Is labeling a child with Attention Deficit Disorder Really Necessary?

February 23rd, 2010 | by admin |
shadowman asked:


Thinking back, I was a hyper child in school. Never was given medication but was punished when I acted up. (whipping). Now when some children with alot of energy become restless in school, or a mother can’t control them, they are taken to a doctor. Doctors perform a theroized test on them and say they are in need of meds to slow them down. I really think this is a crock. Do you think it is necessary? And yes, I have researched this before asking. I want to know what you think.
