The Difference a Diagnosis Makes
"ADHD, OCD, PDD, bipolar: Diagnostic confusion of child psychiatric disorders runs rampant according to The New York Times. But the diagnosis of such disorders in children---as in the case of autism and Asperger's----is an imprecise science, as a forthcoming book by anthropologist and autism parent Roy Richard Grinker explains."
Imprecise Science? I'd say!! If you check out the psychiatry documentaries that www.cchr.org has, psychiatrists freely admit they have no cures for such, randomly guess at diagnoses, and randomly prescribe drugs for such 'disorders'.

My issue is Zyprexa which is only FDA approved for schizophrenia (.5-1% of pop) and some bipolar (2% pop) and then an even smaller percentage of theses two groups.
So how does Zyprexa get to be the 7th largest drug sale in the world?
Eli Lilly is in deep trouble for using their drug reps to 'encourage' doctors to write zyprexa for non-FDA approved 'off label' uses.
The drug causes increased diabetes risk,and medicare picks up all the expensive fallout.There are now 7 states (and counting) going after Lilly for fraud and restitution.

I'd agree there - Lilly is probably the worst of them all, as they were right on the forefront of pushing the whole "it's all a chemical imbalance in your brain..." scam, whereby every irresponsible thing one does, and every problem or activity one does can then be 'solved' by taking mind-altering drugs.
The name of the game is massive amounts of money, not helping a single person as they purport.
