[quote]'Fad mental illnesses' ?[/quote] There's more truth to it than you think. I'm not going to say autism doesn't exist, or that we shouldn't be treating people with it to the best of our ability. But not as many people have it as the healthcare industry would have you believe. And it IS an industry. No question. The prescription drug business is a HUGE business, and the best way to sell you these products are to scare you by saying your kids will be messed up for life without said products.
