A protest against psychiatric malpractice and pharmaceutical greed.

Psychiatry News Not Good.

When a psychiatrist pens his signature to a prescription for Ritalin for a child, he is effectively taking away that child’s future.  He might just as well be signing a death warrant.

 A 2010 Australian study conducted on children using Ritalin and other amphetamine-like drugs for ADHD -- the world’s first long term research on this -- showed that these children were ten times more likely to perform poorly at school than youngsters who avoided medication. 

These children also had significantly higher blood pressure at age fourteen than children who had never taken drugs.  They therefore have a much higher risk of heart attack or stroke in adulthood.

“Parents will be furious they have been conned into giving their children…amphetamines,” said West Australian Labor MP Martin Whitely, who welcomed the report.  “No responsible parent would knowingly increase their child’s chances of academic failure.”

Millions Affected...

Today 4,000,000 million children in the United States are on Ritalin.   

That’s just the tip of this destructive pharmaceutical iceberg.  It’s a cold, harsh reality to face, but psychiatrists continue to dangerously and needlessly medicate our children while they earn Big Pharma a cool $300 billion a year.

Our Purpose

Caveat 

Free Psychiatric News does not advocate the use of dangerous psychiatric medication.  Neither do we recommend, however, quitting prescription medications cold turkey.  If you wish to stop, consult your physician or health professional first to ensure you are weaning yourself on the proper gradient and with the appropriate nutritional aid.
