For children who are suffering from a true medical condition, of course it should be sought and used in the most effective way.
My thoughts had to do with the overdiagnosis of ADHD, with pressure from the schools on the parents to receive medication when none is needed.

My ex-wife was very, very depressed for years and finally got medical treatment for ADD. Our school-age son also was treated for ADD with the same medication. Imho this was a good thing for them both. They have since phased out of the medication, but are willing to use it when/if needed. ADD is aptly named, since an attention deficit really is the problem.
