[quote=Anonymous]" Now researchers are trying to understand why. The answer could lie in [b]sub-optimal use of the drugs, or failure to address other factors that affect performance, such as learning disabilities. Or it could be that people place too much hope on a simple fix for a complex problem[/b]. “What we expect medication to do may be unrealistic,” says Lily Hechtman, a psychiatrist at McGill University in Montreal." My child is medicated with two drugs for ADHD, both fairly low doses for her body weight. Without them she can function but it's so much harder for her to keep still, to control her body and to take in information and organize her thinking. She's developing good habits though and eventually I think she won't take medication any more, when the need to memorize facts, for example is not applicable to her life. [/quote]
