[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is he on meds in the first place? The over diagnosis and over medication of ADHD is pretty well documented. [/quote] oh STOP this nonsense on the special needs board. [/quote] It’s not nonsense - it’s in fact well established. I brought it up because OP wants her child to possibly be off meds so it seems extremely relevant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8042533/[/quote] I do not think that study means what you think it means.[/quote] It says: “ In this systematic scoping review of 334 published studies in children and adolescents, convincing evidence was found that ADHD is overdiagnosed in children and adolescents. For individuals with milder symptoms in particular, the harms associated with an ADHD diagnosis may often outweigh the benefits.”[/quote]
