Why Johnny Can't Think

Bloomberg reports:

Children as young as 4 years old may now be treated with medications such as Novartis AG (NOVN)’s Ritalin for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, under new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Though it is no doubt "for the children," it seems like the perfect solution for overworked parents, teachers, and "professional caregivers." And it might be the antidote to the developing personality; and useful for nipping in the bud those embarassing and politically incorrect tendencies that little ones might display.

It's not a worthy excuse, but might this also be why Johnny kills his parents when he becomes a teenager?
