Well actually it was 1983; my mom was doctor hopping and found a special team of doctors specializing in adolescent behavior. There was a psychologist, a psychiatrist and someone else that I don't remember their title. They would interview my mother and I as a team -while we sat in a large conference room. It was suggested that ritalin might not be effective and that the dose I was on was way too low (I didn't want to take it anyways). So they put me on a much larger dose to see if it had any effect on my behavior.
As far as ethical; I think that issue that I was facing would've been more appropriately handled by some sort of afterschool homework program. Insurance wouldn't pay for that though.
