Child Medication Article in TIME

Anonymous User writes "

The most recent cover-article in TIME magazine is on medication (or possible over-medication) of youngsters... however, in order to humanize the account, they give two girls personalized treatment (three girls, if you include the sidebar "Life on Medication")... even though it is boys who receive the lion's share of children's prescriptions relating to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

Seriously, look through this article-- where are boys mentioned? Not one. They are completely invisible in this narrative."
