[quote=Anonymous]I liked that they addressed the issue of teens and 20-somethings taking ADHD meds selectively, due to side affects, and extremely unaddressed aspect of ADHD medication that is widespread. I also know lots of families who do this for younger ages -- only take the meds on school days, or take a break from it in the summer and holidays. It greatly undercuts the idea that people need ADHD meds "to function" and clearly indicates environmental causes to symptoms. It also raises the very real side effects to ADHD meds and how problematic they can be over the long run, probably the most-discussed one being appetite suppression and how hard this can be on teens especially.[/quote]
