Recent studies have shed some light on the way these druge actually work. And it is frightening. The class of mood enhancing, anti depressants, in which Ritalin is classified, have permanent effects on the brain. They literally re-wire the way your brain functions, and nobody knows how, or to what end.
So here we are as a society, re-wiring our children, using them in one of the largest, un-authorized scientific trials in history, with no true idea of the end result. I only hope "little Johnny Guinnypig" is still human when we finish this "test".
