Maybe someday there will be an emphasis on teaching "coping skills" for dealing with depression and hyperactivity starting at an early age. Many people are educating themselves these days and often form a lack trust for a "medical model" of mental illness. A model that is expensive, often unproven, ineffective over the long term and has "side-effects" which can cripple people for life and/or create further mental illness. If you doubt it, pick up a copy of "Anatomy of an Epidemic" and study the research in depth.
