This video also shows medical doctors receiving $ 10,000 checks as rewards for prescribing drugs. Medical science is definetely corrupted !

How can this be stopped at the roots? We can sit here and talk about very sensible ways to stop the symptoms, but until the problem is addressed politically, they are just bands-aids.

I cannot tell you how many people look for the answers in these pill bottles or as a way to straighten up their kids....who are being kids.

What is the difference between that and trying to find it in a bottle of booze?

I do not advocate a parental style that is a free for all for the kid concerning his/her behavior, but to drug them to get them to comply is evil in my opinion.

I also feel for teachers. However, classroom size has much to do with the problems teachers experience to try to keep control.

Also, at times those indoctrinated in pharma practices are quick to blame Scientology for anything opposing the prescribing of antidepressants for normal behavior that is not society's current trendy ideas of "normal".

Milquetoast cookie cutter lifestyles are not what I consider normal .......unless one chooses this way to live for themselves. I fear for the future of our country when labeling anything outside of this box as undesirable.

Who makes these decisions on a persons' worth as a contributing member of society?

The fantasy of the media?

We need answers for these things.

I love the way everyone thinks on this page. It is so sad to know that society is captured by prescribsion drugs and bad food industry. Unfortunately $$$$$ is the big thing in our generation and our children and us are the victims to these selfish and reckless actions. There are a very few who will not let the capture happen "PEOPLE" like us. Nutrition to your body is #1 and the way you think of life in general (instead of ritalin). It has a huge impact (we all know that)to our kids. If you are happy with your life (not material stuff)and are content that would automatically make life already easier on your kids. I find it irritating that Doctors categorize kids as ADD, ADHD.....Kids should be treated as kids. There are the busy bodies, wild, quiet, calm....that is what makes all the different characters in people and each one deserves respect and acceptance. I truely believe as a Mom of three that a healthy diet and healthy mind to your kids is most important. And it would keep each kind of character happy in a good way!

Well said ! I would only add to that, let's not forget the criminal psychiatrists behind the scenes almost undetected, prescribing the drugs.

My appt. was broken into about 8 years ago, when I lived alone in a complex. The man responsible (he was caught because he was stupid enough to use my stolen credit card within a mile of my apt) was in his 30's and I was told by the DA's office that he was a meth. addict.  I commented that he looked like he could have been on drugs (thin and gaunt looking), but didn't seem to exhibit the shaky-nervous symptoms that one usually associates with methamphetamine use. Instead, he seemed much the opposite. The DA told me that they had learned that he had been on Ritalin as a child, and that as a result, the meth actually calmed him as the Ritalin had once done. I had never heard of this before or since, but she explained that it was actually more common that most people realize, as the extended use of Ritalin can alter the brain and so consequently, uppers can have the opposite affect of what they would have on an unaltered brain. The DA said that some of the people who are addicted to meth, who had been given Ritalin as children, claim they initially started taking the meth to calm them, which then led to their addiction.  She added that it certainly didn't mean that all children on Ritalin became drug users as adult, but she felt that there was a disproportionate amount who did. Her information was based on arrest records as opposed to medical fact, but it was something I never forgot. Has anyone else ever heard this theory?
