<description>The individual taking the drugs or the doctor, family and classroom teacher can mistakenly interpret these effects as an improvement when they reflect dysfunction of the brain and mind.  As an egregious example, millions of school children are prescribed these drugs because schools find them easer to deal with when their spontaneity is impaired and when they become more compulsively obedient. 

In the long run, all psychiatric drugs tend to disrupt the normal processes of feeling and thinking, rendering the individual less able to deal effectively with personal problems and with life’s challenges.  They worsen the individual’s overall mental condition and produce potentially irreversible harm to the brain.

<description>Why has this bill not become law? Does Congress not realize there are schools accepting Federal monies for Special Needs Education and then requiring parents to use the medications, insisting on it even though they have NO medical training, refusing kids access to programs if they don't, and then getting away with giving the kids only minimal programming because the kids are so doped up they can't function?

What is wrong with you??? Is this the best a kid with accomodations can expect from the people who represent them???...</description>
