National Public Radio: "This is a program that has some very vocal critics. They say Teenscreen usurps parental authority, sends kids to therapy who might not need it and they say the program encourages families to put adolescents on antidepressant drugs."
THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
January 22, 2007
Local public schools have resisted TeenScreen. San Francisco Unified School District, for example, passed on TeenScreen because it can generate false positives and drain counseling resources, said spokeswoman Gentle Blythe.

"There is weak evidence that screening can distinguish people who will commit suicide from those who will not...And screening inevitably leads to treating some people who do not need it.".

"By and large, brief diagnostic tests -- especially doing broad screening in children -- are not well validated, and one has to be concerned about missing real illness or, conversely, interpreting transient life troubles as a mental illness requiring intervention... if your instrument is poor, or you don't know how to intervene to prevent a condition like suicide, there is actually a risk of harm. Besides cost and intrusiveness, there is a risk of harm in terms of stigmatization, but also interventions that backfire."

Former director of the National Institute of Mental Health

"Moreover, the test has a disorder label for the most ordinary of behaviors, having technical terms for simple laziness and arguing with parents, both qualities that most children and young adults have experienced at some point."

"We're going to screen these kids, slap a label on them, and then what?"
—Joseph Rogers

A history of giving the test to some students without parental permission, has put TeenScreen in the hot seat. Friday, a lawsuit outlining these complaints was filed in federal court in the Northern District of Indiana in South Bend by a Northern Indiana couple and their 16-year-old daughter. They charge that the test violates parental and child rights at federal and Indiana levels and invades privacy.

| Stop Forced Psychiatric Testing -- "TeenScreen" - 1675 sec
Kent Snyder, Executive Director of The Liberty Committee, founded by Congressman Ron Paul, exposes President Bush's "No Child Left Un-drugged" program, offered under names such as "Teen Screen" and TMAP. These programs force or coerce children and adults into "mental health" testing which is highly unscientific and too often results in prescriptions for dangerous psychiatric drugs. We must keep our children from being given drugs and labels--it's time to stop any type of forced psychiatric testing and drugging of our children. This program discusses the "New Freedom Mental Health Commission" and how this scheme started under Governor George W. Bush in Texas. Dr. Ron Paul introduced the 'Parental Consent Act of 2007', H. R. 2387 to stop this outrage. http://www.thelibertycommittee.org

| Avoid Teen Screen - 357 sec
Teen Screen is a psychological test being administered to kids in many schools. It is suspected that Teen Screen is funded by the pharmaceutical industry, and many of the people involved with Teen Screen, including it's creator, have strong connections to the drug companies. There is documented evidence that Teen Screen creates many "false positives," identifying kids as suicidal or mentally ill when they are not. The result is that many kids are being referred to "treatment" to be put on potentially dangerous psychiatric medications, when they may not need them. Follow the links below for more information.
