  • the same kids recommended to psychiatric care when the root of their behaviour (more often than not) is the product of abuse which parents/guardians are reluctant to ever admit to...so what choice do (SOME) Doc's have but put kids on meds when the kid looks like a liar because of uncooperative adults or his behaviour is seen as something just random... then who's at fault for the drug pushing if the child remains in a toxic environment..

    but cnn doesn't want to offend their viewers ofcourse.

  • Comment removed

  • and it seemed like the doctor was probably under the same assumption as i was upon clicking this useless debate... before the investigator/columnist AND cnn host persisted with the adhd drug pushing argument towards the second half mark.. kids have depression, kids have suicidal thoughts, they have ptsd, panic attacks, anxiety disorders... why didn't they cover that??

  • Is this debate about ADHD or behavioural issues in general? Kids suffer from other mental issues than adhd.. either the title of this vid is misleading or the topic which cnn chose to label this debate

  • ADD and ADHD are created by psychiatrists ( DSM-1V). There is no scientific prove what so ever on these labels. Ritaline is a hard-drug/ speed and therefore always harming. The farmaceutical industry has just one interest and that is selling their medicine's. There not there for you're health.

    America 2011: stick a label, stuff them full with dangerous drugs and they'll do what ever Obama says. Obama will also help to kill yourself (Health care Bill)

  • What is being treated? Well, for one, troubling and troublesome behavior, and not discreet disease states! This is about the altering of the individual so as to alter the social; and such is the manner in which the collectivist-coercive dimension of institutional psychiatry acts as our culture's social engineer.

  • The psychiatrists statement, starting at 1:47, is most telling. Whether symptoms are attached to a disorder or not? Such a paradigm, that by altering the individual, one alters the social, is borne out by the doctor's assertion that such medicating will treat symptoms and get them "out of the way", so that children and families can benefit from other treatments that last a lifetime. Really? Who clearly benefits from this decidely reductive take to problems in living and social conflict?

  • lol a lot of the research conducted is flawed. Up to 75% of reports may be ghost-written (Healy, 2004), which is often BEFORE the research and results are obtained. If 10 studies are done and 9 show negative results, they only have to publish the 1 report that shows 'good' results, and these results are often altered. Many of these reports are conducted and funded by the drug companies. There is NO such thing as a 'chemical imbalance'. There are NO medical tests to show it.

  • the usa is a very crazy messed up country i feel sorry for the average person over there. people are just spending machines.

  • american/western kids ftw! note sarcasm.

  • Again, this is my Aunt (whom I hang with almost every week).... She's CATHOLIC. She is NOT a Scientologist.

    Just to be clear.

  • Every school gun shooting has been tied to psychotropic drugs.

    Treat symptons?! How about treating the cause!

    There has not been one child on an organic vegan diet that I know of that has had any of the symptoms that SSRIs or any psychotropic drugs treat.

  • Both the anti-psychiatric lady and the psychiatrist were very ineffective in conveying their case

  • I believe is if it helps the child out with Mood disorders. there is such a thing! My son was never on Ritalin . My son was depressed and has OCD. He is taking Lexapro, Abilify and clonzepam!

  • Try feeding your child a raw organic vegan diet, get plenty of sunlight and exercise. I guarantee all symptoms will go away. BTW, OCD is a make up disease.

  • The school tried to put me on those mind altering drugs. My parents didn't buckle, and now there are no symptoms to speak of.

    Althought there is an effective way to use them, schools wish to just dole them out as soon as they can and not think about it.

    This comes from first-hand knowledge. I am still angry at my old teacher for pushing, and pushing, and pushing Ritalin onto me.

  • I've heard that teachers and administrators get kickbacks from drug companies to push drugs.

  • @BlueEagle8 The truth is that the school board does make money for every child goes on ADD/ ADHD drugs, which the child must now attend the special education classes for learning disabilities. It is under the Individual Development Education Assistance Act of 1985. The government allotted over $2 billion for this program.

  • Ya,.....treat the symptoms not the cause...what an idiot

  • ritalin and cocaine are way different.

    and ritalin is schedule 2 while every other drug she listed is like schedule 1.

  • pills are fun they come in fun colors and shapes like lollipops

  • This guy obviously bought out by the pharma industry. He speaks like their sales rep.

  • Wow! This Doctor is terribly uniformed or terribly evil! Keep him away form your kids Los Angeles!

  • In addition, when talking about informed consent in regards to the psychiatric drugging of children, it is all too common to see those that create "Negative Propaganda" to include religious bigotry. I truly feel that this is caused by a few instigators who want to provoke and cause a diversion from the reality of what is actually occurring in our nation.

  • This is an excellent debate that crosses all religious and political spectrums. As a mother who was coerced to place my son on ritalin by his school and had my child harmed from the drugs, I am thankful for Ms. Kelly O' Meara and her stand on this issue. I commend her and people like her who have the guts to stand up for parental and all children's rights.

  • Why the fuck is Scientology being discussed on here? There are several anti-psych groups not at all associated with Scientology OR CCHR. You fucking bozos need to discuss relevant topics here.

    The one part about diagnosing mental illness which neither party unfortunately talked about is there are no physical tests done on the brain. So hypothetically speaking, a child with ADHD and one who just has its symptoms would both show to have mental illness.

  • Scientology wasn't mentioned. Kelly O'Meara is not a Scientologist

  • Look at the comments....

  • Scientology ruins lives. It harasses critics. It breaks up families. It abuses the weak and the lost. It impoverishes the gullible, and then turns them to indentured servitude when they can no longer afford to pay their way to 'enlightenment'. It has no respect for human dignity, human rights, and human life.

    Scientology plays on the victim's vulnerability and pocketbook.

    Knowledge is Free.

    Scientology is Not a Religion.

    It is a Dangerous Cult.

  • Haha, imagine you here, yet again on another video to push your paranoid anti-Scientology absurdities. The video's not even connected with Scientology and yet you felt compelled to put copy & paste some spam you've put on god knows how many other videos. You Anonymous loonies really are out there. Seems your paranoid delusions are ruining your life more than Scientology is. Get help, you freak.

  • Clear Cognition: You mocked up your reactive mind.

    OT8 Cognition: You mocked up the Space Opera, your past lives and your BT infestation.

    The trigger for the OT8 cognition is the line "the Pilot says: I'm mocking this up". The desired End Phenomena is "Now that I know what I am not, I am ready to find out what I am".

    LRH wanted you to be dazzled and keep forking over your money, as opposed to being outraged and demanding a full refund. This is the exit strategy of a "long con".

  • I don't know HOW the fuck you drew up that conclusion from the gibberish you wrote above. Seems you are very unwell in the head. I would suggest seeking some professional help. Trust me, once you get the proper treatment all the paranoid delusions will disappear and you can start to have a life again.

  • SCIENTOLOGY is a CRIMINAL MIND CONTROL MONEY CULT that was FABRICATED by a penniless, drug addicted wife beating tax cheater named L. Ron Hubbard and is now run by a violent alcoholic dwarf named DAVID MISCAVIGE, whom apparently beats his staff and humiliates people for his own amusement.

  • Your ramblings are getting quite boring at this point. Anonymous is a joke and you must be one of the top-tier dorks in it. Get a fucking life, you loser.

  • The Church of Scientology adopted a "hardball" campaign vs the IRS during the 1980s and early 1990s, which exerted maximum pressure vs the IRS. None of the following is disputed by Scientology officials and some of it was boasted about by David Miscavige in his October 1993 speech:

    - The IRS and its individual officers were sued for $128m.

    - 2,500 lawsuits were launched vs the IRS.

    - Private detectives were employed to find out what "crimes" IRS officials were guilty of in their private lives.

  • @OpenComments Dude, my Aunt Kelly O'Meara is Catholic. Not sure where you got the Scientology stuff, but she and my whole family are Catholics.

    The Scientology arguments are mute here (and are more relevant somewhere else) since Scientology was not referenced anywhere in the interview.

  • What Dr. Sophy doesn't tell you is that Child Protective Services (also known as Child and Family Services) has its network of social workers and busy-body public school teachers making false and groundless diagnoses of "mental illness" or "attention deficit disorder" in children who attend public schools. They will then have Judges issue orders to remove children from their families and be put into foster care if the parents don't agree to have their kids take these controversial drugs.

  • The ideas expressed by the CCHR are so extreme, bizarre, irrational, illogical and ridiculous that it is impossible to take them (or Dianetics) seriously or reasonable in any way. For example, Hubbard (and the Church of Scientology) blames psychiatry for the rise of Hitler and Stalin, World War 2, the Holocaust, the attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre on 9/11, the Virginia Tech shootings, the war in Kosova and numerous other international tragedies.

  • In 1950, Hubbard originally created Dianetics to be an adjunct to psychiatry, and respected psychiatry as he sought psychiatric help himself several times. However, not surprisingly, Dianetics was rejected completely by the Psychiatric and Medical community and Hubbard took this rejection personally and became intensely bitter and paranoid towards Psychiatry. So, in 1969, he set up the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) to expose what he considered to be the evils of psychiatry.

  • Thank you Kelly O'Meara, you made us proud. If everyone read the book - Psyched Out - they would stop and think twice about medicated their children.

  • Keep dragging these greasy psychs into the light. Every time they talk in the public forum people see how full of it they are.

    It just doesnt make any sense unless you accept that they are intentionally and knowingly causing harm, to our children no less.

    These drugs destroy people.

  • They are "true symptoms". But he cant tell you what the symptoms are of WHAT? Doesnt make any sense. Somebody help me please. This greasy guy doesnt make any sense. He's talking in circles.

  • Google Generation Rx...Watch it and it will prove what this lady said about drugs and diagnosis when it comes to our kids.

  • Wait. He said, "Whether they are attached to a true disorder is an issue that maybe could be a debate for science."

    And then goes on to say "We're definitely treating disorders".

    What?

    And thanks for clearing up that psychiatry isn't a science, "doctor", and leaving your own diagnostic criteria up to this nebulous "science" that will apparently figure it out for you, since you obviously can't. Yet another clueless pseudo-intellectual spewing out ignorance.

  • Carefully worded BS. You have to read between the lines. Look at his slimy smirk. He knows he's wrong.

  • Clearly the psychiatrist thinks it's okay to put kids on strong drugs to mask symptoms.

    Lets just numb everybody because we don't really know what's wrong.

  • Clearly the reporter won this debate. While she cites FDA studies, Drug Enforcement Agency drug classifications, clinical drug trial data and comparable placebo studies, the psychiatrist gives meaningless platitudes.

  • OpenComments you're a fucking moron.  The debate is between an investigative reporter from the Washington Times against a psychiatrist. I highly doubt the reporter or the psychiatrist are scientologists.

  • No need to bash, however, Kelly O'Meara is my Aunt. She is, in fact, NOT a scientologist, though she is open-minded to all theologies, religions, etc.

    And if she were to speak to any of us here directly regarding any subject she would, of course, encourage you to conduct your own research and find your own answers, regardless of whether they support or negate her own conclusions.

    Thanks for checking out the debate!

  • Pushing drugs on our children is a crime against humanity. When psychiatrists prescribe psychotropic drugs they have no medical objective science to validate their action. They do nothing to address the real causes. Drugs are toxic. They have serious adverse effects especially when they are used longterm. They are also very addictive and can be impossible for some people when they want to withdraw. Psychiatric survivors worldwide know from experience that 'drugs do more harm than good'.

  • The psych is creepy

  • Great Job as usual Kelly!!!! Where does this guy think those illegal drugs came from? Nearly everyone of them is an old prescription medication in which we have finally seen the dangers - LSD, PCP, Ecstasy, etc. And the most popular psychiatric drugs we are using today are almost identical in action to those drugs I just listed. They do not cure mental illness! They CAUSE it!!! That is why every "disorder" they are suppose to treat is listed as an adverse reaction to the medication!

  • Enough with pushing drugs on our kids. The side effects from these drugs are unbelievable. I'd rather have a kid who talks too much or has a hard time studying than one who kills his friends and family.

  • Sophy got torched!

  • Not sure about the grooming being better. My favorite quote from him is that you have to know "what you're treating" and "some ADHDs do better without medicine." Yo tool, it's a CHILD you are treating! And ALL "ADHDs" do better without medicine. Because you don't give cocaine to kids!

  • This is what the Church of Scientology does:

    - They con people out of thousands of dollars with bogus self improvement classes.

    - Scientologists are told to shun people (even family members) who leave. Look up 'Suppressive Persons'.

    - The Sea Org uses its members like slaves (they are not paid for their work) and people who disagree are locked up or

    forcibly stopped from leaving.

    - They use slander, harassment and stalking to attack those who outspokenly disagree with their 'religion'.

  • Ok what a tool.

    "The medicines on the street are not the same as the medicines one is prescribed."

    Yo, homeslice they are all DRUGS and you are just a DRUGPUSHER with better grooming.

  • 81% agree with O'Meara. Sort of a no brainer She kicked his ass on the drug side effects debate.

  • "The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly." - L. Ron Hubbard, A MANUAL ON THE DISSEMINATION OF MATERIAL, 1955
