Kate Kelland at Reuters reports on a new study that asked kids — and not their parents or teachers — whether the medicines they take for their ADHD symptoms work or not:
The research, which for the first time asked children taking ADHD drugs what they felt about their treatment and its effects, found that many said medication helped them manage their impulsivity and make better decisions.
“With medication, it’s not that you’re a different person. You’re still the same person, but you just act a little better,” said Angie, an 11-year-old from the United States who took part in the study and was quoted in a report about its findings.
