Some consider prescribing medicines to children to be an overreaction that shames kids into thinking that their mere existence is problematic.
What is the middle ground?
The average family can barely afford medical services and neither has the time nor the money to seek different medical opinions. This is especially the case for foster children. I refuse to believe that so many children actually need these prescriptions. The prescription drug industry has boomed in the past 20 years. A review of the history of illicit and prescription drugs speaks to the different reasons for such a boom, including capitalism.
