Is It OK For The Government To Force Children To Receive Psychiatric Drugs?

Opinion One:

The U.S. Government must not support mandatory mental health screenings, or the increase of subjective psychiatric diagnosis of Americans that then demand their taking dangerous psychiatric drugs or undergoing other harmful treatments. (Source)

Opinion Two:

President Bush said,

"... Americans must understand and send this message: mental disability is not a scandal - it is an illness. And like physical illness, it is treatable, especially when the treatment comes early."  (source)

In a transformed mental health system, the early detection of mental health problems in children and adults - through routine and comprehensive testing and screening - will be an expected and typical occurrence.

My Comments Are: We don't know what "mental illness" really is. Diagnosis is subjective and culturally insensitive and even biased. "Diagnosis" often obscures other, more complicated problems, like parental substance abuse, domestic violence, childhood neglect, poor or inappropriate educational setting, unreasonable teacher expectations, or hides real medical problems like thyroid disorders, poor diet, lack of sleep, sleep apnea, or a score of other possible issues. Each family has a right to decide about medical treatment, especially where such subjective criteria are used. Until the mental health industry can come up with interventions that are more sensitive, less dangerous, and more effective, I definitely oppose any "screening" based on the desire of the mental health industry to get more clients.

My Comments Are:

The government needs to stay out of the health care arena. As a nurse who holds a bachelor degree in nursing and a master degree in health service administration, I have seen the health care system worsen with increased interventions from the government.

I have learned in the last ten years that most of the chronic physical and mental conditions people are suffering from/with are due to inadequate nutrients.

This is caused by the agricultural methods used today (since the government has been helping farming industry) and the processing of foods (stripping them of natural nutrients -- if any are left -- and adding in synthetic nutrients that our bodies cannot utilize.

Throwing pharmaceuticals into our bodies or the bodies of our children is compounding the damage.

Our family is pharmaceutical free in the last 7 or 8 years due to our intake of nutraceuticals and natural vitamins/nutrients and organic foods and meats without hormones/antibiotics.

My message to the government: stay out of our lives! Let us (according to the Constitution) make our own decisions for our health and the health of our children.

Well done, and thanks.

I don't believe this is an issue the government needs to have it's nose in. I would much rather them concentrate their efforts on nutrition (a subject which the FDA doesn't have a clue), but if the students were fed the proper nutrients, they would do better in school; getting the drug traffic away from schools and out of our country as well as tobacco of any form.

Dear Sandy,

a persons mental state is not a political imperative, especially if they are not promoting revolution or violence. we have a rich field of artists of all medium who would not match up to the right wing agenda.

would they be suspect and treated as political pariahs? I also think that anyone who promotes war has mental problems, unless they have ulterior (economic) motives

Dear Nzo,

Thanks for your comments -- the psychiatric drugs are just as common on all parts of the political spectrum.

Going to the doctor these days is so depressing that of course they think we need antidepressants.

My new Family Doctor continued to try to push antidepressants on me for some vague reason until we got into an outright argument. I told him I didn't like the way I am when on them and neither does my husband.

He responded by saying that HE didn't like the way I was NOW.

His records state that I am non-compliant. Now every future doctor reads this and suggests that I may need antidepressants.

Am I paying the doctor MY money to badger me?

I sense that there is a powerful evil force behind all this. The government's intrusion would add another layer of evil.

But this notion reveals my paranoia and there is a drug for that also.

Syl

Dear Syl,

You are so right -- in every comment.

My wife went through cancer treatment up to a point -- and finally told the doctor she refused more chemo or radiation.

He promptly referred her for "psychological counseling" because, "obviously," she must be crazy to prefer death to more of the torture from those treatments.  (Click to read my formal letter of complaint about this and other "official" bad service.)

You have to be willing to fight off these evils -- and it is often an individual and personal battle.

I hope I've helped you be firm in your resolve.

My mother & I were victims of forced drugging. She was forced to take Milltown & other drugs from the age of 27.

I was 6 years old so remember clearly.

She was forced to take them till she died from a massive coronary 'they said' at the age of 45.

I had a breakdown from anorexia at 24 & was given a shock treatment and put on thorazine, stellazine & artane, this was in 1974. My mother died in 1975.

For the next year after her death, I encouraged the psychiatrist to cut my dosages in half each three months with the threat of going off them cold turkey.

Knew from my mothers experience that was not a good thing. So in June of 1976 I stopped taking all the meds. When I saw the doc 3 months later he told me that I would have a nervous breakdown & not know it till I was locked up again.

He would not listen when I told him it was a case of malnutrition & physical breakdown for not eating in over a month. I'd become angry with the way I was being treated by spouse at the time and that was my only course, I thought. I had been diagnosed as schizo.

I'm 54 years old now and there has not been a reoccurrence. I don't starve my self anymore.

By the Grace of God. I was misdiagnosed and drugged when it wasn't needed.

Thanks for listening.

Tawny

PS Hope my vote can help someone be spared what my Mother & I endured. My Mother's story, every time she showed anger her folks had her locked up & drugged. All she needed was someone to listen to her.

Dear Tawny,

These screenings sound a lot like something the drug companies would be in favor of - sell more pills - get more government funding - keep us in work forever.

Almost the same as the cholesterol fiasco - next year they may lower the threshold again - sell more pills. I was not aware that there was so many mentally ill people around...

I hoping this is clear. I used to replace my emotionally disturbed children's Ritalin with a cup of black tea in the 1970's.

The kids had better days on the tea. ADD is a way of getting attention, which most of us get too little of, therefore we are attention deficit. If parents would turn off the TV, and read, or play games with their children, much of these psychiatric drugs wouldn't be needed.

Human interaction helps, which I believe is the main way psychotherapy works, by providing a caring connection.

I know some of these things first hand, as I was diagnosed a manic depressive by 2 psychiatrists, in the middle of a divorce, in which they had given me Prozac, and then lithium and wellbutrin.

I have been drug free for 8 years, with diet and exercise since then. They have both rescinded their diagnoses, but still continue as psycho pharmacologists.

Most drugs will cause a need for more drugs, because they severely disturb the normal chemistry of the body, with severe side effects.

I have personally seen the mess, as the kids go from Ritalin, to anti-anxiety, then stronger cocktails.

The solution is to work with natural remedies, such as foods, herbs and homeopathy, they don't have the side effects. It would be much cheaper also.

Dear Rusty,

Your story will help -- thank you.

I had a child who had anxiety - compulsive problems.

She went to numerous psychiatrists & psychologist & twice to a mental health hospital.

She started out with excessive hand washing & panic attacks. After 3 years of treatment she became self abusive [cuts & burns] and suicidal. It became obvious that psychotherapy & drugs & hospitalization was causing her condition to become worse.

Once the treatment stopped because she refused to go along with it, the suicide attempts and self abuse stopped.

The mental health system & drugs can be dangerous. Don't automatically trust doctors, drugs, and government they are not GOD!

Allopathic drugs only treat the symptoms.

Balance must be restored. Cradle to grave government structure must be repealed.

Pay attention and love your children, give them choices early on, encourage them to wonder and be responsible.

Eat fresh live food, plenty of water and tell them the benefits of eliminating at least twice a day.

Enjoy nature.

Dear Owen,

You are SO right -- the inroads of psychiatric drugs could never have started had the "less dangerous" drugs had any effectiveness.

I think it seems "logical" for a healthy person who gets sick to look for a remedy. The error, then, is choosing allopathic, when something (not covered by insurance) would do the job.

Allopathic drugs, as you say, treat only symptoms, and often aggravate those!  So, with failures abounding, people turn ("logically") to stronger allopathic drugs.

Finally, there seems no where to go -- but the mood-altering drugs.

If you can NOT cure it, then "feel good about it!"

The path that got us HERE seems plain -- you've put your finger on it -- but can we NOW return to nature without dealing with the menace that soon could engulf those who don't see your truth, or heed your advice?

What do you think?

Mandatory mental health screening is a dangerous & retrograde step as one cannot be too sure of the mental health of the very screening officials.

This will only promote the drug companies and their unethical formulations -- not the health of the children and public a large.

This portends a huge induced mental sickness in the future populations -- a program sponsored by the state.

I feel so strongly about this, and this was such a shock, that I, after having donated some hundreds of dollars to the Bush reelection campaign, and after thinking that Kerry is a dud and dangerous, Conclude that if Bush does not announce, publicly, his reversal of support for mandatory psychiatric screening, I will eagerly vote for Kerry and work to defeat Mr. Bush.

No matter how dangerous the terrorists may seem, the dangers of forced psychiatric drugging are greater -- even if not recognized by the majority of people -- yet.
