IMNSHO I think both is true. Medication is way overused for children, I think teachers sometimes are too quick to recommend meds to kids who does not need it AND I think that some kids has ADD and meds help them tremendously.

I also think that meds for add should not readily be prescribed by a family practitioner but preferably by a psychiatrist who can manage the meds long term. Finally, I think kids who get those meds should receive therapy and training in how to handle their disorder.
