Hmmm. I guess they can always change their mind after a wave of suicides.

In offering this endorsement, the AMA apparently borrowed some of the FDA's screwy logic, which claims "The benefits outweigh the risks."

This means, of course, that the benefits to the drug companies outweigh the risks to the children!

There’s no one any crazier than these psychiatrists that prescribe these dangerous drugs. Don’t get me started. They do more harm than good.

Isn’t bipolar, what used to be called manic depressive?

a fictitious disease invented by psychiatrists"

Oh-kaaaayyy....

And anybody who lets their children take this stuff should be hauled away in a straight jacket.

a fictitious disease invented by psychiatrists and given the name "bipolar disorder." (There is no such thing as a bipolar disorder disease. It is merely a name assigned to children demonstrating the predictable side effects of correctable dietary imbalances.)

This is a total crock. Just because some doctors are too quick to diagnose this disease, and end up incorrectly diagnosing some people who dont actually have it, doesn't mean it's a "fictitious disease". There most certainly are children who have it, and who are making their own and their families' lives a living hell with wild, unpredictable mood swings including violence. Very often there are other children in the household, living with the same biological parents, eating the same diet, going to the same schools, and behaving normally.

Well, lets just turn them into Zombies. Dangerous thinking and if I were the parents; I would really stop this one.

“There is no such thing as a bipolar disorder disease”

But is there a such thing as manic depressive? Because that’s what Bipolar Disorder is, just the name has been changed.

[Windflier]

There is no such thing as a bipolar disorder disease. It is merely a name assigned to children demonstrating the predictable side effects of correctable dietary imbalances.

I've read more than one study which attests to the above statement. I'm a father of six, and have witnessed firsthand, what a change in diet and nutrition does for my own children's behavior.

I firmly believe that the psycho-pharma industrial complex is creating fictitious "diseases" and their "cures" to rake in billions of dollars from the trusting sheeple.

[Uri’el-2012]

Today an FDA advisory panel approved the prescribing of powerful mind-altering chemicals for children. Seroquel, Zyprexa and Goedon have now been approved by the advisory panel to be prescribed to children as young as 10 years old

More SSRIs for children.

G-d help us.

Thanks for posting the article. Interesting thread also.

[aposiopetic]

FDA advisory panels just advise and don't approve. The list of newly approved drugs is here and doesn't show any approval on the indicated date.

How do we get rid of the FDA?

A severe case of diarrhea would be more desireable.
