I agree with you. Sorry that didn't come across in my post. Like over-prescription of Prozac because you aren't popular or overweight, there is a great deal of over-medicating our children for a variety of reasons. I resisted medications and still prefer not to go that way. But I'm afraid we've become a quick-fix and medicated society, and are often impatient to get at the root cause of things (like the stimulus ... sorry). When meds work, it can be a blessing.
