[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly half of kids with ADHD aren't on meds. I would call that complex.[/quote] It's not "not being on meds" that is complex. Having been on meds and disliking them so much that you go off and won't consider trying anything else and then are engaging in risky behavior -- that's complex. It's having your doctor recommend and write a prescription for meds and being unwilling to even consider it -- that's complex. I don't think meds are the be all and end all, and there are certainly people who find a way to manage without meds (my DS being one of them for now), but having problems in school, doing drugs and being unwilling to consider meds spells a more compacted situation for me -- a kid who needs more support from someone other than his parents and a developmental pediatrician who writes a scrip.
