Sounds a little to close to a Brave New World

Of course they're doing it for the money. But if BushCo sweeps the schools, diagnosing kids with mental illness that needs to be medicated, there is the pleasant side effect for them of having the power to sedate troublesome people.
There's already serious problems with people getting diagnosed in accordance with the comfort levels of the people around them instead of in accordance with their own mental health needs. I can only imagine how out-of-control it could get if the government set the standard for what would be considered mental illness in students. Odds are that it's just a matter of time before government literature describes anti-war activities as potential symptoms of mental illness in teenagers.
