I really don't know. I know that my very young daughter had OCD at 7 and her suffering was tremendous and still can be. I know that when she was first diagnosed that 12 years ago I was considering euthanasia and suicide as her pain was too much for me to see and I didn't know how to help her. I know that the meds did help her. Did they damage her mind? Who will know, maybe in several years we will have the diagnostic tools to find that out. I can tell you she is a gifted, intelligent, compassionate lovely young lady. I wrestled with the whole drug thing.

I also know kids who are just active and do agree that SCHOOLS, not parents push the ADHD thing. Where as I expect children to be active and question and have a natural curiosity, it is being disciplined and drugged out of them. We are expecting so much from these young people and when I see peer pressure in Kindergarten I think the battle is lost. Shoot the TV and read.
