[QUOTE="compassion, post: 226880, member: 6393"] I am someone who was very determined NOT to medicate or label my kids. My son is now 18 ADHD and never been medicatec. He also chooses not to go that route even tough focus is hard for him in classroom setting, about 20 mnutes is what he can sustain. My daughter I also chose to not medicte until her behavior got so extrem and scary at age 15. She is now on Abilify and Lactimal and it helps alot. She is sitll and alwsy will be an incredible high energy person who needs conatant situmlation but the rages she had sincea ge 3 seem much better. She also was seriusly self mdicating with drugs and alcholhol and is gling to frequent AA meetings as well as weekly therapy and biweekly psychiatrist appointments. It is not etiher /or. it is greif process. I felt so adamntly not to medicate or go the mainstream medical route. I take what I like and leave the rest. My experince is if it really is a nerochemical factor that medication is necessary. I do not think this is very common My readings putit at aobut 1% for bipolar. Compassion [/QUOTE]
