[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids have always been anxious. It's just pathologized/recognized/treated more now.

My grandfather, grandmother, and father all had severe anxiety as children. They were also all put on opiates. So it's not some new thing caused by (ugh, seriously?) vaccines.

In the past, parents tended to be much more hands-off (lots of unsupervised play time) and didn't necessarily notice the signs or get help. There's also a huge culture of medicating kids now that didn't exist in the past, and you can bet pharmaceutical companies benefit from increased "awareness" of psychiatric issues that lead to more prescriptions for their products.[/quote]

More importantly, you can bet that children benefit from getting the treatment they need. The fuck is wrong with you, pp? Are you one of these goddamned idiots who think we overmedicate children? Go crawl back under your rock.[/quote]

I think PP sounded perfectly reasonable.  You, on the other hand, sound a bit unhinged.[/quote]
