They make every single person who sees it think "thats ME!". They basically sell you their product right there on the spot.
But thats just a little bit of how I feel about it
I tend to agree. I think it is way over diagnosed and once on the meds they can't cope without them. I know there are some REAL cases out there and I am not saying that it is not a problem for some. But for others I think sometime they need to be told to suck it up and get over it.

we all have rough patches in our lives, but we don't turn to drugs. we deal with it because as children we had disappointments and learned to live with it.
