[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 81740, member: 1545"] I don't think it was a criticism of kids who are medicated legitimately. But, the trend to medicate kids is increasing to alarming degrees. I see both sides of the argument. Having raised a child with very unique challenges I understand the need for psychotropic drugs when all other approaches have proved futile. But, working in the health and human service field I also see that some parents want drugs for everything. It is alarming to me. And it's not just kids that we are medicating to greater degrees ... it is people in general. One does wonder how we survived decades ago without the help of all these mind altering substances. It's a big question ... and a broad issue. [/QUOTE]
