Are We Over-Medicating Our Children With Anti-Depressants & ADHD Drugs?
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | Author: Organic Health News
Why is it that so many children are considered to be suffering from ADHD? Nowadays, parents are so quick to prescribe medications to their children, but do we really know the longterm effects these drugs may have on the development of our children?
A new film released today investigates the downsides of ADHD drugs and how you may be doing more harm to the development of your children than you expect.
The new film by international award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller is titled Generation RX. It discusses the issues surrounding the growing trend of prescribing ADHD drugs, antidepressants, and anti-psychotic medications to children and teenagers across the world.
Kevin P. Miller talks with experts in different fields of medicine, ethics and journalism, to determine if corruption between drug companies and their watchdogs actually exists in the FDA. You may be surprised at what you hear!
Generation RX focuses on the compelling stories of real families who received bad advice from their doctors, and as a result, ended in catastrophic consequences. Now they have nowhere to turn for help.
“For decades, scores of doctors, government officials, journalists, and others have extolled the benefits of psychiatric medicines for children. Generation RX unveils ‘the rest of the story’ and explains how this era of unprecedented change in Western culture really occurred — and what price has been paid by society.”~ Kevin P. Miller
This years most controversial film discusses how thousands of children have been caught in the vortex of mind-bending drugs at the most critical stages of their development. It also examines whether we have forced millions of children onto pharmaceutical drugs for commercial profit, rather than scientific reasons.
Official Trailer for Generation RX:
The trailer for Generation RX makes you wonder if there is a growing culture of medicine and corruption here in America.
Hopefully, this documentary will provide parents with the opportunity to weigh the supposed benefits of these controversial medications against the serious risks they may pose to the development and growth of children.
Parents need to realize that there are serious risks associated with every medication you take or give to your family… But, those same risks are especially important when it involves the overall growth and development of your children. Do the proper research on all medications, prior to taking them.
“Generation RX is a powerful and often chilling eye-opener. Many of the stories stayed with me weeks after viewing, and continue to haunt me now.”

Greaaaat… another bit of news that’ll further marginalize the struggle people with actual (read: correctly and thoroughly diagnosed) ADHD go through daily. And oh look, a lovely paranoid documentary to compliment it! That’ll surely have those soccer moms shaking in their shoes, lunging at the medicine cabinet to yank the adderall.
I mean, they’re all faking, right?
Also, the church of scientology called and they’d like their anti-drug stance back.
@2- Yes please.

wow… I must say, that video really does make you take a step back and think about what’s going on. It’s really sad that parents resort to “drugging their children” with these ADHD prescriptions. It’s sad.

Yes, I completely agree. I think this is the hangover from the invention of penicillin and mass drug movement: hopefully with more knowledge we can end this now!
