Educate all concerned with the well-being of children on the documented risks of psychotropic drugs. Help Advocate for social change. Stop Drugging Children
When it comes time for a parent or caregiver to make a medical decision for their child, particularly one that carries potential risks, they must have enough information to make an educated, informed decision. https://t.co/ssJO7PZK1z
Here are interviews with psychiatrists at the American Psychiatric Association in 2006. Now 20 years later they still have no confirmatory tests for any mental disorder, they still play trial and error with drugs and still have no idea if the drugs will "work" or not.
@milinddeora@EliLillyandCo@MoHFW_INDIA India is already becoming dumping ground for ADHD drugs. Our Children are labelled left right and centre by these international schools and pediatricians just to increase the sale of ADHD drugs. Yes, at the cost of spirit of out children.
💊 Children are being put on antidepressants and antipsychotics before the age of 10.
“I have a brain injury from antidepressants.”
“I was prescribed psychiatric drugs… at just 7 years old.”
“I was far too young to understand… the lasting impact they would have on my developing brain.”
“The drugs later created the very disability they claimed I had.”
“This spiraled into a prescription cascade of antidepressants… and antipsychotics, all before my 10th birthday.”
This week alone 2 different friends contacted me to tell me how their children, a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old are on potent psychiatric drugs & having fits of rage, extreme agitation, outbursts & uncharacteristic behaviour 💔 #prescribedharm#crimesagainsthumanity
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) categorizes ADHD drugs in the same category of highly addictive drugs as cocaine and morphine. The DEA states that their use can lead to "severe psychological or physical dependence" https://t.co/MbASw1kv8E

Diagnosing (pathologizing) troubled children as mentally disordered is a huge industry whether incarcerating them in behavioral or psychiatric facilities, wilderness camps or subjecting them to psychological behavior modification programs. https://t.co/Vjux1uOK5M
My California bill A.C.T. will be heard in the CA Human Services Committee tomorrow led by @alex_lee 🙏#SB1043 requires @CaliforniaDSS to publicly display critical information about the use of restraints and seclusion rooms in youth care facilities. @ShannonGroveCA and I have been requesting critical data from them for over 6 months and counting… California youth deserve to be advocated for and I will not stop fighting!
ADHD drugs—The FDA just issued a new black box warning on ADHD drugs and addiction (even when taken as prescribed). There are many more side effects parents should know about here— https://t.co/nU4onDR8Oi
There are numerous alternatives to psychiatric diagnoses & drugs including standard medical care that does not require a stigmatizing and subjective psychiatric label or a mind-altering psychotropic drug. https://t.co/uKqh2kfpcq
