Topic 8.9
What is a valid argument against the use of prescribed medications as a first-line treatment for ADHD in children?
Medications never effectively treat the symptoms of ADHD.
Children cannot accurately report their symptoms, making medication ineffective.
Medications can have side effects and long-term impacts on developing brains that non-pharmacological interventions may avoid.
Prescribing medication stigmatizes the child, causing more harm than benefit.
