TONIGHT ON A AND E!!!!!

Generation RX: Reading, Writing and Ritalin.
Airs on Tuesday, August 9 at 5:00pm ET


A look at how America's love affair with prescription drugs has moved into the playpen. Today, 4-million children begin their school day by taking a small yellow pill, Ritalin, to control their hyperactivity. Since 1990, there has been a 700% increase in the use of the stimulant. And more than 2.5-million prescriptions for antidepressants were written for pre-schoolers and adolescents. We look at all sides of the issue and talk to pediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers, parents, and children.

Forget the A, it sounds like you're on E.
