There is evidence that there are brain abnormalities wrought by Ritalin, and all psychiatric drugs. Consider Stephanie Hall of Canton, Ohio. She was five years old and on Ritalin: daily headaches except when she was off the medication, periodic confusion, lack of of coordination, hallucinations, and forced swearing (clear evidence of Ritalin-induced Tourette’s Syndrome).

Finally, January 6, 1996, one day after an increase in dose, Stephanie did not get up for school. She was found dead in bed. Stephanie’s death was not a “natural” death; it was a direct result of the drug she was given.

If no physical examination, lab test, x-ray, scan or biopsy shows an abnormality in your child, they are normal. Educators, psychologists and psychiatrists do not diagnose actual diseases.
