Mrs. CAC, I did not intend to be dismissive. That is why I put the disclaimer about how some people really do need these things. I also know that it is human nature that if you are a specialist in something, you will tend to find it more.

I did not mean to offend at all. I just often wonder (and I really don't have an answer to this), are we seeing more and more depression and ADD because of environmental factors that have changed in the last 40 years (diet, processed foods, chemicals, etc) or are these things really highly over-diagnosed?

At some point, if half the population exhibits a trait, is it really a medical condition or just part of the human condition?

Gone the carvings and those who left their mark.
Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
