It is pretty amazing that we have global pharmaceutical companies that decide "child depression" is the next big market, and then make it so. That, we will look back upon in amazement and disgust.
In fact, I think that the extent to which we've allowed society to be shaped by corporate competition and profit motive will at some future time seem absurd. We are still living in the shadow of a Capitalist/Communist debate that almost guarantees ignorance to actuality. i.e. Capitalism is good because we know Communism is bad. So we sacrifice again and again at the altar of not-Communism. Those kids jacked up on neuro-modulators are part of the sacrifice. They are the recipients of unnecessary action due to motivations that have extended too far. Their plight is the satiation of share-holders, and we know that's Capitalist and thus, not bad.
