More excuse abuse. At this point the medical treatment industry associated with ADHD has too much money at stake not to keep studies like this rolling out.

There's probably substance abuse because the kid grew up taking pills period. Taking pills on regular basis desensatizes the kid to the gravity of the situation taking substances into your body. It also shows junior that if things aren't right just take a pill, a drink, a smoke, a snort etc.

Too many parents wear this crap as a badge of honor. There's even commentors on the original WBUR report proudly declaring and telling the world they have ADHD like a kid showing the class the toy they got for show & tell.

The Pharmacutical mind drugs given to children under bogus "made to Order" diagnoses of ADD/ ADHD and the other 101 mental diseases is the cause. Take them off the drug and they end up in crack town. Do away with the Mental Health Industry and their mind drugs and our future generations will be OK.

Overall, ADHD drugs are bad news. Their side effects are terrible. You should look for healthier and natural alternatives to treat ADHD.

For example, there's a mixed powder that you can buy at Vegan stores or sometimes stores like GNC that has the natural food Phytoplankton which provides Neurological Support for - Mental alertness, ADHD, Parkinson's, and general dementia

I would much rather trust natural foods for my son than a drug like Adderall or Stratteral that cause so many side effects.

If you're already involved in a relationship, either you or your partner will want to make it more exciting and spontaneous. Is this a suggestion that will go down well?
