"ADHD is a very emotive subject, which inspires passionate debate.
Everyone seems to have an opinion about the condition, what causes it,
and how to deal with children with ADHD, but the voices of these
children are rarely listened to," explains Dr Singh. "Who better to tell
us what ADHD is like and how medication affects them than the children
themselves?"
Children living with ADHD tend to feel they benefit from medication to
treat the condition and do not think the medication turns them into
'robots', according to a report published October 17. In fact, they
report that medication helps them to control their behaviour and make
better decisions. The study, which gives a voice to the children
themselves, provides valuable insights into their experiences and the
stigma they face.
