Above is the Ugly Liar Beast doing the Devil's bidding: all of these non-advocate organizations get the majority of their money/funding from the very people that make these poison drugs! That's called "A MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST" and not advocating for anyone except their own pockets.
Lets break down what these non-advocates are saying while collecting those huge checks from Big Pharma. They equate behavioral disorders and schizophrenia to cancer. They call these behavioral disorders genetic, a disease, chemical imbalance, and organically based. Yet, there is no proof or science that can confrim their hypothesis; because its just a guess.
How do their treatments work? Well, they use heavy and powerful tranquilizers that quash the complete person and all their functioning facilities. This is not treatment, this is just chemical restraint for all intent and purposes. If you followed their illogical conclusions; you would use chemo to treat a common wart.
They ignore the damage and possible crippling side effects because they don't care. They have their stake and vested interest in this psychiatric nightmare and myth; which is all or nothing type thinking.
This is not advocacy in even the broadest or outlandish interpretation. Did you notice they say access to safe treatments! A Typical Anti Psychotics are not safe or considered reasonable in children. They have proven side effects that are disabling, permanent, and can cause death.
They are deadly and damaging alternatives of the very last resort and should be only considered as an extreme last option for behavioral control and not as a treatment. Sedation is not or should it ever be thought of as a treatment; it is just chemical restraint of the most intrusive kind.
Child Bipolar is a false diagnosis and is not recognized by the rest of the civilized world. Let's take their myth and scare tactic statement for instance "Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are very real, life-threatening diseases".
This is a complete and utter lie, since behaviors cannot be classified as a disease {look at their cancer comparison as the ludicrous statement it is}, Show us the disease that is bipolar or schizophrenia? They can not show us the pathology, because it does not exist. So their hypothesis and theory is at best a guess, and in the way they are using it "A COMPLETE LIE".
Their next lie "These alarming statistics highlight the need for early recognition and treatment, which offers children and adolescents their best chance to achieve and maintain wellness." They are on a witch hunt for something they themselves created {How convenient is that}.
I can only guess they call a reduction in brain mass and function at the rate of 1% per year from these drugs ACHIEVING and WELLNESS? How about all those kids that will be Obese, develop TD, diabetes, heart disease, and a whole host of other permanent conditions including death; Do they consider that ACHIEVING and WELLNESS also?
Next Falsehood "scientific discourse about all pharmacologic treatments". We know there is little science behind their claims. We know about the junk reports and studies that were created and cherry picked by Pharmaceutical Corporations and Ghost Written to mislead the effectiveness of their products and down play and hide any side effects. We know they have marketed these drugs to doctors off label in violation of the law. We know there are no long term studies on the effects these drugs will have upon child populations. We do know they have killed and disabled kids! IS THIS THE SCIENCE THEY ARE REFERRING TOO?

WASHINGTON, June 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The below listed groups issued the following statement regarding the upcoming FDA Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee Meeting on June 9-10: Joint Statement on Atypical Antipsychotic Use in Children by those organizations listed at top of this post.
As advocates for people living with mental illnesses, we strongly urge the FDA to carefully consider the importance of viable treatment options for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in pediatric and adolescent populations. Access to safe and effective treatments, including more information about all treatment options, is crucial to treating these serious and complex conditions in children and adolescents.
Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are very real, life-threatening diseases which can appear in childhood and adolescence. For example, federally funded research (STEP-BD) found that, of 3,658 adult patients studied, 68% reported bipolar disease onset in childhood or adolescence. Patients with child onset had, on average, fewer days of euthymia (or neutral mood), greater impairment in functioning and poorer quality of life. Those with adolescent onset have better outcomes than those with child onset, but were still worse off than those who did not suffer from bipolar disorder until adulthood. These alarming statistics highlight the need for early recognition and treatment, which offers children and adolescents their best chance to achieve and maintain wellness.
We encourage an open and transparent scientific discourse about all pharmacologic treatments that come before the Advisory Committee and urge the Committee to carefully weigh the available evidence regarding safety and efficacy. No one treatment option works for all children. In order for physicians and families to make informed treatment decisions they need access to a full range of medications and treatment options and to the research regarding the risks and benefits of these treatments. More long-term clinical research in children and adolescents is also needed to better understand the risks and benefits of these medications when used over an extended period.
As we know, these medications can also have serious side effects, which is why it is crucial that parents and physicians have as much information as possible in order to make informed decisions and weigh the risk of side effects and adverse reactions against the risk of not treating these very serious diseases. Other treatments for grave childhood illnesses such as cancer can cause hair loss, nausea, compromised immune systems and even death. However, few people question the necessity of these aggressive forms of treatment. Like cancer, aggressive treatment may be needed for some patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, diseases with a higher risk of death than some forms of cancer.
The best way to protect the health of our nation's children and adolescents is to increase access to treatment options and communicate accurate, scientific information that helps parents and physicians cope with and properly treat these devastating illnesses.
Our non-profit national mental health advocacy and medical professional organizations represent consumers, physicians, researchers and the top experts in the field of mental health and neuroscience. For more information about mental illness and treatment, we recommend that you talk to your health care provider or visit our organization websites.
