Psychiatry vs Personal Well Being and Growth
In the post two posts below, ADHD is addressed among other issues.
I have encountered people who have genuine neurological disorders, and ADHD, or at least something similar, is certainly among them. There are people who have problems with proper functioning of their neural pathways.
Sadly, as in the one link that I labeled as an ADHD joke, ADHD and the Brain: An Inside Look, horribly false statements are made. Amazingly, the three things that are listed by this pharmaceutical advertisement as being myths, are actually the things that have been scientifically proven. The one of greatest concern is the nutritional or dietetic contributor.
Two food additives that have been proven to be what are called excitotoxins are very powerfully destructive to the proper development of the neural pathways especially during the periods of gestational and early childhood development. At these critical stages of development, these neurotoxins can and often do cause permanent and irreversible damage.
The two neurotoxins are processed glutamic acid and aspartic acid, often commonly called MSG/glutamates and Aspartame. While these are not the only contributors to neurological disorders, they are documented and prevalent. Yet the mainstream medical professionals not only do not warn people, but actually deny their destructive effects. They actually lie, as in the video, saying that the causes are not known. Then, they prescribe other harmful drugs.
Thankfully there are health care professionals and researchers who are reporting these things. Many of the incidences of “mental disorders” can be prevented through avoidance of these toxins in the diet.
Amazingly, the other factors that the video farcically dismisses as myths are actually validated by what is later stated as part of proper treatment for ADHD. Consider the four things listed:
Do you see the fallacious presentation and misrepresentation? First, they combined ‘blown out of proportion’ with ‘isn’t real’ so as to present the two as both being false presumptions. However, they are not at all the same. The one is factual.
The second so-called myth actually has two factual items listed together in a way that they seem to cancel one another.
The third is presented in a way to anger teachers and parents into feeling defensive.
Yet their four approved methods of treatment all assume that teaching behavior modification and counseling and encouragement (which all belong to the role of parenting and teaching and are often overridden by too much TV and video games and Internet and texting) are the missing factors that are in need of being supplied.
Then, they add that stimulants can be helpful, and especially prescription stimulants. They may as well be promoting caffeine and nicotine. Those would actually be safer and less expensive!
But the last thing that they want to do is to tell people about the food additives that are flooding their foods and beverages.
And naturally they do not want anyone to think that the ADHD diagnoses are in any way blown out of proportion and often entirely wrong. Then parents and teachers might actually encourage these energetic youngsters to put their excitement and energy to something productive. The kids might actually be encouraged to investigate what special inborn talents and skills and aptitudes are driving their “hyperactivity” and eagerness to find more stimulating studies and activities.
Oh, they might even be led to discover that they enjoy learning, if they were given some encouragement to see how their aptitudes could be applied in real life applications.
Oh no!

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR)

What is the Citizens Commission on Human Rights?
At this last link this group discloses:
CCHR was co-founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being warehoused in institutions and stripped of all constitutional, civil and human rights.
What current influence Scientology has within the group I did not discover. However, all of the information that I viewed appeared to be sound information regarding things of which the public should be aware. Most notable is the amount of information disclosed by people from within the medical industry.

If you’d like to see a great ADHD joke, view this video:
ADHD and the Brain: An Inside Look.
If you view this video, pay attention to the number of times “may be” is used, after making the claim “ADHD is a real mental health issue. This has been confirmed by decades of scientific research.” Watch the “EXPERT’s” face as he says, “No one knows exactly what causes ADHD.” It is truly insanely comical that this drug pusher imagines that wearing a t-shirt that says “EXPERT” will convince the viewers to trust his propaganda. What is not at all funny is the realization that his presumption is actually true for many viewers.

Governmental Imposed Control
Don’t forget the governmental imposed time warp tonight. The so-called daylight savings plan ends for this year at 2:00 AM.
(Actually, it works very nicely to change the clocks before going to bed and not worry about anything at 2:00 AM.)
If you would care for an example of how stupidly our society deals with matters of daily living, here is a video to satisfy your need for stupidity based psychology:
(My apologies for the advertisement that I could not remove.)
Sadly, daylight saving time has been in effect for as long as I can remember. I never remember my parents ever dealing with things in such absurd ways, transforming an hour of government imposition into a mountain of complications. “Good morning. It is time to get up! Time for breakfast.” Same plan every day. It worked. We moaned and complained the same as any other day when we had to get up to go to school or whatever other thing was required of us. But we arose and dressed and ate breakfast and went on with the day.
How did we ever survive without the help of a TV psychobabble propagandist?
Oh. Now I remember.
Wow, several thousand years ago the Lord gave this to His people through Moses, and for those who heeded it, it worked marvelously, keeping peace and tranquility and even happiness and love in the home. It worked when St. Paul repeated it, even under the Roman tyranny. It worked a few decades ago when I was a child. Could it be, is it possible, just maybe that today it still works?
Even for those who do not believe in the Lord God who gave His wonderful words by which His people would live happily and peaceably with one another, even for those who mock God and ignore Him in every other way, when His commandments are followed, they have the effect that He promises. Ten Words or Sayings of divine wisdom and all of the psychological studies are seen for what they are, inane attempts to achieve what has been plainly declared and even recorded in stone for millennia.
For what it is worth, Daylight Savings Time is a futile interference in people’s lives. But since we have it, why make more trouble of it than it really is? Wouldn’t our lives be wonderful if this were the only asinine act of tyranny with which we had to cope?
So, as for me and my house, we will simply set the clocks back as has been mandated, and arise giving thanks to God for the divine service in which the Lord shall serve us the blessings of heaven flowing from His endless mercy and goodness from beyond the restraints of time. And so with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we shall laud and magnify His glorious name and enjoy the life that He gives us in connection with His holy name. In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:1-4)
