	Psychotropic drugs are ''not'' based on good, correctly done science. Disrupting normal brain function with unproven, unreliable but powerful pharmaceutical drugs can cause permanent brain damage or even death. Psychotropic drugs are often prescribed to BoyLovers when undergoing often court-ordered "treatment" by so-called "mental health professionals", and the BoyLover may be unable to refuse the administration of these drugs. In some countries, it is ''illegal'' to force anyone to take any medication against their will. This should be true of the U.S. as well.

The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) lists these as the symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Once diagnosed, these behaviors would make your child a candidate for Ritalin, Prozac, or both.

Many schools work with family court systems to force parents to drug their children, threatening those who refuse to cooperate with the prospect of having them taken from the home and placed in foster care. To some, this looks like institutionalized child abuse in the name of mental health, whereby active, naturally inquisitive children are drugged into submission while the pharmaceutical industry prospers.		<blockquote>Excessive talking, fidgeting, or squirming.

	<blockquote>Delivering a disturbing, but important message, The Drugging of Our Children is a powerful and enlightening documentary. In today’s society, children are quick to be labeled with behavioral disorders, most commonly ADD and ADHD, and plied with medication such as Ritalin. But not always addressed are the side effects of these drugs, the possibility of ~~addition~~, and the creation of new problems and disorders. And perhaps most egregious is the fact that many children do not really have ADHD and do not need medication.		<blockquote>Delivering a disturbing, but important message, ''The Drugging of Our Children'' is a powerful and enlightening documentary. In today’s society, children are quick to be labeled with behavioral disorders, most commonly ADD and ADHD, and plied with medication such as Ritalin. But not always addressed are the side effects of these drugs, the possibility of addiction, and the creation of ''new'' problems and disorders. And perhaps most egregious is the fact that many children do not really ''have'' ADHD and do not ''need'' medication.

	Drugging provides ample case studies, including children suffering with allergies, learning disorders and boredom, who were misdiagnosed and given powerful drugs they did not need. Ritalin, Prozac and other such drugs are being over prescribed, with no shortage of pressure from the pharmaceutical industry, and these children are hallucinating, suffering manic and depressive episodes, blacking out and even becoming violent. It is claimed that Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters, was taking a medication similar to Prozac at the time of his death. The documentary also profiles a mother who lost her child to protective services because she refused to improperly medicate her son. The featured testimonies are truly frightening, and while Drugging does not provide easy or obvious answers, it does provide an enormous amount of awareness.

	The documentary is not especially hi-tech or polished in its delivery, and could really get its message across in less than 104 minutes. The technical components of this documentary are average, not quite matching the quality of the content, and the film’s audio and visual editing are also of decent quality. Drugging is enlightening and should be shared widely with parents, education and medical professionals. Drugging is recommended, and is best suited for patient education and consumer health collections, and collections in school or public libraries dedicated to parenting.
