In the absence of any objective medical
tests to determine who has ADD or ADHD, doctors rely in part on
standardized assessments and the impressions of teachers and guardians
while the they administer leave little room for other causes or
aggravating factors, such as diet, or environment. Hence, diagnosing a
child or adolescent with ADD or ADHD is often the outcome, although no
organic basis for either disease has yet to be clinically proven.
Psychiatrists may then prescribe psychotropic drugs for the children
without first without making it clear to parents that these medications
can have severe side-effects including insomnia, loss of appetite,
headaches, psychotic symptoms and even potentially fatal adverse
reactions, such as cardiac arrhythmia. And yet, despite these dangers,
many school systems actually work with government agencies to force
parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse with the
prospect of having their children taken from the home unless they
cooperate.
