Apparently, the authors never had children of their own. When puberty strikes, it’s nothing but personality changes. Shall we automatically load kids up on pills at that age?
An excellent writer on the topic of drugs and kids is Alan Frances, MD, who was head of the DSM4 board and who is extremely upset about DSM5, which essentially provides diagnoses for everything your child does, thinks, or avoids. His latest article, NO CHILD LEFT UNDIAGNOSED is here:

A quick quote from that essay: “Egged on by well meaning (and not so well meaning) experts and by greedy drug companies, we are fast approaching this dystopic wonderland of universal childhood mental illness.”
