Things that make you go hmmm
Therapy plus Zoloft helps ease kids' anxiety
This article is about the results of a recently released study, and it's not a bad report on that. The writer did enough research to include this line:
"It's estimated that anxiety disorders affect as many as 20 percent of U.S. children and teens."
But s/he didn't ask why.
Why are so many of our kids are freaking out? Twenty percent is one in five, people! That's six kids in your average classroom who have a serious, incapacitating anxiety disorder.
But the drug companies are making a profit, so we're okay.

I am joining you in those ponderings. How is it possible that so many kids are hurting so much? What to do? How many do we lose to profits of the few before we take action?
