[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you consider medication when functioning in one of the 3 major areas is becoming a challenge 1- academic - is at risk of academic failure 2 - social - can't make or keep friends 3- mental health - wellbeing is being affected by it. Response to medication in terms of being able to concentrate doesn't mean anything. It is a controlled substance because it is a psychostimulant and a drug of choice for many who use and abuse it for its effectiveness in helping anyone feel more mentally alert and better able to concentrate. Where you see a response related to ADHD is more in terms of overall life and executive functioning - planning, organizing, emotional regulation, impulsivity etc.[/quote] I’ve always heard that the drugs don’t do anything if you don’t have ADHD.[/quote]
