It is feared that youngsters are being given them instead of more expensive counselling and other treatments.

Oh, you mean like...spanking, standing in the corner?

Did they have a lot of attention deficit disorder back when children were "to be seen, not heard"?

I wonder whether there’s an inverse relationship between playing outside for hours after school and ADHD.

That stuff turns kids into zombies. My son was on it a long time ago and i remember how apathetic and tired it made him. Could be thats the way 0 wants ‘em to be in the classrooms so they are in indoctrination mode.

I’ve been a manager in the tech industry for 35 years now. There are a lot of ADD people in generation Y. There is a cause I’m certain, we just don’t know what it is. For better or worse, I screen for it now. They are very high activity workers, but they can’t achieve complex goals in business. Too easily distracted.

We chose to spank our kids, so no need for drugs.
