Here is the journal article.

Don't forget, this is the same organization that urged “pediatricians to counsel parents about the dangers of allowing children and adolescents access to guns (and) advocates strong legislative and regulatory reform aimed at preventing firearm injuries and deaths in children, including the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban and closing the ‘gun show loophole.’ “

Will they need a grant?

I recommend pediatricians get a mental health screening every year. I’m just as qualified to make that recommendation as they are.

“In fact, screening begins within the first month of life to identify postpartum depression in caregivers.”

Caregivers? Like a babysitter? Looks like parents need to stay away from pediatricians.

>> Pediatricians should screen children annually for mental or developmental issues

Sure. What could go wrong? ROFL.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They’re afraid some of them might not be mentally ill and want to remedy that.

[csn vinnie]

You mean like kids who so detached from reality that girls think they are boys, and vice versa?

NOOOO! That’s what we mental health professionals want!

[oldplayer]

Oh! This isn’t self-serving at all. s/

[rktman]

Uh, nope! How about the AAP clowns get screened yearly for predilections towards kids?

“Pediatricians should screen children annually for mental or developmental issues”

I’m thinking do it... the other way around.

I recognized the name of the AAP from a story today or yesterday which basically says they object to RFK Jr. dropping the Covid vax for children. The AAP is 'fighting back' by recommending all young children and high risk children get the C19 vaccine. For this reason, I don't trust anything coming out of their mouths. Based on what they are willing to back, I'm guessing such 'psychological testing' will be said to reveal a 'need' for more medications and perhaps gender affirming care.

So they can badger them with groomer intent till they get them into a chop shop and a kick back schedule to life time hormone blockers and big pharma stock dividends and therapy sessions.

Spit.

Here’s a tip: teach your 2 year old to say, “NO”. :-D

[cpdiii]

If I am not mistaken this is the same group that has no problems cutting off breasts and penises and then mutilating young confused kids before they are of age to make such a decision.

“Need a vagina kid? No problem, a slash here, nip and tuck and flood your body with female hormones, presto you are a girl that in all probability will have mental problems for life. We will also cut your penis off. You did not like it anyway.” Many commit suicide. Lay your money down and role the dice.”

“Need a penis kid? That one is more difficult but we will try. It often ends in failure so lay your money down and roll the dice.”

None of these will every experience the absolute joy and love of real sex. Those doctors are unethical and do not even realize it. They are predatory monsters. Most young kids that think they are the opposite genders are victims of left wing indoctrination normally by the parents. The vast majority of those kids grow out of the illusion a couple of years after puberty and realize the opposite sex is pretty nice to be with, very nice. It becomes a very healthy almost obsession.

Once a person is of legal age it their decision what they do with their bodies though foolish.

Turning every single person into a drug consumer for their bottom line.
Screw them. Screw big Pharma.

[Albion Wilde]

This is a terrible, terrible idea. Yet another avenue for separating children from their parents so they can be given “expert” indoctrination.

"Earlier studies have shown there's a 2- to 4-year window between the initial appearance of mental or emotional symptoms to when they develop into a full-blown disorder, the AAP says.

A critical window of opportunity for the unprofessional but accredited meddlers to intervene. Parents should have a healthier skepticism towards every "exactician" they're referred to or consult in.
