“What really burns me” – STOP MEDICATING OUR KIDS
“What really burns me” – STOP MEDICATING OUR KIDS
ADD, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Dissociative Personality Disorder, Depression. These are a few of the things that our children are diagnosed with nowadays. More than 85 percent of the world’s children, to put a better number on it.
And in my opinion, about 95 percent of those is a line of bull puckey.
First, let me say that I applaud RFK Jr. for trying to get a handle on the chronic disease epidemic, but I think we need to include this into that same epidemic.
I believe the majority of these diagnoses are wrong, and the doctors give them out so they can give out the medication like candy, all for the almighty dollar.
And as all opinions are based in truth or experience, I myself as a child, and my child now, both have experience in this.
In my opinion, we don’t medicate our children for them; we medicate them for ourselves. The doctors of our time, for what these kids have, use it as a way of making it sound like a problem that needs medication, and of course they push the narrative that it needs medication when in reality it doesn’t.
Look at the names of the diagnoses, for example, ADHD, which translates to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. One, it’s not a disorder or disease or anything else, and two, what the issue is, is directly in the name: HYPERACTIVE.
Most kids I know, if you give them a little bit of sugar, they bounce off the walls. I was one of them. They decided to put me on Ritalin when I was a kid. What did that do for me? It turned me into a drooling zombie.
I’ve seen what these antidepressants and these mood stabilizers do to kids. My daughter was always a lightweight child, but when I watched her go from 120 lbs down to 90 in less than 3 weeks, it was frightening, to say the least.
I’m not going to speak ill of any parent; we only do what we hope is for the best, and we listen to doctors. But when I say that we do this for ourselves and not for our children, I mean that because the first time that you give your kids medication is when you feel that you can’t handle whatever it is that they’re doing, and you don’t know how to control them. You don’t know how to handle it. You can’t handle it, so you take them to the doctor, who then gives them pills.
Then you notice that they’re calmer, more relaxed, and easier to control, and that’s it in a nutshell: we want to be able to control our children. If Little Jimmy was always a good boy, nothing ever came around, no other problems, he wouldn’t have medication. But the minute that Susie acts out of the norm for what you set standards for, then we medicate them.
In my opinion, learn how to handle your children, stop giving them medication, and stop telling them there’s something wrong with them. Start helping build up their positives, stop looking at any kind of negatives, and never, ever tell them the word “enough.” The word “enough” implies limits, which these children should not have.
“You’re pretty enough, you’re good enough, you’re smart enough.” It implies that there’s no further that they can go or that they shouldn’t aspire to anything more, and that is the wrong way to handle it.
This is what really burns me. Stop medicating our children, stop disparaging them, stop pigeonholing them. Learn how to control them without medicating, and we’ll all have a much better life.
