Warning Urged for ADHD Drugs

The Washington Post, on the same day it all but places the blame for the increase in cigarette, alcohol, and drug usage by girls on boys and men, also reports that an FDA Panel is urging the use of very serious notices with ADHD drugs "because of reports that they may have caused sudden deaths or serious complications." It makes some reference to how 10% of 10-year-old American boys have been placed on these drugs (you read that right: TEN PERCENT) but doesn't spend a lot of time suggesting that it's the fault of girls that they "need" it.

You can be pretty darn sure though if 10% of America's 10-year-old girls were on ADHD drugs, just as with their other article, the Post would be blaming males for it.
