DRUGS USED AS CHILDREN`S COSH, CLAIM

DRUGS USED AS CHILDREN`S COSH, CLAIM

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) accused the PCT of dishing out a 452 per cent increase in drugs to treat ADHD, a condition the organisation claimed did not exist.The CCHR, which was co-founded in 1969 by a emeritus professor of psychiatry and the Church of Scientology to expose what it described as psychiatric violations of human rights, said the figures it obtained highlighted an explosion in the number of children being labelled with the equivalent of a psychiatric ASBO.
