Don’t you think it’s kinda bad that they’re advertising ADHD meds for kids?

Question by euphoric(k): Don’t you think it’s kinda bad that they’re advertising ADHD meds for kids?
Constantly I see adds for adhd meds… and it’s clearly for kids. I don’t think they should PROMOTE the use of them. I mean, I could see if they really have a problem then MAYBE. But even then use it as a last resort.

Do you think it’s okay to be advertising medication for kids so young?

Best answer:

Answer by Zorro
is it any worse than advertising snickers as a snack or pop as a thirst quencher?

Answer by Blessed
I think it is terrible that they do that.
But some people whose kids have ADHD are unaware of that fact and
maybe seeing on tv what the symptoms are, they would realize that “hey, my kid is
like that”, would take them to get checked for it.
