What are your thoughts on ADD/ADHD and people who use medication to treat it?

It’s just like any other illness. I would counter with asking someone what their thoughts were on diabetes, depression, or any other disorder/illness

I have seen the proper medications work miracles in some children with true ADD/ADHD. Others, I have seen it used as a means for lazy parents to control an otherwise healthy, yet energetic child. Used properly, I see great benefit. I also do not see why these individuals should not be allowed to serve in uniform ( MSgt Steve Sweeney does a fantastic job of explaining why this should be so).

SSGT Ethan Mace, over the years, I’ve seen people and their kids with these issues find out later that they where just faster than the class. I would get a few option, before playing a youth under ten years of age on these, because the body is still changing. Age group 11 through 15 year old can the parents how the medications are affecting them, or maybe the doctor a combination medication and change of diet and family outreach can help.
