" MY government?? I dont think one guy Ive voted for in the last 20 years has been elected into office, it s YOUR government! and those clowns you sheep elect have only one interest. money! your health is a minor issue, I agree the original article was excellent and thanks should be given, but this is a can of worms few dare to open and once you find out some solid info on some of these drugs and why they were invented in the first place, your peace of mind will be forever changed.

" You know, this does bring up a question I've had for a long time. Why was it no kids were ever diagnosed with ADD until there was a drug for it? And how did ADD just appear? And how is it that kids before ADD was termed made it through life without the medication? I mean, obviously there were kids with it... so how did they function? Oh, maybe back then parents actually parented and did not rely on drugs to parent their kids for them. "

" Agreed,

You’re correct. They’re written by doctors on behalf of drug companies. I took the one they gave my son for Autism. Guess what!? I’m severely Autistic! Then the doctor laughed and said everyone who takes it scores as “Autistic!” Needless to say, neither my son nor I (nor our doctor) believed the results. Yet, doctors around the country are using that test, believing the results and doping kids up on a daily basis! Tragic! "

" I have to agree with some of the other posts re. And this doesn’t apply to people with an actual mental illness. But we’ve turned into a lazy parenting through massive medication society. Strange that all these kids in the U.S. have ADD and Autism and whatever new malady to come along, but kids in other nations do not. Strange that ANYONE (including you or me) who takes one of these “indicator” tests is always determined to suffer from whatever the test was testing for! Strange… it’s as if they were written by drug companies… "

" “Oh My” is correct. I’ve worked in the mental health field for years. Bipolar is NOT common, actually “true” cases of it are quite rare. The internet however has given rise to people who think they have it because they have the general symptoms most websites list (symptoms EVERYONE has). BTW: “Sleeps long hours, then goes into chaotic, frantic activity and stays up all night” applies to every single HUMAN (as well as most animals). It’s called being normal… and it requires NO MEDICATION to survive with it. "

" Anyone that suffers from Bipolar or knows someone who does knows that it is more than just being moody! Bipolar is a disease just like diabetes or cancer. As for the medications it helps but it is not the fix, and there are a lot of other things a person with Bipolar has to do to stay as healthy as possible. People need to understand that just because someone has a mental illness doesn't mean that they are not a normal person like anyone else. Having a mental illness is just like having a physical illness! "

" Linda F,

Actually, I do know a family member with it (a sister). And so I DO KNOW first-hand that this is a rare disorder that too many people claim to have. Just because someone is moody does not mean they are bipolar. Unfortunately too many people want to diagnose reality with a label. Guess what EVERYONE is moody. It's called "life." And just like with ADD and Autism, it’s in vogue to say you suffer from it. "

" BIPOLAR DISORDER IS A LOT MORE COMMON THAN REPORTED! AVERAGE AGE OF ONSET OF BIPOLAR IS EARLY TO MID 20S IT IS NOT IN VOGUE!!
UNLESS YOU OR A LOVED HAS IT YOU WILL NOT KNOW HOW HORRIBLE IT IS. MOST PEOPLE WOULD GIVE ANYTHING NOT TO HAVE IT! NO ONE SAYS THAT CANCER IS VOGUE... BUT THERE IS MUCH COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE PUPLIC START BEING EDUCATED ON THIS DISORDER. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE KINDNESS AND COMPASSION FOR THIS DISEASE! "

" No offense, but it's my understanding, through most valid research, that bipolar disorder is in fact quite rare (i.e., not common as you say). The fact is, pretty much ALL teens are moody. Just because they sleep a lot or get excited easy does NOT mean they are bipolar (that is just how teens are). So, let’s see… first it was ADD and then that fell out of vogue. Then it was Autism and now that is falling out of vogue. So next, all kids will be labeled bipolar? "
