Combating

Psychiatric Medication Overprescription

Empowering children and families to embrace emotional resilience over medication-first solutions

The Truth About Psychiatric Medication

More than one in six American children are on psychiatric drugs.

Doctors rush to medicate, citing a "chemical imbalance" that's never been proven. Patients are told they're chronically ill - that pills are their only path to happiness.

But the truth is darker.

These drugs often don't heal. They numb emotion, dull personality, and create lifelong dependency. Trying to stop usually makes things worse, furthering the cycle of dependence.

All the while, pharmaceutical companies cash in on our suffering.

These medications are anti-human. They suppress what makes us feel, think, and live fully.

Psychiatric medication should be used as a last resort, not a one-size-fits-all solution.

It's time to hold Big Pharma accountable, and to build a culture that embraces emotion, not erases it.

Our Core Beliefs

Building a future where young people thrive without unnecessary medication

Rejecting Diagnoses

Emotional Resilience

Informed Consent

Emotions are not signs of a broken brain, but a natural part of being human.

Families deserve full information about side effects, alternatives, and the chance to heal without medication.

Labels create self-fulfilling prophecies and strip away self-agency.

Our Mission

UnScripted is dedicated to raising awareness to youth and their parents about the damaging consequences of psychiatric medication while promoting alternative methods of treatment

Our Vision

We envision a world that doesn’t view human brains as being broken. Instead, we envision a world that treats each individual as a unique case, without pathologizing or rushing to prescribe medication as a blanket solution

Our Future

We are in the process of turning UnScripted into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
Launch educational programming for both students and teachers at schools, clubs, and other youth organizations
Lobby Congress to pass laws that require all medical practitioners to provide full informed consent when prescribing psychiatric medication, including side effects, withdrawal information, and alternative treatment options.
