And stop doping up the kids with Ritalin and other mood drugs just because they’re normal, active little boys and girls.

How about if parents paid enough attention to their kids before they learned to walk and talk, and didn’t park them in “day care” when they got 2 mos. old, to be raised by other people until after college, that just might take care of the problem with ritalin and other drugs that are so widely prescribed to the little darlings. Seems like kids these days are raised by the TV, or other electronic games, etc., plus the bad language and/or habits they pick up from other kids. That’s like planting a garden and never pulling out the weeds! Children need to be tended like gardens, loved, cultivated often, bad habits/language weeded out as they happen, and shown love every day. Hillary said that “it takes a village to raise a child..”, but I say it takes at least one, preferably two parents to properly raise a child. As Barney Fife would say, “nip it in the bud” , it’s called discipline with love.

Not one small argument from me, Beebee.

Ritalin? Ritalin is rarely prescribed anymore. You need to come out of 1970, old man. You are not speaking with any knowledge of this subject, yet you are so adamant. Are you a parent? Are you a psychiatrist?

Or any psychiatric drugs, Dot. I was just using Ritalin as an example, because it’s so well known. The issue here is needless medication to children aimed at curbing their natural instincts AS children.

The whole point of antidepressant drugs in severely depressed or seriously disturbed patients is to prevent suicidal or homicidal behaviour. Unfortunately, however, a reverse reaction (usually only seen with fluoxitine (Prozac) or sertraline (Zoloft)) can occur, in which a spike in suicidal (rarely homicidal) behaviour is seen. This has only ever been observed in the 6-24 year old age range. So while this reaction occurs in patients with severe symptoms, we cannot blame and therefore ban these drugs. While the rare reaction is an unfortunate thing, a patient is fine with proper monitoring until the drug clears the system. Plus without the drug, we would in the population see a higher spike of preexisting suicidal and homicidal behaviours, which would lead to more of these incidents.

Well put. The ADHD drugs also help a lot of people, especially children. They of course need to be properly prescribed, responsibly monitored. They clear the system within a few hours if a patient has an adverse side effect. Ignorant calls to ban medication are just as bad if not worse than those calling for gun control.
