Ritalin is not for everyone. It is for kids who are incapacitiated by attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It can be a risk worth taking for kids who cannot function or are miserable because of the disorder. I do agree that it is overused, and sometimes given to kids who don't really need it. That is a shame.

Such a dangerous drug and fish oil is a substitute for it.
These widely prescribed stimulant drugs for children may actually stimulate cancer growth.
Ritalin is not only a short-term solution for Attention Deficit Disorder, but it can also have extremely negative long-term effects for a child ...
Ritalin, one of the drugs often used for ADD/ADHD, is actually more potent than cocaine.
