A member asked:
Please help! what happens if you decide not to give your son adhd medicine if he needs it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use Behavior Mod.: Not everyone uses medications for adhd. You must, however, use behavior modification to protect your own sanity and the sanity of others around him. The other children in the family will suffer if you don't do something to control the behavior. Get some advice on this before you decide what to do.
