Here are some studies on food additives
and behaviour and another study on behavioural and pharmacological
therapy.
As usual psychiatrists ignores all research into causes
but don't hesitate to drug children and adolecents.

"Our results
provide additional support for the belief that administration of food
colorings may exert significant effects in the developing organism.
Thus, it is apparent that food dyes affect activity levels during the
first month of postnatal life."

So far in
German literature no empirical data are present concerning
parallel
medications of behavioral therapy. Also the international
research
does not treat this topic sufficiently. For this reason this
work
examines on the basis from reports of requests for behavioral
therapy, which medications or groups of substances were used for
which child and adolescent psychiatric disorders treated by
behavioral therapy. It examines additionally whether correlations
of
such combinations exist to specific socio-demographic or
school-
characteristics. Out of 1021 first and subsequent requests
for
behavioral therapy from the years 2001 variables were
retrospectively
evaluated regarding intear alia diagnosis,
sociodemographic data,
school situation, somatic comorbidities or
therapies and therapy
indication. Results reveal out of five
children or adolescents one
has an behavioral therapy plus an
additional psychopharmacological
treatment. 80% of these
medications are psychostimulants. Half of the
children and
adolescents suffering from ADHD or conduct disorders are
treated
with such, while diagnosis of other domains contribute to
combined
therapies only with a small percentage. Differences between
non-treated and psychopharmacologically treated children and
adolescents with ADHD or conduct disorders are
presented.
