I agree with your concerns. What gets me is how little science goes into some of the ideas behind diagnosis of some types of disorder while individuals with obvious behavior disorder are labeled normal. A child that asserts they desire to be a member of the opposite sex is catered too while a boy that desires to run and play is considered abnormal. We live in an increasingly insane culture that selectively applies reason based upon desire for certain political and activist outcomes. One big desire of the left is the deconstruction of masculinity.

It’s about taking the easy way out. That’s the whole point behind this medication. Parents don’t want to parent or actually have children with minds of their own. In their minds, children are to behave like dogs, showing endless devotion and obedience.
With the actual nutcases, they keep trying to ‘understand’ them while the people around them suffer.
