Are too many kids taking antipsychotic drugs?
Use is climbing despite questions about how safe the drugs are and how well they work

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/15/health/the-selling-of-attention-deficit-disorder.html?_r=0

Both Consumer Reports and NYT published articles on this topic that I know a lot of us are interested in. What strikes me as strange is that this stuff is only coming out now, after people are starting to have more concerns about how this stuff gets paid for. As in, more and more people are signing up for Medicaid especially, and most of the kids taking all kinds of drugs are on Medicaid. As for the stimulants like Ritalin, just as many of those users come from families with money, but is the concern now, because people are going to be getting insurance that mandates certain types of coverage, they don't want as many people taking certain popular medications? Like, medical need doesn't drive these decisions, money and politics do?

a whole generation lied to....manipulated in ways that can never be fixed..shame shame shame on us......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
