THE ORIGIN OF ADHD

 

By Rev. Marilyn L. Redmond, IBRT

 

US American psychiatrist, Leon Eisenberg, born in 1922 as the son of Russian Jewish Immigrants, who was the “Scientific father of ADHD” said at the age or 87 in his last interview, “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.” Since 1968, Leon Eisenberg’s “disease” was expressed in the diagnostic and statistical manuals, first as “hyperkinetic reaction of childhood”, now called “ADHD”.

 Fortunately, the Swiss National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics (NEK, President: Otfried Höffe) critically commented on the use of the ADHD drug Ritalin in its opinion of 22 November 2011. The NDK criticized that it amounted to interference in the child’s freedom and personal rights, because pharmacological agents induced behavioral changes but failed to educate the child on how to achieve these behavioral changes independently. The child was deprived of an essential learning experience to act autonomously and emphatically which “considerably curtails their freedom and impairs their personality development.

 Have groups marketed the diagnosis of ADHD in the service of pharmaceutical markets and tailor-made propaganda and public relations? The issue led to the investing of “financial ties” between DSM-IV Panel Members and the Pharmaceutical Industry that became a study by the American psychologist Lisa Cosgrove and others. They found that “Of the 170 DSM panel members 95 (56%) had one or more financial associations with companies in the pharmaceutical industry.

 In addition, they found that one hundred percent of the members of the panels on ‘Mood Disorders’ and ‘Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders’ had financial ties to drug companies. Today the very vocabulary of psychiatry is now defined at all levels by the pharmaceutical industry assert Dr Irwin Savodnik, an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California at Los Angeles.

 One well-paid example being investigated is The Assistant Director of the Pediatric Psychopharmacology Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

 When Ritalin was developed, they needed a market and then declared this behavior needed the drug they wanted to sell. The task of psychologists, educators, and doctors is not to put children on chemicals for their conduct. Placing children in the hands of a pharmaceutical market because the entire society cannot handle the products of its misguided theories of man and raising children is a form of insanity.

 In the United States, every tenth boy among ten year-olds swallows an ADHD medication on a daily basis. It is easier to make the child the blame of all the home problems. Let us return to the basic matter of personal psychology and education where the child is to acquire personal responsibility and appropriate behavior under sensible guidance – and that takes the family and the schools. My experience from a family member is that the child's behavior is his/her scapegoat reactions to a dysfunctional home environment as alcoholism or other chronic addictions.
