Feed Your Head / Re: Overmedicating children - when?
« on: September 01, 2011, 10:28:28 AM »
I've always felt that kids were being over-medicated. In the 80's, it seemed a lot of kids were on Ritalin to keep them from being too hyper. Now it seems Adderall is the popular medicine to keep kids calm. Personally, I don't think all of these kids have ADD or ADHD. I think for the most part, they are kids being kids. Kids are supposed to be energetic and excited. I do realize that there are some kids that do need to be medicated and that the medication helps them concentrate in school but I definitely don't think this is the case for every child who is being medicated for ADD or ADHD.

I think this is the way for all health treatments and services. If one always relies on the state or insurance company to cover all the expenses and pay for all of their medicines, then there's no reason to try to save money or find better ways. But once someone is put in the position of paying for all or more of their medical costs, they suddenly take a more active role in finding more effective and more affordable ways of treatments and medicines.

I do think it's frustrating that doctors and researchers don't know how one becomes autistic. I can understand how one can assume it's vaccinations since those are usually the biggest changes in a child's life. But I would think there would be an increased number of cases between children who get vaccinated and those who do not.
