07:00 Im pretty sure I had thoughts like that when i was that age. I just didn't happen to tell my parents. does anyone really think he would have killed himself? (or do i need to be medicated?)
"at what point does a personality trait become something pathalogical?" - when the doctor wants another regular patient. sadly it's just as bad in australia.
i suffer from anxiety without meds i be fucked so i think u do not understand what your talking about and i think too even say anything u must taste the mental illness idiot.
couldnt watch this at all, even the dogs on something. i am from the UK and had the exact same problems with my upbringing, i was slightly lets say a bit more of an extrovert than most kids and i got deemed as having ODD, i was crazyy etc etc do parents not think that growing up is probably one of the hardest times they kids will have in themselves and they react the way they do to things because they dont know how else to react! theyre not fucking crazy, they need a bit of guidance and nuturing
I believe a lot of kids are rushed to be put on medications but there are some who benefit from it. I wish my brother had been seen by professionals as a kid. He is definitely someone who would have and still would, benefit from medication.
Stiupid americans! They will believe in any kind of lazy shit. Superpill - right hehehehehe stiupid nation! ;> DON'T BELIEVE IN MEDICAL CORPORATIONS - THEY ARE ONLY ABOUT MONEY! AND MOVE YOUR LAZY AS! THEY WILL NOT DO IT FOR YOU! THINK LOGIC! (AND DON'T WATCH YOUR TV NEWS - REALLY DON'T - if really need some news better find "RT News" on free dish if you want true facts about World! PEACE!
Am I the only person on this planet that antidepressant (SSRI) medication does nothing for? The whole world seems to be talking about how severely they affect your personality and how they numb your emotions. Well, you know what? I felt EXACTLY the same. For 8 weeks on 40mg of SSRI's I felt a bit of heart burn, that's fucking it.
Oh well... I guess I could always just kill myself. Atleast I know there's that.
@RedDwarffs Of course, the majority will say, "oh 8 weeks, you need longer than that, and you need to find the right meds for you!". If a medication takes for that two months to have ANY EFFECT AT ALL on a person, then I feel right in saying that it's pretty shit.
@TheHongky "Sorry to taint this with my opinion. I have been biting my lip. I have no idea how Louis does it for the whole episode."
Because Louis is BOSS. I seriously love his work. As an American who is familiar with *some* of the "subcultures" he explores in the country, I still find his patience and bravado utterly fascinating. SO many good docu's...
this kid seems really clever for his age and he knows what he's doing and what he's doing it for (attention) he probably just needs more things to keep his mind occupied because he is smart and once he's done something thats it he wants to move onto something better and interesting and he probably needs more attention
@happyguycol Actually, 1 in 5 adults in the UK&NI are prescribed antidepressants. For children, I would imagine the figure to be a lot less, but probably no where near that of America.
i find this interesting because i have adhd and i was on about three different medications from age 7 til i said enough is enough at 17. all my doctors and both my parents said when i stopped taking the meds that i would not able to function properly at all. but i am 20 now i graduated high school, im at wyotech gettin all A's, i hav a full-time job, payin my own rent and necessities. i believe many of these meds r just a way for pharmisutical companys to make profit off of frankly lazy parents.
so glad Im not a child in this day and age. Pretty sure by these standards I would have been diagnosed with tons of stuff during elementary school. Got reprimanded and told I was too hyper almost every day lol.
You know what, this is a more complex, nuanced situation than you are taking it for. Having grown up with a sibling with mental illness and seeing firsthand what it does to all involved, I know exactly what Hugh's parents mean when they say they fear one day he will kill himself. Say all you want about bad parenting, but those parents are anything but ignorant - and the pain the kids are going through (call it anxiety, depression, ADHD etc) is beyond just a pithy blame game.
I'm glad I grew up before all of this - I would've been a med-zombie. The reason I couldn't sit still and behave? School was too effing boring! The system is making them crazy
I gathered from the description that the uploader disagrees with the mess...but this kid is obviously not okay and if the mess help, then I say go for it.
I've had depression since age 12 and I've been taking medication since then. I'm 25 years old now and I still have horrible anxiety and depression but let me tell you one thing, if it weren't for my meds when I was younger I probably would have dropped out of school and commit suicide, medication helps regulate moods and behaviour. Sometimes it's very difficult for somebody who doesn't have a mental disorder to grasp this concept.
I agree that a lot of children are put on medication without proper assessment when there is no need for them to be on it but some children actually do need to be on medication. If you have a child with a plethora of disorders and is threatening suicide then medication is probably the best thing for the child along with proper therapy and intervention. I'm a daycare teacher, I've worked with children of all ages and some of the medications work wonders.
ugh, I take Seroquil and I can't picture me taking it in the morning unles I want to be half asleep all day. Maybe if you have ADD it's another story though.
He has social issues because he is a child of the modern world. Boyond that, I imagine he didn't say goodbye because he hates you for what you are doing to him you fucking dickhead. Goodbye would infer that he wishes you well..... I'm almost certain his wishes towards you are very far from that.
3:00-- that kid made me so sad. so what if he doesn't say goodbye when he leaves a room.. it's like hey lets take true feelings and make people be plastic on the inside
well what i can say from my point of view is that i have/had ADD and i was on medication. (stronger than ritalin) and it exclusively changed my life for the better without any troubles or side effects whatsoever. it made it possible for me to continue my school education (i was facing the danger of getting expelled on the grounds of troubling behaviour and insufficient effort) drugs are nothing to be afraid of or hate, just something that has to be managed carefully.
These ass holes should fry for giving kids and adults these experimental drugs. Horrible how they do this. Why don't they just give them all lobotomies and get it over with. You know these crappy drugs destroy the libido and it can last for years after getting off the drugs. I never took the crap , but I have seen the effect on many. Fuck the drug companies and hacks that push this stuff.
This poor kid, Hugh, he is having everything inflicted on him by his parents. You can see in how they speak about him, like they're at war with him. If they persevere then he will at some stage become suicidal and drop out into drugs and so on. Its clear that when he wraps up his Wii for punishment, hes making a statement which is "You want to hurt me? you think im ao bad? look, i feel so bad i will hurt myself", and they completely misunderstand this to be some kind of evil challenge. Its sad.
Putting a 7 year old on medication for something he said is child abuse.
Seriously, the mother should be put into a psychiatric hospital. She is dangerous and obviously she's the one having mental issues and reflecting them on her poor child :(
I quite like ADHD drugs i just think there's only a bit of a souicide risk with them not a major deal but one thing when i was youunger on these pills is they may make you loose your personality so really it would have to be a last resort but the doctors should be looking also at what's going on at home both before and during the medication period's trouble with Ritalin in particular is it's highly addictive and can keep children mostly awake when there're trying to sleep
lol medication is a made up thing there is no such pills that magically solve a parents bad raising ways, my little three year old brother reacts like stewie griffin and tell my mom all these wierd thing she just need to be patient ands houldnt of opened her legs now she's paying for it
such a western view on mental behaviour and general problems, prescribe some pills, make some profits, job done. No alternative ideology even considered most of the time
they need that cesar dog-dude for the dog! and for the kid too probably
when they talk about their kids as "much easier to deal with" it makes me kind of sick.
I once visited a friend of mine in the US and she thought it was incredibly weird that I was in uttershock by the top shelf of the fridge being filled up with medication and asked me how many I was taking then; None. Never had too
I have actually worked in a mentally limited carecentre - they didn't medication to "deal" with these people
this lady is FUCKING DIPSHIT and DINGBAT. She may as well just butcher her child and eat him or throw him on an alter of human sacrafice for some ancient evil cult and put him out of his misery at the rate she complies and is such a mamby pamby sellout for such fucked up ivory towered advice.
@andyandcarl or they'd talk and reason with their kids to help both the parent and the child understand whats up....now kids just get drugged for "Improper behavior" which can be anything......its insane
I think the parents need some medication....the kids only need a bit of attention and fun in their lifes. Gosh i am so sorry for this kids....and the dog.....even the dog is on medication.
omg, they even medicate the poor dog...jesus christ!!! He lost control of his bladder...in other owrds, i was so busy with my naughty kids, that i forgott to take the dog out and eventually he peed himself...terrible!!!!
@OnitsukaTiger1511 Funny, I wanted to write nearly the same but my english is crap so I tried to translate via Internet. Then I saw your comment and just liked it.
True, pretty dumb biotch. This is the reason for our damn fu**ed up(ped?) world. Greets from Europe/Russia.
OMG, disorder this bipolar that...jeez! these kids are just naughty and need a slap on the butt from time to time to realize, that they are not the Alpha Dog but their parents are!
@mafiamitzy I know it's super messed up, but those people are just desperate. They want to see their kids better and they don't know how to help them. It's sad really. I feel bad for them and their poor kids.
What the fuck, that first kid doesn't even look like a kid, he looks like an adult, they drugged all emotion out of that boy! That mother is fucking stupid! Kids are suppossed to be hyper and annoying, thats how kids are! Drugging the fuck out of him and telling him he has mental disorders, thats what will fuck him up!!
I've been on many different kinds of meds since I was 7, and yes I think they've made me worse I can't even function without being on some type of medication.
When I was kid I was very hyperactive and even violent. But I never went to therapy or got medication and I turned out fine! If kids novadays act like I did they get huge loads of meds. So the times have truly changed
some medications really do damage when a person's an adult, after taking large doses as a child. Also, many of these problems that cause medication to be taken are in our food preparation. These kids are eating nothing natural anymore, everything's factory made or pumped with chemicals. That's why autism is so big nowadays, if you want to fix the problem start where it begins, because asperger's and autism and ADHD aren't going anywhere until that's done
I would LOVE to know how many of these kids had mothers who used a book called, "On Becoming Babywise" with them...or did a similar type of mothering even if they didn't use that specific book...It's sad that when kids are angry rather than trying to figure out "why" they are angry our society just wants them to stop acting angry and will drug them to get that done...Any baby who was raised according to the book I mentioned would have a good foundation of anger...
hey guys just saying its hard having something mentally wrong with you and it does need medication or you can seriously hurt yourself or others (in some cases) so its not the parents fault (unless theyve been abusive which can cause mental health problems) i cant say much about a 7 year old being depressed but i have bipolar disorder and was diagnosed when i was 15 so i take medication and its hard being the way i am but im dealing with it
@prospect4800 Diet,discipline & education for 90% of them and maybe just maybe the other 10% might need medicine but America needs to take a long hard look at the way they just hand out medicine to patients without just cause.
They say the girl at the end is diagnosed with "oppositional defiance", aren't the definitions for both those words the same thing? How is that a medical condition when almost all teenagers are being affected with these hormonal swings. Some really weak parents here who are far too happy to drug their kids.
How bout drugging parents for yelling all the time? These parents talk about how disorderly their kids are and how they end up yelling at them often etc, don't these disorderly conducts just reflect on how poorly parents raise their kids? Drugging them seems like such a lazy option.
The dog pees on the floor when greeting them, it's called submissive urination, quite a common problem in dogs and one that can be cured without medication.
Ugh, some people just want the quick, easy solution to their problems.
. the school sytem is fucked... they make parents think their kids have ADHD when in reality the school system is fucked and does not offer proper education for hyper children that get bored easily... it's not ADHD... they are faster thinkers... they can't learn on the same level as other students... my mom has a masters in childhood psychology... i know this to be 100 percent facts... doctors are fucked.. when parents think discipline will work they create more problems then turn to doctors
has anyone taken the ADHD test... it's 100 percent bullshit... seriously... ADHD is not a bad thing... Mozart would have been labelled ADHD... same as Einstein... they didn't take fucking drugs... society is wrong... most of the smartest ppl in history... and the greatest exploreres all had more energy and charisma... it's not fucking ADHD you ass holes ADHD it does not exist... i'ts made up to dumb down the smarter faster learners... school is too slow and boring for these fast pace thinkers..
this kid is not and never was suicidal.. bad fucking parentss... gawd, if he wanted to kill himself he woul have done it... it was just for attention , which the parents were probably giving him too much attention in a negative way for acting up or not doing good at school. bad parenting is a major proble these days... they turn to pills because they themselves do not know how to be proper parents
I am reading a book called the ultramind solution that goes over how all these "mental illnesses" are all effected by several things. not eating proper nutrition not enough excersize and the need to stop consuming junk food that fuels things like ashd depression ect. It's very interesting can't explain it all right now. But check it out!
America's modern culture is so sick. And its only getting worse. They have created an ultra-competitive, extreme consumerist based society saturated by garbage media and propoganda, and then wonder why the parents are disconnected from the children and having had their sense of paternal responsibility and protection beaten out of them completely, choose to solve the problem with yet more big business in the form of big pharma.
''some people do mature out of it'' sums it all op for me, this drugging kids up business is just typical of some of the weird things people do in the U.S so that they can make money...
It make's me sick watching this seeing how the doctors, the whole clinic just to make money do what they do... i really truly believe that's there goal..just look at them how they react on the questions..
I'm 14 so maybe I don't have a valued opinion in your eyes; but " many have symptoms of ADHD" ? Maybe it's because they're children? I remember when I was younger, I couldn't sit still, I was loud, I was hyper. Does that mean I had ADHD? My brother was even worse, he was louder, couldn't stand still, could focus properly... Just because a child won't listen, doesn't mean you should label them with a problem they don't have. Therapy, maybe; but not drugs
Did they ever consider that Adderall(amphetamines, which are well known to cause highs and crashes) can be the cause for a disorder that is characterized by...highs and and lows? Also, who the hell prescribes a drug that blocks dopamine with a drug that antagonizes it? No wonder why the poor kid is zombie-like.
hugh definitely has some social issues. he seems at least mildly autistic to me. you guys might think its cute or just 'intelligent' but it will really hinder him in the long run
This is incredibly insightful to what I feel is a prominent issue nowadays. More and more kids are being put on psychotropics at younger and younger ages for problems which are just a part of growing up. I feel that the repercussions of having a generation who do not know how to handle their emotions on their own will lead to a dangerous situation for their children and other people in the future. How are people supposed to learn how to deal with emotions if their medications only numb it?
i would never put my kid on behavioural drugs. i've been on them, they give me highs & lows & the lows are intense. i find it hard to live without them now - i'd never put my kid through that. hyperactive or not.
Based on some of the diagnoses I've seen on here. I have ALL of those things. Dull me down with pills now!!!!

You know...MOZART was something of an active, eccentric kid...
I wonder what would've happened to him if he'd been born in this medicated day and age...
He'd probably have all that musical brilliance and energy drugged and drummed out of him and wind up as just another "normal" kid...
What if some of these kids diagnosed with ADHD could. in fact, become another Mozart?
(Ooooooor....what if parents actually, you kn ow, parented?)

some medications really do damage when a person's an adult, after taking large doses as a child. Also, many of these problems that cause medication to be taken are in our food preparation. These kids are eating nothing natural anymore, everything's factory made or pumped with chemicals. That's why autism is so big nowadays, if you want to fix the problem start where it begins, because asperger's and autism and ADHD aren't going anywhere until that's done

I would LOVE to know how many of these kids had mothers who used a book called, "On Becoming Babywise" with them...or did a similar type of mothering even if they didn't use that specific book...It's sad that when kids are angry rather than trying to figure out "why" they are angry our society just wants them to stop acting angry and will drug them to get that done...Any baby who was raised according to the book I mentioned would have a good foundation of anger...

hey guys just saying its hard having something mentally wrong with you and it does need medication or you can seriously hurt yourself or others (in some cases) so its not the parents fault (unless theyve been abusive which can cause mental health problems) i cant say much about a 7 year old being depressed but i have bipolar disorder and was diagnosed when i was 15 so i take medication and its hard being the way i am but im dealing with it

How bout drugging parents for yelling all the time? These parents talk about how disorderly their kids are and how they end up yelling at them often etc, don't these disorderly conducts just reflect on how poorly parents raise their kids? Drugging them seems like such a lazy option.

America's modern culture is so sick. And its only getting worse. They have created an ultra-competitive, extreme consumerist based society saturated by garbage media and propoganda, and then wonder why the parents are disconnected from the children and having had their sense of paternal responsibility and protection beaten out of them completely, choose to solve the problem with yet more big business in the form of big pharma.

I'm 14 so maybe I don't have a valued opinion in your eyes; but " many have symptoms of ADHD" ? Maybe it's because they're children? I remember when I was younger, I couldn't sit still, I was loud, I was hyper. Does that mean I had ADHD? My brother was even worse, he was louder, couldn't stand still, could focus properly... Just because a child won't listen, doesn't mean you should label them with a problem they don't have. Therapy, maybe; but not drugs

This is incredibly insightful to what I feel is a prominent issue nowadays. More and more kids are being put on psychotropics at younger and younger ages for problems which are just a part of growing up. I feel that the repercussions of having a generation who do not know how to handle their emotions on their own will lead to a dangerous situation for their children and other people in the future. How are people supposed to learn how to deal with emotions if their medications only numb it?
