How Simple is it to be Diagnosed ADHD and on Drugs for Life.

The American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic manual the DSM. There is a list of 18 behaviors, from which a teacher can check off behaviors they observe in the potential patient or student. If one checks six or more of the nine, the individual is deemed to have ADHD. It is that easy to be diagnosed and on drugs for life. Some schools allow teachers to do just that, and push the kid on drugs or force them to leave the school.
Psychiatry looks at ADHD as a biologic abnormality of the brain, or a neurobiologic disorder. Thus if you have six or more of the nine so called behavior items on their list then you are considered to have a physical abnormality of the brain. Then the new prospective patient is then convinced they have an abnormality, so they take the drug. It appears to be so simple to get this diagnosis in the US and Western Europe and be on a drug for life. It is unbelievable that there is not an outrage over it. There are potentially about six million children on ADHD drugs in the US currently. All based on a simple gotcha test.
Dr. Peter Breggin talked about a real scenario with a zoo animal. There was a caged animal, a polar bear, in the zoo in Toronto, who was pacing up and down and looking uncomfortable, and looking like he'd really like to go back to the Arctic or the Antarctic. And they put him on Prozac, and he stopped pacing. His name was Snowball. He sat quietly and looked happy. And animal rights people gathered to the zoo and protested the drugging of a polar bear to make him into a good caged animal, and he was taken off the drug.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were human rights groups all over the western world fighting for children to be drug free? CCHR is one such group fighting for your child to be drug free. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a society where psychiatry paid a price for any diagnosis and were forced to reveal real reasons behind their diagnosis? I mean real accountability.

Psychiatry Actually Votes Disorders into Existence

Psychiatry's billing "Bible,” The Diagnostic & Statistical Manual (DSM)

We found this from CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights

Psychiatry’s diagnostic criteria are literally voted into existence and inserted into the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM). They are currently on DSM5. What is voted in is a system of classification of symptoms that is drastically different from, and foreign to, anything in medicine. None of the diagnoses are supported by objective evidence of physical disease, illness or science.
“There are no objective tests in psychiatry, no X-ray, laboratory, or exam finding that says definitively that someone does or does not have a mental disorder.”
—Allen Frances, Former DSM-IV Task Force Chairman
“DSM-IV is the fabrication upon which psychiatry seeks acceptance by medicine in general. Insiders know it is more a political than scientific document…DSM-IV has become a bible and a money making bestseller—its major failings notwithstanding.”
—Loren Mosher, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry
“The way things get into the DSM is not based on blood test or brain scan or physical findings. It's based on descriptions of behavior. And that’s what the whole psychiatry system is.” —Dr. Colin Ross, psychiatrist
“We can manufacture enough diagnostic labels of normal variability of mood and thought that we can continually supply medication to you…But when it comes to manufacturing disease, nobody does it like psychiatry.” —Dr. Stefan Kruszewski, Harvard trained Pennsylvania psychiatrist, 2004
“In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of ‘disease,’ formalizing them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing diagnostic codes to them, which in turn leads to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an extended racket furnishing psychiatry a pseudo-scientific aura. The perpetrators are, of course, feeding at the public trough.” —Dr. Thomas Dorman, internist and member of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK, Fellow, Royal College of Physicians of Canada
