Does anyone know the process?

Question

I was curious if anyone knows the process in finding out if my child has add? What do they test. If he has it do they put him on meds? Is there any alternatives to meds? Any down falls to meds? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

there are tests. i don't know what they are. children are easily bored, so it may not be ADD at all, if you're still conserend take him/her to the doctor to find out. soemtimes meds are used in more severe cases. alternatives to meds are practice and patience. meds sometimes alter personalities of the patient, so it's my personal opinion that medications shouldn't be used to treat mental disorders. time and patience are what i think should be implamented
