Beware, kids! Drugs against mischief

Posted in Featured Articles, Misc on 10 11th, 2009 | one response

Only twenty percent of children (up to sixteen years) in the U.S. sleep nine hours a day, which is considered a necessary relaxation for people in developing.

The fact sounds like a quote from a dark scientific book In the United States there are more and more children to whom doctors prescribe medicines against various mental disorders. Here we are taking about very dangerous medicines: antipsychotic medicines. What is happening with the children? Or maybe the adults are losing their minds and are poisoning their own children? A very hard argument is lead in US; medical reports say that lots of doctors give to children antipsychotic medicines (which are made for the most severely psychic sickness), is not due to psychosis, but behavioral disorders, for example, due to reduced attention!

On the other hand it is not still proved how these drugs influence on children and what do they cause. And during the last ten years the number of children in the U.S. consume such drugs has increased by five times.

Child has no attention, it is restless and it is not behaving well is a reason to be alarmed and drug the child or it is just seeking for attention? What is your choice? What would you do? Are there other ways to solve the problem or you should run to the doctor and do it the easier way, just by giving to the child a medicine? There are 2, 5 millions of children in USA who are taking dangerous medicines for misbehaving. Out of 1000 children 40 are taking these medicines! The strange thing is that no one except doctors stands by the children, not even their parents.

Doctor William Cooper a pediatrician in children hospital “Vanderbilt” claims that some doctors sometimes under pressure from parents transcribe these medicines, claiming that it is impossible, disobedient, too cheery, can not focus on learning. The parents want their child to be obedient and best in class. Looking for a magic pill for that?
