it's very sad to see these brilliant children go through this and not really knowing what the best course of action would be. i've seen studies that blame genetics, blame diet or the environment. i have no simple answers, but i things it's possible that all these things are contributing factors. i mean, just look at a typical tv commercial, no scene lasts for more than about a second. our tv commercials say a lot about our society, it's almost like a snapshot.

i would encourage everyone to at least try drug-free alternatives, although i'm sure i would consider every possible course of action if it were my child. i personally have not had very positive experiences with drugs, and i think the thing that's so screwed up is that the drugmakers have no financial incentive to create cures, because they make much more money by creating a drug that just masks the symptoms, so that you have to keep taking it.

overall i've shied away from all types of pharmaceutical drugs for this very reason, even refusing things like antibiotics most times. then when i nearly died in a car accident they started giving me pain killers and i learned all about the horrors of opiate addiction firsthand. that was an extremely difficult lesson to learn.
