Screening children for depression and such made up "diseases" as ADHD, for which there is no objective scientific test or even any scientific basis for saying such a disease exists, is a marketing tool for the pharmaceutical industry to sell, at taxpayer expense, their dangerous and addictive drugs such as Ritilin. All parents should refuse mental health screening for their children or they risk having their child labeled as mentally ill and prescribed medications with serious side effects based on only some psychiatrist's subjective opinion. See a competent medical doctor if your child is having problems and refuse mental health screening. Don’t be fooled.
