[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the backlash against OP for taking too long to medicate is particularly helpful. There is such a huge amount of judgment around medication for children with ADHD. It's unfortunate that, like many others, OP let society's judgment cloud what she needed to do for her kid, but she's turned the page, and that's a good thing. More than one of the PPs mentioned that their only regret was not medicating sooner. While their children's cases were maybe not as severe as OP's child, it's clearly fairly common for there to be a delay in doing medication. Congratulations and support to all families who are seeing great results with medication. Let's focus on spreading the word and hopefully swinging the pendulum back from socieity's knee-jerk anti-med thinking.[/quote] I don’t think the data show society (in the US) has an anti-med bias. If anything it’s the other way around.[/quote]
