Tomorrow's guests are waging a battle against their schools, saying
they went too far when they suggested that they medicate their
children with psychotropic drugs. Many opponents, who believe its
diagnosis is based on a list of highly subjective questions, deny the
existence of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Even so, a whopping 6%
of elementary and middle school students take psychotropic drugs to
control ADD, even though the long term effects of the medications are
unknown.

Vicky put her 10 year-old daughter Shaina on a psychotropic drug
after receiving a letter from the school psychologist stating that
her daughter should be evaluated for ADD. Shaina died after a toxic
level of the drug built up in her system. Patricia and Al refused to
listen to their school when they suggested their son take a drug.
They are currently in litigation with the school, who they say
accused them of abuse for not medicating their child.

Actress Juliette Lewis is against drugging children with ADD, she'll
share her point-of-view. You'll also hear from Representative Lenny
Winkler of Connecticut who passed legislation in 2001 prohibiting
teachers from making recommendations that children be placed on
psychotropic drugs. Dr. Mary Ann Block, author of No More ADHD, will
also talk about the controversial existence of the disorder which has
been the focus of her medical career.
