Drugs for kids , a video you should share

Postby Copy_Cat » Wed May 11, 2016 8:24 pm

A YouTube video called “Drugs for Kids” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQg-r8etan8


Its a parody of those pharma ads and a nasty slap to the child drugging industry.
I survived psychiatry.

Good satire, I like it. :) But its really sad that it holds so much truth to reality. Medication is quickly becoming a fix for poor schools and a world that in itself stimulates hyper activity through media and sugary foods. Then again the diagnostic criteria is so vague any child can be diagnosed as ADHD for simply being a child in front of a psychiatrist.

Brain tranquilizers have to be the most successful corrupt business endeavors in the history of capitalism entirely built on lies and deception. It worked so well on disabling the mentally ill, so it was time to grow into other avenues of revenue generation. All the while our nation's future is being destroyed from within. When one really thinks about the scale and magnitude, it is nothing short of a war crime. An assault on an entire nation, of not planet.


Psychiatry does not seek to help, heal, aid or cure. It only seeks to profit as much as it can from any one person and to profit from as many of those people as possible. When it all goes horribly wrong everyone but big pharma becomes the blame.

That's a very apt satire criticizing the over-diagnosis of ADHD. The public school system expects children to not act like children, and if a child behaves like a child, their parents are told they should be medicated.

While a diagnosis of ADHD is accurate in children half of the time, even then, medication should not be used as a first-resort. From what other family members with ADHD have told me (it runs in the family), drugs did not make things better, but changing their environment to make it more suitable to how their brains work did.

Also, I have heard a family friend say her child who is autistic (though I'm not sure if he has ADHD or not) was acting defiant in front of a very controlling staff member at his school. She said he needed to be put on medication. His parents said no, and they are very tired of that staff member now.

Staff can treat kids anyway they see fit, even if that means being nasty, abusive, or the like without repercussion . I know for a fact that when you treat kids poorly or without any respect they will act up. Its a completely normal human response. However psychiatry has long influenced behavioral science where such behavior is encouraged to be exercised by authority figures in an effort to obtain compliance or discipline. Its no accident because the response seen will always be one where staff think "medication". Psychiatry has always used instigation as a method to sell treatment.
