Drugging Your Kids

Would you purposely hurt your own kids? Why then would you drug them with some dangerous, unknown chemical that may hurt them for the rest of their lives? This is what these "ADHD" and "depression" drugs are. They are unknown, and unnecessary. Kids are kids, and will act as such. Human children have been doing this since the dawn of time. As you mature, your brain grows and adapts, and you develop into an adult. If you give your kids drugs during their formative years, there's no doubt that you're adding or subtracting something from the equation, something that is going to alter their brain development. (And I don't mean JUST physical, youthful maturation. Our brains are constantly adapting and evolving, even as adults.) There may be short term apparent benefits to the drugs (i.e. over the course of years) but in the long term (over the course of decades) you have NO IDEA what those drugs are going to do to your kid. At a bare minimum, it's safe to say that your kid isn't going to learn how to overcome their own synaptic impulses because the drug will be doing it for them. Then, if it is removed, they will be overwhelmed with impulses that they can't cope with (i.e. people committing suicide after stopping certain drugs) OR they will be addicted forever to something that they shouldn't have been introduced to in the first place. PLEASE, if you're a parent considering drugging your kids, or even an individual looking at the choice for yourself, PLEASE think again. As they say, if it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. DEAL with it, don't cave in to big pharma.
