It's been a while since I wrote about excessive water consumption. If you've been a reader of mine for any length of time at all, you know how I feel about the modern water craze.

This sounds to me like a step in the right direction, and I applauded the APA and AACAP for bucking the trend toward the universal medication of children that Big Pharma’s been lobbying for over the last few decades

Very rarely does the mainstream media surprise me with anything it reports about medicine. Even less often do they surprise me with their reporting on now-common childhood mental health problems – things like the largely made-up "disease" of ADHD, depression, and mood disorders…
