Mental health testing planned for three-year-olds as part of early intervention program<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Every three-year-old child in Australia could have their mental health tested under an early intervention\u00c2\u00a0program currently being funded by the Australian government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick McGorry, an Australian psychiatrist at the University of Melbourne who pushes early intervention programs,\u00c2\u00a0has a following in the psychiatric industry who are eager to exploit a large class of potential patients, children as young as three years old whom they can diagnose as “at risk of developing psychosis.”<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u00c2\u00a0use an organization called the\u00c2\u00a0 International Early Psychosis Association to promote early intervention\u00c2\u00a0internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, their primary published recommendations for “treatment” are antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and sedatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since you already know that psychiatric drugs are harmful<\/a> for adults, what do you think the effects would be on a three-year-old?<\/span><\/p>\n

What kind of lunacy would screen toddlers for “the potential to develop mental illness later in life” and give them harmful and addictive mind-altering drugs?<\/span><\/p>\n
