The Ritalin issue is simply one more problem in the long pattern of doling out medication when people don't need it. A lot of people I've met have taken numberous kinds of psychiatric drugs for, depression, anxiety, etc, when psychological disorders are supposed to be rare or at least uncommon compared to the general population. Doctors are also prescribing antibiotics like candy when a patient makes a slight complaint or even has a sickness like a cold where the medicine won't even help. Medicating as a solution to every problem is a dangerous habit.
