Many children are diagnosed with ADHD - and that can be very wrong. The actual problem might be depression or bi-polar, or manic depressive - I could go on for quite a while. As such, no ADHD drug will help. Therapy and possible anti-depression drugs might help but certainly can't be diagnosed nor dismissed by the medical/psychological "experts" posting on this board. I mean, I haven't seen MD in anyone's signature posting on this board (no offense intended, VitaminH).
This is a very complex arena and shouldn't be taken lightly.
All that said, once someone is past adolescence, a good diet, excercise and a focus for life certainly can establish a basis and balance for good mental health. If you have that wortking and there are still problems impacting your life, it's time to seek professional help!
