I beg to differ with you. Medicine is taken so you can controll yourself. IT DOES NOT CONTROL YOU. ADHD is caused by the chemical levels in the brain. Medication helps bring those levels to an acceptable level.

If you have an ADHD brain then I doubt you are in controll- I know I have been there..I am no longer a slave to my unexplained anxiety, stress, inability to focus and carry on a conversation without changeing the subject.

These types of comments do little but add to the misconception of ADD/ADHD..its a chemical imbalance in the Brain. No amount ot weekly therapy is going to solve your problen neither is snake oil etc. .
