Medicate children. I wouldn’t wish my childhood on Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined

There is a strong movement that is against the allegedly over-medication of children. And while some children are really redundantly over-medicated, some are destined to live the childhood I have had.

Extreme fears, extreme anxiety, autism, extreme social phobia, stuttering, mild depression as a default mood (sometimes moderate to severe depression).

And I have made it without medication. Of course, the neglect is haunting me these days but it was the antidepressants that led me to understand how a normal psyche works (or let’s say some estimate). I was medicated not because of those things but because of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I am horrified seeing how the high-speed trains, the new whole cities, and the new technological inventions of China are built or made and then seeing little Chinese children affected as I was and – of course – without any medication.

Please make their childhood bearable. I wouldn’t wish it on Hitler, Stalin and Mao combined.
