“This is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels.” — Dr. Keith Conner, who led the fight to legitimize attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Conspiracy talk!
(And rather ironic/amusing, too!)

IIRC, I read that once you start on these drugs...because they have messed up your brain...you will need meds for life.

I understand there is a communications company that does nothing but create previously unheard of names for every new drug that the pharmaceutical industry brings to market. This communications company receives exceptionally large sums of money for successfully naming each new drug. Just looking at the proprietary (as opposed to chemical) names of the drugs mentioned in the article is a cause for wonder. The names are truly unique and ingenious by any measure. I wonder why we as a country are so talented at these types of tasks yet have succeeded in selling out the rest of our middle-class-sustaining economy to the Far East and South and Central America?

Autism is similar. It used to be a fairly exotic diagnosis. Now, almost everyone is autistic or has asperger's syndrome.

I do see the possibility that modern changes in diet and "advances" in food science (GM food, hormones, etc) may increase the percentage of people having certain disabilities, but largely this is just medical professionals over-diagnosing people and creating larger marketplaces for their services.

Depression is another. It's real. It exists. Medicine can help some people. But a lot of the people on the medicine could get better help without the medicine. But Zoloft is easy, and it's profitable. So there you go.

If it has the word disorder in it, it’s fake.

The government at work to dumb down and drug all the active and thinking children of America so that they will be drug addicts by their teen years and thereby destroyed by the evil DC monsters using uninformed to do their will.

And we put them and their young brains on speed pills.

THIS is the absolute source of all the spree shootings and school shootings. They are almost all speed freak pill poppers. It isn’t guns.

The overlooked common denominator (cough) is of course public education.

Stop drugging those Absolutely Disinterested & Dissatisfied with the prison of Public Education.

In other news.....researchers have found a cure for ADHD.

They found that cellulose has a dramatic effect upon the prevention and cure for the dreaded disease.

This amazing product can be found in wooden paddles wielded by men (dads) and applied to the backsides of little brats.

Isn’t this an amazing discovery?
