| General note | Four million American children begin their school day by taking a little yellow pill, Ritalin, to control hyperactivity. Explores the idea of children being controlled by medication. Critics contend that children are being drugged and sedated instead of helped to adapt to the many pressures affecting their lives, and that drugs such as Ritalin may be dangerous. Supporters say that the medication frees the kids from the pain and confusion caused by attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and other behavioral problems. Includes interviews with families of three children who have behavior disorders. |
