Answer #1

Just remember, many people with ADD/ADHD get thru life fine without the meds. Having been on meds for this can keep you from ever joining the military, becoming a cop etc. But if it is hindering your life, you do need to consult a physician.

Answer #6

You should consult a doctor about it. Medicine isn’t always the best answer though, so remember to ask your doctor about alternative treatments, even the pros and cons of taking medication for ADHD.
