Billions of dollars have been funneled to front groups under the guise of suicide prevention to promote the sale of the new generation of psych drugs over the past 20 years and the suicide rates have not budged beyond a few hundred up or down from year to year.

90% of the kids diagnosed with "mental disorders" are not helped by drug treatment because they are not mentally ill to begin with.

Any future government funding should go towards training enough good therapists to provide cognitive and behavioral therapy to teach kids how to change their distorted or irrational thought processes and inappropriate behaviors.

These, for the most part "learned behaviors," in children, cannot be changed by drugging them.

We need more research, and research specifically on drugs that help children/adolescents with mental health issues instead of increasing the risk of suicide. Mental health issues are real and the money should be there to research them just as with any other disease/syndrome.

Drug companies lie to make money. No child should be on a drug. Drugs don’t solve problems. They make them worse or brriefly mask the real issues.

Stop this mental screening mania of drug companies and psychiatry.

Stop testing for mental disorders that don't exist in the first place. Psychiatry is a hoax. Drug companies just want to make money without any technology to back their product.

If research were allowed to be conducted on how many suicides there are WITHOUT antidepressants, then the HARM caused by BEING ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND/OR FROM WITHDRAWING FROM THEM would instantly become recognizable!!!!! These sort of studies almost most make you wish other professions would be allowed to lie to the public with such impunity!!!
