A Serious Medical Probe Into This Scandal Is Long Overdue

We are drugging an entire generation of kids to combat a questionable ailment.
Since 2006, the number of children being given Ritalin has soared by 50% to 660,000.
They’re dosed with this drug as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which many (including me) doubt exists.
Yet lobbyists for ADHD now claim three-quarters of kids with the “condition” have yet to be diagnosed.
That suggests 2.5 million children are so afflicted, which is clearly ridiculous.
A serious medical probe into this scandal is long overdue.
