[quote=Anonymous]My parents waited too long to medicate me (I’m female and didn’t have the hyper part so mostly just came off as a daydreamer/spacy)—-until my self-esteem has been destroyed by having to work 3x as hard as other kids and still being disorganized/constantly forgetting things, not being able to make or keep friends etc. They finally agreed to try a low dose of medication after my first suicide attempt at age 14. People make all kinds of weird value-judgements about how you should avoid medicating at all costs but I think often times people wait until a kid who’s been working extra hard to compensate completely falls apart, which is a huge disservice to a kid. If meds don’t help your kid or your kid doesn’t like how they feel on them that’s one thing but to not even try to help your kid see if this tool can help them is wrong.[/quote]
