I'm generally in favor of people taking what they need to feel normal, whatever that is, but I think they are too heavily prescribed to children. Working where I do with juveniles, probably 2/3 of my clients, are on some type of mood altering medication. When did being a kid become an illness? God knows I would have been put on meds if I was ten years younger.

You know I struggled with this same thing before I put my teen on concerta. But when he started striking his younger sibblings because they made him mad i had not much of a choice.
