[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to watch this, but I feel apprehensive b/c my son has ADHD and really needs pills (despite our many years of holding off). This is going to take away from those that need it...[/quote]

I think the main thing it's going to do is to make more parents try everything else first before they put their kids on drugs. I know that the best parents do this naturally, but sadly it isn't always the case. People think of these drugs as benign substances because soooo many kids are on them. Many people don't even try things like special diets (or at least never give them a proper chance because they cut corners) because, let's face it, they're hard. My kids are on a special diet too, and I know how stressful it is, but my alternative was also to medicate (although for something other than ADHD) and I'm glad we could address the issues with diet even though it certainly makes life a lot more stressful. Anyway, hopefully this documentary will make parents realize that the drugs aren't free - they do have an impact and that impact could be a very negative one. More awareness is always a good thing.[/quote]
