What if the correlation between learning/attention/behavior problems and SBD is not only due to causation of the former by SBD, but something that is causing both SBD *and* those other issues?

"According to the CDC over 100k toddlers are being medicated for ADHD." I read a lot of horrifying things (unfortunately) but this is one of the most horrifying statements I've read in quite a while. I'm hesitant to judge parents who are at their wit's end with their child's challenging behaviour, or are put under enormous pressure by teachers or pediatricians to medicate their child, but it just staggers the mind to think that parents would put their kids on powerful stimulant meds at such a young age.

I hope this article saves some of those poor kids from having their brain chemistry messed with.
