Since 1990 use of the drug has increased by 700 percent. Generation RX takes a long hard look at this phenomenon interviewing parents, teachers and doctors who prescribe the medication. Critics contend that children are being drugged and sedated instead of helped to adapt to the many pressures affecting their lives. Supporters say that the medication frees the kids from the pain and confusion caused by attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity and other behavioral problems. One thing is clear: no one really knows what the long-term effect of the drug will be, yet thousands of prescriptions are written every day. 538 $a VHS. 650 0 $a Children $x Drug use. 650 0 $a Documentary television programs. 650 0 $a Methylphenidate hydrochloride. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit disorder in adolescence. 650 0 $a Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder 710 2 $a New Video Group. 710 2 $a A & E Home Video (Firm) 710 2 $a Arts and Entertainment Network. 730 0 $a Investigative reports (Television program) 939 $a 5052731 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F1777A482B0511DE80C1F007A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b DAB 952 $l OYAX081 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
