One Response to ADHD/ADD

    I feel that parent's should strongly think about allowing their children to take any drugs
    pertaining to "ADHD/ADD.
    Some children may fall asleep in
    class. If they do allow their kids
    to get treatment they should speak
    with their dr. and make certain the
    correct tests are given/taken and the right diagnosis is revealed to
    them.. I only know of one case where the person is still antsy after all these years of treatment.
    But now in 2009, kids will get the
    right treatment, i hope, for their
    own well being..
