My point is this. More damage was done to me in my teens by psychiatrists than I ever had a chance to do to my self. Adolesence sucks. The Boomer attitude to children not behaving nicely enough has been a dismal failure, and has distorted the expectations for the generation of parents after them. Medicating kids as a first option may make them sit still for a while, but the kids won't learn how to self-regulate, they'll just learn to take drugs to be the person they're expected to be.
