Q: My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. I don’t understand why it takes a drug to keep my child “well”. I’m not a doctor but she often seems to be over medicated and lethargic. My doctor says these drugs are necessary. Should I look into this further?
A: As women, we are frequently the seekers of medical guidance for ourselves and our children. This can lead to a reliance on medical dogma, which unfortunately is heavily drug-oriented. Our bodies are not made of drugs. There is no "daily need" for any drug that is fundamental to healthy body functions. Drugs are short-term remedies, at best. Learn to use health professionals as part of your resource team and evaluate their input. If you don't understand something, find out more about it. Make your own final health decisions. Take charge of your health!
