<p>According to a report, there has been a <a href="https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-medication-overdoses-misuse-report/">dramatic rise</a> in children misusing and overdosing on ADHD medications. I happened to see that report a day after I read another study revealing an <a href="https://www.econotimes.com/Antipsychotic-Drugs-To-Treat-ADHD-Increases-Risks-Of-Obesity-and-Diabetes-In-Children-Study-Says-1368276">increased risk</a> for obesity and diabetes in kids who take ADHD meds. This is not to be confused with the <a href="http://www.waaytv.com/content/news/ADHD-medications-could-be-linked-to-brittle-bones-483762551.html">recent research</a> showing that ADHD drugs could be linked to brittle bones. These must all be added, of course, to the cacophony of <a href="https://www.consumersafety.org/legal/concerta-lawsuit/">already known</a> side effects, including insomnia, irritability, decreased appetite, depression, and suicidal thoughts.</p>
<p>Maybe this is why a majority of kids diagnosed with ADHD wind up developing <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/majority-of-kids-with-adhd-face-mental-health-woes-as-adults-study-shows/">other mental illnesses</a> as they grow older. Pharmaceutical companies cite that latter detail as proof of the biological basis of ADHD. I think it is much easier to see it as proof of the pharmacological basis for the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/your-personal-renaissance/201801/the-alarming-rise-in-teen-mental-illness">mysterious rise</a> in mental illnesses across America. Drug companies and the psychiatric industry have so far gotten almost 20 percent of the country onto psychiatric drugs. Many of these drugs cause suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and depression. Meanwhile, a lot of Americans are having suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and depression. One need not be a detective to notice a potential causal relationship here.</p>
