INTRODUCTION Excerpted from an article by Kelly Patricia O'Meara for Insight Magazine "I think that part of what we've got to do, is to reflect on how we can both identify and get "help" to children who need it, whether or not they want it or are willing to accept it," declared first lady and wanna-be junior senator from New York, Hillary Rodham Clinton. The first lady's comment, put in the context of how to deal with tragedies such as the shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., was delivered to a standing-room-only crowd at the June 7, 1999 White House Conference on Mental Health. She was directly advocating the forced drugging of schoolchildren with psychotrophic drugs such as Ritalin. The first lady, however, was not alone in advocating this chilling agenda for dealing with schoolhouse behavioral problems. During the conference that critics dubbed a cheerleading session for the pharmaceutical industry, the president's mental health adviser and candidate for first lady, Tipper Gore, joined in leading the psychopharmacological charge. This Clinton-Gore team advocates identifying schoolchildren as mentally ill and requiring them to take psychotropic drugs to control any inattentive behavior. Members of the opposing team, which include a growing number of well?respected physicians who have spent their lives resisting subjective diagnoses of mental illnesses are astonished by such pronouncements. They told Insight they would jump at the opportunity to present their contrary data from such a highly visible platform as the well publicized Clinton-Gore White House conference but were not invited to offer opposing research. So what's going on here? Apparently looking at the real underlying causes of school?age violence, the announced reason for the Hillary-Tipper conference, was not on the agenda. Making a statement about the 6 million children being "treated" for ADHD with highly addictive stimulants, including Ritalin, did not fit that bill. Nor did even one of the distinguished speakers raise the issue revealing the dramatic connection between the then five most recent school shootings: All the accused shooters had been treated with psychotrophic drugs, including Ritalin, Luvox and Prozac. While it is insulting to many physicians who are aware of the fraud that is being perpetrated in the name of treating mental illness for men in positions of extreme power to continue to push the strict pharmacological line, this has been endemic in the Clinton-Gore administration. David Satcher, the U.S. Surgeon General, is a case in point. Fred Baughman, a pediatric neurologist dedicated to exposing fraudulent medical diagnoses of mental illnesses, took the Surgeon General to task for what Baughman called Satcher's (attempt to represent mental disorders as actual diseases." In response to a first?ever Surgeon General's Report on Mental illness, made public in December 1999, just months after the Columbine shooting tragedy, Baughman wrote to the nation's top medicine man asking, "Why have you chosen to be the first?ever Surgeon General to issue a report on mental health? As I have shown, it has little or nothing to do with medical science, bona fide diseases or epidemics. Have other factors motivated you? You might have addressed the biggest, most heinous epidemic of all, that of mandating Ritalin and other addictive, dangerous, even deadly amphetamines for 5?6 million entirely normal American children, as 'treatment' for the wholly fraudulent psychiatric 'disease' ADHD. "Your role in this deception and victimization is clear. Whether you are a physician so unscientific that you cannot read their contrived 'neurobiologic' literature and see the fraud, or whether you see it and choose to be an accomplice you should resign." Not everyone is buying the Clinton-Gore administration line. In mid?May (2000), a class-action lawsuit was filed in Dallas for alleged fraud and conspiracy in overpromoting the stimulant medication Ritalin. Three national defendants are named: Novartis Pharmaceutical Corp. (formerly Ciba Geigy), the manufacturer of Ritalin; CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), a parent's organization that is partially funded by the drug companies; and the APA (American Psychiatric Association)." SUMMARY "Childhood pranks and play have been unscientifically redefined by psychiatrists and psychologists as "disorders," creating a lucrative industry at the cost of children. No behavior seems spared: "Conduct Disorder" (CD), "Serious Reading Disorder" (SRD), "Serious Emotional Disorder" (SED), "Learning Disorder" (LD), "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD), "Attention Deficit Disorder" (ADD). | |
| "The number of children labeled as "ADHD" and "LD" has soared, especially following legislation providing financial incentives for children to be so diagnosed. Figures increase proportional to the number of psychologists and psychiatrists present in the educational system."
