The use of Ritalin in the USA and Europe has been growing so fast and alarmed many people. Doctors are arguing with parents about giving Ritalin yes or no. Teachers are arguing with parents about giving Ritalin, yes or no. Many schools started to force parents to medicate their child so that his behaviour will conform more to the other children in school. When parents refuse they risk to have to take the child away from the school or kindergarten. Families "in stress" found that Ritalin is a quick help to "unstress" the family situation, but no remedy for the long run. More people started to wonder about side effects and what "real" experts have to say about longer use of ritalin. We welcome all information about RITALIN.
