Generation RX
(login to rate)
The sale of mind- and mood-altering drugs to young children has grown to a more than $69 billion-a-year industry in the United States. GENERATION RX poses the question: "What are we doing to our children when we give them anti-psychotic medicines?" Cleveland director Kevin P. Miller follows families who took their doctors’ advice and put their young children on these mind-bending drugs, some with devastating results. The mother of Christopher Blagbrough describes seeing her son’s behavior deteriorate from the effects of taking prescribed Prozac: “A downward spiral. Nothing for us to stop it.”– “it” being Christopher’s suicide. Through interviews with science journalists as well as medical, academic, and ethical professionals, the filmmakers build a strong case that questions the integrity and motives of some pharmaceutical companies – as well as the Food and Drug Administration – as they market and approve these drugs for use in children. – C.K.
