deborah J. Oakley Professor of Nursing. “Why is it that our youth are anxious and sleepless?”
Maybe the Yale study highlights the real reason for the rapid increase in mental health issues and depression in teenagers: vaccines.
