I'm glad I grew up when I did. I wouldn't want to be one of these zombie kids. My bro's and I were bat shit crazy and they would of drugged us up if they could have. Mom split when I, the oldest was 12 because she couldn't take it anymore. Some time I think that parents just don't want to pay attention to their children anymore.

"the girl had been taking a potent cocktail of psychiatric drugs since age 2, when she was given a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder and bipolar disorder, which is characterized by mood swings" Jesus H. Christ, people, at the age of TWO? Two-year-olds have short attention spans and enormous mood swings by definition. It's how you can tell they're toddlers. This is medically-supported neglect by a pair of woodchucks who had a baby and then were surprised that they had to raise it. Also, "the girl had been taking"? Bullshit. Mummy and Daddy had been *giving* her the drugs. It's not like she was 24 and OD'd on her own accord.  With picture of what unfit parents look like.

See my comments regarding the Psychiatric profession in the 'Sister Banging' thread. God forbid learning parenting skills and the patience it requires...let's just drug the little fuckers and get on with watching American 'Idle' and munching cheese-puffs and moon-pies. Hey....its expensive to bring new drugs to market what with the animal and human trials, the advertising in the trades, paying off the pesky FDA, patent lawyers, insurance companies and the like. Let's simply diagnose EVERYONE with some vague malady or another so everyone gets to put money into the coffers of Merck, Lily, Pfizer, Squib, et al. Never underestimate the absolute fucking ignorance of the American populace regarding matters scientific. Why do you think my portfolio is heavily weighted with drug shares?

In the picture, could the mother look more like a pouty baby?! The sad thing is some kids do need this kind of help. Some do truly have mental illness problems, but to many parents are just looking for a quick fix. It's easier to drug them up than to do the actual work of parenting them. It's easier for the parents and the schools and profitable to the doctors and the drug makers. Most of the parents I have known that had children that really were mentally ill, the parents worked hard and tried many different things Before medication. They did not want their kids labeled or drugged until they saw that it was the best thing for the kids. Unfortunately too many cases are like this, young kids, stupid parents, and sorry doctors.

The opposite side of the problem....

ADD and bi polar is more than mood swings and running around hyper. Too many parents and their doctors diagnose and drug children claiming they are ADD or bipolar when all too often they are just being normal kids. But yes, some kids are rightfully diagnosed or tentatively diagnose at a young age, especially in cases where there is a family history. Most legitimate doctors hold off on dispensing medicine until the kids are older and/or clearly need it to function. And when they do begin medication it is usually started at very low doses and the mildest drug available. That is what good doctors working with good parents do.

And with all the kids being put on drugs and given improper diagnoses it only makes it harder for kids that really need help. And harder for parents that, god forbid, don't mind that their kids have all that normal child energy, and don't want their kid drugged even if it does make it easier for the teacher to have a class of zombies.

If they were constantly overdosing the kid, then why didn't the doctor or pharmacist catch it? Did they have an unlimited refill? My dad screwed up his phenobarbital once. The doctor told him that he was going to double the dose. He took it to mean to take 2 pills instead of 1. The doctor increased the milligrams. After a week, he calls to refill the prescription and the pharmacist says he had a 2 week supply. He was funny that week. I couldn't tell who was fucked up more, him on his pills or me on acid.

It's not news because the rate of diagnosis is not necessarily the rate of occurrence. Yes, many more children are being diagnosed with various mental disorders.

If you do use head meds, I think the trick is to find the minimum amount that will work. (A dab'll do ya.) When the doctor asks if it is working, think very carefully before you answer. I think most people think it's a magical happy pill that will transform their reality into cloudcuckooland and relieve them of all concern and responsibility. It doesn't, they tell the doctor it's not working, and the doctor ups the dose again and again until it starts to do harm.

I don't get it... Seroquel on the package and FDA recommendations is not to be given to people under 18...? How does a 2-4 year old get put on this? Too often active children, a badly parented child, and tantrum- prone toddlers get a diagnosis instead of being recognized as being in the realm of normal, but just badly behaved. I am tired of people plugging in a drug for personality differences because they don't fit into our pigeonholed life style. I think the reason the amount of "diagnosises" are up is because we fail to realize there is isn't really a disease, its just that the kids reflect how fucked up society is. Maybe we need to spend more time with our kids and not try and make them into Stepford Children. The psychiatrist should be in jail not the parents, they need to be neutered.

The pharmaceutical industry would like to see everyone a drug for anything imagineable. One commercial I saw looked like it was a joke; it was for a "restless leg syndrome" medication. "Restless leg syndrome?!?" WTF?!? One of my ex-girlfriends claims she is suffering from "Total Incurable Shock Syndrome". She says she got it when the Santa Cruz city police wouldn't send someone out to arrest me in Sydney, Australia back in 1998, and unsuccessfully sued the SCPD. I wonder whether Pfizer makes a medication for Total Incurable Shock Syndrome. (The breweries and distilleries already do.) How 'bout "I Want A Syndrome Too, Syndrome" and "All The Good Syndromes Are Already Taken Syndrome?" "Heinous Rectal Itch Syndrome" would probably be a good one. They could sell suppositories containing Tobasco Sauce for it. It's just getting silly. The other good commercials are the ones that advertise a drug with some random, meaningless name, but don't tell you what the drug does: "Ask your doctor if Shitacor is right for you." The concept that a two year-old toddler could be diagnosed as "bi-polar" is quackery of the worst sort. The psychiatrist who made this diagnosis is obviously nothing more than a drug industry shill.

Today's description of the mentally unfit: anyone who needs constant drugging to handle modern life, living in systemised society where only liars get ahead. Sure, you can argue that people are born bipolar(what evolutionary advantage can this provide? fast reflexes?) or that it comes along later in life e.g. After years told you are worthless and wrong by every authority figure in the hopes of "motivation" you fall further and further into learned-helplessness(cant win dont try mentality). This mentality leads to complete passiveness to friends, family and loved-ones - the providers of life's little benefits. Every now and then (esp. when life's day to day "necessities" aren't being provided) this person recieves a reality check - that they have no control over their own life, feelings of worthlessness from their ever-passive personality. The stream of consiciousness floods and unbridled anger results which gives a sense of power and reinforces the ego. After the bout of rage the passive persona deals with guilt by being more passive until the whole situation flames up again. Basically the bipolar person has lost touch with their feelings because they aren't allowed to voice them unless through frothing-at-the-mouth rage... They have reverted to the emotional state of a toddler. Treatment? Logic says to take the two poles of personality and find a happy medium... Somewhere between blaming yourself for all life's problems and blaming the world for all life's problems lies the pinacle zone of emotion: smacked-out zombie. The theory being if I person is hidden from themself then they become perfectly normal productive citizens. The brain thinks by moving around chemicals so lets throw a bunch of happy chemicals in there! Sure it doesn't teach people how to "help themselves" but... they can worry about that later. This is all... results producing, but what about the bigger picture? HOMEOSTASIS: The way your body keeps doing what it wants to do in spite of the environment, go out in the sun - get a tan, do steroids - your testicles shrink... do lots of cocaine, build up a tolerance by your brain no longer creating the chemicals cocaine overdoses the body with (hence the addiction/comedown). Same goes with SSRI's and anti-psychotics etc, in fact those 5 weeks+ you have to be constantly on these drugs for before you see an improvement are the time it takes your brain to adapt, ie stop making the chemicals in these drugs naturally in the brain. It is argued whether these effects are permanent but the conclusion seems to be "Who cares just take more drugs". Eli Lilly and its competitors are the perfect example of capitalism starting to eat itself: not only do they brainwash through advertising the idea that because you're a biological cavemen not being 100% productive in society means there is something deeply wrong with your core being; but they OWN the entire psychological profession. Getting published in a psychological journal is the biggest stepping stone for any psychologist but when the majority of their advertising is paid for by prozac all articles published must be in their interests. Same goes for scholarships, dr's offices etc etc Today's answer to mental illness is drug addiction - I choose weed
