Decades before Britain’s new Channel 4 documentary, "𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗗𝗛𝗗 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵?" began questioning the validity of the ADHD diagnosis, in the early 1990s neurologist Fred Baughman was publicly testifying before governments that ADHD was “a total, 100% fraud.”
THE ADHD CHECKLIST
• Runs or climbs excessively in situations when it is not appropriate
• Is often on the go
• Acts as if driven by a motor
• Blurts out answers
• Is easily distracted
• Loses pencils or toys
• Often doesn't seem to listen
• Often leaves his or her seat despite being told to sit still
To be perfectly clear — these are the checklist items for diagnosing a child with ADHD; a list of behaviors cited in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). There are no blood tests, brain scans, chemical imbalance tests, X-rays or "genetic" markers to prove any child has a mental disorder requiring drugs to "treat" it.
Moreover, the drugs prescribed to treat ADHD such as Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Vyvanse carry a black box warning for being addictive. These drugs are classified as Schedule II substances which have a high potential for abuse and can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence, in the same class of drugs as Oxycontin and Fentanyl.
“We do not have an independent, valid test for ADHD, and there is no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction.”

"Eli Lilly’s worst nightmare." — That’s what the Indianapolis Star called trial lawyer Andy Vickery.
Even though his most famous victory was the landmark Donald Schell case against Paxil — where a jury awarded $6.4 million (the first verdict holding a drug company liable for antidepressant-induced murder-suicide) — Vickery was a relentless force against Lilly’s Prozac for years, filing dozens of cases.
His work helped lead to the FDA’s 2004 Black Box warning on suicide.
About ECT—Constitutional attorney Jonathan Emord has defeated the FDA in federal court more times than any other attorney in American history. Many believe electroshock (ECT) is a barbaric outdated practice from the past that's no longer used — but it's still actively performed today, including on children and adolescents and wholeheartedly supported by psychiatry:
“Substantial scientific evidence shows that ECT is an effective, safe, and well-tolerated treatment... denying ECT in life-threatening situations, including in children and adolescents or in patients who lack decision-making capacity, would be unethical.” — Joint statement by the American Psychiatric Association (APA), World Psychiatric Association (WPA), European Psychiatric Association (EPA), and the Global Expert Task Force on ECT (The Lancet Psychiatry, March 2026)
Antidepressant Withdrawal—Litigation in the 2000s revealed internal Paxil data showing 50–80% of users experienced significant withdrawal leading to updated FDA warnings. GSK ultimately paid $1 billion in settlements related to withdrawal effects & birth defects—yet the psychiatric industry continues to downplays these risks
