To be fair, I do know a kid who has been on meds for ADHD, and they have
him off of them during the summer. A few years ago, it got to where by
the end of the summer he couldn't stand *himself* and was glad to get back
on the meds. I just object to medicating when there isn't any evaluation
besides the school just saying "Your kid has to go on Ritalin, period."
To me, this is unethical. The decision to treat should be a medical one based
on reasonable medical (including psych) evaluations.
