    Default The medicated child

    Is this special show. That will be on channel 11. I was talking about some of the issues. That will be dicuss in this show. How the number of children. Taking these drugs for mental health. Is not healthy and seem more like an experiment. For those of you who do not know, their an conspiracy going on. I am not saying the doctors. Do not care for the children. They are only doing what is taught. What is taught is issue thru drug companies. Put in thier books, with other theory that was well research.

    Anyhoo back to the show. It will be on tuesday on channel 11. Which his wttw!

    ^ haha. I don't know if it's conspiracy as much as old fashion greed. If drug companies can market mental illness as mainstream enough to sell crap loads of their products than that is what they'll do.

    I think it is scandalous how prevalent some of these drugs are. And how doctors are uneducated and uncaring enough to prescribe them so readily and parents don't question them. They think they have all of the information, and it isn't that simple.

    Is that an ABC/NBC network type channel or is it a cable channel? I would be really interested in watching the show.I know some people think giving meds to kids is the worst thing ever, and some think that giving them to their children gives them a fighting chance in this world, so I'd love to see how the program goes about both sides of the issue.

    I'm one of those kids that was medicated at a very early age, so I'd like to see what slant the show is going to use to prove it's point

    Yes, Ginger it is like ABC/NBC it is public television. I cant wait to see it also! They have one of the girls. Who talks about how the medication makes her feel normal. In the comerical. The name of the show is call " The Medicated child". You can look in the newspaper for the tv listing in your area. The station name is wttw.

    I was medicated at a young age with Ritalin. I hate that shit. Made me want to absolutely knock the shit out of someone. I took it for years, and I went from fighting mad, to wanting to throw myself in front of the school bus. I always wonder if I was diagnosed wrong, as I know many Aspies are misdiagnosed with ADD and not accompanied with Asperger's syndrome. I also considered taking the other ADD pill but I would have to get it from my brother, who needs it much more than I ever will. I haven't taken ritalin since I flushed bottle at thirteen.

    It can be a Godsend or a blessing.

    I've seen kids who could not focus and who had no friends because they were so strange become normal and happy with APPROPRIATE medication.

    I've also seen kids who were no overmedicated that all they could do in school was put their head on their desk and drool.

    From what I have seen, many parents are afraid to try seeing a doctor for fear of adverse reactions. Lots of kids who could have been helped weren't.

    But then there are the other parents who keep pushing for prescriptions, and stronger doses. There are not as many of these, but they do exist.

    The informed decision to medicate is a medical one, not parental, not educational. Parents should do what is best for their child, and that includes getting medical advice from the right physician. Family practice and pediatricians are not the right ones. Only a pediatric psychiatrist should be prescribing these medications.

    Yes true hun, The parents should do whats best for the child. This show is sheding light that the medince that was given is experitmental. That these drugs do help some children. But not all, and the fact that doctors are passing them out so freely. Is not the best thing.


    Now, A lot parents listen to the doctor. Instead of listening to there instincts. Really you need to wacth the show. It is also a fact that doctors miss diagnose children. Giving them the wrong medications. A lot of thought and studies went into this, so give the show a wacth. This is such a senstive issue.
