It seems every time I turn around, there is another report telling me to medicate my kids (or myself) for something or another! Are we over-medicating ourselves? I know adults, now, who are being medicated for ADHD, and it seems that adults are taking anti-depressants in epidemic proportions. Previously undiagnosed, these pillars of our society are resorting to medication to "help them focus" and to help them cope with everyday life! Could it be that chronic over-scheduling is the root of all this mayhem? Could it be that stress, anxiety, depression, lack of focus, sleep deprivation, and a host of other symptoms could be eradicated by merely simplifying our lives somewhat?
There is no doubt in my mind that medication is a necessity for some, but just how many individuals out there are resorting to medications to help them function when all they really need to do is to slow down? What are your thoughts on this topic?
