Medscape Psychiatry & Mental Health, 2009-07-02 Robert L. Findling, MD, 07/02/2009, from the article: Gould MS, Walsh BT, Munfakh JL, et al. “Sudden death and use of stimulant medications in youths” Am J Psychiatry Jun 15, 2009.
Quotes from the original study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry:
“A significant association of stimulant use [primarily methylphenidate (Ritalin)] with sudden unexplained death emerged from the primary analysis…This case-control study provides support for an association between the use of stimulants and sudden unexplained death among children and adolescents.”
[Editorial Comment: We think that giving a child Ritalin is like playing Russian Roulette with the gun pointed at your child's head.]
Recognize that the real problem is that psychiatrists fraudulently diagnose life’s problems as an “illness”, and stigmatize unwanted behavior as a “disease.” Psychiatry’s stigmatizing labels, programs and treatments are harmful junk science; their diagnoses of “mental disorders” are a hoax – unscientific, fraudulent and harmful. All psychiatric treatments, not just psychiatric drugs, are dangerous.
