[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing that most people don't seem to get is: ADHD is a neurological disorder. Meds don't make it go away. Most of the time, the symptoms hang around for a lifetime. Failure to treat ADHD, though, can lead not only to poor academic performance but also poor self-eteem, self medication through drugs and alcohol, and more. If you just give your kid a pill and then ignore the issue, it isn't surprising that ADHD continues to be a factor in poor academic performance. The meds aren't magic, after all. [/quote] This. And this is well known and communicated by doctors and therapists who treat ADHD. The medication is needed so that behavior modifications and interventions have a chance to be learned and work for the child with the hope that one day they will become automatic.[/quote]
