http://www.theage.com.au/tv/show/kids-on-pills-20120106-1pny5.html - The diagnoses of children with manic depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD have risen by a shocking 4,000 per cent in the past 10 years. Most commonly used to treat these disorders are psychotropic drugs, stimulants with similar effects to amphetamine, methamphetamine and cocaine. Prescriptions have risen 250 per cent despite criticism from many in the medical community.
