Question by fateridder: Teenscreen – just another way to put kids on drugs?
TeenScreen is a very controversial so-called “diagnostic psychiatric service”, aka suicide survey; done on children who are then referred to psychiatric treatment. The evidence suggests that the objective of the psychiatrists who designed TeenScreen is to place children so selected on psychotropic drugs.

“It’s just a way to put more people on prescription drugs,” said Marcia Angell, a medical ethics lecturer at Harvard Medical School and author of “The Truth About Drug Companies.” She said such programs will boost the sale of antidepressants even after the FDA in September ordered a “black box” label warning that the pills might spur suicidal thoughts or actions in minors.

Haven’t we figured this out yet?

The pharmaceutical companies are probably the most powerful group in the US today.

And the government and the pharms won’t be happy until we are all addicted to their happy pills.

I, for one, refuse to fall for their bs, and I definitely won’t drug my child so a teacher doesn’t have to deal with child-like behavior.

Our inherent laziness and utter inability to take responsibility for our (or our children’s) actions is killing us.
