“To deplore the use of a tool that can not only relieve suffering, but actually turn it into success, health, and joy, well, that’s just plain ignorant, as well as cruel to the people who it scares away from ever trying medication.”This quote perfectly sums up the pervasive fear among adults and caregivers of children diagnosed with ADHD.
