Newsflash: children (of just about any species) are typically hyperactive, overstimulated, unable to concentrate, nervous, aggressive, hostile, rebellious. Most of the time the parents exacerbate these symptoms and make them even worse. Many times its their peers. The very last thing I would do to address these issues would be to pump a kid full of extremely powerful, mood-altering drugs. Exercise and more (and proper) parental discipline is the right place to start imo. BigPharma, their sales reps and the dealers errrr shrinks work to meet monthly drug sales quotas as aggressively as car dealers operate to move cars off their lots. Clueless, uninformed, stressed-out parents entering a shrink's lair with hyperative Jonnies are like shooting fish in a barrel.
