I agree with this...Not everyone is CAPABLE of handling things by themselves.
But, as a whole, I believe that there is far, FAR too much unnecessary medicating going on...It's the unnecessary cases (which I truly believe have become the majority), that I have a problem with.
EDIT: You have outlined pretty much every exception to what I've said (you're good at that :p)...And YOU are an excellent parent, you're there for your son, it's obvious how much you love him...You spend lots of time with him, you do what you know is best for him, you take a VERY active role in his life, and you are very protective of him.
But, you can't ignore the fact that not all parents are like you...Many choose pills as an easy alternative to parenting (I've seen it, it's disgusting and sad)...There are so many 'parents' these days who just don't have the time or the patience to take care of their children properly...These are the same parents who blame horror movies, video games, society, etcetera for their children's bad behavior, while accepting no fault themselves.
