I'm getting alittle frustrated with all this ADD/ADHD quick diagnosis that we are lableling children with because it is the designer disease of the month and its cool. Now we have classrooms loaded with children on drugs because they have cut down recess and kids need to get out and play to expend energy.

A sidebar to the kids getting more exercize in order to expend the energy...
My son Scott was found to be suffering from Petit Mal Seizures...it was being masked by the Ritalin he was put on back when he started kindergarten, which was a few years before I met his mom and ended up adopting him. Without going into the details, getting him off the Ritalin and taking care of the problem with something called Depo-keen brought him back to the real world...but the damage (socially) had already been done...the ex and I had to spend the rest of his "childhood" trying to normalize what was damaged...don't ask...there was, we hope, some good out of all of it.
The problem with pumping drugs into kids is that NO ONE is getting at the root of the problem...whether it be organic, chemical or physical. Until that happens, you and the kid are living on fumes and a piss and a prayer...and that just won't cut it.
And if the kid misses a dose of the drugs?
All bets are cancelled...
Just hope he's not in your neighborhood when the S.W.A.T. Team is called out to put him down.
