The medicating kids thing hasn't stopped, at least not in my neck of the woods. I have a close acquaintance whose five-year-old is taking Adderall because his teacher was annoyed at their rowdiness and the mom is like "well the doctor says it's fine so I guess it's okay even though I don't think they really need it..."

It makes money, screws up the neurochemistry of young people, and is an easy fix for lazy parents, so I doubt the practice will stop any time soon.
