What to do when you have a child that is ADHD and you don’t want the child to take medication?

August 18th, 2008 | by admin |
Brandi E asked:


My child is ADHD and I cannot bring myself to putting the child on medication b’cus of the fact that they will not have an appetite to eat, will be zoned out like a zoombie, and will have feelings of depression. Please help if you have any advice on this situation. Thank you!

      Generally it manifests it self as constant movement of one kind or another, and the brain tends to try to process several things at one time , not quite accomplishing it, any how it a job that takes patience and understanding . I had 2 children with this problem, probably 3 but the oldest one wasn’t on Ritalin. The two younger ones were, but on a whole it wasn’t something that I witnessed because they were only on it in school, I never gave it to them at home. Teachers didn’t want to deal with them even in special Ed, class. but if I had to go through it all over again, I would probably fight the school system. I truly believe that it probably did more harm then good.
