dont medicate you children with ADHD

im currently watching a doc on medicating kids. i grew up with ADHD and i never used medication dispute have a none ending prescription but i found that i was much more successful. and why are they treating a attention disorder which is not just the lack of attention but also getting trapped into hyper focus with anti depression drugs that only treat a side effect of the disorder or what every you want to call it. but for the parents dealing with this sort of thing ride it out trust me it is worth it my mom did and I'm much more successful for it. treat you kids like any other kid with the same expectations and they will do well. yes it is hard but it is what they need. i look up to my mom a ot now for the help she has given me in life and now as a father i hope i can have just as much of a positive impact on his life as my parents did on me. and no i'm not in a trade i have an education and work in electronics for the government.

if any one has a child with ADHD or ADD feel free to pm yes this is a rant but i have lived through it and i hate drugs its sure a bad idea so please dont go that way

edit: some books to look into are Driven to Distraction and you mean i'm not lazy stupid or crazy, and still go see the doctors just be very questionable when they say drugs are the answer.
