They do. Also at higher frequency in pilots, ER staff, accountants, salespeople, entrepreneurs. At least before kids started being medicated.

Kids being medicated - now that's an unfortunate generalization. Please don't assume that all medicated children are being fed drugs to make them conform to a group norm. There are some kids who legitimately have problems with managing their attention, and who could benefit greatly from a medication that offsets the neurotransmitter imbalance that prevents them from doing so.

No assumption made. Just noting that medications are a relatively new input into the ongoing data on choice of profession, so frequency will likely be impacted.
