Hello You All:
The following words after the ____ are from the Toronto Star newspaper as of Dec. 12, 2014. In accordance with ideas that I have expressed somewhere in my Human Mind book, "pretty soon all of us will be on some kind of mind-altering drug."

Top CAS officials describe the high number (of children in group homes or foster homes who are prescribed) psychotropic or behaviour-altering medication as a crisis.
Between the ages of 5 to 17, --- 48.6% are on medication and 74% of children from 10 to 15 also.

From The Toronto Star
Top CAS officials describe the high number (of children in group homes or foster homes who are prescribed) psychotropic or behaviour-altering medication as a crisis.
Between the ages of 5 to 17, --- 48.6% are on medication and 74% of children from 10 to 15 also.
“The medication
problem is huge,” says Raymond Lemay, who retired this summer after 32
years as executive director of the Prescott-Russell children’s aid
society. ``It’s catastrophic.``
“We should be doing other things than medicating these kids,” he says, adding his agency discourages the use of psychotropic drugs. “Medication is inappropriate in many circumstances and will do these kids long-term damage.” So what do you think, should we start using my theory about correcting conglomerated fears, or should we just keep throwing more drugs at them?
