June 28, 2005: The Food and Drug Administration
says that "ADHD" stimulants cause visual hallucinations, aggression,
violent and suicidal behavior.
Since the 1980s, Citizens Commission on Human Rights
has exposed the dangers of stimulants such as Ritalin prescribed for the
psychiatric invention, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
For years psychiatry has promoted the notion of a "chemical imbalance"
to prescribe psychiatric drugs to over eight million schoolchildren — a
$1 billion dollar a year industry — despite the fact that no medical or
scientific test has ever validated psychiatry’s theories about
chemical imbalances. Medical experts say there is no evidence that ADHD exists
as a physical, neurobiological disease and that prescribing cocaine-like
stimulants for something that cannot be physically diagnosed is child abuse.
On June 28, 2005, The FDA finally ordered labeling changes to
methylphenidate [Ritalin] products, including Concerta to warn that these
drugs can cause "psychiatric events." These are described as
"visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior, as well
as aggression or violent behavior." Click

Bruce Wiseman, president of CCHR in the U.S., says, "Parents
have been denied information on these dangerous suicide and
violence-inducing drug side effects for years, unwittingly placing
their children at risk. The public awareness raised in the media
recently about these and other psychiatric drugs and
Congressional Hearings into why such information has been withheld,
may finally mean that parents will be able to make truly
informed decisions about protecting their children's health, instead
of being further victimized by psychiatry's smoke-and-mirrors history
of fraud and deceit."
