"Labeling Kids with Bogus 'Mental Disorders"



This may be one of the most brilliant videos I have seen to date. What this video portrays is something i feel full heartedly is truth and needs to stop. Labeling kids with ADHD or ADD and giving them prescriptions for these things never made sense to me.  Even with a lot of those other psychiatric labels, kids and people are all different and have different learning curves. 

Another thing though is the cultural thought processes about psychiatric labels that give the stigma. Its not just the doctors but how the media and public relations people twist the ideas of the labels to the public. 

And the drugs they give to the kids will probably do longer lasting harm them helping kids to cope with  whatever their mentally dealing with. Let the damn kids be kids!

HERE is a cool article to read on the subject.
