Children’s Health Defense’s mission includes bringing to the public’s attention matters that violate fully informed medical consent. If parents were being given prior, full information about the risks of psychiatric drugs—which include those prescribed for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more—then the epidemic of prescriptions and associated adverse reactions, side effects, and violence would not be happening.

Fully informed consent requires not just the risks and benefits of any suggested medical intervention, but also the alternatives. But when the medical intervention is a drug market worth USD 21.5 billion in 2022, and projected to increase to USD 33.5 billion by 2030, then less profitable alternatives, and alternatives with no profit at all (such as diet changes which improve mental health issues) are ignored by the medical industry.

Please explore the resources below, share them with family and friends, legislators and teachers. Working together, we can Disarm Pharma and save our children.

WARNING: Before starting or stopping any prescription medication, see a qualified professional. The dangers explained in the resources below can occur while on the medications, while attempting to come off of them, and for a length of time after stopping. This web page is not meant to be medical advice but to be for educational purposes only.
