[quote=Anonymous]I think kids are overmedicated. Far too many kids are on medication. No one is looking at WHY? When I was a child, I don't remember a single child who had ADHD. Not one. No autism, almost no one with allergies, no one with autism. Now there are hundreds, thousands, millions? of kids on medications for all these problems. Surely there's an underlying cause(es) that must be dealt with. There's a huge upsurge in diabetes -- doesn't it make sense that the American diet is causing this? That one is obvious. ADHD probably has a similar cause, but no one is looking for it because we have these easy-peazy meds to give to our kids. Medicine is for emergencies, that's my policy. Long-term problems demand that the underlying cause be identified and addressed. Medicine for ADHD is a band-aid. Address the root cause, and you'll find a solution. [/quote]
