ST. PETERSBURG, FL, April 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) On the closing day of the Sunscreen Film Festival, filmmaker Randy Stith and attendees viewed the Florida theatrical premiere of his documentary "Dead Wrong." The documentary tells the story of the Steubing family, whose life has been forever changed by the suicide of their brother and son, Matthew.
At the age of 18, Matthew had begun to have trouble sleeping, nightmares and panic attacks. After a 15-minute interview, he was prescribed a popular anti-depressant - a drug with side effects that include: an increase in suicidal thoughts in those under the age of 24 who take the drug, stomach pain, seizures and irregular heartbeat.
"Had we been told the truth about the dangerous effects of the psychiatric drug our son was given, he would be alive today," said his mother, Celeste.
After his death, Celeste went on a mission to find out what went wrong and what she could have done differently. She spoke to experts in several fields, pharmacologists, psychologists, medical doctors and other mothers who encountered the same pressure to drug their children that she did.
Her cross-country trek gave her many answers that she was seeking, including what she could have done differently, such as having her son get a thorough medical exam to see if there were any underlying physical conditions.
"Children need protection, guidance and love. They do not need psychiatric drugs," concluded Steubing.
After the screening, Stith answered questions from the audience about the film. One attendee wanted to know if any studies had been done to determine if psychotropic drugs cure any of the mental illnesses they are prescribed for.
"Not one," said Stith.
Stith said that the film is being distributed by word of mouth, through mailings of the film to particular groups and via the internet. The film can be viewed in its entirety on line at http://www.cchrint.org.
