This is amazing. My 14 year old daughter was just recently diagnosed as having oppositional defiant disorder on top of A.D.H.D. which she was diagnosed having when she was 5 years old. Her dad is deseased and I recently found out through one of his family members that there was schitzofrena all on his side from his grandmother to mother to him and his sister. He was never diagnosed but im sure he had it also. So I mentioned this to my daughters phychiatrist and he said she really dosent show signs of it. But now that i read what this medicine is being used for I really dont think he is sure of what she has. Is he not being honest with me or is this just a coincidence? What meds. are prescribed for the defiant disorder then? Please help beebizzy52@sbcglobal.net

That is the intention of this writing. These drugs bring big profits! .... and damage for the patients.
