PharmaKids: Children on Drugs

From pre-born to pre-adult, our youth face a whole range of profound health issues made worse when they come up against the power of prescription drugs. Pregnant women are told to take antidepressants that we know can lead to birth defects in a fetus. Young boys who don’t get enough exercise are given stimulants to keep them in their school seats. Unhappy teenagers are dangerously given antidepressants. Teenage girls are encouraged to take drugs for the sake of their complexion. The problems with pharmaceuticals in developing children form a pattern that is deeply troubling. Even as society rails against the use of illicit drugs in children, the medical system mindlessly encourages the drugging of our children as a normal part of their medical care. The daily intake by our children of potent prescription drugs represents a large uncontrolled (and ethically deranged) experiment on small humans who have little or no say in what is being done to them.
