In 2002, President Bush created the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. This commission is now planning to screen every school child for ADHD, depression, social anxiety disorder, and behavior problems. Sounds like a good thing? Maybe not. Are all 52 million of our kids so screwed up that they all need to be tested? I remember taking a Psych 101 class in college. Every disease I read about I thought I had. Just because you read through a list of symptoms and think you have them does not mean that you should immediately start taking drugs.
Putting millions of more kids on drugs is not the answer. What can you do to stop this with your kids? It's simple. When you get a consent form from the school, refuse to sign it. Without your permission, they can't test your child and they can't give them drugs. So...say thank you but no thank you.
