In the film we saw in class The Medicated Child we saw several children who had been diagnosed with various psychiatric illnesses and who had been given various drugs, often a large number of drugs several that affect the brain, mood and many other things. One of the doctors in the film even admitted that it was a guessing game. In my opinion until your brain has finished developing you shouldn't try to change it. The only reason children had access to a psychiatrist and could be prescribed any drugs was because their parents, or their parents' insurance, could pay for it. As we learned in Busfield's article, the drug companies are there to make money if they couldn't afford the doctors or the pills, personally I think at least two thirds of those kids would have been better off
