Feds Seek "Mental Health"
Testing of All Children, Adults?

By Alex Newman. February 24th, 2016

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Next time you visit your doctor, be careful how you respond to his questions, or you may just be branded “mentally ill” and subjected to “treatment.” That is because a panel advising the Obama administration, in partnership with Big Psychiatry, wants to make doctors subject all American adults and children over age 12 to screening for alleged “mental health” disorders — particularly depression, at least to start with. Then, anyone found to harbor any alleged mental disorder, including children as young as eight, should undergo “therapy,” often including powerful psychotropic medications that experts say have dubious value but often come with well-documented and highly dangerous side effects.

Your ObamaCare plan will be forced to pay for it, whether you want it or not, thanks to the federal government's commandeering of the health-insurance industry under the so-called Affordable Care Act. And eventually, younger and younger children will be in Big Brother's crosshairs for mental and behavioral health “services,” whether parents want it or not. School teachers, social workers, and more are all already being enlisted in the federal government's search for supposed “mental and behavioral health” issues — a list that is perpetually expanding as psychiatrists invent new 'illnesses'.

The outcry against the federal government's obsession with your mind and the minds of America's children, though, is growing louder, as critics call the agenda “depressing” and worry whether it is another scheme to disarm more Americans. ......

We have discussed this before but here is a detailed look at the subject. What stands out most is the potential for "invention of new illnesses" - just how many ways might there be to label someone as lacking in 'mental health'. This has to be perhaps the most back door "Big Brother" approach to "gun control"- and while genuine cases of, for instance, paranoid schizophenia could preclude safe gun ownership, the potential for diagnostic abuse is very concerning.
