[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD etc drugs are one of the most wrongfully highly prescribed medication in the US for kids

Meds are absolutely necessary for some ADHD kids.   If you’re looking into an ADHD diagnosis because of sports, I find that very suspect.  There would be evidence in all aspects of life,  and to medicate your child for a perceived athletic advantage is wrong on many levels.  [/quote]
This. I have a sporty kid who just got diagnosed in 6th last year. We’re trying therapy before meds. It’s totally wrong to put your kid on meds for sports. There are side effects. [/quote]

Hmmm. I have kids with severe ADHD and they don't medicate for sports. I am not against it, but the medications have side effects that are challenging. One of them takes medication in the morning on school days and the other only on days he has tests. Without a doubt the ADHD affects them in sports but (cost-benefit analysis) it isn't worth it for us to medicate. That said, if we didn't see the side effects, sure I'd consider it.[/quote]
