Great ad hom. I do have a BA in psych (that's psychology, not psychiatry), and I do have a lot of experience with psychologists and psychiatrists in my life, but none of that's relevant at all. The burden of proof lies with the party to make the claim, in this case, that Ritalin is somehow dangerous or over prescribed. I'm asking for that burden to be reached. Or at least attempted.

What life experiences? You didn't mention life experiences.

"Ritalin is over prescribed."
"It is? How do you know?"
"Prove it isn't!"
"That's not how the burden of proof works."

Do you pay your doctor for an hour of his or her time? Now, how about your psychologist/psychiatrist? The two aren't the same.

You've been "here"?
Why is everyone getting pissed? It's a simple thread on a simple subject.
