"Even as the world expresses shock by the number of US children being labeled as mentally ill and drugged with powerful psychotropic drugs, Dr. Harold Koplewicz, the founder and director of the NYU Child center makes the following patently false claim," writes Yonkers blogger Louise Uccio: "'Children's mental disorders are truly the last great public health problem that has been left unaddressed.'"
Does Koplewicz "not make enough money already from private practice, running New York University's Child Study Center, and doing studies for pharma companies?" writes Philip Dawdy on the popular mental health blog Furious Seasons. "Why has the media quoted this guy for years as an authority on mental illness and its treatment when he's a co-author of the discredited Paxil Study 329?"
If nothing else, the Child Study Center campaign will make people think about who has really taken American children hostage.
