ADHD—Labeling normal kids "mentally ill"

ADHD is a bogus mental "disorder" based only on a checklist of behaviors. There are no medical tests to prove any child has ADHD, yet more than 4.5 million kids have been diagnosed and put on drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta, which the U.S. DEA places in the same highly addictive category of drugs as cocaine, morphine and opium. According to the Center for Disease Control, boys are much more likely to be diagnosed "ADHD" than girls. The "checklist" for ADHD could fit any normal child and literally includes such ridiculous criteria as " runs about or climbs excessively in situations when it is not appropriate" (we are talking about KIDS here... right?) " is often 'on the go "acts as if driven by a motor" "blurts out answers" "is easily distracted" " loses pencils or toys" "often doesn't seem to listen"

To be perfectly clear — this is ALL that it takes to diagnoses a child with a 'mental disorder' of ADHD; a checklist of behaviors (the above is taken directly from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), psychiatry's billing bible. There is no medical or scientific test that is then taken afterwards to 'confirm' this diagnoses -- simply because there isn't one. So the ONLY way a kid is ever diagnosed is simply based on the checklist. That's it. There are no blood tests, brain scans, chemical imbalance tests, X-rays or "genetic" factors to prove any child has a mental "illness" called ADHD. This is simply a list of child-like behaviors that psychiatrists clustered together, repackaged as a mental disorder and the result is a multi- billion dollar empire — the child labeling and drugging industry

    • Funny, there are so many "illnesses" that the average person shows symptoms of at least 3 different illnesses....

      According to todays standards 80% of the population will personally be affected by "mental illness" of their own at some point in their life (this does include seemingly minor things like depression).

      But it's a damn scam, yeah we all have issues, yeah we all have times when life gets to us... Some of us spend life in "manic" like cycles, some of the best artists ever, were like that.

      Does that mean Big-Pharma has the answer to it all, or that we all need "stability" through proper medication...

      Sounds awfully boring, we'll just meld all the personalities into homogenized garbage... Characters will vanish into the universal sameness agreed to by psychiatric "professionals"...

      Fuck That... And fuck the idea of giving children "amphetamine sulfate" in the form of Adderal....

      Ever here of an amphetamine deficiency? Doesn't exist, there isn't even sound logic in "treating" people with half the garbage, Big-Pharma, and it's complicit doctors use....

    • Just go through the symptoms of ADHD and you will find that every one of us has atleast 1 symptom - so the whole world has ADHD. It's pharma companies ultimate goal to keep us drugged.
