 ADHD and Medication

People often ask me for my opinion about treating ADHD with medication... and I always give the same response.  I believe medication for ADHD (or any mental illness) is a personal decision and one that should be carefully considered.  In short, it's a personal decision and one that only you can make for yourself or your children.  

Some cases of ADHD do not require medication for significant improvement to occur at home and in the classroom, yet other types are severe and medication can be an important factor in the overall treatment plan for some people.  I encourage people to learn as much as they can about natural ways to combat symptoms utilizing techniques such as behavior modification, plenty of physical exercise, positive reinforcement for desired behaviors and task completion, appropriate nutrition and meditation are all extremely beneficial.  

Parents are ultimately left with the responsibility for how their children will be treated for ADHD, mental illnesses or medical conditions.  I am confident you will make the right choice for your family.
