They're giving them to two-year-olds at this point, according to a few studies I've run across. Most of them are being pressured into it by schools that don't want to have to deal with kids that do anything other than sit quietly and exhibit perfect obedience from preschool on up. It's not really different, in that sense, from previous hyper-obedience-focused attempts in our society to force young children to act *very* unnaturally, it's just that now it's drugs instead of beatings.

I'm not into medicating anyway -- what are they expected to do, stay on the drug for the next 70 years? Why not change the person's environment or society's expectation of what they do (as opposed to expecting we all do precisely the same thing), so they don't need drugs to function? Or teach them ways to handle their brain?
