View submission: Thanks I hate it
I hate it because ADHD can be debilitating. The best thing my daughter's psychologist told me was that it is better to have an ADHD label than to have people give her their own label. Meds haven't made her any less creative. They've enabled her to use her gifts.

There have been some studies that show that medication usage during the right time periods of a child's grown help reinforce their brain structure, and allow them to be much less symptomatic when they are adults. Sometimes the anti-medication stuff out there is no different than telling people that they shouldn't wear their glasses, because the world will look different if they do.
