My thoughts exactly. What used to be called "being a kid" is now a syndrome. IMO most "syndromes" are perfectly normal behavior. Some kids are hyper and some are more lethargic. It is up to the parents to be parents. These days it's just too easy to medicate the kid. After all they are easier to control when they're medicated.anygunanywhere wrote:A large portion of children are now medicated as a result of the diagnosis of ADHD. What is really needed is discipline and structure, and parental involvement in their children's lives. Previous generations have matured and grown old without medication.
Now adults are on the medication wagon. Just what we need - more drug induced adults walking around.

As far as a CHL - who knows. It may steady a persons hand. Personally, the smell of burned powder has always affected me. My kind of euphoria. And after the session, a little dab of Hoppes #9 between each ear has made me feel sensuous.
Why not extend it to adults. If they show signs of individualism there must be something wrong. Medicate to control the pers...err the "medical" problem.
As far as CHL. Is being treated for mental disorders a disqualifier? Does ADHD qualify as a mental disorder?
