It’s a brilliant scam, really; take a real disorder (ADD) that affects a small percentage of the population, then ascribe symptoms to it that parallel normal children’s behavior… and voilà, you’ve made billions!

Watch NIMH get busted on this very issue… marvel as they waffle and squirm, trying to identify a single symptom that cause 10% of boys in U.S. schools to be drugged.

These agents are sent on the recommendation of elementary school teachers, not doctors. This is outrageous. And it will probably continue for years.
