my ex-wife got my son diagnosed as “ADD” after ONE visit to a well-respected and credentialed Doctor.
medication was IMMEDIATELY prescribed, and taken.
i didn’t know about it. i only learned of of it, BECAUSE i noticed abnormal behavior, caused by the drugs !
he’s a good boy. not a discipline problem. (and i’ve never had to spank him, not once!)
they said he had problems with staying focused.
i said “watch him play video games for hours, learning goals, advancing, etc.”. sure i’d prefer he was reading.
but he has NO problem with “focus”, if a subject is made interesting.
(i taught him negative numbers, and stuff from physics, years before he learned them in school. i know how to teach him.)
...then, they said he has trouble remember things.
(apparently another boiler plate “symptom” to drug boys for ADD or ADHD, along with inability to keep their energy seated for many boring hours with boring teachers...)
so i had him begin reciting the ENTIRE history of the 7 tribes of Bionicles, with the complete history of their world and culture. ...then, started him naming Pokemon, with ALL their evolution stages...
after about TWO HUNDRED, they finally got the message...
and my son remains drug free.
Good for you!
“my son remains drug free.”
Good On You! Keep him that way. It’s not just the antipsychotics either.
There’s over 4600 independent news reports of violence involving SSRI antidepressants there.
“65 School Shootings/Incidents Involving SSRIs
Most of the stories on this site describe events that occurred after the year 2000. The increase in online news material and the efficiency of search engines has greatly increased the ability to track stories. Even these 4,600+ documented stories only represent the tip of an iceberg since most stories do not make it into the media. There are 112 cases of bizarre behavior, 65 school shootings/incidents, 68 road rage tragedies, 18 air rage incidents, 101 arson cases, 70 postpartum depression cases, over 1,000 murders (homicides) or murder attempts, over 300 murder-suicides (30% committed by women) and other acts of violence including workplace violence on this site. There are also over 100 Journal Articles and FDA reports listed in the Index. They are at the top of the Index immediately below the 65 school shootings/incidents and the 25 “won” cases.
An Absence of Controlled Scientific Evidence
In the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Volume 14, Number 1, Spring 2009, there is a journal article by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D., which is titled: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) Drugs: More Risk Than Benefits?” In reference to SSRIStories.com, Dr. Kaufmann made the following statement: “Since no clinical trial involving multiple homicides is ever likely to be run, no firmer evidence is likely to be found. Healy noted that much of the evidence for suicide and murder came from the efforts of journalists and lawyers”.

When the smoke finally clears on this drugging scam, it will be recognized in hindsight as the worst, Doctor CAUSED public health Disaster in American history.
“i’m guessing that the large increase in children being classified as disabled relates to the subsequent eligibility for SSI payments ?”
You’re spot on right. Medicare payments are also tied to SSI eligibility for people 64 and under. One of the requirements for eligibilty is that the patient be expected to die. So the psych drug industry simply decides that people are potential suicides, because if they Don’t write them up that way, they are committing

2: Federal Tax Fraud
These drug peddlers are a huge part of Why Social Security is going down in flames. But they’re Far more detestable than being simple financial frauds, FAR more detestable:

Those are only two of the several federal crimes they commit.
Also when I saw the title I thought it was talking about Congress.
My youngest son was not learning to read in school by the second grade. We became worried because he seemed to be less reading ready than when he was at the beginning of first grade. I started observing him in class by volunteering for everything I could. I observed a school experience of constant noise and a three ring circus all day long.
At the same time the “experts” at the school decided he needed ritlan and told me to get him on that drug right away. That is when we pulled him out for homeschool and he was healed to be a happy and intellegent human boy in life rather than a mentally and spiritually abused animal in a zoo.
“You’re believing the crap churned out by Al Jazeera? The article conflates anti-anxiety, anti-psychotic, ADD, and anti-depressants into the inaccurate catch-all, “anti-psychotic” and then claims we’re all on anti-psychotics.”
Agreed. Being depressed is not being psychotic. Strapping on a suicide bomb, now that’s being psychotic. Maybe they ought to be taking this stuff.
Wow, you didn’t have to put him on 4 drugs! One drug after the other to combat the symptoms of the previous prescription. So glad your son had you for a mom.
It is rare when your children fully realize when you make a major sacrifice for them and pull them out of harm’s way when that course of events is the way of the world. Everybody was doing one thing and we whipped him out and were named strange by his teachers and many of his friends’ parents. Some of them would no longer permit their children to play with him since we left the herd and all.
In this case, my son actually knows what happened and what his dad and I did for him for many reasons but one is that he had friends in college (he just graduated!) who were put on the drugs and now suffer greatly as drug addicts who have lost themselves.
He thanks us often and he actually listens to us. It is difficult for parents to know when to conform and when to become “strange.”
I have a former neighbor that put her daughter on medication when her daughter was in school in the 80's/90's. She regrets it now. Her daughter has really struggled with drug abuse problems.
Well I really congratulate you...
And, you seldom need companion drugs to control extrapyramidal symptoms any more either.
It may well be the case that so-called "anti-psychotics" are prescribed promiscuously by certain psychiatrists, but even if, they are less harmlful than their predeccessors.
I don’t suppose you bothered to download & read the documents I linked to, did you?
“And, you seldom need companion drugs to control extrapyramidal symptoms any more either.”
Your statement is factually inaccurate. Anti-Parkinson drugs are indeed needed with today’s atypical antipsychotics. Please get on board with the current Facts, before rushing to defend drugs which are No better, and in many instances Worse than the 1st generation drugs.

The current Courtroom slugfest over J&J’s Risperdal lies in J&J’s falsely marketing, and over marketing, Risperdal as safer and more effective than Thorazine, Haldol, Stelazine and all the Other 1st generation antipsychotics.
And please spell the name of J&J’s wretched Brain Eating drug correctly next time.
NONE of those drugs, OR Psychiatric/Psychological THEORIES - Not Science, but THEORIES - are worth the powder to blow them to the Nether Regions, and the US VA admits it. Where are you going to find a larger patient population/sample size than the US VA?
“No Positive Outcome”, no matter How the drugs are mixed and matched.

“I can tell you the newer drugs are far superior.”
You can Tell other people anything you want to tell them, but that alone doesn’t make it the truth.
