I'm sure there's a lot of corruption in the medical industry in the US. These article from the NYT covers up how children are given the wrong treatment.

Over 10,000 American children were medicated for ADHD despite the fact that they are still developing their social skills. Honestly even when people hit 20, their brain still hasn't fully developed, I find this completely absurd.

Want a lil feral, but can't handle the tantrums of the terrible twos and threes? Medicate the raging brat! Your friendly neighborhood AMA rep is ready to help.
