Over 8 Million U.S. Children Now On Psychiatric Drugs

Over 8 Million U.S. Children Now On Psychiatric Drugs

Not just the U.S., but the rest of the Western World, alarmingly, over the last 15 years the consistently sharp increases in child mental disorders have now reached epidemic levels. 1 in 5 children have been diagnosed with a mental health problem. In turn, more children than ever before are on psychiatric drugs.

Mental Disorders – Some Disturbing Stats

Could the rise in mental disorders be the result of the agendized push for increased psychiatric drugging that began in and around the 1990’s? As mentioned earlier, 1 in 5 children have now been diagnosed with a mental health problem:

ADHD (Attention Hyperactivity Disorder) is now well over 40%

For children aged between 10-14 years suicide rates have risen by 200%

Teenager depression – up at 37%…

Psychiatric drugs – breaking down the figures

The different age groups and corresponding figures making up the well over 8 million children on psychiatric drugs in the U.S.A alone can be summarized:

Under 6 year-olds – 1,146,530 (yes, that’s well over a million!) and breaking down this figure

Less than 1 year olds – 274,804

2-3 year olds – 370,778

4-5 year olds – 500,948

6-12 Year olds – 4,130,340

At 6 years old the psychiatric drugging increases greatly because school starts. If a child is constantly disrupting a class of say 20 to 30-odd other children then drugging is seen as the easiest way to ‘neutralize’ or sedate the disruptive child…

13-17 Year olds – 3,617,593

-Do the adding up and that comes to a staggering 8,894,463.
