Psychdata - Dedicated to exposing the fraud of psychiatry: "Should we Demand Criminal Prosecution?" New Hampshire Newspaper on Antipsychotics

Psychdata - Dedicated to exposing the fraud of psychiatry: "Should we Demand Criminal Prosecution?" New Hampshire Newspaper on Antipsychotics

By Bryan Flagg

Last January, Northcountry News exposed that New Hampshire had led the nation in per capita methylphenidate (includes drugs like Ritalin and Concerta) purchases for eight straight years. While proponents of the drug try to convince you that this amphetamine-type drug is safe, only a little internet research will show you that it’s similar to, but more powerful than cocaine, can cause tourette’s syndrome, heart problems, suicide, hallucinations and much more. While few kids were on any type of psychiatric drug when I was young, about 4 million nationally are prescribed this and other amphetamines today.


Nobody would ever even try to claim that psychiatry’s most powerful drugs, antipsychotics, are mild and there’s very little FDA-approval of these drugs for children. In the past, it was almost unheard of for a child to be prescribed such powerful, mind-altering tranquilizers, yet over 2.5 million children are placed on these drugs today.

Northcountry News recently received documents obtained from the New Hampshire Office of Medicaid Business and Policy revealing that it spent a whopping $3,999,000 on atypical antipsychotics for children under the age of eighteen in 2007, as opposed to just $285,000 in 2000.
