What They’re Not Telling Parents About ADHD Diagnoses

Are ADHD diagnoses helping children — or harming them? In this episode of Unmasking Government Schools, Sheri Few sits down with Sheila Matthews Gallo, co-founder of AbleChild, to expose the policies driving the dramatic rise in childhood ADHD diagnoses and psychiatric medication use. Sheila shares firsthand insights from the recent MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) Summit at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where advocates, experts, and affected families called for urgent reform. Topics covered: • The surge in ADHD and childhood mental health diagnoses — and who benefits • Why AbleChild argues ADHD is a subjective diagnosis, not a medical condition • How schools identify, refer, and pressure families toward psychiatric evaluation • Mental health parity laws and the government funding behind psychiatric labeling • Tennessee's landmark transparency law on psychiatric drugs in mass violence investigations • What parents can do when schools push medication Learn more about AbleChild: https://ablechild.org 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations exposing what's happening in America's education system.
