| Unpublished studies on the effects of anti-depressant
drugs on children suggest some are both ineffective and potentially
harmful, according to a new review of research. The unpublished data
contradict published results, fuelling the debate on how pharmaceutical
companies reveal trial data. The new study was conducted by Tim
Kendall, deputy director of the Royal College of Psychiatrists'
Research Unit in London, UK, and colleagues. One of Kendall's roles is
to help analyse medical research to draw up the clinical guidelines on
which the UK government bases its drug regulations.
After recent revelations that drug companies have suppressed
unfavourable data on their drugs, Kendall and his colleagues contacted
pharmaceutical companies requesting unpublished studies that might bear
on the guidelines. None of the companies complied, so Kendall contacted
a government agency which provided six unpublished studies on three
anti-depressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Kendall and his team added those results to a review of five
published studies on the effects of various SSRIs on children.
"When we got the unpublished data and put it in with the published
data, something happened. Instead of being safe and effective, the
risk-benefit reversed," Kendall told New Scientist.
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 book,
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.
