No - it's fine, it wasn't meant just for Becky, I just thought she would know about these things.

Thanks for your reply. They said on the program that it's much more common in the States and Canada to treat these people with medicine than it is in Finland, a WHOLE lot. In fact, in Finland we maybe treat them too little with medicine.

Also, they mentioned that sometimes a child is incorrectly diagnosed as ADHD when in fact s/he is just reacting to difficult conditions at home - so all things should be reviewed before making a diagnosis and especially starting the medication - it's pretty strong stuff they give for the kids...
