I don't think you're supposed to outgrow ADHD, are you?

I've read that study for work, I think. It's fairly damning, and there's some other stuff along the same lines, IIRC. Basically, the meds seem to reduce the problem behaviors and make life easier but somehow, they don't do much for long-term success. There are also some interesting findings re medicating and risk for drug and alcohol addiction--no difference either way.

However, there have been some other studies finding small positive effects on school performance. I don't think we have really conclusive evidence just yet.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is looking better for ADHD, I believe? Diet has also been prtety convincingly shown to be a factor for many. Sleep issues are also thought to be an undiscovered factor for a lot of kids. Sleep is huge.
