    Default Dr Thomas Szasz on Psychiatry

    Talks about ADHD etc..I think there's some credibility in what he says:

    "An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland." - Adolf Hitler, 1933

    I think there`s a LOT of credibility in what he says, 20 years ago ADHD was simply an unruly child.

    Great speech, shame he didn't have any hardcore facts to back it up.

    He doesn't need hardcore facts, he is quite simply correct, especially with the "poisoning" children bit. We understand so little about the human brain, yet for some reason we think its ok to drug kids whose brains are still developing. Its utter madness. ADHD is a new phenomenon, when I was a kid there were naughty kids, there were slow kids, and yet somehow miraculously they survived without drugs (the prescription kind anyway) and managed to get to adulthood without medical intervention.
