Dead Wrong: How Psychiatric Drugs Can Kill Your Child Page #3

---

Why hadn't I heard this before?

Why hadn't anyone told me this?

Was the mental health

industry knowingly lying to me?

And if they had lied to me, surely

I wasn't the only one they lied to.

I found out I was not alone,

there were a lot of other mothers

who had been through similar

experiences and were speaking out.

Meeting these women was an opportunity to

hear about what had happened to their children

and come to terms with what

had happened to Matthew.

Thank you all very much

for being here today.

I think this is... really important

things we have to talk about.

And I've met so many wonderful

people through this ordeal,

for all the wrong reasons and

one heartbreak after another.

So I know there are so many

stories just right here in this room

and I want people to know what this

can do to families and to children.

So thank you for being

here today and helping me.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

You know, they let you think

that one doesn't matter.

You know, they expect that a certain percentage

are going to suffer these side effects

and that's okay with them.

- One child's dying is too many.

- But it's not okay for me, it's not okay.

- No, no.

- And there's one and there's one

and there's one and then there's a

hundred and then there's a thousand

and then there's ten thousand.

And it's not just one.

And one is too many but

it just goes on and on.

When I took Matthew to the doctor, he

was diagnosed with a clinical depression.

And they said it was because

of a chemical imbalance.

What happened to you

when you took Candace?

We took Candace because she was

exhibiting anxiety at school.

She had started blocking on tests.

And I had a couple of teachers say,

"You know, Candace needs

to study for these tests,"

when I would know that she had

'cause I used to study with her

and she'd always make

note cards and everything.

But she would get to the test and she would

freeze or else her writing was so horrific

that she might have had the right

answer but the teacher couldn't read it,

so she'd get it wrong anyway.

And I took Candace to a highly

recommended child psychiatrist

and he talked to her for

about 15 minutes and said,

"Well, she has a generalized

anxiety disorder."

The only way that this anxiety was

manifesting itself was in tests.

There were no other areas of anxiety.

They're not telling you that it's entirely

psychologically based and subjective.

They're just saying, "Oh, well, based on

these symptoms you have a chemical imbalance."

And then with a chemical imbalance it's

like, where did they come up with that?

What chemicals? I love that. Like,

where's the test? Don't we get a test?
