  • 'Shy' children at risk of being diagnosed with mental disorder

    Psychologists say that new guidelines being developed in America will lead more young people seeing their common problems regarded as illnesses that must be treated, rather than just being given support.

    They fear that pupils who are quiet at school could be diagnosed with “social anxiety disorder” while those who become withdrawn after suffering a bereavement are classified as having a “depressive disorder”.

    I'm glad I'm not a kid these days, I was very shy and timid.

    I don't agree with this. Just another way to shove another medication down a kids throat that changes their brain chemistry and makes it almost impossible for that child to get off of.
