"The Italian children who take drugs every day ranging from 30,000 to 60,000," writes Hon. Patrizia Paoletti Tangheroni parliamentary presented in the question last week, apart from a few days' interrogation of Senator Maurice Eufemi , always on the same topic. The concern is further justified by the fact that the suppositions of the "disease" are continually put into question: Leiber FDA states that "No aspect pathophysiological disorder has yet been outlined, "Dr. Fred Baughman ,
in his book" The Future of ADD, "he writes:" Both the FDA and the DEA
recognized that ADHD is not a disease, or organic or organic ".
But if there is a chemical imbalance, because it tries to treat with chemicals? The active ingredients most commonly used are two: methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin, and atomoxetine.
Treatment can start early because they already had eight years, many children receive the first pill. It 'hard to believe that at that age a child can realize the consequences it faces, with substances that in many cases lead to addiction. The Prozac for example, the threshold of administration was increased from 18 to 8 years only recently, almost a thousand different can cause side effects, are also known cases of suicide, the same goes for the Ritalin, an amphetamine, reintroduced in Italy recently.
Once professionals were teachers, today we have the psycho-pedagogical and equipped with high-sounding "psychological project", based on behavior control, entered the school, administering tests, questionnaires unlikely
scientific validity, evaluates the results and then label the child as any difficulties can easily fall in some "psychiatric disorder" such as ADHD or dyscalculia, the dysorthography, etc ... parents are never fully informed about exactly what will be done with these projects, which are often the most varied and psychological questionnaires that solicit information on invasive child and family are often completed without the consent of their parents, let alone how to use the information collected, how it will be evaluated and where else to go. Often the labels remain in the history of the pupil that if taken forward in subsequent years and the parents are unaware that their child has been filed.
Many children are then addressed in neuropsychiatry centers that are the point entry into drug treatment instead of educational and social interventions. There are
40 active in the country and those are 112 accredited . E 'was also set up a national register , to monitor the administration of psychotropic drugs in the field.
on this issue is therefore essential to informed consent and an unmistakable clarity and transparency in the citizen, about these initiatives carried out on children and any possible effect of the drugs used which otherwise would have very serious side effects. Without the coercion of "veiled" threats if they refuse to administer psychotropic drugs to their children or their children to undergo treatment psychological.
screening of children to "localize" mental illness is not something new. This instrument is reflected in the practices of Nazi Germany to cleanse the society from the "lower elements". In 1930, Ernst Rudin, the founder of psychiatric genetics and between the designers of the Holocaust during a speech at the International Congress
Mental Hygiene, held in Washington DC, proposed a unified approach to eugenics to weed out those who are known carriers of "hereditary". Topping the list of "defects" which the American eugenicists were drafted later, there was the "attention deficit disorder." As a direct result of the eugenics movement of psychological American schools to carry out the screening practices of children, and those who were admitted "idiot, imbecile and moron were all medical conditions, were used to define different levels of delay or mental incapacity."
To date less than 17 million children worldwide have been diagnosed with "mental disorders".
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights recommended that information carefully, not easy to accept psychiatric diagnoses both for themselves and for their children, but require accurate medical tests.
