There is not enough evidence to suggest that taking ADHD medications affects one's lifespan. ADHD medications are generally considered safe and effective when used as prescribed, and many individuals with ADHD experience improvements in their symptoms and quality of life while taking these medications. It is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to monitor and manage any potential side effects.

What classroom accommodations are available for children with ADHD?

Classroom accommodations vary from school to school but typically include individual time with a teacher to ensure all content is understood, providing headphones or allowing music to be played to help focus attention, and/or more time on tests. Consult your local school board for their particular services; the amount of classroom accommodations has been rapidly increasing in recent years.


If your 12-year-old son is doing poorly in school should you discipline him for bad grades?

Probably he needs some discipline, which refers to structure, rules and instruction rather than punishment. People tend to improve their behavior if the encouragement is positive, rather than shame-based. Talk to his teachers to see what they see as the issues in his schoolwork. Bad behavior can also reflect his not being able to do the work, so he may be avoiding making it happen. You can request testing to find out if there are deficiencies in what he is able to do in English, math and if he has learning issues (language skills? gross and fine motor?) Do not rush to the ADHD sequence until you have checked everything else. I also had my kids go through the Sensory Integration testing (privately) through an Occupational Therapist and the information we gained gave us direction for helping them develop coping skills. Children who are getting enough activity (sports, band and others), a balanced diet and enough sleep (remove the computer and TV from his room) generally handle the change from elementary school to middle school better. It may be hard, but show that you love him and try to find some activities to give the time you have together quality time getting to know one another.

You started taking ADHD pills is it bad for your health?

If you are taking ADHD pills and you do not have ADHD, and were not prescribed that medicine, then it is not only for one illegal, but it is also bad for you, it will affect your body in a different way than people with adhd, because the adhd medicines target their brain and temporarily fixes the negative symptoms of adhd by altering the brain chemicals. If you do not have the same brain chemicals, then the medicine will have different effects on your body, so yes it may very well be bad for your health.
