One medication-free therapy helped her son's ADHD so much, our blogger Stephanie calls it miraculous.
One of the most controversial treatments is medication. To medicate or not to medicate is a common topic among message boards, social media, and support groups. There is still a stigma attached to medication for a child with ADHD. We made the decision to medicate our children when they were younger . Personally, I can say that I wish we would have tried it sooner.
There are two types of medications: stimulants and non-stimulants. They work in different ways, and different medications work for different children. I’m neither a doctor nor a pharmacist, so I won’t get into that, but I can say it often is a period of trial and error to find a medication that works. Managing side effects can be frustrating as well.Behavior therapy is a common treatment for ADHD. It can be done by a psychologist, behavior specialist, therapist, or teacher.
Personally, we have tried just about all of these treatments. Some worked well , and some didn’t work at all . Cognitive behavior therapy changed my son’s life so much I could call it miraculous. Just like most everything associated with ADHD, nothing is quick or easy. What works for your neighbor’s child won’t necessarily work for your child. This is a marathon, not a sprint. And again, please make sure to run everything by your physician or pharmacist before starting any new treatment.
