Reply To: Medicating vs Spanking

catch: What evidence do you have that “in majority of the case, it is done inappropriately?

my evidence is that I see teachers that are not always very good and then they recommend parents to evaluate/medicate, etc. I see kids who behave badly in some classes, and not others. And I hear a similar testimony from a number of other people in my and in other cities. This in addition to researching the issue and finding out that criteria are pretty fuzzy. Good controlled experiment should come from parents who were pushed to medicate and then had kids at home for COVID. Hopefully, they stopped medication. Now, compare how these kids performed at home comparing with their peers.
