I'm not suggesting that you personally think it's a conspiracy at all. I'm only suggesting that many documentaries like this one are biased. I work in the education field and see the issues you describe on a daily basis. I also know there are therapists and doctors who agree wholeheartedly that there are some who overprescribe. And it's not just kids and ADHD drugs - its every category of drug.
My fear is that these types of scare-tactic documentaries can make people fearful of seeing a doctor when they really need to. And I'm not singling this one out in that respect either.
