The problem with this is that they are on drugs for the rest of their life and if they miss their meds or they build up too big of a tolerance then sometimes they snap and shoot up a school or, if society is lucky, commit suicide without taking anyone else with them. And if they do make it through life then they get to breed and society now ends up with even more mentally unbalanced people.
Not all, but most of these behavioral issues can be treated with a good ass kicking by loving but responsible parents that want to raise good kids and not try to be their friends. Parents that run the house and make the decisions and not the kids.
I firmly believe 95-99% of people on these pharmaceuticals don't need to be.
I agree basically with everything you say. However, I would say the actual amount of people that need medication is closer to 20%.
I really dislike the eugenics argument but nature is a fucking cunt and doesn't five a fuck about feelings. As our society becomes more medically advanced people who suffer form these diseases who would have died in the past are living longer and thus reproducing, creating more of them.
Ok, it might be a bit more than 2-5% but I wouldn't go higher then your 20% definitely. I do firmly believe that, as the tile suggests, meditation, mindfulness, even some good therapy can cure most issues.
Yeah, nature, or life, really does suck and is quite uncaring. The religious will claim this is our test or we are in purgatory or something like that. Me, I think it is simply just probabilities.
I used to think the same thing...it's just bad parenting, but that simply isn't the case. This is a mental disorder, not behavioral. And you misunderstand this type of child...there are no friends. They can't maintain friendships and they are considered "odd" by the rest of the school.
With a lot of kids it is bad parenting. And sometimes even good parents that just didn't make sure their children grew up from a young age playing and socializing with others their age as well as adults. They are odd because they were raised by a TV. They are odd because they never learned how to socialize the traditional ways. They are odd because their only interactions are with their single mother, for example.
Not all of course. Some it is a serious brain chemical imbalance.
I fully agree. I would even say that in most cases, it's parenting...just not all.
