[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't there a study just published that said the medicated kids did better in school but earned less as adults, and the non-medicated kids did worse in school but made more $$ as adults?[/quote] The report stated this in regards to adults medicated as children, not adults treated as adults which your statement alludes to: Results pertaining to childhood medication treatment were quite interesting. Adults with ADHD who had not received medication treatment as children (n=329) were over three times as likely to be unemployed than those who had (n=75). This finding remained even when educational attainment was controlled for. Adults who had not been treated with medication in childhood also reported significantly higher rates of anxiety and depressive symptoms.
