Whos gone crazy in America, our children or our doctors? Some of the numbers are staggering. American children are about three times more likely to be prescribed psychotropic medication than children in Europe. We use 90% of the worlds Ritalin supply. Almost 1/5 of all high school boys have a diagnosis of ADHD. In America nearly 30 percent of all children from 10 to 19, take at least one prescription to treat a chronic condition. The FDA has approved medicating children as young 3 years old for Bipolar disease. WTF? How can you diagnose a child that age with Bipolar disease? Medication should be a last resort but its all to often the first choice. Big Pharma looks at your children as a growing market and doctors look at them like a billing code. Instead of over analyzing every single behavior a child has, why dont we listen to them instead? Please watch this video made by a child in this predicament, see how he feels about it.
