The ADHD frightening issue...

In the pediatrician's waiting room, I was overwhelmed by all this advertising stuff about ADHD disorder. Each drug company had its own. When you read  it, it seems that all the children must be treated for this "hyperactivity" disorder.

"- Does your child have trouble paying attention in class or completing homework?
- Is your child constantly out of his or her seat?
Does your child find it diificult to wait for his or her turn when playing games?"

If it was correctly prescribed, it will be OK ; for sure some children need those drugs to behave and to learn but way to many physicians are prescribing it. Lobbying is a big issue ; big drugs companies make profits with those lucrative pills...

Right now, prescriptions of those pills for young adults are increasing a lot ; they are diagnosed with "deficit hyperactivity disorder" at very late age. 8 to 35 % college students take those "stimulant" pills to enhance school performance ; it's very usual to take one  when you have a homework to do during the night. Some are getting them illegally. The Drug Enforcment Administration classified those pills with cocaine, they have the same effect and you can be highly addictive with them. Some suicides oocured among college students when they can't stop those "evil"s pills.

One of those drug companie's CEO however said about those pills that "they are safer than aspririn"... They advertise it as it is responsible for all the "bad" things happening in your life...

The prescription should me monitored more accuratelly.
