"The New Freedom Commission found that "despite their prevalence, mental disorders often go undiagnosed" and recommended comprehensive mental-health screening for "consumers of all ages," including preschool children.
The above paragraph is what the proposed effort really intends to do. There is nothing to suggest they are trying to drug the population, find people for Ritalin or any of the other spurious allegations in this article.
Usually, such articles come from anti-mental health people such as the Church of Scientology. Many of the hard core Libertarians are runners up in pontificating paranoid convictions about the dangers of assessing children and others for mental disorders likely to impair educational attainment. Shame on Representative Paul: he must have missed his weekly injection of public notoriety.
I'm as anti-Scientology as they come, and I think government mandated screening for anything absolutely sucks.
