IMO it’s criminal that drugs are prescribed as often as they are by doctors for supposed hyperactivity in children. Children are supposed to be active, they should should playing outdoors and burning up the energy instead of sitting in front of a computer or TV.
Agreed. The pharmacuetical market is shifting their advertising strategy from ‘Phycisian marketing’ (bribes to overprescribe) to ‘Direct to Consumer marketing’ (give consumer info, then consult with the Dr.). Your dead on, kids that are overactive need physical activity. It releases stress relieving chemicals into the brain. Same for adults actually with 40 million Americans now suffering from anxiety. I treated my own problem with eating less carbs and physical activity.
