Hey, calm down, I wasn’t saying that complications of having ADHD couldn’t possibly be life threatening. The point of what I was saying is that people with ADHD have a choice of how they choose to treat their own symptoms–people with diabetes or emphysema (to name a couple) do not have that choice. Everyone has to find what’s right for them; for some, it may not be medication. There are alternatives, like CBT, for example. If they work for someone, that’s terrific. I know it wouldn’t work for me, just as I know toughing it out without medication doesn’t work for me either.
Let me try another example: If I lost one of my legs, I would be able to decide for myself if I wanted to:
a. Use a wheelchair
b. Get a prosthetic
c. Use crutches
d. Combination of the above
Do you see what I’m trying to say? If PrettyInPink;s symptoms are not bothering her or interfering with her living her life, then why should she take medication for it?
