although there are obviously people that are bipolar, and add, and all of that, the over diagnosis of these ailments is insane. i know someone who is just mean. period. rude, verbally abusive. prideful. and of course she just got diagnosed bipolar. i work in health care and know bipolar, and shes not bipolar. same with kids with add. kids never had a problem 40-50 years ago, now all of the sudden every other kid is add and needs meds? they probably need a firm hand and maybe a belt. society wants to label everything, understand everything and get the quick fix for everything. so we diagnose anyhting and everything and give them meds instead of slapping them upside the head and telling them to shape up.

don't even get me started on pain meds. you don't even want to know where that whole fiasco has gone.
