[quote=Anonymous]Another "money" quote, "The researchers found that the [b]intensive medication management alone or in combination with the behavioral therapy produced better symptomatic relief for children with ADHD than just behavioral therapy or usual community care.[/b] Children who received the combination treatment fared best in other areas of functioning such as social skills and parent-child relations. About half of the initial benefits of the intensive medication management and combination treatments [b]dissipated by the first follow-up[/b], which was two years after the trial began." The kids who did the best got medication and therapy. It's not that the medication didn't help, but the effect dissipates over time, e.g., the first 3 years. So, OP, I know, you're just trying to bate people about medicating, but really the point is to help kids learn how to learn. Your smugness is off-putting, unfortunately there isn't medication for be an ass.[/quote]
