About that article,
That whole ADHD meds as a kid thing.....
Wow. I was always anti med until Bean was born and then I was desperate for something just to keep her from killing herself doing crazy things like jumping out the window or using the stove, scissors in the middle of the night...
Those ADHD meds didnt really help unless she was calm when she took them, then they would work for like, 2 hours. Still, she was up all night cutting her hair, plucking her face in a mirror, etc. I would find a trail of activities she did in the morning. 5-11 years old. I didnt know what to do.
I think if I had to do it all over again, I would stand my ground and demand more help. Demand that they find out what is really going on. But I think we would have had the same results. We had a county pdoc and all these studies are just now coming out.

When she turned 12 is when all hell broke loose, we moved to another county, she was hospitalized and she finally got the proper help and meds she needed AND for the first time, she sleeps.
It seems a lot of kids with serious MI start out diagnosed as ADHD. It seems most look this way when they are young. Im glad they are doing research on this because it seems so many are on a stimulant. This is big news.
Although in Beans case there are 3 cases of schizophrenia in a close relative. We only knew of 1 when she was born and thought nothing of it.
Thank you for posting that info!
