Is it illegal to refuse medication as treatment for an adhd child in Washington st or would you be unfit?

October 23rd, 2011
Janice asked:


My husband has a ten yr old son that we had temporary physical custody of for a year and four months. Nothing has ever went through the courts. During this time my husband took his son off ADHD medication and kept him enrolled in counseling. We saw no improvement in his behavior on the medication. The mother is now saying that he is unfit and the child should live with the grandparents because of this. Does this meet the criteria of an unfit parent if the illness is not life threatening?
They have a previous therapist from when he was on medication that has written a letter stating that when he is off medication his behavior deteriorates but it didn’t while he was living with us. He was actually doing better in school and we have school grade records to prove this.

How does an ADHD diagnostic test work?

August 15th, 2011
Anonymous asked:


I’m 16 years old, and I have an appointment in February to see a doctor for an evaluation to see whether or not I can be prescribed medicine for ADHD. I was just wondering what this process would entail, seeing as the appointment will be 2 hours long. Approximately 30 minutes of those minutes would be spent filling out paperwork and stuff like that, but I was just curious. Thanks!
