[quote=Anonymous]NP here. My 7 yo DD has pretty severe ADHD -- good at school and in structured situations, but at home and in more casual environments, very hyper, distracted, and generally out of control. This is without meds. We found when she hit 6 that her ADHD symptoms ramped up to the point that we needed to take action for the good of our family and her self-esteem. The meds have helped A LOT. Unfortunately, they wear off in the evening, and that couple of hours can be rough. But the rest of the day is much better and we had a great vacation this year. She was diagnosed by a neuropsychologist, dev ped, and a psychiatrist. The decision to medicate is a tough one. What made it easier for us was that she told us that she hated herself because she coudn't behave (at home).[/quote]
