[QUOTE="Jimmy It, post: 77571730, member: 453045"] Adderall not a cure all and while it may be an easier answer it is not always the best treatment. [URL='https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/adhd-behavioral-therapy-more-effective-drugs-long-term/']ScientificAmerican[/URL] As of 2007, 2.7 million U.S. children and adolescents with ADHD were being treated with stimulant drugs. But new research reveals that these drugs are not necessarily the panacea they have been thought to be.
