The biggest problem with kids is parenting, or lack thereof. Where I'd get a good crack ( my kids got one, too ), kids nowadays get talked to in great length, or ignored because "they have to be allowed to express themselves". "Horsehockey!", as Col. Potter used to say. Kids need love, guidance, and discipline. The kids I see in the ER who are on all these meds suffer a severe lack of parenting. They're no different than the kids I grew up with, who all managed to turn out OK. And, no medicine.
