ADHD—Labeling normal kids "mentally ill"

Video Information

ADHD is a bogus mental "disorder" based off a checklist of behaviors. There are no medical tests to prove any child has ADHD, yet more than 4.5 million kids have been diagnosed and put on drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta, which the U.S. DEA places in the same highly addictive category of drugs as cocaine, morphine and opium. The "checklist" for ADHD could fit any normal child and literally includes such ridiculous criteria as
"loses pencils or toys"
"often does not seem to listen"
"is easily distracted by extraneous stimuli" (what kid isn't?)
"fidgets"
" runs about or climbs excessively in situations when it is not appropriate" (we are talking about KIDS here... right?)
To summarize; there are no blood tests, brain scans, chemical imbalance tests, X-rays or "genetic" factors to prove any child has a mental "illness" called ADHD. This is simply a list of child-like behaviors that psychiatrists clustered together, repackaged as a mental disorder and the result is a multi billion dollar empire -- the child labeling and drugging industry.

TrueGenerationGirl Posted 8/2/2011 9:19:33 PM	Im seventeen and I have known people who have taken medications for their so called "ADHD" problem. Kids need to be kids, it makes absolutly NO sense to put children on toxic chemicals to correct something they don't even have. If a child is acting like this, its most likely food coloring, aspertame, poor diet, or them not getting enough attention.
