Many researchers are making more valuable discoveries about ADHD. With this new research, will parents worry about their child's health? Chances are, most parents will ask questions and research logical reasoning. Although most parents should consider seeking treatment such as therapy or counseling. These options should be considered first, rather than prescribed medications. Most parents don't want their child to be labeled as "special" or "ADHD." For what? These labels are used as linked to a disorder. While some parents blame themselves for being bad parents. Researchers have worked on the causes and triggers of this disorder, but have not found a cure. The cause of ADHD has nothing to do with poor education, school, drug use or drug dealing. ADHD is a common disorder that is usually first diagnosed in childhood. Society has made it a well-known trend. Children of all ages, cultures and colors can be affected by this disorder. My godson Aaron is now 24 years old. old. As a young child, he had difficulty adjusting. His mother couldn't cope. Aaron was running, jumping, and paying almost no attention to his surroundings. His mother would refuse to use any type of medication. Although she sometimes felt like Aaron needed the medicine, she refused. For what? As a parent, she believed that her child only needed guidance and discipline to control some of his behaviors. My godson has never taken medication. Even though “I felt like he needed it”! In 2007, 2.7 million young people received drug treatment. (CDC) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for record purposes, always uses data and statistics to expand its research. Don't...... middle of paper ...... ore, but be careful. Perhaps one day this much-publicized and well-regarded discussion will be constantly publicized until it comes to light. Even if others accept the obvious facts of ADHD, society will remain in doubt. Who knows? If not, then; We continue to salute our researchers and continue to educate on the importance of obtaining early detection of ADHD.
