I agree - I think that doctors are unethically quick to prescribe medication (especially to kids and teenagers) instead of helping them work through issues. And I think that parents are too damn lazy to seek out other options.
But speaking from pure, personal experience, the meds I am on have helped me, personally, more than I can express. I think that they're right for me right now. Not for the rest of my life, maybe, but right now there is a HUGE improvement over last year.
Not for everyone and I certainly don't advocate for it... But for me, the improvement is so clear.
