No doubt that is some of the problem. It started years ago, when bleeding hearts started to label children. How many kids today are on some sort of medication for some *condition*.
I think the biggest problem is that the pressure on parents today to create that perfect human in their likeness is unreasonable. If your child doesn't turn out to be a lawyer or a doctor or at least pulling down a 6 figure income,it's because the parent was lousy or the child has OCD or some other condition of the month. Then it was only natural to *treat* the child with some drug.
At the end of the day, everyone can't be the chief. There has to be some indians too.
