[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 72784, member: 1550"] Not me. I'm of the mindset that, since these problems always existed, we just have more knowledge now. Even as late as 1950 people who were "eccentric" were locked in institutions. Almost everyone who was odd was "schizophrenic." They'd never heard of bipolar in kids or high functioning autism. I consider this medical progress, not diet. And I don't think scientists are in cahoots with the drug companies. I do think some doctors favor some companies, but we, as parents, can avert that by refusing certain drugs. It's up to us what we allow our children to take. We can insist on medications that are tried and true rather than new, trendy, and expensive. I take two generics and do the job just fine. And they are a lot cheaper. [/QUOTE]
