Freedom's European editions have made the facts about the fraudulent nature of so-called "Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD) known throughout Europe. Witness just one result: the Brain Foundation of Holland was ordered to cease its false advertising to doctors claiming that ADHD was a neurobiological "disease."

In editions throughout Europe and around the world, Freedom has exposed and condemned psychiatric labelling and drugging of children, with the result that governments increasingly recognise the harm caused by administering brain-damaging, addictive drugs.

One extensive investigation concerns methylphenidate, an amphetamine-like psychiatric drug that, according to case studies, has turned normal, healthy, creative children into depressed, listless and sometimes suicidal or violent drug addicts.

Freedom discovered that millions of school-age children are falsely diagnosed and labelled with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), commonly known as “hyperactivity,” with psychiatrists pushing dangerous methylphenidate as a “cure.”

Yet, as Freedom has exposed, the terms “hyperactivity” and “ADHD” were invented by psychiatrists to brand normal children as mentally ill for the purpose of drugging them.

In one instance, Freedom uncovered a secretive Swedish Medical Board plan to put 10,000 children and 100,000 adults on amphetamines. Freedom obtained copies of the now infamous “State of the Art” plan of 1999 from the National Social Health Board. Access required a court battle, but Freedom—and the nation‘s public access laws—prevailed. The once-secret plan, devised under the Social Board, became the focus of a three-part Freedom series, exposing the steps a small cabal of psychiatrists were taking to dramatically boost amphetamine prescription licenses throughout the country.

The protest and outrage that followed the plan‘s exposure continues today. Those behind the plan are still besieged by critical exposés, including evidence of a series of attempts by the plan‘s supporters to crush professional opposition and obstruct independent findings on the damaging effects of the drugs. In January 2005, the psychiatrist who invented the “mental disorder,” known in Sweden as DAMP (Deficits in Attention, Motor Control and Perception), and who was exposed in Freedom, was charged with “intentional or negligent misconduct” for refusing to produce taxpayer-funded research, destroyed by his cohorts.

The Freedom series dealt a blow to the credibility of the plan‘s principal authors, who have since been unsuccessful in blocking other experts from publicly debunking the ADHD myth and child-drugging that lie at the core of their plan.
