CCHR Co-founder Dr. Thomas Szasz Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus
Dr. Thomas Szasz is Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at the State University of New York Health Science Center, Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute and a Lifetime Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. He is perhaps the world’s leading social critic of the moral and scientific foundations of psychiatry, having authored more than 35 books on the subject, starting with The Myth of Mental Illness, a book which rocked the world of psychiatry upon its release more than 50 years ago.
What’s Wrong with Psychiatry? A Psychiatrist Explains…
Dr. Niall McLaren, a practicing psychiatrist for 22 years, explains what is wrong with the psychiatric profession: That this is an industry which cannot take criticism, for fear the entire model of biological psychiatry will unravel. That there is no science to psychiatric diagnoses, no brain based diseases. And that psychiatry only pushes mental disorders as biological disease in order to convince people to take psychiatric drugs, causing a host of dangerous side effects.
Shane Ellison, award-winning chemist and former pharmaceutical scientist
Shane Ellison has a masters degree in organic chemistry and is a two-time recipient of the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Grant for his studies in biochemistry and physiology. Here Shane exposes the inner workings of the psycho/pharmaceutical industry, the manufacture and marketing of psychiatric drugs and the fact that the psycho/pharma industry is well aware their drugs do not cure anyone. He previously worked for both Array BioPharma and Eli Lilly.
Green Mental Health: An Alternative to Toxic Psychiatric Drugs
Psychiatry’s solution to life’s problems is the administration of mind-altering toxic drugs which according to the FDA can cause mania, worsening depression, anxiety, delusions, seizures, liver failure, suicide, mania, heart attack, stroke, fatal blood clots, sudden death, diabetes and much more. Green Mental Health Care is a non-toxic, non-additive and non-invasive approach to mental health which focuses on workable medical, not psychiatric, solutions that have better patient outcomes and are not harmful or toxic to those seeking help…
Dr. Hyla Cass: First Do No Harm
Psychiatrist Hyla Cass describes how most psychiatrists simply label patients mentally ill based solely on symptoms and put them on dangerous and addictive drugs, instead of doing complete physical examinations to find and treat underlying medical conditions which can manifest as psychiatric symptoms.

The CIA Doctors: Psychiatry & Mind Control
Psychiatrist Colin Ross, author of The CIA Doctors and Military Mind Control describes the longstanding relationship between intelligence agencies, the military, psychiatry and psychology in Mind Control experiments on unwitting subjects, including use of LSD, psychiatric drugs, radiation, brain electrode implants, hypnosis, verified through government documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Dr. Mary Ann Block, Medical director of the Block Center, is an outspoken critic of children being diagnosed ADHD and put on drugs documented to cause tics, stunted growth, heart attack, stroke and sudden death. She describes how parents are being misinformed about the medical legitimacy of ADHD and the dangers of the drugs being prescribed to treat children. She encourages parents to have their child given a full medical examination to find underlying medical problems that are being misdiagnosed as a mental disorder.
Depression Test Puts Kids’ Health at Risk
Mental health screening is a tool of the psycho/pharmaceutical industry, used as a feeder line to get more kids and adults on drugs. “Depression Screening Day” was created by Signs Of Suicide, a group receiving millions in Pharma funding. See www.signsofsuicide.org/ for the documents.
Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus
CCHR’s co-founder, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, Dr. Thomas Szasz, has been challenging his own profession for decades, calling psychiatry a “pseudoscience.” According to Edwin Shurr of the Atlantic Monthly, Szasz has probably “…done more than any other man to alert the American public to the potential dangers of an excessively psychiatrized society.”

ADHD—The Challenge
Get the facts – http://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-disorders/ 20 million kids have been labeled mentally ill and drugged for mental “disorders” that are simply based on checklists of behaviors. Get the facts, not the marketing campaigns http://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-disorders/
Big Pharma—Define ‘Better’
Featuring Chill EB – Psycho/pharma spends billions of dollars a year marketing mental ‘disorders’ & drugs for kids — yet these drugs are documented by international drug regulatory agencies to cause mania, psychosis, hallucinations, suicide, violence, homicidal ideation, heart attack, stroke and death. What’s more, they are being prescribed for psychiatric disorders that are simply a checklist of behaviors.
ADHD—Labeling normal kids “mentally ill”
ADHD is a bogus mental “disorder” based off a checklist of behaviors. There are no medical tests to prove any child has ADHD, yet more than 4.5 million kids have been diagnosed and put on drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta, which the U.S. DEA places in the same highly addictive category of drugs as cocaine, morphine and opium. The “checklist” for ADHD could fit any normal child and literally includes such ridiculous criteria as
“loses pencils or toys”
“often does not seem to listen”
“is easily distracted by extraneous stimuli” (what kid isn’t?)
“fidgets”
” runs about or climbs excessively in situations when it is not appropriate” (we are talking about KIDS here… right?)
To summarize; there are no blood tests, brain scans, chemical imbalance tests, X-rays or “genetic” factors to prove any child has a mental “illness” called ADHD. This is simply a list of child-like behaviors that psychiatrists clustered together, repackaged as a mental disorder and the result is a multi billion dollar empire — the child labeling and drugging industry.
Psychiatry—Labeling Kids with Bogus ‘Mental Disorders’
20 Million Kids & Adolescents are labeled with “mental disorders” that are based solely on a checklist of behaviors. There are no brain scans, x-rays, genetic or blood tests that can prove they are “mentally ill”, yet these children are stigmatized for life with psychiatric disorders, and prescribed dangerous, life-threatening psychiatric drugs. Child drugging is a $4.8 billion-a-year industry. Get the facts about this multi-billion dollar industry that is labeling and drugging kids for profit.

Top APA Psychiatrist Needs Lesson in Disease vs. Disorder
The President of the American Psychiatric Association (APA), psychiatrist Nada Stotland, obviously needs a bit of a lesson on the difference between a disease and a “mental disorder,” given her recent comments. Diseases can be confirmed by medical/scientific tests. Mental disorders are simply checklists of behaviors.
Psychiatry: No Science, No Cures
Psychiatrists openly admitting at an American Psychiatric Association conference that they have no scientific tests to show mental “illnesses” are biological or physical diseases, and that they have no cures for these unproven mental illnesses.
The DSM: Inventing Mental Illness
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is made up, it is fiction, it is fabricated by psychiatrists. Members of a panel vote on what goes into it, then they immediately start calling them “diseases”. This is fraud.
Few people aren’t affected in some way by psychiatric drugs in society—be it a family member, friend or co-worker, or just from the news of another act of violence tied to psychiatric drugs. Find out more about psychiatric drugs in the videos below.
Read the warnings/studies on psychiatric drugs and violence here or visit CCHR’s psychiatric drug search engine here to see all international drug regulatory warnings, studies and adverse reaction reports filed with the US FDA (from 2004-2001), There have been 22 international drug regulatory warnings issued on psychiatric drugs causing violence, mania, hostility, aggression, psychosis, and other violent type reactions. These warnings have been issued in the United States, European Union, Japan, United Kingdom, Australia and Canada. By the FDA’s own admission, only 1 to 10% of side effects are ever reported to them, so the actual number of adverse reactions is substantially higher than what is contained within these reports.
Psychiatric Drugs—Search Warnings, Studies, & Side Effects
Click here to visit the psychiatric drug search engine provided as a free public service by CCHR International, which contains a full list of international drug regulatory warnings & studies issued on psychiatric drugs, along with all adverse reaction reports on psychiatric drugs which have been filed with the US FDA from 2004 – 2011 by doctors, pharmacists, other healthcare providers, consumers and attorneys. All of this information has been compiled into one easy to search online search engine by the staff of CCHR International in order to provide the public at large with the facts about psychiatric drug dangers. By the FDA’s own admission, only 1 — 10% of drug side effects are ever reported to the FDA so the numbers contained in this database are much lower than what is actually occurring out in the consumer market. As psychiatric drugs are approved solely on short clinical trials (4-6 weeks), with virtually no long term studies once they are released for mass consumption into the consumer market – the Medwatch reports represent the only real post market surveillance of these drugs. This search engine essentially comprises all known, documented risks of psychiatric drugs. It does not contain opinion, just documented studies, warnings and post market data.

Drugging Our Children—Side Effects
20 million children are taking psychiatric drugs, and parents, legislators and the general public are not being given the documented risks from international drug regulatory agencies and medical journals. CCHR has created a one of a kind psychiatric drug database containing all international warnings and studies on psychiatric drugs in an easy to search online database. People can search for drugs like Ritalin, Adderall, Prozac, Zoloft, Seroquel (any brand name drug) or by drug class such as antidepressant, antipsychotic or stimulant. They can also search all adverse reactions to psychiatric drugs that have been reported to the U.S. FDA between 2004-2008. cchrint.org/psychdrugdangers
Psychiatric drugs, including antidepressants, antipsychotics and stimulants, have serious, life threatening side effects and patient’s are rarely warned about the full risks of the drugs. International drug regulatory agencies including the U.S. FDA warn that these drugs can and do cause worsening depression, mania, aggression, psychosis, depersonalization, diabetes, hallucinations, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, heart attack, stroke and sudden death.

Psychiatric Abuse of the Elderly
Psychiatry and those who follow their practices (drugs, restraints, electroshock) have no reverence or respect for the elderly, and employ dangerous drugs and ‘treatments’ as a method of control and keeping them quiet. They will happily supply endless prescriptions of psychoactive drugs or ECT. In just a six-month time period in 2007, Medicare received $309 million in claims for antipsychotics for elderly in nursing homes. Daniel R. Levinson, Office of Inspector General (OIG), Department of Health and Human Services, stated recently, “Despite the fact that it is potentially lethal to prescribe antipsychotics to patients with dementia, there’s ample evidence that some drug companies aggressively marketed their products towards such populations, putting profits before safety…. Government, taxpayers, nursing home residents, as well as their families and caregivers should be outraged — and seek solutions.”
Electroshock — It’s Not Treatment, It’s Torture
Electroshock, renamed electroconvulsive therapy or ECT is not only still being given to hundreds of thousands per year, but frequently without their consent. Documented effects of electroshock include short and long term memory loss, brain seizures, life-threatening cardiovascular events and death. Psychiatrists admit they don’t know how ECT “works” but that doesn’t stop them from administering it to hundreds of thousands of people per year, including the elderly, children and pregnant women. Recently, press have reported that ECT is making a “comeback” but what most don’t realize, is that electroshock (ECT) never went away.
Antidepressants and Child Suicides – “Home Movie”

What’s going on? How is it possible to think
all children need to be check for mental illness?
Drugs kill…Drugs make money.
Psychiatrists and the government work hand in hand to make money while profiting on the vulnerable and naive. Psychiatrists primary agenda is social control and population control. The government is fully aware of what psychiatrists do to innocent human beings. The public is kept in the dark and told that those suffering the side effects and permanent damage of psychiatric drugs are “mentally ill”. These people are not mentally ill, they are suffering the side effects and permanent damage of a psychiatrists drug. Society does not know this, they are being told lies by psychiatrists and the pro-psychiatry media including the government, that these people are so called “mentally ill”. When a full tactical medical examination is done and nothing can be found that means the person is suffering from an emotional/spiritual problem, not a so called INVENTED biological “chemical imbalance” in the brain that requires psychiatric drugs to correct. The so called “chemical imbalance scam” has be thrown to the public to explain that those suffering emotional/spiritual problems have a “chemical imbalance” in their brains. This is a LIE. There exists no “chemical imbalance” in the brain that causes so called “mental illness”. Mental illness does NOT exist. It is NOT a biological DISEASE. Doctors use a variety of tests to prove the presence of a bodily disease. Not so with “psychiatry”. Psychiatry is nothing but social control/population control. This is REALITY. NO ONE in history has been cured by a psychiatrist. They’ve only been damaged, and damaged for LIFE. I was never told the risks and dangers when i seen a psychiatrist as a youth and given their dangerous mind altering drugs. Now 17 years later i find out i’ve been “had”, “brainwashed”, “duped”. I tried getting off these toxins and told the psychiatrist i wanted OFF, but the psychiatrist with no regard for my health weaned me off 2 very HIGH doses of SSRI/SNRI’s including benzos. I been having EXCRUCIATING headaches and Neurological sensory disturbances in my head and face for 2 1/2 years that has not gone away. I almost DIED. I am seeing a Pain Specialist to get my headaches and sensory disturbances under control, but the pains dont go away completely. I am ruined for life. I have permanent Neurological damage from SSRI/SNRI antidepressants for LIFE. I never knew i would be a victim of this psychiatric cult. I was always wary of putting any drug in my mouth and always anti-drug. Being trusting, naive, young, vulnerable, has dire consequences when your with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists WILL BETRAY YOU. They KNOW the damage their drugs do, they will not tell you because if you run away they wont make money off you. To be a good psychiatrist you must first be a good liar, a good con arist, a fraud, no values, a person with no morals and dignity, a person who has no respect for human life. Those who support psychiatry even though you KNOW the dangers of it and continue to support it. May you psychiatrize yourself into a living psychiatric hell. I sympathize those who didn’t know the dangers and risks of psychiatry and their drugs. But those that did know and still took those risks, i dont feel sorry for you. Those who are on my side and CCHR’s side to end psychiatry’s reign FOREVER, we MUST stand TOGETHER and FIGHT psychiatry to end their tortureous experiments on vulnerable naive humans. I believe psychiatry can be eliminated but many more people need to stand together and put an end to it. If we do not, HISTORY will Repeat itself.
We have disturbed people running the government. It’s inhumane on all levels to intent the drugging of our children. I am not a mother but I dread to procreate in a society that wishes to control my children and parenting techniques.
Psychiatry is a pseudoscience and corrupt fraud. This pseudoscience must be abolished. Psychiatry destroyed my life on every level. I now suffer permanent debiliating central pain in my head and face for 3 years with no alleviation. Narcotics does not even subside all the pain. SSRI Antidepressants are EXTREMELY dangerous just like all psychiatric drugs are EXTREMELY dangerous. I suffer daily 24/7 with chronic headaches caused by Paxil and Effexor withdrawal. Don’t be fooled by people telling you SSRI’s do not cause permanent damage and are safe, they are lying to you and wanting to harm you. SSRI drugs do damage, i’m testiment to that. Psychiatry has killed millions of people and have gotten away with it without impunity. Remaining silent and consenting to psychiatry will not stop it but make it more powerful. Psychiatry is so dangerous, that in some countries psychiatrists must get special government permission to use these drugs on human beings. In North America its prescribed like candy, crippling and killing people while psychiatrists laugh their way out of lawsuits because the damage can not be seen. Every type of psychiatric damage by a psychiatrists drug is blamed on the patient and the psychiatrist laughs his way out. It is up to society to stop these killers dressed as doctors, pretending to be doctors. Psychiatrists help no one and has cured no one in it’s history. SSRI drugs are not effective at all. Recent studies show they’re no more effective than placebos (sugar pills). The number 1 problem is NOT pharmaceutial companies, it is “PSYCHIATRISTS”. I’ll explain why. Psychiatry’s ability to convince drug companies and governments to pour billions of dollars into its practices is based upon fraudulent “diagnostic” criteria. Psychiatrists package various behavior and emotional characteristics and falsely categorize these as a “disease” or “disorder.” There isn’t a single aspect of behavior that doesn’t fall within the broad “symptoms” which comprise so-called “mental illness.” Psychiatry has literally covered every base with invented criteria. The migraine sufferer has a “pain disorder,” the child who fidgets or is overzealous at play is “hyperactive,” the person who gives up smoking or drinking coffee has a “nicotine disorder” or suffers “caffeine intoxication.” If you stutter, it’s a mental illness. If you have a low math score, it’s “developmental arithmetic disorder.” If a teenager argues with his parents it’s “oppositional defiance disorder.” These LABELS drum up business for psychiatrists. Drugs are produced to meet the PSYCHIATRISTS’
DEMAND. Without fraudulent diagnoses, we would not be witnessing the prescribed drug problem we experience today.
WAKE UP AND STOP PSYCHIATRY BEFORE THEY CRIPPLE AND KILL MORE OF OUR FUTURE CHILDREN.
Well, I live in New Zealand but I realize that what America does today….the rest of the world will be doing tomorow. Wise up America and refuse to tollerate this manipulation of your kids minds and lives for the benefit of Big Pharma…………THE WORLD IS WATCHING!
Hear, hear, Ron Paul! I am forwarding this email as far as I can reach through the people I know. Everyone needs to be aware in this area! Good people, carry forward this war for the freedom of the minds of our future generation, as well as our own!
I am the author of several books for treating children and teens without psychiatric drugs. I just had a new book accepted for publication, which explores all the inaccuracies i the psychology industry, i.e. why psych tests are invalid and unreliable, how and why diagnosis is invalid and unreliable, how experience lowers the accuracy rate for psychologists on diagnosis, etc.

When I was in second grade the principal of my school tried to tell my mom that I needed ritalin because I couldnt stay still and I was hyperactive. My mom being a nurse pretty much told the principal to go to hell. Im wondering what child doesnt get bored at school? Is it realistic to expect them to sit still and pay attention for hours on end and do something they would very much not do at all? Thank god she refused to drug me. Now that not being able to “sit still very long” comes in quite handy concidering that im now a respritory thearapist and am always on the go. I still have a hard time sitting still for very long. I get bored and have to do something. Is that such a bad thing? I get alot of things accomplished. Do I have mental problems just because I get bored easily? I think not. Who knows what kind of zombie I would have turned out to be if she agreed with the principal.
I am extreeeeeely disturbed reading this. I am the mother of a vaccine injured 6.5 year old child. Parents of kids in my sons peer group are completely clueless!
OUR KIDS ARE VACCINE INJURED. THE VACCINES ARE A TOXIC SOUP CAUSING CHRONIC MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ILLNESS. I CAN SEE IT ONLY BECAUSE I AM ONE OF “THOSE” WHO STOPPED FOLLOWING IN A DRONE LIKE FASHION AND SAID WHAT THESE SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS ARE TELLING ME, RECOMMENDING TO ME IS COMPLETE BULL SHIT.
It was. My son has been in a Montessori school but next year I will have to put him in a public environment. I will absoltualy NOT allow any kind of psychological testing. I hate IQ testing, and their evaluations are only good for the printer, excessive nothingness.
I am angry as hell. And I will risk “fitting in” with the other mother and family who look at me like I am from Mars. One day, maybe, they too will WAKE UP!
The treatment for the psychiatric patients should be smooth, sympathetic,humanitarian and without any hasty decisions
Almost all the drugs for such patients are in the name of giving rest for the mind, intended for sedation only. Keeping in seclusion with other lunatic patients also is not proper. Anyway it is a welcome news
that the US congress has taken up the job. We solicit that drastic changes in the psychiatry should come out.
krishnarao
the solution: supplement the children w/plant derived,certified organic,bio-electrical liquid minerals & vitamins to take away their sugar cravings and the use of finest quality essential oils in the world. A blend that promotes a “happy state of mind” can be diffused, misted or worn – particulary useful for children: orange, tangerine, grapefruit, mandarin, rose, spearmint.
Mr. Paul
Thank you for stepping up and speaking out on this issue.
Public awareness and action is long overdue. Do your feel you would consider the increase trend in medicating children screened for ADD or ADHD is already part of this movement? It seems like an epdemic in the area in which I practice. I have my thoughts and experience but I’d like to hear yours if possible.
Thanks in advance…

I am amazed that parents would even consider institutionalize their children in public schools – the very name public means to me that it is a government run school and therefore you fall under government regulation of your children-anyone can see that government has been on a downward trend of becoming involved in every intimate part of your life. That is why parents like myself have fought long and hard to homeschool or be able to send your children to a school of your choice. Ron Paul’s Act is what is needed now – are you going to support it?
The Mandatory Mental Health Screening of your child could result in Extreme Danger for you and your children. I was pounding on a locked door after being told my son was being admitted to a locked psychiatric facility and I was not even allowed to see him after waiting ten hours in an emergency room while he was evaluated. Scarier still is that the people who evaluated him wrote “he appears logical and well organized, however he answers questions hesitantly and in a criptic fashion and therefore ‘would benefit from an in hospital psychiatric stay’”.
That was the beginning of every parents’ nightmare: someone has stolen your child and you have no control or decision making power.
Looking back, the nightmare actually started when my sons were in the second and fourth grades. The social worker in the elite Carroll School for language based learning disabilities or Dyslexia recommended that they get tested for ADHD as she thought they would benefit from psychiatric medications. Both were very intelligent children with Dyslexia, not overly active and not behavior problems. To fulfill the schools ‘request’ we took both boys to the child psychiatrist the school had suggested. He readily determined that both boys would ‘benefit’ from psychiatric medications. One of the medications required an electrocardiogram before it could be taken because it sometimes caused sudden death. We took both boys to an expert on ADHD, who after computer testing, determined that neither had ADHD. We moved the boys to the Sudbury Valley School where individual initiative and free choice are values.
When the youngest was 16yo, his academic skills lagged in the ‘unschooling’ environment and we attempted to have him reintergrate into the public school environment. This was ‘the kiss of death’ for our son. He was forced into psychological testing to determine his skill levels. His inability to attend a large high school were labeled ‘School Phobia’ and ‘possibly clinical depression’. A referral to a psychiatrist was required as part of the ‘team’s’ plan.
This psychiatrist immediately prescribed a series of psychiatric medications which lead to our son becoming someone we barely recognized. His friends stopped calling. After two years, while the school provided four hours of home tutoring a week (for 12 months), we gave up trying to deal with their requirements and withdrew our son from their jurisdiction. Our son weaned himself off of the medications and was doing very well. He was excited to meet with the psychiatrist as he was proud of his accomplishment, which included quitting smoking. Immediately after entering her office, the police arrived to deal with ‘the emergency’. She had called them before even evaluating him.
Our son spent seven days in a locked psychiatric facility because psychiatry is out of control. Our son exibited no behavior which required an inpatient hospitalization. Our efforts to get him discharged were met with illegal barriers. The unit had several persons who were deemed ‘criminally insane’ and had committed violent offenses. Our son aledges being drugged and taken off the unit during the night and ‘experimented’ on. The last MD note reads “He did not display any delusional or psychotic behavior during this hospitalization”; the discharge diagnosis was ‘Atypical Psychosis’.
Please take the time to support Ron Paul’s efforts. I have heard him speak many times and as a former Family Medicine Physician, he is well aquainted with the psychiatric deception. I am a former Family Nurse Practitioner with an MBA and formerly managed a Child Psychiatric Unit. Up close and personal, the psychiatric system is running wild and ALL your rights to attempt to protect your child can be instantly removed and you will be left bewildered and impotent to deal with an irrational set of systems (school, legal, medical) which purport to be experts when infact they are irrational zombies.
All my attempts to get the authorities to deal with my son being unnecessarily hospitalized, detained and damaged have fallen on deaf ears. The regulatory agencies: the department of public health, the department of mental health, the board of medicine, the joint committee on hospital accredidation, all support each other and do not listen, investigate or improve conditions. They certainly will never acknowledge any wrong doing.
The University of Massachusetts Medical Center was told by the department of mental health that they needed to provide further training for their staff so that in the future they provide patients and families with the information that they have the right to a review by an administrative law judge within 24 hours of admission. In actuality, all the judge is responsible for is making sure that the involuntary commitment procedure has been followed and that the paperwork is in order. Also, he only comes to the unit once a week??? There is no mechanism to provide a clinical review as to whether the person meets the clinical criteria for an inpatient facility. In our son’s case, the insurance company’s chief psychiatrist determined in his review on day 3 that he did not meet inpatient standards, the facility still refused to discharge him and kept him 7 days. The University of Massachusetts Medical Center charged about 20K for this unwarrented detainment.
Protect your children! Support Ron Paul’s Parental Consent Act. Support CCHR. Read The Men Behind Hitler and CCHR’s Bruce Wiseman’s book The Psychiatric Deception. Do not allow the school system or psychiatry to capture and damage your child.
Oh, the inpatient unit purposed a diagnosis of “Folix a deux” which means a shared delusion by two psychotic people. It is how you could be labeled if you try to come to your child’s aid and attempt to challenge the psychiatric beast!
A heartfelt thanks to CCHR for it’s efforts!
I agree there shold not be any mandatory mental health screening for children. Of course, no psychiatric drugs should be given to children under the age of 12.
However, sometimes children and adolescents do need counseling. , The “problem” or “misbehaved” kids need to be identified at an early age. Family therapy and peer counseling ought to offered to yougsters instead of drugs.
