Other treatments would be great, yet between the ages 6-17, of those diagnosed with ADHD, over 2/3 are prescribed meds while less than half receive behavioral treatment.

My point is that unfortunately these medications are still used as primary treatment.

Edited for context.

Is that accurate? I thought the moral panic over ADD over-diagnosis has been around since the 90s, where the narrative was too many rambunctious boys were being given medication. "The Ritalin Generation." Are you saying this situation really hasn't improved in nearly three decades?
