2.5 Million American Kids On Antipsychotics, Six-Month Old Diagnosed With ADHD

David Healy, professor of psychological medicine at Cardiff University, says the drugs may cause heart, circulation and breathing problems. 'There is a real question over whether the drugs can kill for a number of reasons. One is that all anti-psychotics act on [the brain chemical] dopamine.' He said dopamine was known to have a role in cardiovascular regulation. A number of children in the US, given stimulants - which also act on the dopamine system - after being diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), have suddenly died, said Healy. He was asked by lawyers in the US to give an opinion on a child who was diagnosed when she was a baby first with ADHD, then depression and finally bipolar disorder (manic depression). 'Having spent 75% of her life on one of these drugs, she dropped dead at the age of two,' he said."
