Yes..but: Many of these kids have multiple associated symptoms that drugs either amplify or have no effect on. They can also evolve their pattern of problems as they get older. Talk therapy/behavioral guidance is an important tool of management. If you are depending on meds alone you should consider adding it to the plan of treatment.
