MIDWEST SKEPTICS SOCIETY:

Dr. Hiten Soni: PSYCHIATRY. All you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Tonight, Sat, Oct 15, 7pm at Perkins.

We always have lots of questions for Hiten because he always gives a provocative & informative presentation. Don't miss it! Plus he throws in so much humor we leave smiling. Join us for a FUN night.

We always go out afterwards for more fun.

TO RSVP, ADDRESS AND MORE INFO ABOUT THIS GORUP GO TO: http://www.meetup.com/skeptics-137/

What are the roots of psychiatry? If you want to know why mental illness is at the root of all religion then you should not miss this lecture.

We will discuss when behavior becomes pathological. We will look at what was done in the past, what is being done today and what the future holds. We will see the major contributors to the field and their contributions. We will look at claims behind “Prozac made me do it”, etc.

If you have any questions, please submit them in advance so I can bring slides, pictures, statistics, etc. You can also ask why your brother-in-law is paranoid or why does your ex-spouse hate you so much? We will take a brief look at shock therapy and controversy behind it. How “mentally ills” have contributed to the field of science and arts.

Hiten Soni, MD All things are possible.

\*\*What Recovering from Religion is about:\*\*Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith?
You are not alone, and we are here to help.
Learning how to live after questions, doubts, and changing beliefs is a journey. We at Recovering from Religion are intimately familiar with this path and are here to help you to cross that bridge. Our passion is connecting others with support, resources, community, and most of all, hope.
The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone or go to [www.recoveringfromreligion.org](https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org) to chat online.
If you’re seeking professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at [www.seculartherapy.org](https://www.seculartherapy.org).
