“Drugging Pre-School Children: A crime against childhood—children as young as 2 prescribed powerful anti-psychotics”

It’s not a Ponzi scheme, but once again, no one is listening and the red flags are everywhere. This time the victims are our very young, innocent children in the millions.

An exceptional article from psychiatrist Peter Breggin: Huffington Post – Our Psychiatric Civilization

It has been a routine week in my clinical and forensic practice. I evaluated a malpractice case involving a woman on the West Coast whose family doctor from a decade earlier kept prescribing Prozac to her for ten years without ever seeing her again.
