ADHD Drug Danger: Personal Injuries and Wrongful Deaths

by June 26, 2009 » Add the second comment.

Matthew Hohmann died for the crime of being an energetic teenager. Matthew was a gymnast and a great 14-year old kid who had never done anything wrong or had any health problems. Then, because his young mind sometimes wandered, he received the diagnosis of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) With his ADHD diagnosis came the death sentence of a prescription for Adderall XR, a drug that Canadian regulators pulled off the market in 2005 after linking it to 20 deaths and 12 strokes. Six months later, however, Canadian officials allowed Adderall back on the market, and Canadians still face the same threat from this drug as Americans do.

Drugging Children For Profit: Personal Injury Perspective

by June 16, 2009 » Add the first comment.

A girl who lacks the concentration to read a book in one sitting has a mental illness and needs a drug to help her focus. An enthusiastic boy who blurts out answers before the teacher finishes asking the question requires medication to correct the problem. Drugging kids is the modern and destructive approach to profiting from children whose behavior is somehow different from what parents, teachers, social workers, and child psychologists perceive as ideal. These behaviors and many others that were once joyous parts of being young have become the “disease” called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and its even stronger cousin Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
