The number of prescriptions for psychotropic drugs for children has

more than doubled between 1995 and 2000. This revealing documentary by

Gary Null details the devastating consequences of this excessive

medicating of our children with mind-altering drugs.

 

The film focuses on children who have been diagnosed with attention

deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), even though evidence to verify

such a diagnosis is lacking.

 

Instead, kids are often labeled with ADHD simply for acting like kids:

fidgeting, speaking out of turn, not wanting to sit still, and being

hyper.

 

The diagnosis of ADHD is often made based on anecdotal evidence and

standardized assessments from parents and teachers, without giving

consideration to other potential factors like home life, diet, and

environmental toxins.

The end result for kids diagnosed with ADHD, as the video shows, is

almost always medications.

 

If you've ever wondered why kids were rarely committing suicide or

violent acts in schools when YOU were growing up, this essential video

may shed some insight.
