[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TLDR; ADHD meds keep teachers happier but don’t actually result in better learning outcomes for kids at school.[/quote] My son was depressed by 2nd or 3rd grade. He told me he was tired of “being bad.” He hated school, teachers, other kids because they didn’t want to be his friend. Medication saved him. He could finally control his own actions. He could think before acting. The impulsivity greatly diminished. Kid wanted to bf friends with him. He could finally put his thoughts on paper because his mind wasn’t racing a mile a minute. He’s in college now and no longer needs medication. I doubt he’d be in such a good position now without them. [/quote]
