Ritalin is a shocking drug that is just like speed! It is doled out in the US like vitamin c tablets for symptoms that are simply classic characteristics of childhood in a lot of cases. My first question to a psych that was trying to pump my child full of pills based on NO biological or neurological evidence of these so called 'brain diseases' that all our kids suddenly have, would be "what are your kids on?" and I bet the answer would be "nothing" in nearly every case! x
