I just roared when I saw this commercial. Then I wondered how many would fall for it.

Well, when you consider that the parents of as many as 1 in 5 children have been persuaded to drug their kids, you can't help but conclude that many adults will be suckered into thinking they have the 'disorder' as well.

The schools told us that 3 out of 4 of my kids should take Ritalin. Since I had a class in Psyhchopharmacology I knew about the theory of State Dependency (if you study high you had better take the test high), I got the drug, replaced it with a placebo and let the school medicate.

The result was that the school was happy saying that the medication worked wonders and gave ny kid great grades.

I did this for the oldest but the next two I told the district to pack sand.

they already do, the number of my co workers who take anti depressents (some for supposed depression others of anxiety) is amazing. Change in diet can do wonders for supposed depression symptoms, lower carb intake does work. (from my experience, YMMV)
