The idea that there is a pill for every kind of behavior has spilled over into our modern-day view of child rearing. In this week's vodcast, John W. Whitehead examines the ever-growing problem that over-medicating our children has created.
its all about money the more they can force on children, the more profit margin, i have seen this first hand, fellow classmates unable to express themselves, or form meaningful relationships with other individuals The majority of high school students are near illiterate for a reason, its encouraged in the society, consume more without concern, popularity is more important then learning, and if they are highly intelligent or different, drug them for convenience for the system has already failed.
Doctors are nothing but pill pushers for the big pharma companies. Big pharma is making money off of drugging our kids and it also dumbs down a nation. Makes them all numb and dumb.
I belive the decline of the american family has been engineered and carried out over the last 50 years by parts of our fed govt. The gov't got what they wanted and its a shame. great commentary!

Man, I hate when idiots think the ability to speak makes them intelligent.
1st, the population has doubled since you were a kid, dumbass. It's not a conspiracy, just more people.
2nd, we've improved our diagnostic methods A LOT.
Why wouldn't you expect the number diagnosed w/ ADHD to increase?
Maybe you should actually research things & find EVIDENCE before just assuming your dopey conjecture has validity, Mr. Cruise.
Black people have also increased. That must be the TV too.
Ugh!

I agree that the family is being engineered. However, the folks responsible are the fortune 100 which are pretty much the same as the government.
In fascism, nobody can find where multinational companies begin and the government ends.
