News from Osteomed and NMA Media-Press

An article called, "The Wholesale Sedation of America's Youth", struck me as infomation everyone needs to know more about.

The article is long but worth reading --and worth printing out for your friends. Some points are listed below. NOTE: The article is about children, but very much also applies to adults.

Sixty years ago, it was virtually impossible for a child to be considered mentally ill. Today, it is estimated that at least eight million children, ages two to eighteen, are receiving prescriptions for ADD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, autism, simple depression, schizophrenia and dozens of other mental disorders.

In the 1980s and 1990s, a new form of psychiatry in the US grew out of a treatment style used in clinics and institutions for the profoundly disturbed. German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin, not Freud, was the God of these mental hospitals, and pharmaceuticals were the panacea. His influence changed the way emotional disease was diagnosed and treated.

Psychiatry, which had straddled psychology and medicine for a hundred years, abruptly abandoned psychology for the easy passing out of pills. The change was profound.

People seeking treatment were no longer clients, they are now patients.
Emotional complaints were now considered a disease caused by the vague science of "chemical imbalances."
Disturbances were inherited illnesses, like birth defects, that could not be cured except by some future magic, genetic bullet.

The goal was not to cure, but to treat symptoms chemically. Today, this is done with astonishing ease and with a growing number of mind-altering synthetic drugs.

For children, emotions and reactions to events of childhood have been thoroughly and effectively redefined. Virtually every single undesirable impulse of children has taken on pathological proportions and diagnostic significance. Yet, if the psychiatric community is wrong in their theories and hypotheses, then a generation of parents has been deluded while millions of children have been sentenced to a lifetime of ingesting powerful and dangerous drugs. read more
