Commet on 'The kids aren't all right'

I cannot even finish reading the article before responding to this one. I believe that it is the pharmaceutical industry that has found another label for profit, and doctors are making the commission. No kid needs a pill to alter his behavior. A pill is taking the place of responsible parents that are just drugging their kids and putting them in front of the electronic baby-sitter (i.e., television). It is an out-of-control phenomenon that has taken over the Western Culture with the potential of a no turning back societal mentality. It is a sad state of affairs when we have become so advanced in medication to prolong life that altering the natural brain chemistry of our children just to catch a break from their hyperactivity of exploration and non-stop questions takes precedence over their untarnished health. How selfish this Western society has become. Take the time to balance the child's diet and nurture their active brains with the parental attention addressing their every movement and question with reasonable and understandable responses and observe a child that is content with life.
