Psychiatry Makes War on "Bipolar Children"
Dr. Peter Breggin
May 23, 2008

The front cover of the May 26, 2008 Newsweek has a banner headline,
"Growing Up Bipolar" with a split-face photograph of a ten-year-old
boy. The headline should have read, "Victim of Psychiatric Assault."
In daycare 18-month old Max kicked, bit and spat on his larger peers.
Apparently before he was two years old, his overwhelmed parents took
him to a famous Boston psychiatrist -- having been trained in
psychiatry at Harvard, I can confirm that famous Boston psychiatrists
are among the most arrogantly pro-drug -- and within an hour the
toddler had been diagnosed as bipolar. Right away he was put on the
adult "mood stabilizer," Depakote. Depakote is an anti-seizure drug
that is so sedating that it can, however briefly, subdue a child, at
least until the effect wears off.
