    Lots of caffeine to bring you up during the day and alcohol to slow the racing thoughts at night. It’s no way to live.

    Every once in a while I still encounter parents who are hesitant to get their ADHD kid on meds. I try to explain to them that it’s not really about performance in school even if that’s where it was first noticed.

    It’s about keeping them from killing themselves or engaging in incredibly self destructive behavior.
