The stereotypical medicated kid in America is wealthy and spoiled and retains a psychiatrist to guarantee him extra time on tests or to help process the emotional fallout of being neglected by high-powered working parents.

Children in poor families are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with emotional and behavioral problems.Source: Misunderstanding Medicated Kids Pacific Standard
