How old is the youngest child diagnosed with schizophrenia?

Be aware that your child could be the next victim screened and misdiagnosed or drugged with dangerous psychotropic drugs. Seems they can't get to them young enough when most problems are a nutritional deficit and a spiritual one as well. We have outlawed God in the schools if you will recall.

"In the U.S. alone, approximately 4 million children are currently on the psychiatric drug Ritalin, a drug which the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) places in the same category (a schedule ll drug) as opium, morphine and cocaine.
Psychotic episodes and violent behavior are associated with chronic Ritalin abuse. Ritalin is the amphetamine-like drug widely prescribed to children for the contrived mental disease, "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD). Even Ritalin's manufacturer warns that "frank psychotic episodes can occur" with abusive use. And even the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders lists the major complication of Ritalin withdrawal is suicide.
In the U.S. today, over 909,000 children and adolescents between the ages six and eighteen are on psychiatric antidepressant drugs.
Between 1988 and 1992, in just four years, there were reports of over 90 children and adolescents who had suffered suicidal or violent self-destructive behavior while on the newer antidepressant, Prozac, an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.) The Food and Drug Administration's own Adverse Drug Reaction reports reveal that a 12-year-old suffered hostility, confusion, was violent and became "glassy-eyed" on the drug; an 18-year-old was hospitalized after being on the drug for 270 days and had reportedly sexually assaulted and stabbed a store clerk; one 16-year-old who had been on Prozac for 50 days, reported hostility, psychotic depression and hallucinations when there had been no prior psychiatric history."

TIME - Medicating Young Minds with Mood / Behavior Altering Drugs
Sat, 1 Nov 2003
A TIME magazine cover story (excerpt below) looks at the inordinate popularity of prescribing mood altering psychotropic drugs for children begins to raise troubling questions about the specter of doing long-term harm to children.
http://www.ahrp.org/infomail/03/11/01.ph... Source(s): "I am a mother from the state of Pennsylvania working hard to make sure people are being warned properly about the inherent dangers from psychotropic drugs and the off labeled prescribing that continues to be a trend in our society today.
Today's educational system is also applying added pressure to make people believe their children are abnormal.
Why are parents not being warned properly about side effects?
Why are parents being pressured from within the school system?
Why do physician's get away with off labeled prescribing of dangerous drugs not FDA approved because the safety and effectiveness has not been safely tested in children?
Why are innocent children dying from mind altering drugs for a diagnoses that has never been proven?
All questions that are valid and need answers!!"

5 years old.
its generally not diagnosed till the 20's in fact several doctor say that children cant have it at all.
if your are worried that a younge child is showing signs you may be overreacting and many children insist that "imagionary friends" are real. they go so far as to talk to and argue with them inviting other people into the conversation. but they are more likely to grow out of this than to develope schizophrenia.
hope this helps but i would like to know if you are just curious or if you have a specific person in mind
