Kid’s view of psych drugs

New video on mandatory mental health screening
I’m of the opinion that mandatory mental health screening is nuts. There are politicians and lobby groups from the APA and Big Pharma in Washington DC right now pushing “The Mother’s Act”, which should really be called the “Medicating All Mothers” Act. The real purpose of this lobbying effort is to get a whole new […]

Teen Screen = More Psych Drugs Paid for with Tax Dollars
This is an interesting video from CCHR on Teen Screen, the insidious effort by the P$ych industry to get guaranteed funding for mandatory screening of all children from zero to 18, all pregnant mothers-to-be and all new mothers. My take on this is very easy to state: Don’t let this happen. When an industry as […]
