This is such good information on a subject that concerns me, as a business owner (we hire a lot of 20-year-olds) and as an aunt. I know that parents and teachers are concerned about the well-being of their children, and the data in the video is key; I would highly recommend this to anyone.

MotherForTruth;
Maybe there is a chance I know of one in your area; what area do you live in?
Generally I have found great doctors by getting referals from other aware parents and then trying them out myself.
I am not a medical doctor, but I have armed myself with knowledge and where I am lacking - I do research. Particularly I look into the medicines being recommended. Pay close attention to the "side-effects" as these are THE EFFECTS of the drug, they are just called side-effects because they aren't the desired effects. For this reason, I tend toward natural remedies for my kids, when possible.
As an aside - I once took my oldest in for surgery and found (by questioning) that she was slated to be given a drug that would make her feel "euphoric" as she was put under anesthetic. It was an unecessary, potentially harmful gas that was administered as normal procedure, but by asking questions I was able to get this removed from her treatment completely.

It is SO important for us as parents to be aware and educated on such things as made-up psychiatric labels that are based on symptoms, not actual scientific/clinical findings. Afterall, our children depend on us to protect them from harm and these drugs kill.
The insidious nature of quick-fix, potentially fatal pyschiatric drugs being prescribed to unwitting consumers (many of which are children) is a criminal act that needs to be stopped!

Okay Tony, now you set me off...
To chime in with what tonyab is touching upon...
The schools can put huge pressure on parents to comply with non-statutory, but strong-trending, 'influences' (cannot call it laws, cause like I said, non-statutory) from the "mainstream"...
...to be subjecting their children to evaluations by their conformant staff (medical personell put in place to promote the use and distribution of psych-meds, inocculations, etc ..across the nation)
...and to be pressuring (and I do mean forcing) the parents to comply with so-called strong encouragements and recommendations.And I am not making it upm, and I am going to spell it out for you....
***The power of pressure to comply comes the government's Social Services Administration***,
who can be called in to evaluate the viability of "responsible parenting" in any family at any time for any reason whatsoever, and have the authority to pressure compliance or take your children away, period. Thats a fact anyone can readily validate.What especially "happens" is single mothers (or fathers) can and do become easy targets, and then examples to others, by "the system" whereby they are put to task for non-compliance...,
run thru scary, insulting, lengthy and degrading evaluation processes,
which also result in profiling in them in their communities (embarrassment and destructive to their integrity at the very least),
and they are threatened with removal of their children and even civil or criminal lawsuits (criminal is secondary and less likely in most cases, but it is threatened nonetheless, and in some cases may be persued [they bring in other implicative factors]),...and pardon my language but it is scary f-cking shit for the parents, bears severe hardship on the family ...financially, repuitationally, psychologically within the family,
...and most oftentimes, because of the real threats imposed by this government tool available to pressure them, parents end up complying... setting an example to the community of what is correct behavior, and what is good for the citizens and children of the community.
So if I am a nurse come by, setup, to adminster at the school, and you aren't playing, I can report you... and depending on how I "dress up" my report I can cause a lot of trouble for you.
The nurse and the school have tremendous power and influence in this way.Please, please think about this. Look around in your own community. I have directly seen this nasty business at work and it is heartbreaking to witness the disparagement to children and their parents. If you have ever been close to someone who is fighting to keep their child you know the heartbreak I am speaking about.
This is what we get when we validate the right to tell others how to raise their kids, and what they should or should not do for the well being of their own family, in their own homes.
It is one thing to catch parents who are breaking the law where serious and obvious abuse is going on, it is quite another to take away our freedom to choose what services, medicine, treatments, food, etc we wish to embrace for caring for our own.This is especially at issue here in the USA because there is little tolerance for those who may live by cultural mores so different from typical western european thinking.
I should leave it right there, but to say ...this is not just about being pressured by the pharm-chem industry... they have real f'ing power to reach inside our homes, our families, and ram their shit down our throats ...for real.
Don't take my word for it.... keep digging and find out for yourselves.\

I agree with Animal_Chin, and I have observed first hand the public school system acting as a "psychiatric funnel" that benefits only the psychiatric and the drug industry.
It's amazing - my child has had three friends over the past year get on these drugs, and his school has encouraged me to get him an "ADHD evaluation". They really are working hard at getting these kids drugged, and I am angry about it.

The psychiatric labeling of kids is just a way for psychiatrists and the drug industry to increase their profits. And they are doing this at the expense of our children. Looks like the people here with a "disorder" are these mad men who put profits above the lives of children.

yeah... its a smorgaborgasm of bullshit if you ask me... between the pesticides, steroids + antibiotics, other medicines/chemicals they are not telling us about that also are injected into the meat, the gmo's in the veggies and such not only we eat but that get fed to our meat (and stuff that meat wouldn't normally eat if it were grazing), yeah... I'm feelin' a little ficticious ADD comin' on right about now I think... but for all the non-sense I may be talkin' I bet your reading this sayin to yourself, you know, that twisted fellow may be onto something despite himself ...
But I digress... look, I know some folks that, well I don't believe in this ADD stuff, but hell, they gotta be, because there's nothing else to describe it, and the trouble they are in is real.
But the minute you cannot pay attention very well, attentnion veery well... doesn't mean we should slap a label on you and pump you full of drugs.Everybody knows the phara-chem industry is second to none on the planet as far as making money goes... and everybody knows there's no lack of greed behind big money, or what they will do to keep it and make more.
I better stop.

The Church of Scientology along with dozens of other groups, including MDs, Psychiatrists, DOs, etc. have been exposing and speaking out against these appalling crimes actively done against children – which if one looks, these are crimes against mankind as a whole since children are our future – imagine 20 years from now where all of society is wrapped in a chemical straitjacket. As long as more people are becoming aware of it, please keep reporting the facts!
27 million children on Psych meds is a totally crazy number! …and all done under the guise of help! What a crock!

Anyone voting this sh-t up. I am. I have witnessed so much pharmaceutical abuse in the hospitals (hey, with 'legit' meds), and I fear for the safety of our children in a pharm-chem corporate dominated economy and society.
I have no doubt that the industry of medicine is thrust upon us out of balance, and that the people are too easily sucked in and lead ...just as it is with selling (ramming down our necks) gmo's.
I am glad when I see doctors and/or other scientists daring to speak out about it.Thanks for the post.
