Ritalin: Child Abuse On Prescription?
An article by a campaigning journalist in the UK, analysing the marketing and
use of Ritalin and related medications.
Ritalin: Child Abuse On Prescription? Family doctors are these days frequently under pressure (usually from teachers and social workers who know nothing about drug therapy and probably understand nothing about the way the international drug industry operates) to prescribe the drug called Ritalin for children who are accused of behaving badly behaved, reported as not doing well at school and `diagnosed' as suffering from something called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (known as ADHD)
For several decades now Ritalin, and other amphetamine type drugs, have been prescribed for children diagnosed as suffering from various types of brain dysfunction and hyperactivity
(Other psychostimulants which have, at one time or another, been regarded as competitors to Ritalin have included Dexedrine)
What child isn't impulsive occasionally? What child doesn't cry and laugh (that's what emotional lability means)? What child cannot be distracted? One big worry I have is that Ritalin could be recommended for any child who seemed bored and restless or who exhibited unusual signs of intelligence or skill
`Is Ritalin a drug in search of a disease?' wrote one author, and it isn't difficult to see why
