PSYCHOLOGICAL-SOCIAL-VOCATIONAL DAMAGE DONE BY PSYCHICATRIC LABELS [Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD:
Making Children Ineligible for the Armed Services In 1998, the U.S. military discharged more than 3,100 recruits with psychiatric histories, either in boot camp or within the first six months of enlistment. Documented cases of discharges ranged from recruits with lengthy psychiatric treatment, to those who had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder¨ (ADHD). The drugs prescribed for ADHD¨ are amphetamine-like. Other drugs prescribed children include tranquilizers and, even, barbiturates. Few parents are warned that this fabricated diagnosis, and the customary subsequent prescription of dangerous, potentially addictive drugs, would disqualify their children from joining the armed forces to protect their country.
