From Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring’s YouTube channel: “Illinois just became the first state in the U.S. to roll out universal mental health screenings for students in grades 3–12. Supporters say it will help kids get the support they need. But in reality, it will fast-track thousands of children into a broken mental health system that too often defaults to psychiatric drugs.
In this video, I break down why these screenings are far riskier than they seem, and why parents should think twice before letting the state decide their child’s mental health needs.”
