Overview of SSRI Antidepressants for ADHD
The Chemical Imbalance Lie
Drug companies admit they do not know how their drugs work. Because they are drug companies they frame depression within their conceptual framework, neurochemistry. This does not mean that neurochemistry is the source of depression. It only means that by their training, conceptual framework, financial incentives and technology they are predisposed to discuss depression in that language. Using that language they claim that SSRI 's help to correct a “chemical imbalance of the brain.”

The assumption for each of these drugs is that if a person is depressed, they have a reduced number of a neurotransmitters in the brain called serotonin. As one well-known psychiatrist put it: “[SSRI s] are not correcting a biochemical imbalance, these drugs create severe imbalances in the brain. ... The idea that human suffering, psychological suffering, is biochemical is strictly a promotional campaign, perhaps the most successful in the history of the world, created by the drug companies. We do not even have a technology, a scientific technology, for measuring what happens inside the brain ... it is literally a fabrication."
The next time you see a Zoloft, Prozac, or Paxil commercial, watch carefully. You will see that, when the drug company explains that depression is a “serious medical illness” caused by a “chemical imbalance in the brain,” it will be prefaced with the word may, i.e., “depression may be caused by a biochemical imbalance in the brain.” They must preface this statement with may because this theory has not been scientifically established. Some argue that this unproven theory has been propagated by the pharmaceutical industry in order to sell psychotropic (mind-altering) drugs. Remember, manufacturers Pfizer, Glaxo SmithKline and Lilly collectively make over six billion dollars ($6,000,000,000) per year.
There is a highly effective treatment alternative to drugs.
For over 35 years I have worked with ADHD children and their families. Having been an ADHD child myself, I have a personal interest in this area.
Current explanations of the disorder never fit my experience or the children I saw. It always seemed contradictory that children who could not attend to school work could play computer games for hours, though both activities use the same areas of the brain. This stimulated years of research and rethinking of ADHD theory and treatment. From this I developed my new (patented) and highly effective, drug free, Computer Aided Emotional Restructuring (CAER) treatment and wrote my books, ADHD: Drug-free and Doin' Fine and , ADHD: A Path to Success to explain it. Learn how ADHD is not a defect, deficit or a disorder, but a highly skilled short-term defense mechanism that backfires in the long-run. Read more than 40 Amazon.com “customer reviews” of my book and treatment. The most typical response when people read the book is “That makes so much more sense than anything else I have read”, “You describe my child exactly”.
It will empower you an optimistic lens that will forever change how you see your child and his problems.
