Normality and Medicine
I think we are getting into medicating anything that isn't considered to be society's "normal". That's stupid. "Normal" is a myth, an illusion. It doesn't exist in reality... at least not a singular norm. There will be something around doctors prescribing certain medications over others... some monetary gain for them, but I haven't quite worked out how it works. I don't think the parents are entirely to blame for medicating their kids. They're human like everyone else, they get the same fear factor that we get from everyone telling us we need to be medicated and some just aren't cynical enough. They don't question enough and so they just agree to let their kids be heavily medicated... I mean, these guys have studied to be doctors, most parents haven't. We are also of an age where fear and negativity sells - not just in medicine, although that's a significant player, but when was the last time you saw a significant positive news story? I know there's a lot of shit happening in the world, but there HAS to be some good, after all, the apocalypse is yet to come.
