As a mother of two young children—well, not so young anymore—who grow very quickly. I constantly see how the system mistreats them. I've experienced it in my closest circle, the misuse of medications.

In my country, healthcare is free. It's not free; we pay for it with very high taxes, but what I mean is that when you go to the doctor, they don't charge you anything, and medications are generally free. That sometimes makes doctors prescribe with too much joy. If I had been born in recent years, I would have been diagnosed with ADHD
because it was a real earthquake. I drove my mother crazy, and I couldn't concentrate on anything; I was always doing a thousand things at once.
Now, any slightly agitated child is diagnosed with ADHD and medicated. But the funny thing is that they barely ask any questions, aren't listened to, and even less are they paid attention to. It seems like medication isn't meant to make children better, but rather to keep their parents from going crazy like mine did.
But if you have children, stress is normal, and you have to learn to live with it.
