Brain Science: We think, suspect, suggest, perhaps�

“There is no biological marker for ADHD,” according to a study in the January 1, 2000 edition of the Journal of Learning Disabilities. In simple terms, this means there is no proof; of course, a bogus diagnosis will never provide any proof, regardless of how many research billions are consumed in searching for it.

While we are told “ADHD is associated with abnormalities in the brain” and is caused by an “interplay between genetic and environmental factors,” a review of supporting studies reveals a generous use of words like “suggests,” “suspect,” “believe,” “may,” “could,” “think,” “probably,” and “perhaps.” Indeed, the claims are no more than speculative theories. Even the U.S. National Institutes of Health stated, after its 1998 hearing on ADHD, that “although research has suggested a central nervous system basis for ADHD, further research is necessary to firmly establish ADHD as a brain disorder.” [Emphasis added]

RECOGNITION OF CCHR

CCHR's humanitarian work has been recognised the world over for ensuring legal rights and protections for consumers and/or their families. Read more...

DRUG WARNINGS

CCHR led the fight for informed consent to psychiatric treatment, obtaining the first law in South Australia in 1979 that granted patients the right to consent to or refuse electroshock treatment. In recent years, it has filed numerous requests to the Therapeutic Goods Administration to reveal all the adverse drug reactions for psychotropic drugs reported to it. Click here to read more

DRUG SIDE EFFECTS

No matter what country someone is prescribed a psychiatric drug, the side effects are the same: dangerous, sometimes life-threatening, but always debilitating. CCHR International in Los Angeles decoded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration psychotropic drug reports database to produce this drug side effects search engine for consumers. This is also relevant to all Australians. You can also view a selection of ADHD drug reactions including Ritalin, Concerta, Dexamphetamine & Strattera obtained by CCHR.

Psychiatric Drugs

An Australian Report Titled, Psychiatric Drugs and Violence documents how Antidepressants and Antipsychotics can Cause Violence.
The report was written as Australians are not adequately warned that psychiatric drugs can cause homicidal actions and thoughts....
